Cantankerous

 Might be age related or maybe it's the drugs, but I don't get angry any more, have not had a verbal dispute or argument in years, don't even flip off tailgaters, not even when I'm driving the speed limit and the yahoos insist the legal rate is 10 miles over the posted speed limit. 

  I know privacy is important and appreciate attempts by companies to preserve mine. But enough is enough. Today I got a call from Walgreen's. I usually don't answer, because all they can tell me is that my prescriptions are ready, or will be next week. But today I picked up their incoming call, and a human voice asked if I were the person being called. I said yes. She asked me for my DOB, which I admit to numerous times for almost every interaction. I asked her why she was calling, and she said she couldn't tell me until I gave her my DOB.  Would that be my privacy that's being protected or theirs?  I said no thanks, I'll go to the store in person.
