FAIL: COSTCO
Costco PO Box 34331 Seattle, WA 98124 To Whom It May Concern, On Thursday, December 8th, at approximately 6:30 PM, I attempted to return a defective item to your Boise, ID location, store #761. The Membership Manager, I believe his name was Richard, refused to honor your policy of allowing me to return any item that I am dissatisfied with. The defective item was a Seagate Flexgo Hard Drive and was being returned in accordance with all of your posted return requirements. In short, your manager was rude to me; and he was even going to open a brand new...

FDNY not invited to the 10th anniversary ceremony of 9/11
NYPD, FDNY & EMS were not invited to the 10th anniversary ceremony of 9/11. According to CNN, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's office issued a statement saying that due to space constraints, this years September 11th memorial ceremony at ground zero was to focus on the victims' family members, and that the first responders would be honored at "different places and times". The FDNY lost 343 of their own that morning. And if they aren't family of victims, who the hell is?...

FAIL: USPS
My complaint to USPS regarding multiple failed deliveries: When I first received the "Sorry We Missed You" notice I was home. No one knocked. And no one rang the bell. The notice was simply left indicating signature required with no attempt to deliver. So I signed the notice, chased the delivery person down the street to explain that I was home at the time the notice was left and that had he bothered to knock (or ring the bell) he would have known that. His only reply was that they'd deliver it the next day. Next day comes and I'm...

I'm 63 and I'm Tired
by Robert A. Hall I'm 63. Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I've worked hard since I was18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven't called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, there's no retirement in sight, and I'm tired. Very tired. I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread...

The Gun is Civilization
Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that's it. In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical...

How to fix Congress
1. Term Limits. 12 years only, one of the possible options below.. A. Two Six-year Senate terms B. Six Two-year House terms C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms 2. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office. 3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people....

FAIL: Excalibur Hotel and Casino
3850 Las Vegas Blvd. South Las Vegas, NV 89109 (877) 750-5464 About a week ago I was given just 12 hours notice that I would need to take off for Vegas for about 4 days. Since I needed to keep the costs down where I could, I decided to give the Excalibur Hotel and Casino a try. The rooms were inexpensive, and the hotel is conveniently located for my specific needs on this trip. Sadly, that might be the nicest thing I have to say about the Excalibur Hotel and Casino. Upon arrival I discovered that I'd have to park...

New Political Party
Not Democrat, Not Republican, Not Independent. It's called the "PISSED OFF PARTY" (or POP). This party is dedicated to vote every incumbent out of office in the next elections. If you're Democrat, vote Democrat. Just don't vote for the incumbent. If you're Republican, vote Republican. Just don't vote for the incumbent. We need to send a message to all politicians, that we're tired of their B.S. If the country votes out all the incumbents, the new incoming politicians will get the message. It's pretty simple. Nobody needs to change parties and let’s face it, there's plenty of blame to spread...
