Offended

by Nicholas Barnard on February 15th, 2003

The gas station was kinder. I attempted to order a Zebra here at Starbucks and I got corrected to the technical name – a 1/2 white chocolate 1/2 chocolate mocha. I asked why and they said a customer took offense to it.

While I don’t feel a need to be offended but I’m quite sure there are things that offend my sensibilities that I’ve just been conditioned to accept. The phrases “thats just the way it is,” “oh thats what the majority is,” “Its nothing worth getting upset about” are all phrases to lull myself and others into accepting the status quo.

Okay thats a big idea and a big change. I need to think more about integrating that.

Well apparently I’ve acquired a high efficiency engine.
