For Your Safety

I am getting sick of companies telling us that their incompetence is "for your convenience" or "for your safety".

Statement
Translation
For your safety, the flight is being delayed 30 minutes for an additional inspectionWe scheduled our flights too close together
For safety, please re-enter your passwordWe couldn't get our system to transfer your information from one department to another
For your safety, no beverages are allowed in the facilityWe want you to pay $2 for our water bottles
For your convenience, we have provided...So you can do it yourself and we can hire fewer people, we have provided...
For your convenience, press '1' for our automated help systemPlease try to figure out your problem so we don't have to talk to you

Here is another one for you...

"For your protection"...new credit cards can not be used until they have been "activated" by calling a phone#. When you call that number you have to listen to several advertisements before your card is "activated".
