Least Favorite Stores to Shop In

Apropos of nothing, the businesses below are where I least enjoy shopping and why...

Home Depot - Not just because I don't know what I'm doing there but because it is so darn difficult to get someone to help you figure it out.

AT&T - You can wait forever and there are no chairs. When you do get answers from a service person, you don't understand what the heck they told you.

IKEA - Hard to believe I have to explain this. IKEA is just a dreadful place to be in the middle of. Even though the merchandise is reasonably priced (cheap, usually) and you can pay someone to put it together for you, the display rooms are aspirational only. Even the done-up 225-square-foot apartment model is too perfect. You will never achieve this or any other IKEA look in your own home.

Newsflash: Texting while Driving BAD!

As a rabid opponent of using a cellphone while driving, I am not surprised to hear the results of a new study
(http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/03/28/adults-worse-than-teens-about-texting-behind-wheel/2026331/)
declaring that nearly half of all those surveyed do text and drive, despite the fact that almost all of the people surveyed know it is dangerous.

They needed a study for this?
