Having to tell a waiter or waitress I got the wrong food order! H E L L O you took and wrote up the order you shouldn't have to be told it wrong, you should notice that before you bring it out from the kitchen..........

DISCLAIMER: I realize being a waitress is a tough job and it's a job I've never held but still....

The media hyping a story!


Right now the prescription drug abuse story seems to be the hot one but no doubt soon they'll be on to something else!

When requesting a certain denomination bill at my bank and being told they don't have it!



H E L L O your a bank IF you don't have it where would I find it!

Parents who don't control their children and let them treat a dining room in a restaurant like a playground!

Taking children to a nicer dining area is always a "teachable moment" IMHO.

You can teach them that running around in a MacDonald's is fine, but here we sit and are respectful of other diners who may not appreciate children running around and using their outside voice indoors!

I want my meal hot. If it is supposed to be hot that is the way I want it. There is almost no food that is supposed to be hot that I will eat cold or room temp. Not chicken or pizza nothin

I am in my doctor’s office waiting room and it is the older adults afternoon.

There is a chorus of lip smacking and I am on the edge of an anxiety attack.

Hope they get done with the prescription drug abuse kick.

Has those of us who need meds that are controlled substances afraid that our docs catch the bug. I will be having surgery sometime soon and worried that the surgeon won't give adequate pain meds.

Maybe they could start focusing on what the government is doing to people at the borders and internally. But no, that makes too much sense!

1) People who let babies play with keys who put them in mouths. Keys or other items given to kids fall on the floor then get picked back up and returned to the kid. UCK!

2) The assumption that everyone wants to interact with their baby. I think babies are germy and gross...sorry.

3) Cash currency. Handling cash really bothers me. I use debit as much as possible. Yeah, the pin pad is dirty, but one can limit contact to one finger then hand sanitizer.
Why are we still using cash currency? It's been around since at least ancient Roman times. Isn't it time we used a hands free crypto-currency?!

Hypocrites - one of my biggest by far.

Maybe folks who wish to be off grid or that leery of Big Brother might think things through when making changes. Cash can have a easier trail to follow than carefully dealt with crypto-currency.

Which brings forth another pet peeve...people failing to plan ahead.

Lying is on top of the peeve list, though. Not accusing anyone here of that, just watched news stories about our beloved Commander in Cheese.

..


When sports commentators say...."If the season ended today" and when they also try and forecast "wild cards" teams before the season is barley half over!

..
When one main game is being televised, (any sports but I notice it more in baseball) and they slip in some brief footage of another game THEY think we need to see what's happening in!

Last night I counted at least three times when this was done during the Sox game!

When sports commentators analyze a play to death!

Even once it's been challenged and decided they STILL feel the need to go on and on!

Who would know better, some sports commentators sitting far away up in a press booth OR officials down on the field & those studying a play by play on the most modern technology available in this day and age.... :seeingstars:

Of all those damn buttons on my remote....MUTE is my fav.......

my pet peeve is now that there is information infinity out there, they statistic every play to death

Passive aggressive b.s.

People who spread rumors about people and things they have no first hand knowledge of.

:goodpost:
Adding Cat or Dog hair flying around to the mess & that makes it even worse!

YES and this one guy Mark DeRosa he even demonstrates how a play or player should be doing things!

Nine times out of 10 the guy has either a baseball, baseball bat, or some kind of mitt! Yesterday he was intent on showing how Oakland A's Khris Davis has achieved such high stats by his "stepping into the bucket" stance at home-plate! :baseball:

Oh and to add insult to injury, he's forever stating how the Oakland A's are in pendant race..WELL of course they are you nit wit aren't they all, well OK maybe not the NY Mets, but that's a whole other kettle of fish for another time!

My philosophy is if I have to ask how much something cost I probably can't afford so.. I go big or stay home however I'm not opposed to saving a buck or two so... on the rare times I cut out a particular coupon and lug it to the store why is it that there is always some "catch" to it???

Today's experience was that the coupon said "on selected varieties" in print so small you almost would of had to have a magnifying glass to read it! :fastdraq:

Oh and OF COURSE I was not purchasing one of the "selected varieties" :seeingstars:

rant:

I know we have covered this before, but each day it just baffles me.

I am at my job a month now. I work with some very intelligent and kind people. They are so helpful... seriously they are a real good team to be a part of.

Our office is a very nice well kept building. We have nice windows and plants and other aesthetically pleasing things to make a nice space. The owners seem to care about that.

Then there's the kitchen. You open the fridge. What you see grosses you out. I had to wipe down a shelf before i put my lunch bag in it. I watch people come and go and use this fridge. I don’t get how they can stand it.
I threw out some jam that has been fermenting for about 4 years.

I brought cleaning stuff and cleaned it the first week i was there as best I could. . It was pretty gross as it had to be emptied and hosed out i believe, the freezer is insane and since I get ice from it, i prefer it to be less repulsive. I cleaned it best i could as it is full of food and I am sure years beyond their time.

Someone saw me cleaning it and I guess told the owner. I am sure they have no idea. Last Friday two people emptied it and steam cleaned the fridge part. A memo went out with the usual *your mother doesn’t work here, clean up after yourself*

I went in it today to get ice, and the freezer wasn’t touched.

Pet Peeve... why do it half way??? How could you not clean the freezer?

And i cannot even tell you about the toaster oven or microwaves!

I am just amazed at this..

/rant

My pet peeve is the opposite...I cannot tell you the number of times I have gone through the checkout, and the only thing said to me by the cashier is the total price of my order!

I always say hello, but they stare off into space while they robotically scan my food/items, or talk to the bagger about their plans for the weekend, or..... if it was not for your customers, you would have no reason to be at the registers, and if it was not for your customers you would not have a business.

So, if the person PAYING your salary needs to use their phone.....

I see your point. And agree. Unless it’s important. There are calls I will not ignore or stop because I’m at the register. Hell lately I have found myself walking out of work to take doctors calls not even caring because of the importance. Thankfully they understand. But yes general calls can wait.

I also agree with mstinkerbelly.......
Lol I have experienced that as well. It’s fine with me though as I’m not much for “small talk” however a little common courtesy wouldn’t kill them.

I agree with you about the loudness of people who assume others want to hear them. They might be very lonely or just so ill mannered they don't know how crude they sound.

Gemme,

I am guilty of sharing my music. I was thinking of you the other day when I was driving. Can't You See by The Marshall Tucker Band came on and I turned it up. There are just some songs that beg to be played loudly when driving Jessie (my Jeep) topless. Plus, when it's loud people can't hear me singing.

Perhaps we were separated at birth?

I am definitely a country back road type butch. I live in a small town so traffic isn't really an issue. We have 4 traffic lights and 1 could really be a stop sign.

Of course, I try to be courtesy for the most part but I can't say I have never offended someone with my loud music of choice.

As far as other people's music, regardless of the type, I am not usually offended. Red lights don't last forever.

Put me on a back road and give me a good song and all bets are off.

...lack of discretion

...lack of courtesy
