May I never become like that...

I always found out that asking/reminding nicely once works wonders. Getting all pumped up for something that trivial is, like kymba said, completely out of place; crisis or not.

I was stuck in Houston during Ike, and the hotel lost power and even water for about 2-3 days, but seeing the staff working really hard to put things back together, and all those evacuees and people who lost everything; I would never have dared .....ing about anything. Yet, some people go beserk because they don't find a newspaper at their doorstep...

Set your priorities straight.
