    Haha. This. I always politely refuse. Just tell them I'm good.

      We'd get along. Might have found a local VFR, btw.

      How about people that think everyone's lives evolve around their children, or people that always use their children as an excuse? "No, we can't... we would need to find a babysitter... oh, our kids LOVE going to Ruth Chris, we'll see you there... can Timmy have your french fries, he doesn't like his..."

      If it has to do with your kids, it's going to annoy me.

        It seems like back in the good old days it was assumed kids were not invited unless explicitly stated. Now most people think it's OK to take their kids everywhere. Not a good trend, IMO.

          Word. As a huge proponent of good food and restaurants, this annoys me to no end. There also seems to be a trend of people that take their kids to a restaurant so they don't have to clean up after their kids. I'm appalled at some of the messes that get left behind for a waitress and bus boy to deal with.

              I guess I'm irritable this morning.

              Credit card commercials where they swipe the card right side up. I've swiped a credit card tons of times. I know where the magnetic strip is.

                    "Bums" who pretend to be homeless, but actually make more money than we do.

                    Remember that recent viral photo and feel-good story about the NYC cop who bought the shoeless "homeless" man a pair of new shoes on that cold winter's eve? Yeah. Ends up that he has an apartment, gets all his utilities paid for, has about 30 pairs of shoes, and makes up to a thousand bucks a day playing his begging game. That's messed up.

                      Happens all the time. A lot of "gutter punks" living with mommy and daddy in nice homes and panhandle on the street to "buck conformity." I always laugh at those kids.

                        If he makes that kind of cash, why does the good Rev. Graf pay his utility bills?

                        I wonder how long that guy's been at it? Last time I was in NYC was around '96 and I remember seeing a guy who could be a younger version of the guy in that pic begging in Times Square wearing nothing but a black garbage bag. I was shocked at first, then I saw a duffle bag full of clothes in an alley just around a corner from where he was "performing."

                          Consider him a busker whose 'act' is looking disheveled and probably mentally ill.

                              There are only two things I can't stand in this world:

                              People who are intolerant of other peoples' cultures.....

                              .....and the dutch.
