Pet Peeves

Yeah, it's never been all that great but it was much better many years ago. All I know is that my orders get f'd up a lot more frequently now than in the past. Luckily I don't eat much fast food anymore. Hell, if you're eating out it's practically just as cheap to get a decent meal rather than fast food.

The only fast food job I ever had was in a Long John Silvers. That was back in the mid to late 70's. We may have been punk high school kids but we had at least a little pride in the job we did....most of the time. :lol:

I don't eat fast food except when I can't avoid it, so maybe it's gotten worse than I remember.

I'm just saying that if you're getting cheap food, then you should expect to get what you pay for.

I get that and I do expect the food to suck but it isn't really all that cheap anymore and the service is way worse. I guess I don't see any excuse to f up tossing the correct burger and fries in the bag no matter how cheap it is. It's not like they have to complete a calculus problem to figure out what's supposed to happen there. If Mickey D's is stressing your abilities it might be time to gtfo.

 
As someone who hires a lot of people, I'm glad there is a certain level of employee that goes and works fast food.

And...the fact I don't eat it much.

 
New peeve:  people who start a thread that is the same topic as multiple other threads because they think their thoughts are so significant that they can't just be added to one of the existing discussions.

 
I might've already mentioned these but I had one happen again.

As a customer: Having a cashier exclaim to me about how expensive the item I'm buying is. If I want to buy $50 cat litter that's on me, and leave me alone so I can go home.

When I was a cashier: Having a customer complain to me about how expensive the item(s) they're buying are. Go the hell to another store then. I'm just a cashier - I don't set the prices.

Similarly I find it odd when the cashier starts investigating my purchase.  It mostly happens at the grocery store, they're on a roll scanning and then suddenly they're turning an item over and perusing it like it's an interesting new library book.   It's typically followed by a "is this good?  I've never seen it before"

edit:  AND - what's up with one person dividing up their cart and paying separately for like three different orders?  Nobody can do math any more?

That reminds me. I got asked once what my epsom salt was for. I feel like they should know better than to ask about supplements or pharmacy items. I was using it for one of my toes but some people use it for constipation. Not something everyone wants to talk about.

"Politics guy" at work. I didn't ask  to hear your rants, to see your articles or chain e-mails, to hear the biased political show you play too damn loud, or to see the crappy memes on your phone.  If I want to hear your politics I'll ask you for input, otherwise the internet is full of places you can rant, link, and meme to your heart's content. 

Folks that cop an attitude of superiority about what stuff they like or dislike. Snobbishness in general is obviously bad but this is probably the dumbest form of it. 

 
Women who hover when they pee, then don't wipe up.  

I actually have a coworker that does this at meetings, where we all use the same toilet and she's 100% sure the next person in the stall will be a colleague or higher up she reports to.

Or people who start a new thread intended as a personal message to only one other person. (Hello, send a PM)

Or people who start a thread for a fleeting thought or gripe intended for no one in particular. (Hello, make a status update)

We had one of these.  Thankfully he left at the beginning part of May.  I can't count the number of times I told him I didn't care.  He'd still try and engage me with it anyway.   So, yeah, i am with you on this being a huge pet peeve.  So much nicer now that he's gone.  (Place is still a crap hole to work, but at least that aspect is gone)

 
The entire month of July can basically suck eggs.
