You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Do you use an old flat keyboard or something?

Normally. I've gotten so used to it that any change throws me off.

Doesn't help that the shift key on this thing is sticky as ****.

You'd eventually get used to the ergonomic one and will wonder how you ever used a flat one. I can't even remember the last time I used a non-ergonomic keyboard (at home).

It grinds my gears when I go to a restaurant and the server doesn't check up on me, yet manages to refresh the beverages of every single other table. I'm at a restaurant tonight that I frequent often, so often in fact that I was just there last night too, and this chick I'm not familiar with never once asked me if I wanted another beer even though I sat there staring at her trying to make eye contact for like 10 minutes with an empty glass while she either did side work or asked OTHER tables if they'd like a new drink.

Finally she came over, but stopped at the table next to ours first to ask if they wanted another Long Island. The customer declined and so our server heads towards our table, BLATANTLY looks in the other direction as she passes me and I have to ask "Miss? Could I get another beer please?" as she tried to sneak bye. Like wth?

This place gives free popcorn as an appetizer, which she forgot to bring. Then my roommate asked for the popcorn and she forgot to bring it a second time, also my roommate was never even given a straw lol. This server was awful. I can't believe we actually tipped her 3 bucks. It's a much lower tip than we usually give (all the usual servers know us and remember we tip well, and in return we get great service), even though our total was only $20, we usually give $5 minimum.

Dumb people. And im not talking about people who havent gotten an education. I mean people who lack sense. Especially people who repeat dumb mistakes and expect things to change this time, or the time after, or maybe the next.

3 bucks sounds like way too much.

My roommate paid the bill tonight, as a former waitress she usually tips well even with poor service. I guess she assumed that since the girl was nice the entire time she at least deserved something.

Reinforcing poor service is the worst thing you can do.

Just say no!

That sucks. Probably shouldn't have given her even $3. What was the name of the restaurant though? There was a place around here that used to serve free popcorn as an appetizer that closed some years ago and I can't remember the name. I liked the place too.

It's called Levi's, I think it's a local joint but for all I know it could be national. I usually like the place, most of the servers are very friendly and helpful.

American Pickers. That show is rubbish. Actually the entire History Channel. I remember when it used to show History shows.

Might as well be the Trailer Park channel. Aliens, Garage sales, and Bigfoot is all they talk about. All they have to do is ditch modern marvels which is a paradox in itself. Modern Marvels on a history network. SMH. Add a show about them thar Twisters ripping through the trailer park and they'll be all set.

Spot on. I remember when I used to watch the history channel all the time, probably 5+ years ago and could watch shows about, go ****ing figure, history. Now it's like some deformed fusion of the sci fi channel and TLC. Basically they've gone the way of MTV, and have just become ratings whores.

Same with A&E. It used to be a great network with some great programming. Now it's full of rubbish with Dog The Bounty Hunter and Gene Simmons.

When an interviewer says they'll call at 5 PM EST, and then don't, and then call unannounced at 11:30 AM the next day while you're at your current job.

You could take an awesome production with the best writing and unless it had doctors kissing in it or focused on law enforcement, a reality show with 8 clowns in a circus tent farting would get higher ratings.

The quality of programming in general really grinds my gears. Worst part is, its not the netwoks fault, they have to supply what the bafoons demand.
