Every commercial on TV being COVID themed.  There's about 400 commercials right now with people in Zoom meetings telling everyone how we're all in this together and to stay safe.  Is there only one person in advertising making the exact same commercial for everybody?

Because we are in this together. Why don't you want to be in this together?

The way toilet paper and paper towel companies adhere the first sheet of a roll that it never separates cleanly

Just fought that battle about 10 minutes ago. Had to be glued 3 layers deep.

When you order food ahead of time to be picked up at a certain time and it's not ready when you get there. 
Did this at a local pizza place once and the pizzas didn't even go into the oven until I showed up. They were Chicago style deep dish so it took a good 45 minutes.

Worse yet is when they tell you your order will be ready in 20-25 minutes when it's ready in 15 minutes. It takes 15 minutes to make my pizza. I show up in 15 minutes and more often than not it's ready to go. If I occasionally have to wait for a bit, I think I'm coming out ahead in the long run. I'd rather wait for a few minutes for fresh, hot food than to get an order that's been sitting under the heat lamp (or on top of the oven) for 10 minutes.

I had that happen to me once. They didn't volunteer that they'd forgotten to make my pizza but I could see what was happening. "It's going to be a few more minutes. Um, what did you order on your pizza?" Nice try. I called them out on it. "You forgot to make my pizza, didn't you?" They copped to it. I asked them what we were going to do about it. I asked them to give me my next pizza for free and they agreed. So I treated the guys at my next poker game. 

45 minutes is pretty harsh. I'd either tell them to fuck off or to give me a free pizza, or some complimentary adult beverages while I wait.

I got the same run around bullshit acting like it was just running a few minutes late until I was so far in that I was committed and it would have taken longer to go somewhere else and start the clock over. I bitched and the guy told me he'd take some amount off my bill, which I had already paid online, so I agreed and left. Never saw any credit. I like the place and it's a nice family who owns it so I didn't pursue it further. The kid is kind of an idiot though and shouldn't be running the front by himself.

Yup - I mean I don't mind waiting a minute or two. But yesterday I was picking up a large order of Mexican food and it was pretty obvious that they only started on the order after I asked if it was ready

This happened on a pizza order for our daughter’s birthday in May. Wife placed the order 2 days in advance. I show up at appointment time and the had no clue what was going on. They said their “system” closed the ticket the day it was placed.

What about filling up, then leaving the car at the pump while you go in, go to the bathroom, make a hot dog, fill up your coffee cup, buy a scratch-off, etc.?

Yes this.

I sometimes leave my company truck at the pump if I can't get a receipt at the pump and have to go in to get a receipt.  The reason I do this is because there are some convenience stores that if the pump is used by someone before you get your receipt, they cannot pull it up at the register.

Edit:. No receipt at pump, really tweaks my melon, and it's damned sure not trivial.

Ha, not a bad guess, but this family is from Chicago and the kid seems like a high school diploma type.

Fuck all of you bitching about me.

When it is 100 degrees that is the only shade and also the only place I can park to keep idiots from dinging my doors. I am only there to get a beer. You can wait 3 minutes to get your gas.

Brand new Subaru Forrester replete with paper tags still on it with a “Beto” sticker slapped on the back window.  

Nothing against Beto but the vehicle owner needs to know the wars over.

I need to hire you.  This type of employee laziness drives me insane.

This is my house as well. I have maybe one soda a month, but it never fails that I go to get one and there are none in the fridge with 2 cases sitting on the ground next to the fridge.

My hunting camp is the exact opposite.  The fridge gets stuffed to the brim with 12 and 24 pack cardboard beer boxes and then the beer is pulled out one can at a time.  All of the space in the fridge is taken up even though there is 1 can of beer in each of the 8 cardboard beer boxes.

Oh, no, don't take the eight 95% empty beer boxes out and make room for, you know, something stupid like food; just stuff more full beer boxes in there to keep the near empty boxes company.

Friggin retards.

Yes, our drink fridge is a combination of these things. Empty beverage cartons are never taken out of the fridge, except by yours truly. Neither are the plastic 6-pack holders. They just magically take care of themselves, apparently.

Wait......

Is your wife downstairs right now or is she running errands?

i need to figure out if I’m the second family or if that’s you.... because I feel like you’re describing the same woman that I’m married to.

Maybe start making them put their shit into a gallon Ziploc before it goes in your freezer. That way if they abandon their drinks and a mess occurs, at least you can just throw out the whole thing.

Had a coworker years ago who would label his socks L and R as he hated how they stretched in the toe box if he switched feet. Didn't make me surly, did make me raise an eyebrow, briefly.

It's a South Texas thing.  They want to get you in the store to buy a taco.

Foot specific socks. I MEAN WHAT THE FUCK?

I wear them.  What’s the problem?  At least the L and the R give you something to focus on and clear the cobwebs first thing in the morning.

I never have an R and an L when I pull them out of my drawer.
