Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do. - Page 452 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

I find myself saying this sometimes. This situation comes up for me pretty often. I work in a high end seafood restaurant and when I don't say anything it feels a bit wrong. What would you suggest, just a simple "excuse me"?

I was responding to Anais' suggestion that you would only have to reach across someone at a place like Red Lobster.

So, he was making a joke that I must work at Red Lobster if I have to reach across someone's plate (I think), and I was saying that the situation happens at the restaurant I work at. Who the hell would refer to Red Lobster as high end?

Glad you clarified this. But, come on man, read your previous post again:

You responded to "People who think Red Lobster is high end" with a "but it is definitely..." where the "it" would be interpreted by anyone reading your post (without additional context) as referring to Red Lobster.

This one's on you for not communicating clearly. Pro tip: you can manually nest quotes yourself (like I did above) to show the entire conversation if that is important to understanding your post. If that's too much, at least multi-quote.

Yeah I see that now. Sorry it seemed clear what I meant as I was typing it but re-reading it I completely understand I responded in an unclear way

Apple paid to change it to ISIL because they have a sibling robot product coming out.

There was an E-wallet tap to pay app called ISIS. They changed it pretty promptly after the news started covering the middle east group.

It's pissing me off that you chose "20 degrees" as your cutoff, when obviously it's at least 50. That's because you're one of those slightly-overweight/meathead *******s who wears shorts when it's 42 degrees out.

So you prefer a slow, unreliable service?

I don't recall ever having a problem with USPS. It has always arrived on time and they've never "lost" a package.

When people call up radio hosts and ask how are you or how are you going? Just stfu and get on with it.

There is a limited time to speak and you're wasting it, not to mention the idiot calling before you already asked.

They don't give her much (because she's so bad), so its easy to not notice her, but once its pointed out to you every line she says will make you cringe.

Same with shows that read tweets from listeners. CNN in particular tries so hard to be on the leading edge of technology. Their hologram stuff is hilariously bad.

And, of course, Wolf Blitzer's a moron.

Venturing into the range of things that should piss you off, but this +1

I hate myself most for it because I find myself listening to Sirius NFL radio in the car way, way too much, when 50%+ is just literally idiots calling in to blather about their favorite team, and then 15% more is the host/expert saying "thanks for the call/great point/etc.", then 20% more is commercials.

When I see someone who apparently tried to tint their own car windows and its nothing but bubbles.

Also, when someone sticks a single square piece of tint on the window.

Saw each of these this morning and I'm not happy about it.
