Biggest Pet Peeve

[bbbass]

The original purpose of the $0.99 pricing was to get the Sparky's of the world to put the cash in the drawer instead of in their pocket like many bartenders do.

Next time give them $7.79 for that $5.99 meal just to see them doing mental gymnastics. If you encounter the same guy, demand that he count the change out.... all in PENNIES!!!

Manager: Sch!t floats downstream...

BTW, my penny my choice as to whether I wish to donate it to the establishment collection dish... I surely wouldn't want him to leave it in the cash drawer and have an unbalanced til at the end of shift!!!

Earlier this century, Sinbad the non-profane comedian had a great bit about how kids handling cash relied on tiny pictures of Quarter Pounders and McChicken Strips on their POS stations (that's Point of Sale for those who might think what I did the first time I saw "POS" in a job seeker's resume).

I chuckle over that routine every time I see a cashier (is it still okay to use that job title?) look completely flummoxed when I fork over $10.12 for a $9.87 transaction - like they've been karate chopped between the eyes.

Honestly. This one happened a week ago. Mrs. Teflon was with me and had to walk away before hot coffee came out of her nose.

"But... This is too much."
"It'll work. You owe me a quarter. [long paralyzed pause] Trust me."
"Ohhhhhhh, okay." [probably still wondering how I did that]

When people online make up a story forgetting that you're someone who can easily say its false.

"Outside of louisville KY is a lot of confederate flags." Lets ignore that in said group chat there's a trucker who is in that area a lot and doesn't see a lot of confederate flags.

My Parking Lot Pet Peeve is the Horses Patute that won't even look for a parking place but will let his/her passenger out right in front of the door to Costco or whatever store and then he/she will just sit there in the Red Zone until their passenger comes out.

ALSO the abuse of Handicapped Hang Tags that people can't be bothered to take off their mirror inspire of the fact that it's printed right on it you are required to. I won't even start on the number of people who don't qualify for one but still have them.

It's common to see the legitimate handi-cap tag user sitting at the wheel while the physically healthy friend/relative goes into the store and shops.

Inserting numbers into words isn't cute, it's ducking stupid. I don't know why this is annoying me lately but I'm just assuming now that people who do this are just ducking morons who need to grow up.
Maybe when this doosh nozzle learns to spell "resepct", he will earn some.

(Expletive) No show flakes suck!

We' were supposed to meet a new couple this evening. Plan was get together at a casino bar at 5:30 PM. Literally, as we're walking in the door we get a text saying they are running late and will be there 25-30 minutes. No worries, stuff happens, and where they're located that is about right travel time wise. Six rolls around, nothing, 6:30 rolls around and we get another message saying almost there. Odd, but who knows what the Five looks like tonight, though traffic was light. Wait almost another fricking hour, text, no reply, finally give up at two hours from original meet. Two hours later, still nothing. And I just blocked any further communication. There are few things more obnoxious than time-wasters.

Oh well, after giving up with the POS morons, we had a nice dinner out. And I have Tequila.

Flakes, in general, suck! Too many these days feel they are all important. That they have a right to put someone off because something that sounded "Better", came along. Do you think those folks had something that sounded better come up and just blew you off for the night?

Honestly, I have no idea. We've had times of people running late, changes of plans, or spur of the moment type things and that's fine. But being at the damn venue and told twice they're on the road only to have a no show/no reply is total BS.

 

[KKG]

Too many of the current crop of so called "Adults" simply refuse to take responsibility for their actions. As for the new couple, they may have been in an accident, while rushing to meet you - who knows?

Seems subjective to me...

Yeah, I forgot they only show up if you're a liberal.

Another Pet Peeve is people who complain about how much an FFL holder is making on the Sale of a Firearm! 25% is 20% TOO much!

Along the same lines are those who think the Manufacturers are charging too much for Replacement Parts!

And they think a Gunsmith should give away his/her knowledge so the Customer can do the work themselves! They're also the ones who come back and when the Gunsmith to correct their mistakes after they buy a part from the Gunsmith and screw up the installation!

RANT OVER.

I should probably bow out of this thread before I start making less sense than usual. (you're all welcome in advance).

Funny you mention it, because I have an FFL as a side gig. Having seen the wholesale prices, the markup at most places is not very much at all. The profit margin is razor thin in some cases.

I saw one today at noon; common complaint out here in the rural roads are bike riders taking up a lane riding side by side. Narrow roads.
Today I see in front of my driveway a female biker doing everything right, bright colors, riding on a straight wide road at the edge right. As I'm waiting for a jacked up GM truck to pass by I wait and see if he gives her the right or ? any width as he passes her.
What does he do? Gets right to her 3' from her and floors his diesel,,,,,,leaves her to ride 150' thru HEAVY black smoke.
Big truck mentality.

One from last week; people thinking that gym equipment is a place to sit and talk on their phone, particular while others are trying to work through their routine. On the phone or on the bench; kindly pick one please.
