They really need to put a warning label on that stuff.

That's BS man. And they can bump you to the next flight if their idiot [BLEEP] overbooked the plane even though you are confirmed for your flight. The next time I have to go somewhere I'm driving. That's screwby. 

You want to know what else is BS? I got an MRI today. Cost me $186 and they're going to charge me another $60 copay when the results are read. But not to me, they're just being "read" into my chart and I'll be charged another $60 Friday when I see my ortho surgeon to actually get my results. They're going to nickel and dime me to debt. This didn't happen four years ago when I went through this for my first shoulder surgery.
So long story longer, here's what they did to me.  I'm going to Reno at the end of May for the national bowling tournament.  My wife and I are going out for a few extra days and staying in a cabin in Tahoe.  I originally had my return flight booked as a 7:00am departure out of Reno on Monday 6/1, returning to Daytona Beach (for some reason it was almost $200 cheaper than JAX) at 8:00pm.  I get an email that they changed my itinerary.  The interesting thing was the flight that they flagged as being 'changed' in the Atlanta to Reno leg...I had never booked to begin with.  I looked at my original itinerary to confirm.  

Then when I look further into the new itinerary, I notice they changed my return flight.  The Reno to Atlanta leg had been changed to a redeye at 10:10pm on 5/31, getting into Atlanta at 5:25am on 6/1.  Not only that, they didn't bother changing the Atlanta to Daytona flight so I'll be sitting in Atlanta for almost 13 hours after doing a redeye.  13 [BLEEP] hours in an airport.  Not only that, I paid for a cabin in Tahoe and wasn't supposed to check out until Monday 6/1.  So I lose that money.  And of course Delta will gladly give me a new flight if I pay them because none of the other flights fall into the same price range.  [BLEEP] pirates.

And, of course, after I'm on the phone with Delta customer service for 45 minutes I get the email from the Jaguars' ticket office.  Just made for a lovely day overall.

Not quite worthy of a rant, but more than trivial.

Today I had a colonoscopy. Not fun, but expected, so that's not the annoyance. Yesterday was prep day, so even less fun, but still expected. Part of the prep was to only have clear liquids all day, and not have anything to eat or drink after midnight. What they forgot to mention was to take some caffeine before midnight if you are a heavy user. Needless to say, I woke up with a nasty caffeine-withdrawal headache, and was not allowed either caffeine or pain reliever until after the procedure.

OK, my appointment is for 9:10 AM. So I figured I'd be back on caffeine by 10:30 at the latest.

Well, I sat in the waiting room, with the headache, until I was called in a full two and a half hours after my appointment time. And I sat in the prep room for another hour after that. Can't they at least get the scheduling somewhat accurate?

Did you know that you can rent a Shelby Mustang for $177 a day? Cheaper than Disney, and no lines! At least I got that much out of the magazine in the waiting room.

I will not ask how you obtained personal knowledge of this fact.

Those guys have been spotted in the woods behind my house.  Occasionally they can be heard.  Before the reports and pics came out, it was like “surely that wasnt What I thought it was”.

So to summarize, you developed a cold sore on your mouth as result of contact with a monkey?

Dang dude. You can drive from Atlanta to your destination in less time. You definitely had a craptastic day. So sorry to hear that.

I’m not too worried about the Macaques.  I’m fairly certain the Bigfoot I’ve seen in those woods will drive them off.  A little Abreva will cure him in 3-5 days.
