If you can graduate from medical school I think you can figure out how to find a cab home from the airport in another city. (seriously, this is the kind of stuff people complain about, want an admin to help with, etc) Ridic!

    The FB thing drives me nuts ie "I'm having the WORST day!"  or "FML" or something attentionwhoring like that, just because they want everyone to say "oohhh what's wrong?"  SO annoying!

    This is a good one. The people who complain have obviously never needed their services. If you're going to go into a burning building, you will never be paid enough. ever. Same goes for law enforcement, ER doctors who are seeing people completely mangled up, military, etc.
