Pet Peeve rants.

Ah, posting a minor annoyance, and having everyone interpret it as something more....

I wonder how that feels.
 
You guys are reacting like Fade said something besides "Everything sucks and I hate it all." Quit interpreting his post as anything different.
 
Reading the new food combo thread reminded me of one of my pet peeves.

People that put ketchup on everything.

I cooked steaks for a double date, and my friend's date wanted to put ketchup on the steak that I spent hours getting "just right." If you do that, please don't do it when some one cooks for you. You can insult the cook after you tried the meal first.
 
Pet Peeve: When I used to wait tables I would have these morbidly obese guys and gals come in and order a salad. Good for them right? Except it was always the salad that had fried chicken, tons of cheese, maybe some more cheese and then they would dump blue cheese or ranch all over it until it resembled oddly colored mashed potatoes. Sometimes they would actually use MAYO instead of salad dressing because I guess they weren't dying fast enough.

Of course every got-danged time they ordered this? They would say the same thing: "I'm being healthy today!"

God, that fucking annoys me, too. I'm an obese dude, but on the rare occasion that I order a salad, it's just a goddamn salad. I don't like salad dressing for the most part (I usually just put a little salt on it). But most of the time? I'll go right ahead and order the cheeseburger. It's not a mystery how I got in this shape. When I'm going out to eat, it's because I want something different, not because I'm trying to impress someone.

I dislike when the waitstaff at a restaurant gets annoyed because I have a question about the special - Sorry it's such a big imposition, but I don't know what a "Double Maguffin Sandwich" is and I'd like to know more before I order it.

Pet peeve: being the first appointment of the day at the doctor's office, and still having to wait 30 minutes!

The goddamn teacher's lounge. It's a sea of Lean Cuisines and bitching about fat butts. I eat outdoors in the sunshine where I can enjoy my peanut butter sandwich without some lady talking about how she "could never have that."

I love this post.

They're ALL nice ladies... until they whip out their sad, bland little meals and start clucking about what Oprah or whoever said about weight loss.

Photographers who don't label their cosplay photos! I understand not having shots from a convention labeled. If you shot a pic of an awesome costume, you might not know what it is. I'm talking about giant photoshoots with dozens of pics. They have the location, the type of camera, the lighting used, the camera settings, the name of the model, with lots of tags for all sorts of stuff, but they don't put down the name of the character! ARGH so much information, but not what I need.

Pet peeve relative to this week: group presentation partners that are IMPOSSIBLE to set a meeting with. I've been asking you since Sunday if you are available to meet on Thursday to go over our project (due Monday) before I leave town for the weekend. Just give me a damn answer!

I totally agree. Extrapolate it to everything the complainer could do something about. I hate being told I'm "lucky" that I'm nearing 40 and get mistaken for an undergrad all the time. It ain't luck. I exercise everyday. I don't eat 30 lbs of food a meal. It's hard work and will power. Don't blow it off as "luck" because you can't do it.
 
OK Fade, I'll spoiler tag my reply because it is a little insulting...

I thought you were about 40, because when I see your "do" I picture you breaking out into the chorus of Runaway Train...

Dave Pirner? You, sir, offend. Cobain, maybe.

*gauntlet slap*

(I'm only 35, I just meant it more in a rounded sense.)

This is why I usually eat in a better-than-usual gas station on the way, and not bring my meal into the teachers' lounge.
