Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

I've never seen that issue myself so it's not something I can troubleshoot.

Trains are very valuable, I'm a big fan of them except for the 1% of the time I have to watch one go by. For what feels like miles. 60% of the time, I'm pro-train every time.

Know what's underrated not fun at all? Washing a shower-curtain. They have like 10 to 12 hooks to get it off, then you have to go through the normal washing process, then you have to hang it back up through 10 to 12 hooks. Not gonna lie, my shoulders got a little tired half-way through.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

The amount of ads on the internet is just so fucking unreasonable. Some sites have so many, including ones you can't even x out of, that is renders the site damn near unusable.

Fucking blood-suckers.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

Remember the days when you could watch a YouTube video without being interrupted with ads every few minutes? We didn’t know how good we had it.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

This trend of people posting receipts and complaining about the prices of things, after they've already paid for it. For example, saw a post the other day of someone who ate at Five Guys and was complaining about the price. Anyone who's been there knows their menu and prices are posted very clearly at the register. Is it expensive for burgers and fries? Well it's not cheap, but spare me with the victim routine. You can easily turn around and walk out the door and eat somewhere else.

Or another tweet where someone posted their receipt from ordering room service in a hotel in NYC. You'll always pay a premium for room service in general, but in NYC? Of course it's going to be ridiculously expensive. Get the F outta here

Tipping in general has become frustrating.

I got some chinese take-out recently and the lowest default tip option was 15%. 15% just to pack up my order? I think 10% max is perfectly appropriate for getting take-out.

Preach.

It makes me feel guilty when I don't tip on a takeout order, but on the flip side the argument is "why don't you just pay your employees better?"

Tipping on a takeout order is just subsidizing a business who doesn't want to pay their employees proper wages.

I just had a Domino's open 20 feet from me and they do not have tipping. It's not an option paying online or in the store. And there is no tip bucket. I was shocked when I saw that.
