Stupidity:
My tolerance for stupidity now lasts only 10 seconds and 2 questions.
I know I shouldn't expect it from McDonald's, but when I ask "How many do you get in an order?"
I asked because the meal deal showed 2, but the value menu was writen singular.
A number is the correct responce. Not, "How many do you want?"
That wasn't my question, I want to know how many I get per order.
"If you want one, I can sell you one."
I just walked out.

Work:
ONE cook, and the "chef" and the manager don't help when it gets busy.
In fact, the "chef" takes up half of the working counterspace to create specials.
This kitchen has a very small working area, a third of the things I need are next to his knees and he doesn't believe that someone in his position has to get out of the way of underlings.
On Sundays, the owner likes to bring friends in to show off his restaurant. He doesn't call the manager in to make sure his friends are covered by adequate line service.
One cook, suddenly 15 orders. The most I ever usually get are 4.
And the "wait staff" are idiots. Most of them.
None of them have been trained in serving. They are coffee jockeys that are now serving and waiting tables.
Yesterday, I'm doing a small rush and the FOH super comes back to ask for a side of Dijon mustard. Well I don't carry it on the line as it is an ingredient for the dijon mayo.
It's a side. It's in the fridge. Way over there.
I had to leave the line and the cooking to go into the fridge and get him a tablespoon of dijon mustard out of a gallon jar.
Seriously?
I am Extremely on the verge of asking the bosses if they have ever, EVER, worked in a restaurant before.

Humanity:
This NSA/phone tapping thing.
Shouldn't things that are even close to being unconstitutional be looked are and decided upon way, WAY, before they get the go ahead?

And CNN keeps doing stories on heroic people. Or ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
So this gives us a base definition and target for good and moral behavior.
Since when did this become a anomaly?
As a society, by not rewarding good behavior (Real reward, not the absence of punishment) we are rewarding negative behavior.
Shady deals, taking away people's joy, putting down others in favor of our own ego, greed, egotism, all the bad things that are considered negative.
Humans just aren't mature enough for free will yet.
