Pet Peeves

[Stegral]

Car drivers that talk on the phone while driving WITHOUT HAND FREE HEADSETS ON!!!!

most cell phones COME with the freaking hands free !!!!USE THE DAMN THING!!!!

I freaking well do & the one I have looks like a receptionists headset due to the background noise of the truck I drive.

it isn't the same as talking to a passenger if you are HOLDING the damn thing,trying to stay alert & look about as you change lanes, merge or sit at that light (& not realize it is green till someone honks).

Most of my contacts KNOW not to call me till after 6PM during the week as I am at work, driving something in traffic that weighs in at well over 30,000 pounds & I need to focous on all the idiots to avoid the screw ups they do but don't really give 2 shits about because they are more important...

If you don't have a hands free DON"T CALL OR ANSWER THE DAMN THING

we survived for lots of years before cells were invented...
one day you will cut the wrong person off & maybe they won't see you either because THEY were chattering away on the damn thing...

Stegral, you're in very company...

Here's one: waiters who ask me if I'm absolutely sure that I want my steak blue. Yes I do and yes, I know what it means, so stop asking! In fact, as long as the cow isn't mooing I'm happy. Just give me a bloody steak, damn it!

HEY!

I resemble that...

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Stegral...

Geez, I hate those morons... Pull the fuck over if you *must* use your cell in the car...

As a chef, I completely agree... If the customer asks for it blue, or black and blue, then they damned well know what they're asking for... And again as a chef, and as a carnivore, I am SO happy when someone orders like this - they don't ask me to ruin a lovely cut of meat by turning it into a charred hockey puck...

 

[daddysbadgrl728]

people who let thier kids scream and cry in the library. come on folks, take them outside its not that long of a walk right?

ppl who hover over you at store checkout lines, damn if i wanted someone up my ass i'd go home and bend over.

order takers in drive thru not understanding why i dont want cheese on a burger. its like i ordered a gold dusted burger or something.

my number one pet peeve today (no offense to you smaller ladies) the lack of formal apparel ready in plus sizes. my god im trying to find a dress for a ball, and im told im sorry we only have it in a 12!!!

Oh, that's good to hear!! So, could you please cook me a steak in a way that is meant to be eaten and enjoyed - a steak that just stopped mooing? Without asking are you sure?

[TeeTee]

Even though she backed out two weeks ago I'm still quite annoyed. When you make plans with someone......follow thru or don't make the plans just say No!

Comin' right up...

What's your favorite cut??

 

[daddysbadgrl728]

hey BW can you throw on a thick cut rib eye for me please?????

 

[DDgirl]

People who think that perfume/cologne is an equitable substitute for washing their asses!

People who wear too much perfume/cologne. You're not supposed to bathe in it!

I couldn't agree more with this. I AM severely allergic to perfume but am also allergic to allergy medication, so when someone comes near me wearing a lot (or really strong) perfume and my throat starts to close up, there's not much I can take for it.

 

[fire_breeze]

Comin' right up...

Ah, thank you!

Either rib eye or T-bone. I really couldn't care less at the moment, just as long as it's thick and raw!

Hel-lo! Now, that is sexy... and a sight for sore eyes... thank you thank you thank you!

And to such an incredibly sweet chef who didn't ask 'are you sure':

Sweetie...

Like I said...

It breaks my heart when someone tells me that I have to ruin a beautiful piece of steak by cooking it well done... ~~SHUDDER~~

It absolutely ruins it...

I honestly do this... When I'm cutting beef, I slice off pieces of it, and eat it raw... When I cook it, for myself, I put it over high heat on a char-broiler... I count to 15, turn it over, count to 15, and it is DONE... In other words, sear the outside, leave the inside raw... The ONLY way to eat it... I appreciate customers like you, believe me...

Ah, so glad that I didn't have to break your heart you have at least one very appreciative customer
And I'm so relieved that I'm not the only one who eats beef raw while cooking!

I've been told I'm living dangerously because I also eat raw hamburger...

Hasn't made me sick yet, so screw it!!

You want to know one of my personal philosophies? We all need at least one vice - and make one of them dangerous.

Driving Pet Peeves: (aka cars you ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT get behind if you are in a hurry):

Buick (driven almost exclusively by very old people who don't have anywhere to go anyway)
Nearly all Lincolns (see Buick)
Volvos (they're driving a safe car -- and they want to show it by patiently obeying every speed law, following distance rules and are amazingly cautious about any lane change or turn -- that's why the cars are safe -- the drivers make them overly so)
Toyota Prius (most folks who drive them are attempting to determine how much gas mileage they can get and thus run on the electric motor (up to 25 mph) without accelerating from any standstill)
Any Oldsmobile still on the road (see Lincoln and Buick)

 

[starrynightin64]

what happened to people doing their jobs (especially is a customer service area)?????

 

[VaGentleOne]

People that say yah and uh huh, not yes or no. I am not even asking for yes ma'am and no ma'am, just a simple yes and no, is that to hard?

 

[keiffers]

what happened to people doing their jobs (especially is a customer service area)?????

cause it went to India.....I can't remember the last time I called a company for help with something I purchased and actually talked to someone in the US

--my current pet peeve is companies that don't take responsibility for their poor product failing earlier than it should. A tire has a 50K rating so it should not begin showing serious signs of wear prior to 30K (unless I totally missed something). The car maker that they came with won't touch it and now it is expected I must buy replacement tires earlier than should be necessary.....my grandparents are probably turning in their graves over this lack of responsibility and customer service!
