The Little Things that P*** You Off

[eyeresist]

So it turns out that if I had ordered a drink, I would have ended up paying less money for more food. That's a sure way to lose a customer there. Especially for an non-chain restaurant that's competing with bigger places.

Don't understand this. The situation is identical at McDonald's. Your main complaint seems to be that you didn't see the sign; next time, see the sign.

[The Six]

My complaint isn't that I didn't see the sign, it's that the cashier didn't tell me about the special when she knew I was effectively ripping myself off.

The sign was nowhere close to eye level, by the way. Not that it really matters.

I don't like it when the combo is cheaper either... my solution is to order a water to complete the combo.

1.  Newscasts that focus more on the victims words of grief than on the event that caused the grief.
2.  Weather news that constantly focuses on what to call the wind that blew everything away.   A tornado? straight line wind?  micro burst?  I am more interested in the number of fatalities, injuries, destroyed home/businesses, damaged area size, etc.
3.  Flood reports that stress how many feet above flood stage instead of describing the size of the area affected, number of homes inundated, number of people evacuated, etc. 
4.  Politicians who refuse to acknowledge or tackle the debt problem in the US.
5.  Politicians who accept money from lobbyists.
6.  Politicians.

"So - your entire family was killed in front of you. How does that make you FEEL?"

So-called "journalists".

I've found another thing to piss me off... releasing exclusively on a format that died years ago, this would be like having a new movie come out today on hd-dvd:

SACD, and not even hybrid!?  What!?!?!

SACD is not quite dead yet.  It was not a commercial success but you can still buy new SACD releases and players with no difficulty.  The claim that it is not a hybrid appears to be a listing error.  On amazon.co.uk the same recording is listed as an SACD hybrid. 

[DavidW]

Well if it's just a listing error... then I take it back.  But it raises another complaint: listing errors!

People who whine fucking irritate me.

I hope you make a distinction between whining and bitching - bitching is super fun.

Absolutely! Without bitching, the world as we know it would cease to exist!

Coming home from the library with a pile of books.

The subtle pressure of the pile demanding to be read in a timely fashion demotivates me from even trying to begin.

I know that feeling, that's why (especially since my library is nearby) I only checkout two books at a time.

Driving 5 hours to celebrate someone in another town's birthday, and once there they all want to go out to a movie. Half of us just drove across the state to a new city, and we're going to see a movie that we could see in any theater?

That is absolutely retarded.  What kind of celebration is that??  Hell what kind of reunion is that??

[eyeresist]

Well, it makes as much sense as going to a movie for a date. You might as well watch a DVD at home and turn up later.

When mp3 downloads don't include liner notes as a pdf... if you want to upgrade from little, consider that case for an opera!
