I think if Euroland were to elect an overlord it wouldn't do it just by popular vote as the little countries would not want to be completely irrelevant.

When a commercial advertises something as a good deal price-wise but it's really not. Like KFC advertising some assortment of crap for $30 like it's some amazing deal.

The phrase "pizza pie". In what context is the word "pizza" alone going to be at all ambiguous?

I say pizza pie, chicken eggs and cow's milk just to annoy people.

If you don't say cow's milk these days it's more than likely you'll be talking to some weirdo that thinks it must be soy or almond milk. This pisses me off.

Worst pizza I've ever had was in NY (Bleecker Street Pizza), so I have to assume we're expecting different things from pizza if everybody here likes it so much.

I've never actually tasted American pizza so maybe my earlier response was a bit hasty. Having said that I have tasted pizza in Italy and it was divine. Simple is often best.

If you like dog food, then you'd probably love a good steak.

I just after your post read myself few details about electoral college, and I found interesting the explanation on the inet, why it is this way. I mean it is very different from today's perspective or if you know how it grew, at least for me.

Yes, it's fascinating. Explaining it over and over every day to new people when you're on a two-week trip is not, however.

I work in Social Media a lot, so it makes perfect sense to do it, but it pisses me off that people do it.
Or when LinkedIn becomes LinkIn?

Something that pisses me off: when people complain about having to do things that are literally part of their job description. Probably the most noticeable complaints I see are from bartenders. Someone posted a long rant in a local paper from someone in the restaurant restaurant industry. Apparently, if you order any drink other than a beer or one that has the names of the ingredients in the name, bartenders hate you. What? Isn't mixing drinks the entire reason for your job? I'm pretty sure we could self-serve beers and get auto-mixed GnTs from a vending machine. If bartenders don't want people to order complicated drinks, particularly when it's busy, then either don't make them or make them prohibitively expensive. "Oh, a mojito? That's 20 bucks." "Sorry, we don't serve Long Islands after 10pm."

Shouldn't piss me off cuz I don't live in the US and have to deal with whiny bartenders.

When I think of something minor that pisses me off and then can't remember if I posted about it in this thread like two years ago.

With that in mind, when stores have signs up for something like "10 for $10" when it doesn't matter how many you buy, they're just a buck each. Then the same store will have "buy one, get one half off" signs where it actually does matter how many you buy.

That 10 for $10 thing is anchoring. It makes people buy more even if it's not 10.

Same with the limit of 4 per customer bs. They never limit people and have not reason to. Just makes people buy 2 or 3 instead of 1.

People who order stuff like Starbucks or Subway online. The whole system becomes unsustainable if too many people do it.

I had to wait behind like 5 online orders at Starbucks this morning, and no one picked up any of them. **** off like it's that hard to wait in line for a minute to order coffee. By the time your order it online it's pretty much done and you're still miles away.

I think it must be confirmation bias, but I feel like 80% of bartenders are complete d-bags who think they are better/smarter than their customers. I guess that could be do to the fact that they deal with drunks on a daily basis. I've often considered ordering long and complicated cocktails if a bartender ever gives me grief about my order.

Me: I'll have a margarita; rocks, no salt
BT: Ugh, we're pretty busy right now and that's kinda lengthy to make
Me: I'm also buying for my whole table and I'll have a margarita, pina-colada, singapore-sling and 3 mind erasers.
BT: Sure...

Never had the right mix of arrogance and impatience to pull the trigger tho. Some day...
