People and things that infuriate you way LESS than they should

[youtalkfunny]

For me, it's not about service, it's about money. When my bank adds a few minor charges to my "free" checking account, I don't even blink. When I actually READ my phone bill, and see how many companies and government agencies have their hands out, I just shrug and pay.

What pisses me off is when it seems like life is easier and better if you lower your standards. Then sometimes it seems you can't lower them fast or far enough, the world is outpacing you. And living with low standards is a lot more to ask of someone than just not making a big deal out of your occasional screw-ups.

I wish I knew the author of this quote:

Mediocrity is the new standard of excellence.

It's so true. No matter what service you're after, as long as they don't screw something up, you're delighted with the "great service" you got.
