With all of the greatest respect for you, lurkette (and fear of ratbastid), I don't see the little things as being connected to Civil Rights violations. I know that it appears that way in print, but common sense tells me that I'm not sliding toward totalitarianism from Best Buy.
I think it's possible and quite common to experience little annoyances without them being synonymous with infringement.

Any one of you pull that "no don't check my bag" crap when you are leaving a store before front of me, you wil have to deal with my wrath for holding me up...  |
Beautifully expressed. Put me down for that, too.
