Working with people in the UK. They always get me "notes" at their EOD, which is the my middle of day and want the changes in the morning. Great, looks like I'll be working late tonight.

neighbors who just put bags of trash (about 10-15 a week for family of 5) on the curb and don't take time to close them. shit blowing everywhere..... and they wonder why the raccoons hang out at their place.
Washing Pot and pan lids. Pasta strainers/colanders, too. Rinse that shit off and put it back in the cabinet.
Waitresses who ask me "how is everything?" when I have a fork in my mouth.
I dont get it.
Spot on. Fucking spot on mate.Quote:

This. And also, she just sat the plate down, I'm digging out my knife and fork and clearly haven't even considered taking a bite when she asks, "So, how is everything?". Fuck if I know.Quote:

WTF? It says "TSA compliant" right on it!
I've had the same as well. I popped for a Timbuk2 version where the backside zips off and flat to go through the scanner. About every third flight, some crimefighter feels compelled to flop my bag back over the computer, requiring a rescan.Quote:

Seems that only at classier joints do servers pay the slightest bit of attention before even approaching your table. Now for THAT, I'll tip quite well.Quote:

I personally don't understand this pet peeve. A good waiter or waitress will be by your table to ask how everything is a moment or two after they drop off the dish. The chances of you, or one of the 4 people at the table having a mouth full of food is extremely high. One person is talking, three people are eating. A simple nod, eyebrow lift and an "ummmm!" or a *thumbs up* will suffice. You don't have to answer. Most frequently you won't be taking a bite if the food blows and you're unhappy. Either way, a waiter or waitress checking on a table is never a bad thing.Quote:

Waitresses who don't notice my beer needs refilling half way through a meal, and then ask if I want a refill when I have maybe one bite of dinner left and then try to take a dessert order.Quote:

TSA= Thousands Standing Around. Deserves it's own thread.
i think americans with no table manners are more annoying. most americans just know how to stuff their faces, not enjoy the drinks/meals and the company around it. i am constantly amazed when i go home.Quote:

When did people start turning on their emergency flashers in heavy rain? Great, now it's raining really hard and I get to deal with the glare from your e-lights. Idiots.
reminds me of the old joke: a waiter in a deli walked up to a table where 4-Jewish women were seated and asked " Is anything OK?"Quote:
