Shit that annoys you

[systemoverblow'd]

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.

[hawkgt]

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.

People who have to give a huge preamble and pre-apology to any question they're about to ask or statement they're about to make. It's usually women. I'm on a local board here and one of the female members starts every question or statement like:

"I'm sorry, and this is just me talking, and I don't know how you all feel about this, but I just need to ask this and I'm sorry if you don't agree but this just needs to be said and maybe it's a dumb question but I just need to ask it so I'm just going to put it out there and I'm sorry if you think this is crazy but..."

Ask the fucking question already for Christ's sake!!

Spot on. Fucking spot on mate.

The dichotomy between wanting a cigarette and knowing that each one makes me feel badly. It's a relief that makes me ill.

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.

I have a TSA compliant laptop bag...And at least half the time the TSA agents make me take it out of the bag and put it in a separate bin.

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.

Hahaha. That seems to happen more often than not. Or they'll ask the moment before you deliver the punchline on a good joke, or right before you're about to say the last line of the story you were in the middle of. Never fails. 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.

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.

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.

"Yes, for dessert I would like the beer you should have brought me 15 minutes ago". As a rule I have a two pint minimum with dinners out, 3 if the server's paying attention.

TSA= Thousands Standing Around. Deserves it's own thread.

[Ripzalot]

Americans who adopt brit-isms, period.

them: "Cheers!"

me: "I love that show!"

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.

you gotta eat slower and pause sometimes for them to get the timing right.

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.

A good waiter or waitress will be by your table to ask how everything is

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?"

[BigDaddy]

^That's not a joke... it's a true story.


btw, that was your post number 3000 and I love that line.
