Trivial Things That Make You Surly

[Tylerocks 2550]

Work deal- people that call, don't leave a message, then call right back...all the while I'm on another line and watch their number pop up.  Again.

Or same situation....calling not leaving a message then emailing me telling me they "tried to call you."
 

Oh really, I didn't get a message...

I see your point, especially the first one, but I hate voice mail.  I'd prefer that they email me rather than leaving a voice mail after I miss their call.

I leave a voicemail explaining why I called but prefaced by saying "I will email you shortly so you can disregard this message, but I called because...."

Some people like voicemails, some email. Whichever, bases covered.

When you can’t get the tray table to retract in the first class seat arm rest....happens allllll the time

[Chewbacca 7665]

Chopsticks or a fork, I don't care. But if you make loud slurping noises and say its "tradition" I should be legally allowed to kick you in the dick.

I fucking guarantee WhatTheBuck slurps the shit out of his pho, all the while telling people it's how they do it in Asian cultures.

I'd like to take you to my favorite Vietnamese place and buy you a bowl of pho, then film you using a fork and a spoon, and maybe a knife, in order to eat your soup. 

I did that on Tuesday (no knife) and I finished quicker and was able to get more out of the bowl than the chopstick users.

No it doesn't. 

It has short noodles you can pick up with a spoon.

when announcers, especially the color commentator, feel the need to interject "LOOK OUT!" when a QB starts to scramble and then the play ends up a three-yard gain

I’d get mine done if they would scratch my nuts while they did them

[troph 24489]

That’s the baseball version of getting excited on a routine fly ball making the listener or watcher think it’s a bigger hit than it is.

I used to order the season pass of Texas DVDs where they cut out all the dead time between plays.  I have this game somewhere in a closet. Wonder if I could somehow have a gif made.  Or a short clip to put on YouTube.  Great hit.

al michaels's "mhm" after collingsworth says something.  drives me nuts. 

[52-80 19046]

when people, particularly "outsiders" adopt and parrot this nonsense about "good barbecue doesnt need sauce!!!"  like its a religious doctrine, as if bbq sauce is akin to A1 on a steak.

yeah shouldnt douse your brisket or ribs with it, but i do like a bit of sauce to accompany the meat, in the same way i do like a bit of ketchup on my fries

If it's prepared correctly you shouldn't need any additional sauce unless you like messy food.  The best BBQ'a I've had were just amazing smoky meat flavors with a good bit of moisture, and the flavor of the original sauce without swimming in it.

Good fries don’t need ketchup. 

[Walden Ponderer 12638]

Damn straight. And BBQ sauce is good for tater tots, or poorly cooked chicken. Maybe so-so sausage, and sometimes sloppy joes. But it's a sin on brisket.

as an outsider whos been to Franklins once, and other central Texas BBQ establishments, I feel I can relate to this. Im not an expert by any means.

 

Brisket is king, the standard. the bark, the meat, its beautiful. Dont put sauce on it unless it sucks, then probably dont eat it as it could forever hinge your opinion about the beauty that is brisket. 

 

Id put sauce on ribs, pulled pork&  chicken. Sausage? no Turkey? no. Sides? whatever.

Brisket is my favorite.  Particularly the fatty brisket (cut from the point).  A couple of slices I could eat by itself for the flavor of the meat and smoke and salt and pepper.

More than that is just too fatty, and the acidic and/or sweetness and/or spiciness of the sauce helps balance it all out.

Yeah the raw onion and the pickles serve that function some.  But there ain't nothing wrong with sauce.  Except to some fuckstick who read about Aaron Franklin on Yelp and thinks that sauces are banished from CenTex joints.

I have no idea if this has been covered or not, but I hate the champagne celebrations in baseball after each round of the playoffs.  You haven't won shit yet, so put the bottles down until they hand you a trophy.  It's ok for after the LCS rounds, but even then I would prefer the only champagne celebration be after you've won the World Series.

Winning the pennant used to be an accomplishment, so I'll let that go. But it's silly in the first round.

When I’m at a fast food restaurant with a half a cup of undrunken coke, I hate depositing it into the trash can, knowing that eight hours later some poor sap has to empty the trash, getting coke all over themselves and creating a coke trail from the trash can to the dumpster out back. Drives me crazy.
