Customer Service - is it too much to ask?

Today I received a call from my local Pizza Hut in Easley.  The man asked if I wanted to take advantage of one of their specials today.  I responded by saying I have dinner in the oven.  He so sarcastically responded by saying "At two in the afternoon?"  Yes, you jerk at two in the afternoon - it's called a pot roast!   I informed him b/c of his rudeness and ignorance I would no longer be ordering from Pizza Hut.  You think I'm kidding?  There's plenty of pizza companies out there more than willing to take my business.

To make matters worse a few minutes after getting off the phone I received a knock on the door from the UPS man.  I said "hello," but instead of responding he just pushed the signature pad my way meanwhile pushing my package towards the door with his foot.  He doesn't know what's in the package - it happened to be a semi-expensive toy for my husband which had just gotten done getting repaired so that's all I need is someone kicking it.  In the words of my good friend Austin "God Bless!"

this is jeopardy!

i heart jeopardy! especially the college and teen tournaments b/c then i just feel extra smart! last week i was watching the college tournament and one of the questions went something like this: which 5'3" author was the basis of two movies in 2006 and 2007? one of the college students answered (after furiously buzzing in) "who is frodo baggins?" did i mention the category was "authors"?!?! i do believe i almost fell off my chair laughing. poor guy! i'm sure as soon as the words left his mouth he was mortified! i just had to share b/c it was too funny to keep to myself.
good news: he did go on to get one of the wildcard spots so i'm sure he'll redeem himself.

p.s. for those wondering the answer is: capote
