I was inspired by this story: > [@](#): > > 911 Operator in Houston Charged After Allegedly Hanging Up on Callers > [INDENT]A 911 operator is accused of intentionally hanging up on callers during emergencies simply because she was not in the mood to help, according to police in Houston.

Kismet! I’ll do you one better: Here in Houston, the recycling people just declined to accept glass of any kind. Too many people were putting _broken_ glass into the bins! It didn’t get broken being dumped into the truck? Ever? Sheesh! ---

Cockroaches and other assorted bugs. No way I got time for those little bastards. Luckily one of my cats is a Mighty Hunter and had plenty of time for that, and when we suffered a cockroach infestation after moving a truckload of boxes from my late in-laws house into the garage a few years ago, he intrepidly and boldly hunted them down. Any roach that dared come into the house met the Jaws of Doom! (And he then came trotting into the living room to show off his kill, which was not so awesome.) ---

I ain’t got time to change the toilet paper roll if no one else is gonna do that either. Seriously people, can the person who finishes it just start the new roll? No? Well, I ain’t got time to do it. I ain’t got time to flatten all of the cardboard from your packages. That’s going into the trash. The recycling fairy does not live here. I ain’t got time to organize the garage. Nope. I ain’t got time to mow the lawn. I will make time to call a gardener if you ain’t got time to do it either. ---

Well a lot of motivational types tell you that you should avoid negative people and all of her callers seem like real complainers to me. Although officer Molten never made it that far. ---
