Things That Annoy Me, But Shouldn't

My father has a condition called Situs Inversus which means his organs are placed mirror image to an average humans. So he can't take heart transplants from normies because the tubes won't line up and literally every time he goes into hospital I have to discuss it with the attending because a weird amount of symptoms are hemisphere specific.

 

Life is tough enough with out throwing your dad a curve ball.

 

Pindick bureaucrats, usually in law enforcement, who jabber about 'legitimate uses' for marijuana. Getting high and enjoying yourself is a legitimate use, Sparky. One could make the argument that it's the legitimate use.

 

"Darn skippy, didn't that one guy say that he gave man all the animals and plants to use as he wished?"

 

Late pass-interference flags that are thrown only after the receiver whines and bitches and stamps his feet.

 

"Yay, Sports Ball!"

 

Other people's tastes, especially in music, film and TV. I don't think my own tastes are that 'out there', and yet I've only ever known one other person whose tastes reflected my own.

I think if I'm honest with myself it also demonstrates an arrogance I don't want to admit to.

 

I think there are a few of us here. I'd say Go Lions!, but they won't.

 

It annoys me when people leave the windscreen wipers on in a stationary car just because it’s raining. And it annoys me even more when they don’t turn them off after it’s stopped.

 

Technically my bad so no right to be annoyed. Speeding ticket, generated v. impersonally by computer with a camera. Empty road, dry and as wide as a runway, middle of the night bleurgh—just over. Feels wrong to crawl on that stretch even when busy, I'm a sedate driver too. Can't rules just be for the 'guidance of the wise'. Just for this once. Lesson learnt.

 

The fact that I never know what to do after receiving poor service in a restaurant. Leaving no tip or a penny seems small, and I would never complain to management. My usual tip is around 25%, so if the service is bad I usually leave 15% to the penny, but I don't know if that sends any kind of message.

 

"Excuse me. I believe there is a soup in my fly, and that is unacceptable. Ratings will fall for this outrage, I say."

 

Here in the UK we’re legally allowed to show our disappointment by leaving no tip at all. Zilch. SFA. Zip. Nada.

 

Far as I know, that's legal here in the US, too, but there are some restaurants who add a gratuity automatically. I haven't run across one, but fine dining to me is Big Boy, so ...

 

Only place I know of that does that is Cheesecake Factory, and you have to have minimum party of 4.
Though I think Denny's adds it too, if you have a party of 8+.

 

I just stare coldly and never return. I also never ever tip in any medium but cash. Tipping by credit card invites theft by management, or worse, the IRS.

 

We're young, we're educated, we're woke and we have a clear vision of the needs of a 21st century global economy. Let's pool our considerable talents and our resources and start yet another online dog food company.

 

I live in a country where tipping is uncommon. A friend and I decided to try a new American themed restaurant. The food was already over priced and then there was an automatic required tip added! The food was good but I never went back because I didn't like being forced to tip.
