kristy and your wife are wrong. shocking.

I think you mean puppies.

I'll usually say, "No", and then wait for them to ask what I would like. It amazes me - although it shouldn't - how long it takes for them to continue. Sometimes after about 5-6 seconds I'll ask if they're ready to take my order.

This behavior of mine pisses off my wife.

I sometimes have the opposite problem at Chipotle. They try to ask too many questions up front which greatly increases the chance of someone ****ing up my order. I'd rather go step by step and make sure I get what I want as opposed to trusting the workers there to not mess it up.

Fine. Continue to complain and eventually they will develop a fast-food restaurant where the prices are high enough that they can offer employees a wage that will attract competent workers with real life skills. This will go out of business in 6 months, but during that time I'm certain that we'll all have a lovely discussion of how crappy the food is, given the price, instead of this one.

your sarcasm reeks of hand cream and scrunchies

Bacon cheeseburger question is legitimate.

But it's hardly ever a questioning tone. "I thought we already did that" is a statement. The only difference it has from any other normal sentence is there is an emphasis on "did".

When people use a ? there I read it as they are unsure if we already did that. A period they are positive we already did that and are making a sarcastic quip about it

Thread got shm!tty all of a sudden.

On the topic of annoying driving habits that should piss you off, and do, I'd like to send out an F U to the drivers who when driving on a 3 lane road with a shared middle turn lane, never get their car fully into the turn lane before they have slowed almost completely and are making the turn, causing everyone behind them to have to slow down.

Twice in the past month I've had to go crazy with my horn because some idiot was holding up traffic trying to let somebody make a left turn they were never going to be able to make. (we're going north, traffic going south isn't stopping anytime soon, yet they're posted up trying to let somebody turn south from a side street).

...and then you see them through their back window raising their hands like "what the hell you bad person, i'm trying to help here"

no *******, you're trying to kill someone! watched a guy almost die a few months ago. paint incoming. dids, paints always make them way more enraging.

Not in this case. Their menu was pretty clear in this regard.

They had listed the following burgers:

Burger $X
Cheeseburger (pepperjack, cheddar, american, swiss) $X+.5 or something.
Bacon cheeseburger $X+1 or something
California burger (guac.) $X+ some fraction.

Then it clearly said "make it a combo: fries and drink for $2 more".

Therefore, "would you like bacon on that?" was in no way a legit question there. If I wanted ****ing bacon I would have said "Bacon Cheeseburger", since it was a dedicated menu item.

I'm still confused as to how to order combos. I'm a financial nit so I always make sure I saw "combo" in there as early in the game as possible so they can ring everything up right. It used to be if you said you wanted a burger, with fries and a drink they'd ring everything up separately and you'd pay more. Or they would have to go get a god damn manager because they were like "Oh, you wanted the combo.... ?..." looking at you like you're a jerk for not telling them in the first place.

Now it seems it's just a standard question they ask at the end "do you want to make that a combo?" with 1 simple button and I guess it works out. I don't get it. I'm still on the old system where if you didn't say combo early in the game, everything went haywire. However, you give them too much info. and they just can't handle it.

I agree that fast food workers being incompetent is standard now and your wife is wrong saying you give too much info. It's not that difficult to process and remember for 10 seconds

C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!

When I go to my seat 40 minutes before first pitch and some jackass is already sitting in it. Then acts like I'm inconveniencing him by making him move.

OMG THIS!

People that end sentences with "so".

"I really didn't want to tell you that but I did any way, so...."

**** off and die.

Not really.

I thought combos were numbered? I get asked, like, 2 questions max when I order a #x (would you like cheese with that? drink size?) so...

people who constantly **** up homophones.

people who just chew their food obnoxiously loud.

people who are oblivious to the people around them in a social setting. if you just received your change at starbucks, chick-fil-a, or wherever -- don't ****ing sit there for 10 minutes putting your change in your wallet and hold up the line. casually walk to a place where you are able to do so.

people who have >15 items in a 15 items or less line. and the people with 55 coupons.

incompetent drivers. can usually be narrowed down to females and old bags.

had these two in one stop yesterday! what the ****ing **** is with these people?

-i walk in market and go to return something first. one old man ****stick is there just finishing a transaction and lady just gave him some change. i arrive and stand next to him, not even behind him. guy can definitely see me in his periphery. this ****stick starts chatting up the ****ing lady while putting his bills back in his wallet one at a ****ing time. this goes on for 30 solids seconds while i'm standing there 1 foot to his left. the cashier lady is actually trying to start my transaction but this ****stick will not shut up(visual: older 'cool guy' with slicked back gray hair from the 50's).
i cut the distance of us from 1 foot to six inches and just turn and deathstare at him for another solid 20 seconds.

i shop. they have the guns so i ring in my crap while i shop. this lets you fly though the self-checkout...unless:

-some ****ing lady is sitting there, in the self checkout line, with a ****ing overflowing cart of **** and she is scanning every one at the checkout. easily there for 20 minutes, but i would guess more. jfc fu in the a so hard lady.


man this thread gets me heated. i type '****ing' way more in here than probably everywhere else put together

Self-checkouts drive me nuts. Same crappy price, none of the service.

yeah, people who go through the self-checkout with a ****load of stuff or a ton of coupons really chap my ass. it simply doesn't make sense. it's not going to be faster. i guess they want the freedom of doing it themselves or something. they will scan the coupon(s) until it ****s the machine up and then they have to get the help of an employee. use a little brainpower.

also, people with ******ed decals/bumper stickers on the back of their cars. i see cars all the time with random **** on there. the last few days i've seen: Moonshine, MONSTER ENERGY DRINKS, cross-skulls, etc.

my favorite, however, was this gem on the back of a truck with a confederate flag: "I shoot all things that are brown." what kind of redneck jerkoff would ever put something like that on anything.
