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....

I did that Valentine's Day. There's a bakery here that's only open for half the day 6 days a week and they are verrrry popular. DC loves their Boston Cream donuts, so I went to pick Him up a couple and after I'd been in line about 30 minutes, I hear this from the back of the house, "No more Bostons! The injector's broke!". I crane my head to see if they had any more on the tray and they are all out. Just when I'm contemplating choosing something else or walking out, I see the éclairs. It's a giant Boston Cream, basically. There are 3 left. The woman in front of me takes one. I took the last 2.

Do I feel bad about it? Not a bit. I do feel annoyed that the bakery didn't think ahead and make more donuts than usual. The day before was Fat Tuesday and they ran out of inventory then too. Tsk, tsk....

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!

That's what you get for asking for a $3 bill.

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!

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?!

Cash is definitely germy and most bills have cocaine residue on them but I doubt that cash will ever fully go away. There's too many people off the grid or leery of Big Brother for that to happen plus it's better to have cash than plastic for those with budgeting issues.

My pet peeve...for thread compliancy...is cats who walk underfoot all. of. the. freakin'. time. I'm going to fall one day and break my neck and then who is going to open his can of food?
