Yes, and on top of that the front items are exposed to room temperature a lot during the course of the day. Another reason to grab one from the back.

When at the party store buying one or two things..and the person in front of you has $1000 in lottery tickets he wants to buy...and there is only one checkout person.
Dude..You're not gonna win. Give it up.

I have to help the checkout person figure out how to generate lottery tickets for the FFA Lotto Club pretty much every time. They don't hire the bright ones...

Start reading Great Expectations out loud at them. Or respond to the telephone conversation. Or comment a lot at the movie. Play The Ramones at top volume.

This should go in the @mr. furley thread....
My wife does this all the time. I asked if she ordered daughters contacts. She says no, you can do it. Our insurance is through my wife's work. She says something like it should be this amount. I call order contacts. Text the wife it's done. She calls says that's the wrong amount, it should be this, they never used the insurance that way before blah blah blah. She says let me check some stuff.... I just say they already ordered if you need to change something you can call like you should have the first time. Then she's mad at me for being annoyed with her because this same thing happens all the time because she wants me to call for something she should or has the information for.....

Car Market going forward
Why would I buy a $30k Chevy when I can buy a fully loaded Honda Accord for that? What Chevy are you referring to? Any of them but I was talking bout the Chevy Bolt It's closer to 20k after rebates. It's also a full electric. I spend around $200 in gas a month and have free charging stations...

That’s what is sold to restaurants. Blue is the only other common color.

Right..:but non restaurant people posting their videos wearing the black (always)…seems more a choice to try and look more official chefy than they really are.

Go buy some gloves. Tell me what colors you find.

Footballguy
Blue. Target…Walmart. Blue. Amazon can find both but see more blue (and blue typically cheaper)
Seems poserish to me…just my rant and opinion. As it’s almost always followed by seeing the knife scrape showing a seared crust and the finger over slice.

For anyone wanting black gloves, go to Home Depot. I buy them monthly (chemistry-related job, I wear 3-4 pairs daily) and they always have black and blue in stock.

To use a bit of Reddit jargon - I ask you fellow peevers, AITA here?
Typical situation: We're at a restaurant - everyone is done eating, we're waiting on the check. Server comes over and asks how everything was, do we want dessert, or are we ready for the check? Check please. Server comes back 5+ minutes later, drops off the check, and disappears. 10 minutes it feels like before they return to pick up the check with my card and go run it, then they bring it back and I sign and we leave.
So now, when we're done and I'm ready for the check, I pull my card out of my wallet and sit with it in my hand on the table. I figure I can save 10-15 minutes of time - it signals that I want the check so no need to come ask, and no more dropping off the check and disappearing again. My wife hates that I do this and thinks it's rude to the server, implying to them that I think they're being slow.

you don't know the half of it
had a similar situation recently whereby "what do you want for dinner... i'm not hungry" turned in to her asking me to call for Chinese.. spending 30 minutes deciding VERY SPECIFICALLY what she wanted... writing it down and having me read specifically to the order taker what she wanted.
then when the order came they got it like 95% correct. which was my fault. not that 95% isn't good enough, it's just not right and what's the point of having me order the food if i'm not even going to do it right.

General Malaise

Restaurant manager to me on my first day on the floor: "You make or break your tip by how quickly you close out a tab". In other words, when people are ready to go, they are ready to go. Value their time and your tips will be fine. NTA. A server needs to close out your check efficiently.

I used to wait tables....I would just figure you were in a hurry. It's why I still wish you would pay up front but I know that would screw me in tips inadvertently

me: "awesome, let me get the hammer..."
her: "get the right hammer. not the new hammer. get the old hammer. that one has a better grip and it's not as heavy. it will be easier to swing."
me: "uhh, ok"
her: "and you can't just swing it like you're trying to break the thing. swing it just hard enough to pound the nails in. like don't break it. don't make a mess if you're going to insist on finishing this right now. i don't want to have to clean it up."
me: "eh?"
her: "if you're going to break the thing because you use the wrong hammer and smash it in to a thousand pieces then i'll have to clean it up and i might as well finish the project when i have time instead."
me: ".. there are 4 nails. i just need to hammer 4 nails."
her: "right. and you are going to do something dumb like throw the hammer through a window and then we have to replace the window. and what if we can't get someone here to replace he window in time? it's winter outside and we already pay enough for heat. and one of the cats will try to jump out the window or one of the kids will fall in to it and cut themselves. just leave it alone. i'll finish hammering the nails later. god."
me: ".............. what? ok."
her: "because you're being a jerk about it. just leave it. i'll finish it when i have time."

This is another area where Europe has figured this out, but we haven't. Over there most if not all restaurants have the waiters carry around those portable credit card readers so you can settle the bill at the same time as the check arrives. It's so much faster and safer because your credit card doesn't disappear for 10 minutes.

Some places do that here. Some chains you can just pay at the table on their little app thing

Similar but different…
Closest dim sum restaurant is about 30 min north of me. When I am in the area. I will order to go.
They take my order. I want to settle so I can just take off when it’s ready.
They insist upon bringing out the food then ringing me up… they obviously sometimes get distracted with waiting on tables or taking other to go orders.

i also cry when looking at all the never started, half finished, nearly finished projects that either ground to a screeching halt or got done, then undone to be re-done "the right way".
sitting on a dresser set right now that just needs to be painted because someone stripped it down to raw wood a couple years ago, then left it in the garage until moving in inside last spring only to block access to half a room. it's for my kid. poor kid (a freshman) will be out of the house before a paint brush touches that dresser.
"just paint it, bro" you might say. but i don't want to literally catch a hatchet in the back of the head so that the dresser can be painted in my blood.

My daughter has two avocado stuffed animals. She had one named eva. Recently got another one. Both gifts. I have no idea what name the newer one is.
I learned the other day that the reason she named the avocado eva is because that is her teachers first name. I thought that was cute.
I told my wife. She asked me several questions wanting more detail. What did she name the new one? Did she always name her eva after her teacher or did she learn later that her teacher's name was eva? Why did she tell you this? How did it come up? Did she tell her teacher? Which one does she like better?...
Literally everything I tell my wife these days has a long list of follow up questions that to me seem pretty pointless
Not sure if she has always been this way and I was more tolerant of it when I didn't have a messed up leg and a temporary living situation and an insurance company that is making our lives miserable, but Jesus Christ.
Don't even get me started on when she asked me what a hook and hold was.
I am guessing this is why so many husbands start answering "I don't know" as a pavlovian response.
