Agree, and add: driving in the left lane, even if you have a "performance truck". We don't need these behemoths barreling down the highway at 90 mph.
idk man, I don't feel like I'm being a toddler if I don't like something. For example, everyone in my family likes fish/other seafood except me (and the kids). Yeah, there have been plenty of times I've declined to go so on the times I have gone and they are eating something that I dislike then they know to accommodate me or for me to bring something I can eat. We all have diffrent tastes and I don't think one is necessarily being rude if they dislike a certain food or if someone is just a bad cook.About 3 years ago we started hosting all the big holiday meals at our house, as my MIL retired from being the host/cook as she's getting older. But she insists on cooking a separate meal for my 42 yr old BIL who's a picky eater. So every holiday goes one of two ways:
And the kicker to it all is that my BIL will actually eat about half the stuff we make - he's picky about vegetables but he's perfectly fine with the turkey and mashed potatoes/gravy or mac & cheese we already have. But he won't tell his mom that, it's like he enjoys being babied and being treated to a ribeye and baked potato EVERY. FRIGGIN. HOLIDAY.
- She stays at her house (20 min away) to cook it, but she wants it to be served hot so she calls 17 times throughout the day asking if we're on track for eating at xx
x time, so she can time it right. Then every time she fails to allow for travel time, so she arrives half an hour later than the agreed upon meal time, so he gets his hot and ours is getting cold because God forbid anyone start eating before she gets there.
- She comes over early and insists on using our stovetop and oven to cook this one little separate meal just for him, in the midst of my wife trying to cook/warm up everything else for the other 8 people.
Completely untrue. I always put it in the right way the first time, but when it doesn't seem to fit, I switch it to the wrong way, realize that's not it, and then go back to the right way
Was? Is it gone? Shish on Grand Ave in St. paul is some good stuff. Not sure if it is Greek or just Mediterranean though.
That's not what makes him a toddler. He can eat what's there, but doesn't bother to tell his mommy not to make something "special" for him. Sounds like a colassal jerk to me.idk man, I don't feel like I'm being a toddler if I don't like something. For example, everyone in my family likes fish/other seafood except me (and the kids).

Infuriating. My MIL used to pull that thing where she'd bring something to cook, or even for me to cook, but we eventually made it clear that the latter wasn't going to happen and if the former, we weren't waiting to eat when what we were serving was ready. So she moved to things she could just quickly warm up in the microwave or something.About 3 years ago we started hosting all the big holiday meals at our house, as my MIL retired from being the host/cook as she's getting older.

You're not being a toddler just because you don't like something. But if you don't like fish or chicken or most vegetables or pork unless it's fried cutlets or steak unless it's cooked just right (read: way overcooked) or basically anything with even a little bit of spice and you're not willing to even try things you're not familiar with, then yeah, you're a toddler when it comes to food.idk man, I don't feel like I'm being a toddler if I don't like something.

I would also eat when things are ready and not wait on her. She can deal.
Well, the toaster comes with a manual...
First world probs

Isn't that this entire thread?
Well, except for the "no running water in my village" one...
I just turn off any notifications and have the map up on the screen
Right, but it's a bit of a stretch to call that a "pet peeve"
I find the sound to be really helpful for refocusing to ensure I don't miss a turn. Especially when it's a long drive like I had last week, where I'm supposed to stay on I-75 for the next 200 miles. Very easy to get lulled into driving on the same road forever and forgetting that the exit is coming up
This doesn't sound right to me, or I should say it seems if this was a default setting one could not change there would be some angry tech blog post about it
Ah, it's actually in Falcon Hts., Dino's. Snelling/Larpenteur.

are your in-laws Sicilian? BIL is the first born son??
you don't need to go into store to activate. You can do it all via app and or phone. They might even send you instructions with it
I know, but last time we tried to activate a phone that they shipped to us, we ran into all sorts of issues so I had to bring it to the Verizon store. There's one right by my Mom's house (where the phone's being shipped as we're on family plan), so might as well avoid any potential issues.
To you maybe... Mr. First World...
Agree with the shipping part etc..... was just "helping" that you didnt have to go to a store. The last 5 phones I've activated at home. I had to dial *611 twice I think to get things fixed correctly
Even for EVs?
Twas a joke. EVs can't make it through the traffic circle if there's no power to charge them.
I just bought a new car a few months ago, and it will display directions on the driver's console just above the guages. Game changer. Now I can just turn off the voice completely and not feel like I'm missing anything when I'm using GPS.
That sounds perfect to me, I've always been annoyed by the talking voices in cars, they interfere with the voices in my head.
My dad has that. I've driven his car and I agree that it makes a big difference to avoid even that slight head turn toward the center of the console.

You want a first-world problem? I've got one for ya ...
And I also don't need that voice telling me a door is a jar. They may both open and close, but that doesn't make them the same.
i get it. my wife's brother is treated like a child god. everything in their family revolves around his whim.First born son, yes.

Probably NSFW to pull up Bill Hick's treatment of this topic.
Sorry. I'm a little dozy today.
That's what a link is for.
I have self-imposed boundaries at work.
Just one more reason USB-C is a miracle leap forward.
Here you go. This isn't his funniest bit, but like everything else he did, it stuck with me.
