Stupid Pet Peeves

Getting an Amazon delivery pic that shows your item on a front porch that isn't yours.

I recently got one and wasn't sure who's porch it was, but as I drove away from my house I saw my package and could tell that the pic showed that porch.

Secondary pet peeve is making the decision between going and picking up my package from a neighbors porch and possibly looking like a porch pirate, or waiting to see if they bring it to my house.

Third pet peeve is when the package isn't on their porch anymore, it's been two days and they haven't brought the package to your house.

At least Amazon was pretty easy to get a refund from. They won't just resend the items in the package, they give you a gift card or refund and you can re-order.
 
I wish burrito joints would just be honest and say "Bean and Rice Burrito with a couple of gristly pieces of meat, might be chicken or beef, can't really tell". Hate getting a "carne asada" burrito that is 95% beans and rice and 3% cheese or maybe pico or a slice of avacado, and 2% meat.

This is what makes Rancheritos/Betos so great. Want a carne asada burrito? Here is a pound and a half of carne asada fresh off the grill with some pico and a solid glug of guac. You want rice and beans? We can add that if you want. Oh you mean INSIDE the burrito? I guess we can do that, you freak.

At least I didn't pay for this particular burrito so I won't complain too much. But still. nothing but beans and rice in a "steak" burrito. Should be illegal, that ****.

Agreed.

Not the same as a rice and bean burrito with a little meat easter egg hunt side quest, but along the lines of the asada at Betos/Rancheritos, they put that **** on a flat top and get it hot and juicy before they serve it to you. I went to a *****ly Mexican place recently called Maria's Mexican Grill, the one on the east side. I waited about 2-3 minutes for someone to come over with my water and chips and salsa, which is great. When they dropped it off they took my order which was three street tacos, Chicken, Asada, Al Pastor. Seriously less than one minute after that the lady was setting my plate on the table. Instead of Chicken they gave me Carnitas. All the meet was dry and barely above room temp. The Asada and Carnitas had next to no seasoning on them at all and the Al Pastor was cut into these little dog food looking niblets and was coated in what was clearly a packet of dry seasoning. It was clear that every single thing on my plate was scooped out of little warmer bins (that were too cold) and nothing was prepared fresh. Worst Mexican food I've had in years.
