QR codes. They just piss me off.

creating them or just using them in general?  They just usually work in my experience, and we use them a shit ton in our work.  It's easier than typing a website in and missing a forwardslash or whatever.

That's also one benefit I count from Covid is QR code menus at restaurants.  Do you want to hold this lamenated, but drug through shit paper menu or just hold your phone that belongs to you?  "Yeah, i got it right here on my phone..."

For work, logistics, no problem. Supply chain and shit like that.

But for advertisement? I posted on another thread and example. Watching a game on my phone. Ad comes on for something called Dave. says scan the QR code for more information. Dumbass, I am watching this on my phone.

Just got back from the grocery store and witnessed infuriating behavior by a bleach-blonde entitled self-absorbed house frau. 

She just sat there while the cashier had to bag all her groceries for her after ringing them up, all because she was a lazy fat fuck that couldn’t lift a finger to bag her own groceries. I was ready to call her out on it but the wife begged me not to.

I would absolutely, 1000% rather hold that shitty paper menu 

So much this. Fuck QR code menus. I've walked out of restaurants a few times when I asked them for a print menu and they didn't have one.

Tell me you’re old without telling me you’re old.

 

There are times when I want a QR code. Too many menus have tiny text and/or the restaurant is too dark. On a phone at least I can zoom in, and turn up the brightness.

Yeah I’m old too.

I recently needed the services of a pest/rodent removal company.  I called the local number that connected me to a menu tree. I finally got to the live person on the phone after several number inputs to only find out that they sat at some neutral site that handled appointments and were not local. I quickly explained the situation and told them what I needed done. They proceeded to say that they could help but first they needed to ask me some questions.

Me: sure, no problem.

Company: how did you hear about us?

me: this is the first thing that you are going to ask me? I told you that I have an issue and this is how you begin to fix it?

company: we’ll, we need to gather that information.

me: not from me. Hung up.

i called a second company. Finally got a hold to a real person. Explained the situation. They said that they would need to send someone out to do an evaluation first.

me: Nope. I know what is going on. I would do it myself but I am running out of time  as I will be going on a business trip. Just have your guy bring with him XYZ and we will be good to go. 
 

company: ok

Your phone is probably dirtier than the menu.

Your phone can do the same on hardcopy menus.

I almost never eat at McDonalds unless external circumstances force me to, so I'm not up to date on their menu. Today, I wanted something "breakfasty"  and McD's was the only thing nearby. I figure a sausage biscuit or egg mcmuffin would be a safe choice. So I go in and see some kind of breakfast combo that looks decent. Turns our I ordered something called a "McGriddle" by mistake, which on the menu board looks a lot like a biscuit.  But instead of a biscuit, the top and bottom "bun" are some type of pancake saturated in a fake log-cabin syrup flavor. Yeah, it's on me for not ordering right--but here's an idea: don't sell a bunch of "breakfast sandwich" type products that look very similar on the menu.  Stick with what you're known for. I bet 95% of McD's customers just want the regular biscuit or mcmuffin, not this griddle abortion that tastes like chemical death.

Agreed. Sausage McGriddle is fantastic. The only things I ever get at McDs are that for breakfast and senior coffee anytime. The only time I go to McDs is on road trips.

My parents owned two houses (nothing fancy - their residence, and their old modest home in Houston that they kept as a rental property). When my mom died, and her estate went to probate, I got probably 2-3 calls a week, for months, asking about my property at 123 X street, and was I interested in selling it. I’m on a do not call list - that don’t make a shit.

Now my dad has passed away. I’m getting 2-3 calls EVERY FUCKING DAY, including the middle of the day on Easter Fucking Sunday. They are fucking relentless.

People who leave 10 plus feet open in front of them in checkout lines. Guy at Costco is 20 feet back from the entry point to the self checkout registers for some reason. I head to the front and I get a "lines back here" from the guy. No, it's up here by the cash registers asshole. I get it if it would block some cross traffic, but not the case here. Guy just felt the need to leave a big ass gap.

I get those on some properties we have. I usually just tell them they are for sale and with as much sincerity as I can muster give them some amount 10 times the value. If they’re going to waste my time I’ll waste theirs as well.

People who plaster a sticker that reads "STUDENT DRIVER, PLEASE BE PATIENT" 

GTFO with that shit. Fuck you if you drive like a dipshit asshole and expect people not to zoom around you because you drive 30 in a 45. Stay off the fucking road.

NOW I'm surly!

Cut them off, crowd them, change lanes without signaling, tailgate them, honk at them, etc.  Teach them how it is to drive in the real world.

I have done that.  Shit, I get calls trying to buy our current residence.  I tell them sure, at a price that is several times its value.  I told my wife about one of those calls the other day, and she got upset -- "but I don't want to move!  I like our house!"  I said yeah, me too....but if someone wants to put a couple million extra dollars in my pocket, I'll be out of there before midnight tonight.

Also the McGriddle is like 20+ years old so it's funny because he was like, "I don't go to McDonald's often so not sure about these brand new menu offerings"

The amount of middle-aged Asians / Indians in our area sporting the "student driver" stickers are amazing.  I noted one that had one at school drop-off the first week of Fall 2023, and they still have it on there.  It's almost like they found out it's a way for their shitty driving to get excused or something.

I've often joked that I would pay double for TSA Pre... but I didn't mean it.  
 

Shoes and belt aside, not having to pull all my shit out of my backpack makes TSA worth it for me. Easy.

Why does the pilot trumpet the fact that they'll turn off the seatbelt sign during 3 hour flights or whatever. If it was 5-6 hours or something, sure, get up and stretch the legs.  On shorter flights, WGAF?  It's virtually zero benefit.

Can we just make it where you have to have TSA Precheck to even fly at all? Or clear, or whatever the fuck background check you want to do?

Then fire all the gotdamn Barney fifes and just let us on the damn plane.

Now there’s something fucking doge could do to be useful.

My wife flies a lot for work and has TSA precheck, I fly about 2-3 times a year at max and don't.

We went to NOLA back in January and I smoked her through the check in line.

NOLA gonna NOLA, of course, but if a person wanted to frustrate Precheck users to the point of inducing them to additionally pay up for Clear, they would probably come up with a setup pretty similar to the Precheck lanes at MSY.

My kids grew up on them.  And my grandkids are now watching them.  They are explicitly Christian faith-based.  I don't think they hide that at all.

Fuckers that take up more than one seat when its a crowded space.  Can be waiting areas, public transport, etc. Put your feet down and move the goddam bag. 
 

I was standing next to this broccoli headed fuck today with his backpack on a seat and a long trip to the end of the line. I said “excuse me, I’d like to sit down.” He gave me some bullshit about having a right to put his bag where he wanted so I picked it up, dropped it in his lap, and sat down. 
 

Like a bitch he started yapping. His sick burn was “who uses apps on white mode, you’re not even on dark mode bro.” 
 

Any concerns that this would escalate to a fight ended at that, so I just let him spew his shit till he got off. He told me “have a nice day asshole.”  I did have one now LOL.

Probably mentioned this a few pages back. But young people on public transportation who don't give up their seats to older folks.

My mom (75) and dad (84) still give up their seat if they see someone more feeble than them get on the subway. These gen Y and Z dipshits deserve ass kickings.
