Can we discuss pet peeves here? (7 Viewers)

[George Jefferson Airplane]

I have a parakeet now as my only pet. Thought it would just fly around and act like a wild animal but he goes to the bar with me and has developed a drinking problem.

 

[ChiefD]

Started what?

Never mind. I'm a moron. I clicked a link accidentally somewhere. Yeah. that guy deserves a throat punch.

WTF is a scooped bagel?

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

WTF is a scooped bagel?

You cut the bagel in half and scoop out the inside of each half so it has fewer calories

So it's just crusty? What kind of serial killer would do that?

Also, scoop your own bagel, dumba@@.

Or eat a pretzel.

Personally, I am not a scooper.

I haven’t heard of anyone scooping bagels

Scooping bread for a sandwich serves a purpose (allows for more sandwich ingredients. Scooping a bagel just seems stupid... especially if it's to "reduce calories"

Nope. You just pile more on. That stuff doesn't just slide off, you know.

This whole thread just read like a Seinfeld episode.

 

[urbanhack]

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.

My pet peeve: People who eat blueberry bagels

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

You are wrong.

Cinnamon raisin bagels are glorious especially with butter and creme cheese. I'll eat a donut when I want a ****ing donut!

When I use a big loaf of Italian bread for sandwiches like meatball or roast pork, I definitely scoop.

Why is it when someone has a garage sale, all parking rules are ignored? Double parking, blocking driveways, parking in the middle of the street, etc. when spaces are available for someone who can walk 50 feet.

Why is it when someone has a garage sale, all parking rules are ignored? Double parking, blocking driveways, parking in the middle of the street, etc. when spaces are available for someone who can walk 50 feet.

Because most people are super inconsiderate.

When my neighbors go out of town they have the same tool bag watch their dogs every time. He doesn't park in their driveway, (probably because the ole dually doesn't fit or leaks oil). He parks on the street directly in front of their driveway facing the wrong direction (into traffic). His girlfriend then parks on our side in front of our house.

So when we back out his truck is directly behind us and we can't get back far enough to then clear her car when we pull forward, so it adds an extra maneuver to us.

If Cletus would just park the correct way, we wouldn't have any issues. Because then his girlfriend would park behind him. But she won't park in front of him because then when they leave together and take his Cletus Cruiser, he wouldn't be able to just pull straight ahead to then turn around in the court.

My neighbor across the street has a dog sitter for when they are out of town. Instead of parking in the guest spot 200 feet away. He parks in front of their garage taking up half the lane. "Well im only gonna be here 30 minutes" but I CANT BACK OUT OF MY GARAGE WITHOUT PULLING A AUSTIN POWERS

Our across-the-street neighbor has a huge family and one of the dudes almost always parks in front of our house. 8 out of 10 times he does, about 1-2 feet of his truck bed blocks our driveway. It's not a HUGE deal, not something to rock the boat on, but ugh. What a turd.

I know that DMV bureaucracy is a total cliche at this point, but man is the Florida HSMV giving me the runaround!

Background: In February I got in a car accident that was totally my fault. I had the option of taking a driver's ed course in order to avoid getting points on my license, which I did, and finished by April. The online school said they would automatically submit the paperwork to the state, which they did, but apparently I was also supposed to print out the certificate of completion and mail it to the county clerk's office.

So last week I get a notice from HSMV that my license will be suspended as of Nov. 13 for failure to pay. Should be no problem to go on the website and submit my proof of completion, right? Nope, no way to do that. I can go on the website and pay the remaining fine ($18), but if I do that I'm pretty sure I'll get the points.

OK, so I'll call customer service and ask what to do. There's a state customer service number on the letter I got, as well as numbers for the county clerk's office. State number has a voicemail that says no one is available to take my call. Can't leave a message or request a callback or anything. Have called a bunch of times and never was able to get anyone. County clerk number directs me to call a different number. Call that, go through the various phone-tree mazes, and finally reach a page that tells me my license is suspended and I have to go deal with it in person. But then I realize if you wait through all the phone tree options, you can press zero to speak with an operator. So I do that, and am told no one is available to take my call and I can't leave a voicemail.

At this point, it seems my only option is to make an appointment with the clerk's office -- which I have, for this Thursday -- bring in all my paperwork and hope they will accept my proof of completion. What an enormous waste of my time and theirs!
