bruce_oneal Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Especially in these times, when any place that grows hair is considered fair game for the razor.Tell the management that you want 3-way mirrors installed, because you're having trouble shaving your back. Perhaps that will prompt them into establishing some sort of policy on this matter.well, i kinda think God put my hair in certain places for a reason. buy when i do decide to trim/shave my 'delicates', i am certainly not gonna do it in the gym lockerroom bathroom.

Subdude Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 You know what kind of bugs me? When you buy something, and they ask you if you would like something else. "Would you like a drink with that?" "Would you like a pastry with that?" Like you're too stupid to order what you want without prompting. Sometimes I just respond, "No, that's why I didn't order one." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you learn NOTHING from "Fight Club" !?well, they're not just asking out of the kindness of their hearts. the machines that they work for know that if one thousand extra people order an apple pie, that $500 extra dollars ... just for asking a simple question. multiply it by the thousands of restaurants and you get the picture... big bucks.that said, it bugs me too ..

"no, i do not want a meal ... i just want a sandwhich ... if i wanted a MEAL i would have ordered it that way ... trust me!" I am in total agreement, I was in the restaurant business for almost 10 years. Not fast food mind you, but the mentality is the same. It is SELLING ! Just like macbro says, 50% of people asked will automatically "upgrade" without giving thought that it's only 49 cents, "sure go ahead, supersize me". I'm not kidding about giving the sarcastic remark though. These folks are getting paid minimum wage for a crappy job. They don't need the rhetoric, they are just doing what they have been FORCED to do by "Management". Think about a possible "special sauce" on your burger, before you make the correction to the 17yr. old talking to you on the headset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 I don't go through drive-throughs, so I'm not worried about it.I know that management is making them do it, and it's for more sales, but it still bugs me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rps324 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 My rant du jour is a Realtor rant. If you can take the time to meet with someone to take a listing, then take 5 minutes and click some pictures. It takes 2 minutes to download them on MLS. I HATE IT when you are trying to find houses for clients and you have no idea what one looks like because the listing agent can't get it together to download photos for up to a week after they have taken the listing. If I am going to have photos professionally done, & that causes a delay, then I snap some to tide me over until the professional ones come in. It just isn't that hard. Second worst is when there are no interior pictures. The MLS will take up to 16 photos, I believe 6 are required. I consider 10 to be the minimum on a house. Sometimes you will see 6 shots of the exterior taken at slightly different angles. Often times on houses that have great interiors. But the agent won't include those. I always try to keep up with all the mid-century moderns, and it would be a lot easier to scan areas if agents would use the correct category on the architectural style category. You will have mods that are clearly as contemporary as they come, but instead of putting them under contemporary, they put them under "traditional" or "colonial" or something equally stupid. So you have to scan entire zones to make sure you don't miss anything good.Anyone who scans HAR looking for houses themselves probably can feel my pain on this one.

TJones Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 reason why you only ge the outside, is because it is a recent foreclosure, or the occupants weren't home when they came to take the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citykid09 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 This may sound stupid, but one thing that drives me crazy is when a place goes out of business and they take down the sign outside of the building and you can still see outlines of the signs and marks it left. Then another business comes takes there place and you can still see the spots and marks on the building from the old sign. Why don't they ever fix that?????

ToolMan Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 The daytime news:OK, so I'm off work today just lounging around watching the 4:00 news...I don't need to see the weather every 15 minutes - nothing has changed within the hour (much less the last 24 hours).Now the 5:00 news is on. They are talking about the sames topics as the 4:00 news - oh, but wait, it's 5:02 and I get another weather forcast. Anything new? No!!I just can't wait for the 6:00 news. I don't need 1 1/2 of local news between 4:00 - 6:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have the amount and time period wrong, but I'm sure there's a fine...at least there was when I was doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I just respond, "No, that's why I didn't order one." I usually end my order with "...and that will be all..." Many places they continue to ask "Would you like blah blah blah?" I notice that Jack in the Box is much less likely to do that - if I order a Jumbo Jack they do not ask me if I want cheese on it - they just give me my Jumbo Jack - and that makes me happy!

Ashikaga Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I hate it when slow people drive in the fast lane, I cut them off as retaliation.I can't stand the many commercials on TV. Now, I can understand network stations having them because we don't have to pay to watch them. But we have to pay for cable and dishes. Then why do cable stations have just as many if not more commercials than network? They shouldn't have any at all since we are paying to watch their stations.
