Pet Peeves
Klocknov:
well maybe if the dude wouldn't of hit me I would of been fine, but running over my heels with his cart then trying to pass me afterwards wasn't the best idea. If they just rush past me I normally could give a shit less, if they try to cut in front of me in line, well they better be quick to get out of the way of my cart if I have one, otherwise they wouldn't have the chance.
harpy:
oh, you just need to give all of them a grim look and they leaves you alone, dont work on these elderly people who are the first to push you in every other place, but in line they become so we so that they cant stand ads so on, but ignoring them and being in polite usually works for me
Klocknov:
I usually have the problems with the thirty year olds that think they are hot shit...

I think that about some people...except it's not a compliment...
DIGRESSING
Automatic tips in restaurants. Give me any semblance of service and you get 20%, but that's my choice. Everytime I've been in a restaurant that has automatic tips, I have gotten piss-poor service everytime while my/our waiter or waitress sits chatting with friends.
Ordering something, explaining several times that it is as an appetizer, and they bring it with the meal, saying "I put it in with the meal<" then get all pissy when you refuse the appetizer, because you intended to eat it BEFORE the meal, not WITH
Wait staff who pass by your table and even make eye contact, and come back only afer you've sat there for 20 minutes and give me that "I DIDN'T SEE YOU THERE." That's because I'm out the friggin door. Don't penalize me because your manager doesn't know how to manage sections.
If I ask for steak or tuna rare, and you give it to me dry as a bone and cooked to the consistency of leather (i.e., nothing that could be considered anything close to rare), especially fish, it's going back, I promise you. I have a friend who managed an Applebees in my old hometown and he has said there is no excuse for that.
Adult Swim after midnight. Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Robot Chicken are fine. "Tim and Eric's (watching paint dry would be more) Awesome Show" and "MetalCrapocalypse" suck big time. No wonder I watch TNT more; give me Stella and Montana (from CSI:NY) anyday over Tim & Eric. Hot female women rule.
I can explain about the diet soda with an otherwise-unhealthy dinner thing. I personally can not stand the taste of regular soda. Usually I eat pretty healthily, but once in a while I wouldn't mind some fried chicken or a 5-inch thick block of melted cheese (just kidding) and I'm not switching my soda choice accordingly. I think a lot of people probably see it, not as a balancer, but as not making things even worse, or, like me, people just can't stand regular soda.
Klocknov:
ASAFan, switch to Dr. Pepper, it tastes the same whether it is diet or normal. Though you have to worry about stupid people in restaurants not sticking enough or to much syrup in the mix even more here...
Adult Swim did go massively down hill, I think that was the major reason I really stopped paying attention to it.
And another, when you download music and it is improperly tagged. Hell I've gotten songs off of iTunes and Zune Market Place totally improperly tagged...
