you wanna know what really irked me? the other day i go in to a fast food place for lunch.

"welcome to quickie burger" greets me as i approach the counter.

"i'd like a super burger and small drink!"

"i'm sorry sir, we don't have small drinks; just medium and large."

just medium and large? how is that possible? by definition medium has to be defined by something that is smaller and larger. if one of these things were missing, medium would take over for the missing size. therefore, quickie burger's medium drink is just a small renamed to make it sound better. that's retarded. i don't want a medium, because a medium is too much. i want a small!

to make matters worse some companies do away all together with the small-medium-large scale. i went to a popular yuppie coffee joint the other day for some coffee. i get to the menu in the drive thru and pick what i want.

"can i help you?"

"yeah, i'd like coffee; black coffee."

"ok, sir. what size?"

"medium."

"we don't have medium. we have tall, grande, and venti."

what in the heck? who are these people and why are they too messed up to use a normal scale? people are tall. rivers are grande. what the heck is venti?
