Thank You For Your Patience

I hear that a lot lately. My trip to LA this weekend involved a traffic delay getting to the airport (which made me miss my original flight), a luggage delay at the other end, and a plane delay on my return flight. It’s written on signs. It comes out of intercoms. It’s spoken by smiling airline staff.

Thank you for your patience.

I have no patience. Don’t thank me, because I don’t have it. I don’t. It’s like thanking someone for holding the door open who hasn’t, isn’t, and will never hold the door open.

They should thank us for holding in our rage. That would make a lot more sense.

Thank you for holding in your rage.

I like that a lot better.

You Might Recognize this Jacket from the Hit TV Show Entourage

I uttered that phrase many, many times yesterday. We went to “It’s a Wrap” in LA, which is a production wardrobe sales store. Basically the studios buy brand name clothes for their productions, then when they don’t need them anymore they sell them to this store, which in turn sells ‘em to us. There are labels on all the clothes that say what production they came from.

So I got this Adidas track jacket that was worn on Entourage. You know what this means – Now I have to watch every episode of Entourage until I find my jacket. But that’s okay. It’s a good show.
