Ever take the time to ponder the unexplainable things we come across in our daily lives? I am not talking about things like how the toilet paper doesn't get replaced, but the new roll is resting on the empty cardboard tube of the previous one. Or how when you drop toast it always falls buttered side down. Some things just can't be answered.
No I am talking about things like if 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, why do they have locks on the door (sorry Stephen Wright for stealing your material). I once went to a sub shop in Parker that had a sign on the door as you walked in that read "Sorry, out of Bread". They were next door to a grocery store! How does that happen? You are a sandwich shop, the one thing you should have plenty of is bread!
So yesterday I went to get the oil changed in my F-150. I mention the make of the truck so you can see it is a common one. And I was at a large chain of oil changing shops that rhymes with "Lease Chunky". I pull up, and the guy tells me, "I am out of oil filters", I said "You are what?" Just wanted to make sure I heard him correctly. He repeated himself, and said that they should have more in in a few days. I shook my head, told him that was unbelievable, and squealed my tires on the way out of his parking lot (it made me feel better). I went to another shop, got my oil changed, and all is right with the world again. Then I told my buddy Mike what happened, and he said "Why didn't they send the FNG (flipping new guy) to the auto parts store on the other side of the parking lot to get a filter?" Good question Mike, and I don't know. It seems that kind of customer service had gone away, like naming your kid Aurthur, or Rosemary.
I am sure you have all had similar experiences, how bout you all share them in the comment section, it would be nice to see that someone is actually reading this blog!
Peace,

It's like that time I went to the cup cake store and they were . . . out of cup cakes. WTF?
