Pretty please let's not have the goddamn airline seat rest debate again. Or bump that thread and post in it so the rest of us don't have to read it. Particularly since I'm sitting in an airport right now waiting for my delayed flight to board.

As for making this a worthwhile post, it's annoying when posters grab text and then quick reply, so it looks like the person above them wrote it. By the time it's posted they may not be the most recent poster. WTF. Just hit "quote" and trim their post. I post enough retarded stuff without being associated with other people's retardation. It makes me sad that Aloysius is among this group.

I can't [censored] stand when restaurant servers "auction" the food when dropping it off at the table ("Who ordered the chicken? And the steak?")

Hahaha... this is especially funny for me.

I worked at a restaurant after college and NOT having a food auction was HUGE with the managers. We had a little system to identify each customer by seat position on the chits, so whoever ran the food would know who got what.

Now, I had never really noticed one way or the other before this, but after I worked there I started noticing that most restaurants still had the auction.

I related this to my parents, and to this day, more than 15 years later, they still roll their eyes at me and look disgusted whenever we go eat somewhere and there's a food auction. I doubt they ever would have noticed if I hadn't said something.

Any waiter or restaurant doing it that way sucks. Every restaurant I've worked at had the same system to determine who got what, starting from position one going clockwise. It's unbelievably simple.

People who sit directly in front of me on airplanes, and recline their seats the 1/4" possible so they can "relax."

This infuriates you? Just move yours back so you have the same amount of room.

Screw that! What if I don't want to have to spend the flight reclined because some clown in front of me can't realize that there really isn't room to recline if the person behind you wants to sit upright.

When someone tries to fully recline back into me, I just shout a started "Whoa" and slam my hands and knees into the back of their chair.

trucks passing other trucks on a 2 lane interstate. The truck in the right lane going 65, the truck in the left lane going 65.1. Do you think you could just go a tiny bit faster to pass the other truck? meanwhile here i and 50 other people get caught behind him, spending 20 minutes until he finally passes then gets over. Then, I have to wait for every other person in front of me going 66 then 66.2 then 66.5 to pass each other and get in the front of the line in the right lane, until finally i break through to the front and get a blissful 2 miles of driving 75-80 until i get caught behind another truck passing a truck and the process begins over again.

Ever notice how everyone that drives slower than you is an idiot and everyone who drives faster is crazy?

Stores like Best Buy or something who ask for your damn zip-code and/or phone-number when you're making a purchase.

Arrrgh. I never give my real phone-number on those things.
A lot of times I just say, "can we just skip that part?"

Zip-code I guess is fine. But really, I just want to check-out and there are people behind me.
You asking me and then me telling you while you type it in, and then maybe repeat it to me to make sure you heard it right or something ends up just holding up the whole line.

Annoying and somewhat intrusive.
I just want to buy whatever it is I'm buying without having to give you a load of personal information.


Places that ask for your name and address when you are paying cash are even worse.
Screw that. Give me what I freaking bought and let the person behind me step up here to pay for their stuff now.
