Stupid Pet Peeves

When I was in high school, I worked at a movie theater. I had to deal with people constantly, and stupid people frequently. But I always made a point of being as professional as I could, even as a lowly ticket-taker/floor-sweeper in a vest and a bow tie. Respectful of other people, even when they were being retarded. Really, I didn't even think about it, that's just the way you did it. It seems that mentality is basically dead.

It's like nobody cares enough to do their best.

Except Chik-Fil-A. I've never been disappointed with their service.

That's another place that takes what they do crazy serious. My son and I walked over to Jordan Landing the other day on a Sunday and after we went to Game Stop we went to Noodles and Co. right next door. We stood at the register and one guy directly behind the register at a cooking station glances up at us then back to his work. A guy that was cleaning the dining area walked past us back behind the counter. Two ladies were standing back in the corner having a conversation. Eventually one of the ladies looks up and says hello to us. Then she tells the girl she talking to we need to be helped. That girl isn't ready to go so she has to walk to the back and do something first. My son and I were at the door when she got to the register and said she could help us. I told her we were good. Right next door to that is a chick-fil-a. Walk in, an employee on the floor acknowledges us. Two people are in line in front of us. Immediately a manager jumps on another register and takes our order (the other person moved up in the same line, I didn't jump anyone) profusely apologizing for the wait. He points out the number on the receipt but just a couple minutes later he brings us our food. Total manners, total professional. In the end it's a crap job I bet and all you're doing is feeding grumpy people chicken sandwiches all day. But here was an entire restaurant full of employees doing it right. It can be done!
 
I've never been to a Chik-Fil-A.


They weren't around in the midwest (or at least not in the Chicago area) for the longest time, and something about the name has always bothered me. I keep trying to figure out how it makes sense.

that's another peeve of mine, stupid business names.

So you haven't been subjected to their billboards with cow mock-ups looking like they're painting the sign telling you to eat mor chikin?

I thought those homophobes weren't open on The Sabbath? You know what I hate? I hate it when my Magik Underwear is so worn out that I can read the paper through them. What is even sadder is that I'm not making this up. The cost is another thing... Good Glob, no wonder I wear them until they're the consistency of spider silk. I just dropped three notes on a fresh batch for the Frau and me.

Hey, you're right. I swear it was a Sunday.
 
Was thinking of this thread today. I'm starting therapy soon guys, I promise.

Girls who's toes point outward. Can't stand to watch girls walk when their toes point out and they swing their feet side to side as they walk. I'm usually pretty down on guys for having silly pet peeves about women that cause them to discount perfectly wonderful women but poor posture (this falls under that, imo) is an immediate deal breaker for me. Put your shoulders back, hold your head up and move your feet forward and back when you walk, not side to side.

People saying they don't like dark beer and then calling a pale ale a dark beer.

Dark isn't a beer flavor damnit!

Never seen this before.
 
Flip flops.

smacking on the pavement

scraping across the concrete

This is why I can't go to the Gateway Mall.

Bitches that wear flip flops are notorious for having outward pointing toes. **** goes hand in hand.
