14. Well, you have called Ron's Pizzaria and Tattoo Parlor -

That's the only tattoo that has ever appealed to me.

27. Mine quotes an unnamed Mod:
They said, "LOCKED: It's bad luck to put shoes on the table."

No one has ever explained what that means, but I assume it was a bad thing. I will wear it until I find out. Or until I get bored with it.

9. I've Had Those Automated "Please Hold" Messages Keep Me On Hold...
... and then DECIDE FOR ME that the wait was going to be too long and tell me to call back later. (Comcast does this.) But this is AFTER I've already waited for 4 or 5 minutes.
