    Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

    People who throw their cigarette butts out the window and they bounced off of my windshield.

    People that constantly walk past my desk and just say " Chaaaaaaaaaase!" 50 times each day. I get it.. you want to say hey. It's not necessary every time you pass by me.

      I'll take it a step further and just say cigarettes in general. Everything about them sucks.

          Even in open air I hate them especially this time of year. ****s up my sinuses bad. My neighbors smoke on their front stoop and on their back patio - it smells like they're right beside me.

            I thought oh my, OS is serious business. Don't know if the guy was having a bad day or what, but that was my 1st impression of OS, that thread and that conversation.

              My yard is huge, but if your yard is that big, how is the noise from people mowing carrying that far and then through the walls of your home ?

              I don't even know when my neighbors are mowing unless I'm outside and the sound is still faint. I'm in a really rural area, though. I can't even see any of my neighbors houses from anywhere in the front or back yard.

              Why I always loved inviting girls over to the pool. I don't care about my pool, but bitches love them.

                No joke. My neighbors smoke (why is that always the case) and sometimes I feel like I can smell the smoke from their patio coming into my living room. I may be paranoid but it is a drag.

                Also they don't pick up their Labrador's 45 year old man size poops.

                  The awkward look delivery guys give you as if they expect another tip when it clearly says on the receipt they handed me that I already tipped them. I've had one guy a few times and every time he kind of gives the evil eye, and one time, I'm just going to say, "Hey, you already got 20%, says so right here, what the hell more do you want?" Then again, maybe none of them bother to look at that and just assume you are an *******. Any one do delivery and is able to chime in on credit card tips? Do you know? Are you told? Or do you just assume the customer is cheap when they give you nothing?

                    As a whole, we all seem to be snobbish sometimes when it comes to evaluating someone new's posts. They may be within the TOS, but their thread or question doesn't make sense.

                    In the long run it probably does more if we are nice about it rather than being a prick. I see some folks being an internet ******* for no reason. My original posts were all stupid, but I learned over time. Some guys don't take the original criticism well when it comes off in a dbag way, especially if they are new to a place like OS.

                      Is that gratuity included? I have heard of the delivery fee going on a receipt but that doesn't go to drivers. At least it didn't where I worked in college...

                        I don't even like leaving a tip on the receipt in a place. I prefer giving cash directly to the waiter or waitress. I usually don't get to, but its my preferred method. I notice I tend to tip well on drinks, more so than others Im usually with.

                        Treat your bartender good and they are typically great in return. I was in a high end strip club once and the bartender ordered a pizza. I went to get a drink and he asks if I want some pizza and I said yeah (I was drunk).

                        I sat back down at a stage with a piece of pizza in one hand and a mixed drink in another. Girl starts shaking her *** and such and she looks between her legs and she sees me with the drink and pizza and just says, "What the **** ?"
                        Good times.

                          No, I'm not talking delivery fee. I'm talking literal tip. It's an option when you order online with a credit card; used it for years.

                            Oh, screw them then. That would irritate me.

                              It should be on the receipt. At least it was at the pizza place I worked at.

                              We would have to take the actual credit card receipt for them to sign and it would be on there.

                                They hand me a receipt, but if they never actually look at it? I would hope, but that is the only thing I can figure.

                                But delivery fees also grind my gears. Delivery has existed for decades. I've never worked in a takeout/delivery place, but I can't figure out what delivery could do that would cause a loss of revenue. You were already hiring delivery drivers. I doubt you paid them more (and the disclaimer even says the money doesn't go to them). I could understand if your delivery guy is a regular employee and having him run deliveries slows you down or forces you to hire others, but again, delivery has been common for ages.

                                Probably just an excuse to charge the consumer more and it was an easy explanation. If it was because of actual delivery costs to the driver, then they should have just put a mandatory X% gratuity. Never quite figured this one out.
