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 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!

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

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!

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

Sitting next to one right now. All the other seats are taken.

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?!

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?

People standing on the sidewalk in front of my house SMOKING! A few doors down is an outdoor garden pub that doesn't allow smoking. So, the smoking crowd wonders a couple hundred feet away, stand in groups and smoke right in front of my house. WTF!

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!

homoe · 07-30-2018, 09:15 AM

..
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!

homoe · 08-04-2018, 07:09 AM

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....

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