When I order iced tea with NO LEMON and they bring me a glass of tea with a big 'ol hunk of lemon on the rim. I don't say anything and just remove the offending citrus, but you can be damned sure I remember when I don't leave a tip.

Brother? Shit drives me nuts. Same thing happens with water.
Lemon is for cleaning.

When did lemons in water become so fancy. I just want water. If I wanted lemon water I would have ordered it.

People in front of you in the check out line who, after paying for their stuff, have to spend ten minutes reorganizing their billfold/purse/pockets after spending the previous ten minutes digging through them trying to find 37 cents because they are mortified of the idea of having to put 63 cents in change back into them.

Overheard recent order: garlic cheese-bread, but without the garlic, because "garlic is bad for you."

 Literally the only honest-to-goodness healthy ingredient in that order, and it's the one getting called out.

Lucy made a mistake back there on the Serengeti. Humanity never should have come down from the trees.

Be around me for the next six hours after I eat some and you might agree with them.

Our cat actually nailed this move the other morning. She knows I’ll get up and feed her even though I’m trying to sleep in. I was watching her sit on the night stand next to me when I wriggled my feet under the comforter.
She went airborne. BOOM.
Nailed the landing.

Basketball: referring to six consecutive points as a "run", e.g., "a 6-0 run", especially outside of the last couple minutes of a close game.

Six doesn't feel like enough to be called a "run".

Minimum 7+ or a 10+ differential.

14-2 run is a run.

[Prepuce of Doom 21,077]

I generally agree with the argument that it's sometimes overused (though it doesn't bother me - sometimes it's helpful for when you're not paying super close attention to the game, etc.) but I would suggest that the overall flow of the game itself should determine the shortest length of a run. In some bullshit UVA vs. Drying Paint 34-32 final score rock fight, a 4-0 run is a run.

The new design of fast food drive thrus. I can't be the only person to notice that newer fast food drive thrus are designed to lock you in. So if you're behind someone whose vehicle shuts down or the kitchen staff is short a few workers and orders are taking a long time, you're in it for the long haul. We used to drive out to Lubbock for Christmas and we'd always get dinner at McDonalds. Well one time there was a long line and we had to decide whether or not to commit to it or not. I go inside to take a piss and see if I can order. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone. There was only 1 employee there and she said that her coworkers had called in so it was just her. Order was a minimum 2 hour wait. Hell no we drove away. The drive thru was that locked in style so unless you could convince the people in front of you to drive off or the people behind you to back up, you're there for 2 hours.

^^ i was stuck at a taco bell drive through for an hour back in college (~20 years ago).  if i'd have been in a truck i would have gone over the curb, car probably would have gotten high centered and left a bumper cover. 

[Paper_jam 831]

Trivial road design issue that makes me surly: why doesn't the far north end of Lamar extend that last little bit to Howard Lane? There's a southbound connector from Howard/I35 to Lamar, but If you want to take Lamar **northbound** to Howard it forces you to turn back on the southbound 35 service road.

*Unless you can cut through that school campus off the left, which is still not ideal

Shitty bowl names.

 

Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl

Tropical Smoothie Cafe Frisco Bowl

Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl

Cure Bowl

R+L Carriers New Orleans BOwl

Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl

San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl

 

what?

[El Diablo 4,232]

I'm pretty sure that the whole bowl naming game is one big troll job. Gotta be.

[elfenix 34,271]

holiday bowl used to be a pretty big deal.  or maybe i just thought that because it seems like we always ended up in san diego.

Wasn't it the Big 12 second place team tie in? Seems like around the early 2000s?

[Guest Lobo]

It was really the third place...Fiesta/BCS was 1, Cotton was 2, Holiday was 3, Alamo quickly rises to 4 in the Big XII, Insight.com was 5 I think.

How about assholes on a plane sitting behind you that insist on deboarding before you

Had a lady do this on one of our legs on one of our trips this summer.  The kicker was she boarded on a wheelchair.  She stood up most of the flight talking to friends of hers and then when the plane stopped she starts weasling her way back to the front of the plane.

Another plane issue... Flew Southwest over a year ago.  We were in the high As so I was hopefuly to get a exit seat.  Any way this elderly couple (high 70s at the youngest) grabs the last available aisle.  The attendant asks them can they handle the duties involved.  The husband nods there is no verbal or physical response from the wife, attendant walks off and the wife asks they husband "What did she say?".

If that pisses you off, don't fly in China. I sweater god, they start to deboard the plane when the landing gear come down.
