The stupid question thread.....

I love stupid questions, and this board is just a wealth of information to answer them all. So lets have a thread were we can ask questions that we're too embarrassed to ask in person.

Why is it when you go to the pharmacy, there could be three pharmacists and no customers but yourself, yet you still have to wait 20-30 minutes for your prescription to be filled? Why can't they just grab your shit off the shelf right there and then?


*NOTE*
They confirm your health insurance before they even take your prescriptions so I'm not buying it that they have to confirm coverage.
The real question is, don't you phone your pharmacy orders in advance so you don't have to wait?

If you are waiting, it's because someone smarter than you phoned their order in and it's being filled ahead of your walk in order. When you phone an order in, they inevitably tell you "it will be ready in 20-30 minutes."
Okay Mr. Marty McSmartypants….then why are all three pharmacists stood around doing nothing instead of filling in all these phone-in prescriptions you speak of?

Because they want to reward the smart people with their drugs faster than the stupid people. Consider it their own brand of "natural" selection…
if everybody in our country became vegetarians and lived off the land with no electricity except for what was generated by solar/wind, and gathered water from rain, planted their own food, established their own forms of small "governments" for and by the people . . . wouldn't we just be invaded and slaughtered by meat eating brutes that live by the futures of money controlled destruction and chaos?

why would we have to be vegetarians? why couldn't people just hunt their own food?

because most people with guns nowadays only know how to shoot each other, and human tastes horrible.

Yes. And we'd deserve it. A better question is would we become Canadians or Mexicans?

How is it legal for Stub Hub to already be selling Kings of Leon tix for the DAR show for $448 each when there hasn't even been a 'Pre-sale'?

And why do they call it a pre-sale? They're still selling the tickets. When I order movie tickets on the internet tubes instead of in-person its still just a sale.

They confirm your account or that you've been there before, but the particular med you need is not confirmed until they input it through the insurance channels. That and I dunno, it takes them that long to count? It's amazing that some pharmacies in the area or notorious for messing up orders and taking forever to fill them. I think you want them to take some time. Have you seen behind the scenes pharmacy stories? :o
Recently I went to a baseball game. This guy behind me spoke loudly on his cell phone a few times; one call lasting 20 minutes. He mostly discussed what he's been up to, his plans for the weekend, their plans for the weekend, nothing pertaining to the moment.

Then, he engaged in a lengthy discussion with the guy who jumped into the empty seat behind me (who also yelled in my ear three times).
Oh, and did I mention the cell phone talker sounded like Ray Romano? (I'm not kidding.)

Maybe my problem is it's been awhile since I've been to game. We're outside obviously, and it's a sporting event. Yelling and camaraderie is expected. It didn't take much to concentrate on the game but I couldn't seem to tune out his loud conversations.
I really thought I was going to go all Denis Leary on ass. I refrained for fear I'd see my face on the big screen getting kicked out.

Stadiums are all spiffed up with all sorts of non-smoking & beer limit rules, what is the etiquette on cell phones and unnecessary talking? Should I have leaned over and asked him to tone it down?
