what was your odometer reading? on my papers it says 21 miles? wtf are there so many miles already on my car.. thats a 30 minute drive somewhere.. i mean it got on a boat and then on a truck.. where did the 21 miles come from? should i be upset about this.. the thought of some punk kid who works at the dealership taking my car out for a joy ride makes my blood boil.. tell me im being retarded and that all of your odemeters read around the same number..before i throw a fit and demand some extra stuff like tint or something

It all depends on the car. If you purchased a car on the lot that had been sitting there for a little bit, it will typically have more mileage than "fresher" cars. A lot of car dealerships just pick one car and use it as the test-drive car for one day, or sometimes they'll use a car to run an errand or something.
I'm sure nobody abused your car, but I always prefer a car that has been stored in the bigger warehouse or just arrived at the dealership, or something along those lines. This way you get a car with lower mileage and you have less "before the car was in my hands" mileage to worry about.

My ordered rides have had as few as 5 miles and as many as 15 miles, but I've heard of many more miles on 'ordered' rides.

When i got my car it had 15 miles. I dont think you have anything to worry about because from what the dealer told me when i got my car was before they hand the keys over to the new owner they check if eveything is good to go. 
Not sure if the dealer was lying to me but i some what believe him :P.

Also keep in mind some minor testing will be performed. Infiniti doesnt want to deliver a car to you, only to have your car die 3 blocks from the dealership.
(actually, I talked to some poor guy broken down the other day... he had *just* purchased a new Escalade, drove less than a mile and the drivetrain locked up. Had to get it flat bedded out of the middle of the road. Go figure.. hope the dealership made it up to him!)

Maybe they let a customer test drive it. My car had 19 miles on it when I took it on a test drive and 27 when I got back to the dealer and bought it.

I ordered mine as well, it said 12 miles on my paper work, but it had 4.2 miles on the odometer......
