Watch Your Anger

Deciding to have pizza for dinner, I called one of the pizza houses in the neighborhood and ordered a jumbo deluxe.  I told the person on the other end of the line that I'd pick it up in 30 minutes.
When I arrived, my mouth watering for hot pizza, I was told that my order had never been received.  Furious, I lectured the young waiter on the poor service before storming out.
On the way home, I stopped at a competing pizza shop and requested a jumbo deluxe.  "That's funny," the young man said as he took my order.  "You're the second person named Collins to order the same pizza in the last 45 minutes.  I don't think the other guy is going to show."  -Dave Collins

Be very careful before "telling someone off."

“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe….   Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not.   Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
