People wasting food.

 

It irks me that people get a shitload of food on their plate yet they only eat 1/4 of their plate.

i hate that i ordered this veggie sub, and they totally fucked up the order. i asked for no lettuce and no onions. i also got no pickles, no olives, and no mushrooms. and i asked for it to be toasted and it clearly wasn't. all i got was a slab of bread with cucumber, green pepper, and tomatoes. DAS NOT COOL.

 

How can a place that makes the food right in front of you make so many mistakes that you didn't catch? The only thing I can think of that doesn't put some consumer responsibility on you is it was some wacky Subway with a drive-thru. I've never seen one like that and I can't say I'd ever use one if I did.

 

I'm not trying to pick on you, but standing in line you would clearly see if they put it in the toaster or not and could have asked them to once they served you the untoasted sub.

Blame the restaurants for serving too much food. Seriously. If everyone ate everything on their plate, we'd be even fatter than we already are.

I should have been more specific.

 

It is when at a buffet or even at work, when we serve a cafeteria style and the clients get a shit load of food and eat 1/4 of it.

This is clearly your fault. There's something wrong with you if this shit is happening.

Politically speaking here for a moment. Granted, I'm not voting for Obama in November, he's a bit too liberal/socialist for my taste. But a month or so ago people were screaming at him to break ties with Rev. Wright for being a racist nutjob. Finally, Obama recently does it, and these same people that were demanding the good Rev be thrown under the bus say that it was strictly for convenience politically that he did it. I mean, WTF? This is what you wanted and now you're not happy he did it.

I get mildly annoyed when the cashier at Pizza Hut asks for my phone number when I'm order pizza for carry out in person and paying cash.

I get mildly angry when the cashier gets angry for me daring to not get a phone number, which happens 99% of the time.

I get really angry when the cashier tells me he needs a phone number to complete the order, and then gets pissed when I give him 555-5555, which happens probably 50% of the time.

 

I really shouldn't need to give my phone number for an in person cash transaction. Especially when it's for a pizza.

They only do that so they can get your address for the next time you order and let you know if something goes wrong.

 

I know that doesn't apply to the scenario you described, but that's just what they're trained to do.

 

Having said that, you live in Alaska. If the COPS in Alaska episode(s?) have taught me anything about Alaska, it's that everyone is drunk all the time. So that may be why.

 

 

 

I get that whenever I order food in some jerkwater swamp town (far from Anchorage AK, I know, but it made me think of it). When your town's population is so small that the employees are the absolute dregs of society... It's like, you either scrape the bottom of the barrel, or you have no staff. It's sort of funny.

 

When I was working up in Calaveras county CA, and I went to Taco Bell late at night, I swear it was basically like one of my underage drug/sex parties, set in a Taco Bell theme. I was like "Dude, you're totally fucked up right now, aren't you?" And he was like "Pfft. Yeah." and I said "Hey, I used to work at Taco Hell. Lemme behind the counter and I'll make my own burrito." And I did that... and I paid them fairly. I was in a kind mood.

Hick towns, man. Straight hell on earth.

That angered you? That would be far preferable to most experiences with incompetent fast-food employees.

 

The Ebay comment rang a bell: I'm always annoyed when I'm searching for something on the internet, and come across hundreds of false hits strictly because some dumbasses loaded their pages up with keywords in order to increase traffic. This is most annoying over on Youtube, where you get shit like the cocksuckers who post ther video game wrestling matches on there... and then proceed to name every single wrestler on the game's roster in every single post. You search for Ric Flair or anybody else who was in the last SDvsRaw and you'll pull up literally hundreds of dumbasses who seriously believe that other people would enjoy watching them play video games. And that's not even the worst, I'm not even going near those bizarre kids who film matches involving their action figures.

Everytime I order fast food and I either get the wrong order or I'm missing food.

This doesn't happen much lately but on the fast-food topic, a few years I was routinely getting extra pickles when I asked for none. This usually applied to drive-thru orders in the days before they had LCD signs that showed you your order so it very well could have been them pressing the wrong key or something I wouldn't be able to detect by having a screen with the details near me. That never stopped me from thinking someone was just being an ass though.

 

I'm not one to make a scene about anything though, and anytime something like this happened while dining in I just quietly removed the pickles myself and didn't say a word.

 

In a refreshingly honest non-angering moment, my cousin once told someone at a Taco Bell drive-thru window that his Pepsi tasted awful and she responded, "yeah, our pop sucks sometimes" and gave him something else.

 

On the subject of "drive-thru", while I accept "thru" in that instance as it's such a common term, people using "thru" and "nite" as acceptable variations really bothers me for reasons I can't explain. When I was on a class trip in Chicago in 98, the former Rock and Roll McDonalds had SEVERAL signs all saying "Drive-THUR". All of them said it.

 

Signs:

 

I wish I could remember the details, but a few years ago a Part Source put a sign outside to advertise some sort of job opening and a key word was spelled wrong. It remained that way until the sign was removed a few weeks later. It looked quite unprofessional of them. I think it had something to do with references - like "References Requiared", but really I don't remember.

 

The signs at food stands in Comerica Park want people to be at least 42 to buy beer. I have no idea why they have never corrected it - surely someone has pointed out that "Being 21 Years or Older On This Date in 1987" means you're asking them to be 42 to buy beer.

 

Actually, both of these instances make me laugh more than make me angry.

The city hall inspectors that use some software I've been working on for my job, that complain to us that it doesn't accommodate or adapt to their spelling errors and just plain entering shit inconsistently or in the wrong fields. Before this, it was "I have fucking ancient eyes and every screen has to be blown up for me" and "I want to be able to rename everything". I thought I knew what user-friendly meant before, but now I really do.

 

That reminds me of a good one:

 

People (generally older) on different shifts where I work will not only change the monitor resolution to 800x640, but set the option that makes desktop icons EXTRA LARGE. It looks so awful.

Some airlines now only giving you one checked bag without extra fees. It's annoying by itself, but what pisses me off more is that this means it's going to somehow be WORSE with people trying to carry on 10,000 bags that should have been checked. It's already impossible to get overhead space most of the time, not I guess it'll be impossible all of the time. Thanks airlines.

But you spell through THRU, and I’m with you on that, ‘cause we spell it “THRUFF,” and that’s trying to cheat at Scrabble.

 

“How can we get that “OU” sound?”

 

“Well, a “U” will work,”

 

“What about an “O” as well?”

 

“We don’t need it, we’re fine.”

 

“No, I think an “O” in.”

 

“Well, all right.”

 

“And a “G” as well.”

 

“What?!”

 

“Yes, a “G” would be good. We need a silent “G” in the background, in case of any accidents or something.”

 

“Well, all right.”

 

“And an “H” as well.”

 

“Fucking ‘ell! Hang on.”

 

“An “H” in case some herbs come along.”

 

“All right…”

 

“And a Q, and a P, and a Z… Look it’s a word in Scrabble that’s 480 points!”

When I used to work for Hewlett-Packard, I printed up about a dozen sheets of paper with the header "Do not place labels on these bezels" as a note for the graveyard supervisor. When I came back the next day, I found out that she had gone through all of them with a sharpie pen and crossed out "labels" and wrote in big, capital letters "LABLES". Kinda slapped my forehead in disbelief.

Ebay sellers that put RARE in everything they sell. Super Mario 3 isn't rare...it was the biggest selling game EVER for the system

 

I just remembered how much I can't stand it if somebody is selling a company-specific wrestling-related item, but yet they litter the item description with "WWF WWE WCW NWA ECW WCW OVW TNA ROH Hulk Hogan."

 

There's no reason that my search for a Tatanka action figure should yield results that include a TNA Genesis DVD or an promotional copy of Positively Page.

I agree 100% I was looking for a WCW tape a while back and I got SO many wwf results with that crap.

 

Also Ebay sellers that add "Lots of fun" in their tags. So when you look for a LOT of items it comes up

Government Agencies that tell you to be there on a certain day and when you show up, they are wondering why you are there. What the fuck? I drive all the way there for nothing?

All the inspectors at city hall here are in their late 30's to early 50's, Mexican, get paid $30 an hour, and smoke a lot of weed. I've chilled/smoked/drank with many of those men, with whom my mom works at city hall. Good guys.

I hate shithead drivers that think wearing a blue tooth ear piece means they're being safe, so they think it's ok to merge without signaling or looking.

 

Oh, but they have a blue tooth. SORRY! It was my fucking fault you almost merged into me and killed my wife! Sorry! Keep driving your fucking Audi like it's a BMW and acting like you're the "Big Dog" at your office supply firm.

 

 

That, and personalized license plates. What, you're afraid you'll mistake your black BMW for someone else's at Safeway, douchebag? You need "MYBMER" to tell yours apart from "HISBMER?"

 

Shit heads.
