A Few Tips to Cope With Life's Annoyances
"When Seth Shepsle goes to Starbucks, he orders a "medium" because "grande" - as the coffee company calls the size, the one between big and small - annoys him....When subscription cards fall from magazines Andrew Kirk is reading, he stacks them in a pile at the corner of his desk.
