The father-son duo from Jersey Shore or wherever hocking Gillette razors need to disappear. Don't know that I've seen a more annoying series of commercials.

sooooooo......my wife wanted me to post his here.

she's tired of the employees of various stores, parking in the very front rows of their parking lots. think the grocery store, kohls, cvs, any strip mall type place. she was so fed up that she called a store where she knew the car, in the first spot, closest to the store, belonged to the woman who works their every day. she let the manager know. the manager DID. NOT. CARE. made my wife even more incensed.

Specific to this and other football forums: People who refer to James and Dalvin Cook as "Cooks" and/or refer to Brandin Cooks as "Cook".

That can't be as bad as "Joe Burrows".

that's Joe Burreaux to you!

That's absolutely correct. Joe Burreauxs would also be unacceptable.

Joe Boroughs down?

You are correct. Maybe this can help.

This seems to have done the trick for me- thank you!

The insurance “replay” commercial with the sunroof bugs me because the outcome is clearly wrong.

The wife, in the driver’s seat, blames the husband for leaving the sunroof open, and the “replay” confirms that the husband opened it.

Doesn’t matter who opened it. If you’re the driver, that’s always 100% your fault, lady.

Our car lets us know if the sunroof is still open when we turn it off.

There's a little deli downtown where we live, fantastic food and very popular lunchtime place. There's a tiny parking lot (if you can call it that) that holds 4 vehicles, otherwise you have to find street parking and may have to walk a couple of blocks. There's one early 20's girl that works the counter taking orders, and my wife commented one day that whoever drives the red car must be super lucky to always manage to get one of the 4 spots everytime we come. The girl was very chipper in her "oh that's mine" response, and now my wife refuses to eat there because the owner obviously doesn't care about their customers since they condone this.

Found a new local bagel place I didn't know about yet.

I order three bagels. I say right away I want three bagels, not sliced, not toasted, one blueberry, one sesame, and one everything.

Cashier just looks at me. So I repeat one blueberry, one everything, and one sesame bagel.

Stares at me and asks how many other bagels do I want. None. Just three.

Oh ok, repeats back, one...one... Waiting for me to complete. I say one blueberry.

"What else"

One sesame.

"What else"

One everything.

"What else"

That's it. All untoasted, unsliced. Just three bagels in a bag.

I pay. Get my receipt. Now most bagel places would just mediately get my order for me since it is fast. It's like at Starbucks when you order a pastry they can quick grab and give to you. No reason to fill up the queue.

But no. Here I have to wait. And wait. And wait. Finally I speak up. Woman takes my ticket. Goes to front grabs bagels hands me the bag. I walk out and think wow these bagels are dense. So I look in the bag and I now have 4 everything bagels.

Whole reason for stopping was to get my daughter a blueberry bagel. So I go back in. Tell a different worker that speaks English what happened. He takes my bag, calls over the same worker that already messed it up and she goes back to the bins. She puts the everything bagels back in the bin!!! Then grabs me a plain, an oat, and a blueberry.

I took the oat and the plain set it on the counter and left.

Needless to say, never going there again.

Small mom and pop place - No ample parking for worker and the only worker - they shouldn't have to street park if they are working a 6-8 hour shift. (is the street free? )

Strip mall/target where its multiple employees, larger number of employees they should park away from the store.

Street parking is free here, as long as you can parallel park. And there's no other businesses (to compete with for street parking) for at least a full block in either direction. I don't think I've ever had to walk more than 50-60 yards from where I parked to the deli. Most of their traffic comes from the various lawyer offices and the courthouse which is 3-4 blocks away, they just walk to it.

I still eat there all the time, just with coworkers instead.

Anyone else have this problem recently: We buy milk (generally a half gallon), keep it in the fridge the entire time, and it ends up going bad a week or more before the date on the carton? This happened twice at Publix in the last couple months, and then just happened again today with a carton from Whole Foods (exp 10/31). I told my wife we may have to start buying the Horizon ultra-pasteurized stuff that has an expiration date in like 2027 just to ensure it doesn't keep happening. (On the other hand, as long as you're willing to go back to the store before the expiration date, you can basically get 2/3 of a carton of free milk.)

I asked my wife, who used to work in the grocery business, what she thinks is happening, and she said the stores don't do a good job of storing the milk before it goes out on the refrigerated shelf, which speeds up the expiration date. Still, I can never remember this happening in the past, and all of a sudden it's been three times in as many months

Fridge starting to go out? Did the temp get accidentally changed? I would bump the temp down a degree or two and see if that helps.

Yes, it drives me nuts.

 

[Rustoleum]

I only use milk when a recipe calls for it, so I’ve been buying the pints of the ultrapasteruized stuff so less goes to waste.

Edit: and by “recipe” I really mean when my son makes a box of mac and cheese, lol.

I'm just impressed if she doesn't complain if the everything bagel is in the same bag as her blueberry one. Those everythings have a way of stinking up the other bagels in a bag and should be kept separate IMHO.

Was extra loaded with everything stuff too since she threw 4 in there and then removed them. Asking them to separate would have taken all day.

Reminds me of when I ate ay a Mexican restaurant once and saw the waitress dumping the uneaten chips from tables back into the bin. Never returned.

sooooooo......my wife wanted me to post his here.

she's tired of the employees of various stores, parking in the very front rows of their parking lots. think the grocery store, kohls, cvs, any strip mall type place. she was so fed up that she called a store where she knew the car, in the first spot, closest to the store, belonged to the woman who works their every day. she let the manager know. the manager DID. NOT. CARE. made my wife even more incensed.

Meh, if you aren’t disabled, first come, first served.

And really, how much effort is it to walk across a parking lot?

To be fair, I intentionally park at the first available spot, no matter how far away, to avoid waiting/jockeying for spaces. I always tell my wife it’s free exercise.

My wife doesn’t want the closest spot. She just feels that it’s wrong that the employees are parking in those spots. we always park away from th store. It’s usually quicker and Easier.

She should thank them, as they’re forcing people who’d otherwise park close to experience life from the far spots.

Also, it’s arguably safer for employees who work very early or late, to minimize the distance they’ll walk in a (presumably) dark, deserted lot.

I pay. Get my receipt. Now most bagel places would just mediately get my order for me since it is fast. It's like at Starbucks when you order a pastry they can quick grab and give to you. No reason to fill up the queue.

But no. Here I have to wait. And wait. And wait. Finally I speak up. Woman takes my ticket. Goes to front grabs bagels hands me the bag. I walk out and think wow these bagels are dense. So I look in the bag and I now have 4 everything bagels.

Whole reason for stopping was to get my daughter a blueberry bagel. So I go back in. Tell a different worker that speaks English what happened. He takes my bag, calls over the same worker that already messed it up and she goes back to the bins. She puts the everything bagels back in the bin!!! Then grabs me a plain, an oat, and a blueberry.

I took the oat and the plain set it on the counter and left.

Needless to say, never going there again.

My pet peeve: People who eat blueberry bagels

I agree, also cinnamon raisin. If you want sweet, get a donut.

She is 6. How about you both go eat some ****?

So what you're saying is I should be reporting you to Child Protective Services?

To be fair, my choice of bagel (usually some kind of whole grain or oat bran) would probably make my Jewish ancestors plotz

Found a new local bagel place I didn't know about yet.

I order three bagels. I say right away I want three bagels, not sliced, not toasted, one blueberry, one sesame, and one everything.

Cashier just looks at me. So I repeat one blueberry, one everything, and one sesame bagel.

Stares at me and asks how many other bagels do I want. None. Just three.

Oh ok, repeats back, one...one... Waiting for me to complete. I say one blueberry.

"What else"

One sesame.

"What else"

One everything.

I'm just impressed if she doesn't complain if the everything bagel is in the same bag as her blueberry one. Those everythings have a way of stinking up the other bagels in a bag and should be kept separate IMHO.

Was extra loaded with everything stuff too since she threw 4 in there and then removed them. Asking them to separate would have taken all day.

Reminds me of when I ate ay a Mexican restaurant once and saw the waitress dumping the uneaten chips from tables back into the bin. Never returned.

In college, a local bar had $0.50 pizza slices/$0.15 wings every Thursday. I heard they used to do the same thing with uneaten wings. Of course that was probably the 237th most disgusting thing I ever ate as a college student

sooooooo......my wife wanted me to post his here.

she's tired of the employees of various stores, parking in the very front rows of their parking lots. think the grocery store, kohls, cvs, any strip mall type place. she was so fed up that she called a store where she knew the car, in the first spot, closest to the store, belonged to the woman who works their every day. she let the manager know. the manager DID. NOT. CARE. made my wife even more incensed.

Meh, if you aren’t disabled, first come, first served.

And really, how much effort is it to walk across a parking lot?

To be fair, I intentionally park at the first available spot, no matter how far away, to avoid waiting/jockeying for spaces. I always tell my wife it’s free exercise.

My wife doesn’t want the closest spot. She just feels that it’s wrong that the employees are parking in those spots. we always park away from th store. It’s usually quicker and Easier.

So what happens if the employees take the spots she typically uses?

that’s not the issue. She just thinks it’s wrong for the employees to take the closest spots.

She should thank them, as they’re forcing people who’d otherwise park close to experience life from the far spots.

Also, it’s arguably safer for employees who work very early or late, to minimize the distance they’ll walk in a (presumably) dark, deserted lot.

We’re talking about the white bread heart of south Orange County. Rhyleigh is pretty safe working her 11am-7pm shift at the boba shop or whatever.

You say I'm wrong but then offer up a bagel from Panera bread as proof. I rest my case.

A lot of those people modify their vehicles to sound that way. I imagine they'll find a way with the e-versions as well.

A little computer disc amped and cued up to the throttle, playing fake exhaust sounds. What a wonderful era we are living in.

Reminds me of the time the guy in front of me at Starbucks asked if their tea was “exactly 141 degrees Fahrenheit”.

I go to the office a couple of days a week. About 10 years ago my company rebuilt the break room and it's pretty sweet. New floor, cabinets, tables, chairs, granite counter tops, microwaves, filtered water, filtered ice machine, etc. I don't eat there but I go there for coffee and clean out my thermos / thermal coffee mug. People bring their lunches, dishes from home and they toss their dirty dishes in the sink and leave them there all day. And, of course, they leave their food filled dishes in the side of the sink without the disposal. On a scale of 1 to 10, I find that to be level 10 annoying. Why in the world can't people just wash their dishes when they're done eating and take them home? They, quite literally, leave their dishes for either the cleaning crew to clean or someone else to wash their dishes for them.

Having said all of that. . . I have to confess that the goofball wandering around looking for a "scooped, gluten free bagel" is an 11 on my annoying scale.

I could see a "workplace incident" happening at that place sometime soon.

There's a article in the Athletic about the guy who started that. He's just a 72 year old guy who made it. Pretty neat story actually.

Started what?
