Gondola rides with people who want to talk and make new friends. Give me awkward silence any day...

boxing up my own left-overs at a restaurant last night.....totally wipes out any good vibes from the preceding meal. it's just a stupid thing for an owner to have the customer do it.

As a server, I HATE giving the guest a to-go box to do it themselves, they have to beg me to give them box, I'll have to SLAMMED to give it to them vs. doing it myself. I would rather box it up for the guests when still modestly busy, I want them to leave happy, the smallest things can piss guests off. I work in the industry, so maybe I put stuff to a higher standard.

I HATE IT when servers are lazy. I work in a high-end spot, so I put myself to a higher standard where I want them to return.

I don't really understand why you want to be on an airplane any longer than you need to be.

I'm eligible for early boarding and use the shit out of it. So nice to not be hurried to get your shit in the overhead, get all situated etc. Plus the flight attendants pay better attention to you for the whole flight if they see you board early.

nice, to me it just cheapens and puts a sour note on the whole dinner.......never understood it, glad to see someone in the industry agrees.

Two things, first it's annoying when it snows right after I clear the driveway, and second, when my nose whistles when I breathe when I'm trying to go to sleep.

I think there must be some rationale behind that, that either people were bitching about the boxes not being clean, or thinking that people spit in their food, or something like that. You never saw that 20 years ago and now it seems like the rule most places.

As someone who flies a shit-ton, the only thing worse that having to put your carry-on in an overhead 5 rows back and having to battle everyone when the plane lands to get back to it is: no overhead room, having to check the bag, then wait at the luggage turnstile for your one carry-on.

Like Gripen, I'm eligible for early boarding...and use the shit out of it.

Had a little bit of an disagreement the other day with a skywaitress who told me that I had to put my briefcase-sized bag under the seat in front of me. She maintained that the space above was reserved for large bags, I asked if it was reasonable that I be penalized and lose my foot space simply because I had packed efficiently. That was somewhat annoying, except I won.

People who delete their acct. Don't want to post anymore, just stop posting.

I bought about 6 of these for Christmas gifts. It's a designated glove for cleaning puppy paws so you don't have to flop all around with a towel. All my dog wants to do is rip it off my hand and run away with it. It's her favorite new toy. It's the first time she hasn't realized when, "Hey, that's my hand inside there."

I 2nd, or 6th the to go box drop off for the patron to scoop food into. Fuck that. I've been to some really nice restaurants where they do this. Take the fucking plate with the food back to the kitchen and put it in a to go container. It saves trips, too. It's always awkward doing it sitting down. Stand up right next to the waiter while he's at your table and do it.

Products that are completely fucking retarded.

most people would simply do what they are told. They're the people that ski in others tracks in the woods.

They were $3 or something on STP. Everyone's gonna love 'em. Works well, I might add. Although, Ice's comment made me chuckle.
