Trivial Things That Make You Surly

Went to eat at one of my favorite Dallas restaurants and the guy at the front asked me "can I help you?" in the most abrasive tone possible. I told him "table for 2" and he responded "2 what?". "2 people....for here". "We don't have a server with a name that sounds like that". Someone had to shake him out of the trance he was in so he could realize I was asking for a table for 2 so we could eat at the fucking restaurant. He walks us to the table and continued on saying "ohhhh I thought you were looking for a table with a specific server". I just stared at him. No reaction. This is the same guy who mocked me last Christmas for spelling my wife's name after he kept asking me over and over what I said. "Yeah buddy I can spell". Well obviously not if you're having to ask me over and over again. 

The concept is awesome but the execution is terrible. That was our setup growing up and my mom would always do dishes during movies or TV shows. This was before DVRs so you couldn't just pause and wait for mom to stop banging plates together. The list of shows where I missed most of the episodes because she's slamming dishes is endless. 

Dallas has some really shitty service folks

dishes slamming, ice cubes being dispensed, garbage disposal running, etc. could barely hear myself think

Scanning qr codes for a menu. Fuck that shit. 

Waitstaff morons. 

 

 

Taco flats. Have to scan a qr code for their tap beer list. I grumble, bartender says its because the list is updated so often, they can't print paper menus. I order. He says, "oh we don't have that one on draft anymore." 

I say then just bring me a german style pilser, which is what the one I ordered was. He looks at me like I'm speaking German.

We and two plumbers have been sitting here at home for three hours waiting for the utility inspector to come by to check the work that was completed last week.
In the meantime we cannot use our water & toilets.
We have tried to communicate via phone messaging & emails to our local utility provider to no avail, as has the plumbing company.
Am getting very pissed off, as this appointment for the inspection was made last week.

Go sit in front of the inspectors haus or ask to use his toilet?

 

We hardly ever speak of it or have to police our own, by this dickhead is the exception.  Bad apple in our barrel.

But don't use your return address.

Inspector finally showed up at 3pm….only a 6 hour wait after the appointment time. One of the plumbers ran his truck battery down while waiting all day and the other had to jumpstart it when they left at 3:30.

Do you get to bill the inspector for the plumbers time waiting?  Maybe send an invoice to the City of Austin along with a flaming bag of dog poo?

I go into the office every other week, I rotate with this woman, so we never see each other. Every day, the person in the office has to put the daily filings into a folder and that folder gets put in a filing cabinet. A drawer can fit 6 months of folders in it, so every 6 months you have to start a new drawer. At the beginning of July, I started putting the folders into a new drawer. But when I came back, I noticed she must have forgotten because she put her shit in the wrong drawer. I moved it and didn't say anything.

It has been 6 fucking months and she is still putting her shit in the wrong drawer. I was going to say something but I wanted to see if she would eventually figure it out but nope. I guess she thinks it's like a bag of holding, you can just fill it up forever and it will never get full. If I were a younger man, I might wonder how she could be so oblivious but I'm old and have been married twice, so I know the deal.

Dressing in the dark and putting on the wrong belt and having to sit in an all day meeting sucking in your gut because otherwise the belt around your waist hurts like hell.

 

Or could just lose weight, but it's easier to buy a bigger belt.

Had a friend do this and he came to work with 2 different loafers on, one black and one brown.

Had a friend do this with socks. Except we worked for IBM and it was business suits only. He put on red hunting socks by accident
