Can we discuss pet peeves here? (26 Viewers)

Way back when I was in college, there was a laundromat with a bar. "Duds and Suds". It made so much sense.

I want to own a laundromat or 5...

Perfect business to launder money.

I thought that was a strip club called Lickety Splitz

I'm being "forced" to purchase and expense a very expensive piece of equipment that I'll likely never use. Would be nice if they'd just give me the cash instead.

A few years ago we had to purchase a large format printer for $40k. We argued that we don’t print anything in large format, but had to anyway. It was shipped to the wrong department, one that does print large format. We argued that they should keep it, leadership agreed and ordered us another one.

To date we have run the quarterly test prints and nothing else. It just takes up space.

It's amazing how the grocery store is such a source of pet peeves. I absolutely hate it. If anyone has a pet peeve of people who rush through the store running people over with their carts, sorry that's me. I like to get in and out as fast as possible.

I think it's more about the idiots blocking the aisles and checkouts.

It gets worse. Around here they have bars in most grocery stores now. So not only do you have to deal with regular morons, but now you've got the drunk ones milling about, chasing tail, like they're at studio 64 or whatever.

Where the heck are you that has a bar in a grocery store? Why would anyone find that necessary? Bet the store employees are just thrilled.

I’m in Dallas, first time I saw this phenomenon was this summer in Boise, Idaho. I think everyone in Boise is a heavy drinker with the volume of breweries we saw and just beer everywhere you went.

Your perception is skewed because you live in a giant, flat parking lot with no character, culture or charm. You can stand on a beer can in Dallas and see Houston. Do you know why you saw people drinking beer in Boise? It's because they are happy and want to celebrate not living in a concrete zoo like Dallas. Oh, folks drink in Dallas, but they drink swill....Coors Light and Miller Lite and they do it in secret because the fake religious masses that populate the megalopolis will shame you for doing so in public, so beer consumption is hidden at home or strip-mall restaurants that have bar areas. Nobody is happy in Dallas, that's why you don't see folks in stores having a good time. They're miserable.

It's a city preoccupied with money and other people's money and pretending you have money unlike any place I've ever lived. It's why Jerry Jones and Mark Cuban live on pedestals there.

To be fair, you had an opinion on a small thing (Boise) which I countered with an opinion about a big thing (Dallas). Insinuating that everybody in Boise is a heavy drinker is just a little insulting, n'est ce pas?

[psychobillies]

-My 2nd entry and new one...OK you remember during the pandemic we started to distance ourselves in line, I liked that a lot and I know it irked people as much as the mask but I liked having my own space. No sooner than I get the groceries on the little conveyor belt, some guy behind me wants to grab one of those yellow plastic separators and there is no room on the belt for his stuff but he wants to get that up there as quick as possible...let me tell you what I did, I bet you can guess. I took the yellow divider and slid it back where it came from and turned to this guy and said "Hey Buddy, you see that person in front of me that hasn't paid yet, I can't speed them along and I would appreciate it if you would BACK OFF!" and I might not have been using my inside voice very well at that moment. The man wanted to say something but I intercepted that with a simple "ZIP IT or go to another check out" and then I put my hands on the front of his cart and backed it up a bit since it was almost touching me from behind...not to mention they've installed self checkouts if he was in that big of a hurry...i promise you this man pees all over the toilet seat and doesn't clean up when he's out and about...I promise you he just takes off when he could allow a pedestrian to cross in front of him..I have a whole profile that shows the cross over of different pet peeves perpetrated by the same individuals.

If someone in a grocery store grabs my cart for any reason and shoves it back towards me, we're going to have a serious problem.

Well of course but I doubt you reach over the person in front of you which is what he did and grab the yellow divider even though there isn't an inch of space on the conveyor belt.
Simultaneously pushing his cart up against me as there is no place for me to go with someone still at the check out register, I can't speed that up

-Let me be clear here, I don't go around looking for trouble like some might think it seems to find me at odd moments. And if you think that's the first time that guy pulled that little stunt...I listed all the other things he likely does

And I didn't shove the cart into him and push it back 3 feet, I just pushed it back a little because he was invading my space, I didn't have a foot between e and his cart that kept getting closer.

-I had another cart incident with a lady who was in a BUG HURRY and I was actually trying to get out of her way and she still hit me with the cart, and I had a few choice words for her on her way up to a checkout 2-3 deep, what's the hurry?

I hear you, and you're correct that I'd never do that. I try to respect other's space in public, but realize when I go out that some people just won't, and don't care. At most, I'll shake my head at them, and move on feeling a little superior to them. You gotta be careful these days though, people get shot for less.

No insult intended but the population of and tourism to Boise appear to support a lot of breweries and grocery stores with bars in them. While other populations may not consume enough to support grocery stores with bars in them. I’m not the only one surprised to see a full bar in a grocery store.

No, but you're the only person to accuse Boise of being a city of heavy drinkers based on your observation of having beer available for consumption in stores.

My theory on this is that when people say X or type out X by itself it triggers something inside everyone that they are referring to porn and they instinctually need to defend it. No, no, no, I'm not saying go look at a porn site, I'm saying it's what they call Twitter now!!!

My theory on this is that when people say X or type out X by itself it triggers something inside everyone that they are referring to porn and they instinctually need to defend it. No, no, no, I'm not saying go look at a porn site, I'm saying it's what they call Twitter now!!!

Well then maybe the genius Elon can have his site associated with porn then since it seems the way it's gone.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Just got back from NYC. Full bars and restaurants in some grocery stores.

It's amazing how the grocery store is such a source of pet peeves. I absolutely hate it. If anyone has a pet peeve of people who rush through the store running people over with their carts, sorry that's me. I like to get in and out as fast as possible.

I think it's more about the idiots blocking the aisles and checkouts.

It gets worse. Around here they have bars in most grocery stores now. So not only do you have to deal with regular morons, but now you've got the drunk ones milling about, chasing tail, like they're at studio 64 or whatever.

Where the heck are you that has a bar in a grocery store? Why would anyone find that necessary? Bet the store employees are just thrilled.

I’m in Dallas, first time I saw this phenomenon was this summer in Boise, Idaho. I think everyone in Boise is a heavy drinker with the volume of breweries we saw and just beer everywhere you went.

Your perception is skewed because you live in a giant, flat parking lot with no character, culture or charm. You can stand on a beer can in Dallas and see Houston. Do you know why you saw people drinking beer in Boise? It's because they are happy and want to celebrate not living in a concrete zoo like Dallas. Oh, folks drink in Dallas, but they drink swill....Coors Light and Miller Lite and they do it in secret because the fake religious masses that populate the megalopolis will shame you for doing so in public, so beer consumption is hidden at home or strip-mall restaurants that have bar areas. Nobody is happy in Dallas, that's why you don't see folks in stores having a good time. They're miserable.

Ok

I'm just messing with you. Dallas born and raised. But I'd rather live in Boise, ID with one leg than spend another year in Dallas.

No worries, folks in this thread has strong opinions on small things

To be fair, you had an opinion on a small thing (Boise) which I countered with an opinion about a big thing (Dallas). Insinuating that everybody in Boise is a heavy drinker is just a little insulting, n'est ce pas?

I don’t think so. What’s wrong with being a heavy drinker? And ”just messing” or not, your response was comically disproportional.*

*Cue GM screed on Houston - Lord knows there is enough material.

Houston's great!

Here we go!...

-Go to lunch at PA BBQ, kind of a small chain down here in South Florida, they wouldn't make it more than a week in any other State in the Union
I go in and they do have a nice BIG bar area and it's just one of me, didn't want to take up an entire booth or table, find that to be a little rude when most of them are already being used so I just hop up to the bar, NOBODY and I mean NOBODY there and like 20 seats going all the way around "U-Shape"

It's lunch time so there are going to be more folks coming in and out and I expected the bar to get a few customers, I position myself near the taps and leave a ton of open seats for folks to plop down in...fellow comes in and wants to squeeze next to me and I'm like you gotta be kidding

I said "Sir, there are 20 seats here 18 of them to my left, can you not give me a little space, please?"
-Idiot: "I can sit anywhere I want"...
MoP: "That's what YOU think" and I can spill beers on you as well, you're choice
-Idiot: (undeciphered gibberish with F-Bombs)
Bartender to the Rescue..."Bill c'mon, let me get you set up in the same seat on the other side and you can watch all the TVs, Olympics"
MoP: "Oh he's a regular..." with a huge eye roll that made the bartender laugh

I bought him a beer quietly and told the bartender to put it on my tab...$4 whopper of a penalty, asked her not to tell him until after I clear out, knew he staying longer than I would be
Manager comes out and apologizes, I said there's no need. He said the bartender told him what I did even though i was getting F-Bombed, he handed me a gift cert to come back for a free lunch, i said there's really no need for this, I'm OK. He says I know you're kind and giving with my staff, that means a lot to me.
I took his generosity and usually I do not.

All this goes back to personal space like the other day in the grocery store...what is wrong with people?

Were there no open two-seat tables? Seems like a better choice for someone who wants to dine with some extra space.

I mean, I avoid them like the plague, but aren’t bars places some people go to socialize?

I understand, I still would skip a seat with the whole bar open and there really aren't 2 person booths, they hold like 6, maybe 4 large people.

I read that as Pennsylvania Barbecue, and had no clue why that would be a name of any restaurant, let alone in Florida.

The PA stands for "Park Avenue" and I can't think of a more off BBQ name than linking it to like NYC which is what i think of with Park Avenue
Is NYC BBQ a thing?

There are BBQ places in NYC, but they’re not going to be mistaken for Kansas City.

A NYC-based FF league I belonged to long ago would have its offseason meetings at a place called Blue Smoke.
