How is it legal for Stub Hub to already be selling Kings of Leon tix for the DAR show for $448 each when there hasn't even been a 'Pre-sale'?
 
 And why do they call it a pre-sale? They're still selling the tickets. When I order movie tickets on the internet tubes instead of in-person its still just a sale.

 They confirm your health insurance before they even take your prescriptions so I'm not buying it that they have to confirm coverage.

They confirm your account or that you've been there before, but the particular med you need is not confirmed until they input it through the insurance channels. That and I dunno, it takes them that long to count? It's amazing that some pharmacies in the area or notorious for messing up orders and taking forever to fill them. I think you want them to take some time. Have you seen behind the scenes pharmacy stories?

Recently I went to a baseball game. This guy behind me spoke loudly on his cell phone a few times; one call lasting 20 minutes. He mostly discussed what he's been up to, his plans for the weekend, their plans for the weekend, nothing pertaining to the moment.
 
 Then, he engaged in a lengthy discussion with the guy who jumped into the empty seat behind me (who also yelled in my ear three times).
 Oh, and did I mention the cell phone talker sounded like Ray Romano? (I'm not kidding.)
 
 Maybe my problem is it's been awhile since I've been to game. We're outside obviously, and it's a sporting event. Yelling and camaraderie is expected. It didn't take much to concentrate on the game but I couldn't seem to tune out his loud conversations.
 I really thought I was going to go all Denis Leary on ass. I refrained for fear I'd see my face on the big screen getting kicked out.
 
 Stadiums are all spiffed up with all sorts of non-smoking & beer limit rules, what is the etiquette on cell phones and unnecessary talking? Should I have leaned over and asked him to tone it down?

what the scalpers are saying, essentially, is that for that price they'll find you a ticket once they do go on sale.  they're taking advantage of people's nervousness and gullibility.  
 
 how is it legal for SH to do this?  i suspect that they wash their hands of it by saying "we're not selling anything, we're only a communication channel".

That would be a little better if they were 'finding' them for you. But
  they already have the tickets with Section # and Row.

A similar thing happened to me at a concert. Eventually I turned around and said "shut the hell up, I didn't pay $100 to listen to you." Everyone around me gave me a thatagirl smile except for the talker and my then bf.
 
 My stupid question of the day
 I'm working from a coffee shop today and there is a flyer posted on the bboard. Dog Day Festival- Contests and Activities include... bobbing for hot dogs...  I'm wondering if this guy just hand me his card because he saw me reading it?

I hate it when girlfriends talk tough/shit to guys because everyone knows damn well if there's going to be a fight, it's going to be between the guy and the boyfriend. The worst beating I ever got was because my girlfriend was talking shit at the Starboard in Dewey, the guy got pissed, I had to defend her, and it turned out dude was Mr. Mortal Kombat and gave me a beatdown that required a summer of hospital drama.

[Frank Gallagher]

Your first mistake is coming to her defense....you should've just said, "Hey she's trash talking not me" and there's no way he's going to beat the crap out of a girl. If he did you simply grab anything you can get your hands on and crush his skull with it. Bar stool, Pitcher, beer glass, heel of your shoe etc.
 
 I was with a date at a hockey game one time and there was a couple sat behind us. The girl jumped up and spilled her beer down the back of my date, who then turned round and threw her beer in her face. Me and other b/f looked at each other, looked at our beers, looked at each other again and just burst out laughing. It could've gone either way really but humour was the best avenue. Besides I didn't fancy fucking with him and he probably felt the same, and with the price of beer in the Capital Centre we weren't about to let it go to waste. As for the girls, we had the obligatory "BITCH - BITCH etc" then they started laughing when they saw us two rolling on the floor and the situation was difused.

because, silly, you HAVE to specify a section and row.  for that outrageous price, they're promising you that seat or better, SH allows the seller to provide a better ticket than what was sold.
 
 but i wouldn't expect someone who can't appreciate the brilliance that are the Pittsburgh Penguins to understand something as complicated as a business process    :p

i have had friends that cause the same problem.  they'd get all tough when i was around.  i made it very clear to those people that they were not allowed to start anything that i would have to finish.
