Napkins and simple condiments in a lot of places where you can't even grab a pouch of ketchup without special behind-the-counter supervision.

I was at Whataburger the other day, needed a napkin but the dispenser was empty.  Sitting at a table right next to the condiments counter was a 350 lb woman eating her burgers with a 1-1/2” tall stack of napkins on her tray.

At the doc with wife so she can have a procedure done this morn.  

Why do people bring their entire family to the doctor?  I’m not talking about a single mom with young children.  I’m talking mom, dad and 2 grown-assed kids in their 20’s.  

And then they all get up together to go out into the elevator lobby and the reverse skate 1 minute later only to do it all again 6 more times in 10 minutes.  

Sit down and quit going in and out the danged door.  

(Daughter is pretty cute FWIW)

I can only speak for myself but my sister and I go when my dad has a major procedure. He's not doing well and you never know if it could be the last time you get to talk to him.

SO SIAP, but what is the etiquette for those walk-in ATMs, you know the enclosed buildings?

I was doing my banking business in one when some damn woman just walks in and stands right behind me as if we are in line at the Walmart checkout.

I asked her, "Can I help you?" and she looks and says "No." I then asked her "do you mind waiting outside? until I am done in here." Mind you, I was just depositing a paper check and not preparing to spend the night in there or taking long and I was only in there because the drive up ATM machine was out of order and I needed some cash too.

Damn, that irritates me when people do this.

Why do so many people who use the paper ass gaskets in public restrooms not bother to flush or make sure they deal with the paper mess?  If you are so damn particular that you won't sit on a toilet seat, why are you also a slob?

I don't get it.

Yep.  Those are the same people that will use the paper towel to open the door then throw the towel on the ground outside the restroom.  I sometimes wonder if they do that at home as well.

Single-ply toilet paper, especially in public restrooms.  I get it, you need to buy bulk to supply your bathrooms.  But when it takes 10 feet of your shitty single ply to wipe, versus 4-6 squares of a good double or triple ply TP, just upgrade and buy the better TP and make company morale rise in a single wipe.

the automated voicemail recording that plays after the actual persons recording..."at the tone, please record your message. After you have finished recording you may hang -up or press 1 for more options".
 
I KNOW HOW VOICEMAILS WORK, QUIT WASTING MY TIME!
In my life, I have never pressed 1 for more options after leaving a voicemail. I'm wondering what they are.

I ordered a subscription to Road and Track in January. I still haven't received an issue, so I went through their purposefully useless website to ask what the fuck, and I learned that my first issue is scheduled to be the June issue. I contacted customer service, and after a few rounds of meaningless canned answers, a sentient human explained that the covers are printed that far in advance or some shit.

I realize that it probably comes out in May or even April, but I have half a mind to cancel that shit on principle.

And these fuckers probably wonder why their industry is dying.

Waiters and waitresses that include themselves in the process.  What can I get us to drink? Do we need more time to look at the menu? Have we decided yet? There is no "we" bitch.  There is us, the paying patrons, and there is you.  Also with the specials description.  We're going to take a 7-9 ounce filet of snapper, then we're going to season it with expired, canned buttholes.  The chef is doing all of this.  There is no fucking "we".  I have no idea why, but this makes me ragey.

i still don't understand.... the first magazine they send you has to be the next one that they print?  You'd think they'd want to hang on for life for as long as possible.

I don't fucking know either. And if I thought that subscribing to Automobile instead would get me an issue in a reasonable length of time, I'd cancel R&T without ever receiving a copy.

Audio equivalent of emoticons. Shit like that.
