What's your pet peeve in RL?

To be honest this is why "Friends With Benefits" is a stupid idea and people who think it will never lead to the inevitable consequences are in denial.

Firewind, I think you have just worked in shitty restaurants.

Women. Just... women.


I was fine with "friends with benefits," then you had to go and drop the "I really have feelings for you" bomb on me.

Now I'm not sure which move is the right one.

That is why I don't do friends with benefits. It usually ends up being like that in the end, or some times gets worse, because they could be friends with benefits with some one else, and get a STD from them, and then give it to you with out them knowing.

So I would never do that. I think its also immoral to have sex outside of marriage as well, but then again, everyone does it.

Those are some pretty fucked up views on women.

I'm only talking about women that are like that. I know not all women are like that, but where I live, quite a few are, and none care about anything. Yes, there are some very, very nice women here, and just their attitude and personality are so beautiful its like "Wow, why aren't there more women like you?"

I used to work as a chef and waiters/waitresses are the biggest waste of space you will ever have to deal with and nine times out of ten treat you worse than the customers.

If they aren't stealing from tip jars or bailing way before closing time to leave you stuck clearing up, they're spending way too much time arsing around and talking and some god awful reality TV show nobody gives a shit about while there's usually a huge queue of people waiting to be shown to a table or waiting to be served. Bar staff are just as bad as well and are probably even worse for going AWOL at the worst fucking times.

Meanwhile the people in the kitchen are not only stuck under piles of order from customers who can't seem to comprehend that because their order is order number fifty in the list, they might be in for a long wait for food. If we dare to fuck around or chat to each other we get bitched at by the manager or even the fuckwits we have for waiting staff. Bonus fucktard poitns for the waiting staff if they don't bother to TELL the customers that they will be in for a long wait. Sometimes even if the restaurant's empty looking we might be rushed off our feet back there for another reason.

Then they come running into the kitchen and expect us to drop what we are doing and deal with customers very they likely pissed off, causing us to further delay customer's orders and get people riled up even more. If someone is complaining fetch the fucking manager or head chef, don't come to me when I'm trying to cook meals for two families while trying to avoid overcooking their food and burning myself horribly.

Oh then you have the lazy ones who have no idea what a chef yelling "Service!" and placing a group's meals out to be taken to a table means and spend ages fucking around and chatting about some god awful reality TV show. Then they start acting butthurt when a customer complains about their food being cold.

Seriously, nobody who has ever had to work with them gives a shit about the waste of space that are waiting staff. Nine times out of ten, it's their own damn fault for customers exploding at them. Every now and then you will have someone who actually has half a brain and knows how to handle customers but usually it's some stupid teenager whose first response to a complaint is "Ohhh I'll see what I can do..." or seem to think that telling someone that "We are very busy right now so it might take a very long time to get food" is like telling a customer to "Fuck off, go fuck yourself and never come back or I will rape your entire family". Pay is no excuse either. Guess what? I'm a chef who gets it in the arse for your screw ups and I get minumum wage too. Stop fucking around and do your job.

Know what has happened when I've had to personally come out and explain to a family that the chefs are swamped? I'd say 95% of them were cool about it and either were fine with being patient or thanked me and left to go somewhere else (usually another restaurant owned by the same company anyway so it's not as if we're losing business). It's only a tiny minority of people who are truly dickish about being told that they might have to wait for their food.

This is why I like smaller places where the people cooking are the ones taking the orders and you can see their progress because you are like 1m away from where they are. Plus you get all kinds of treats and extras that way since it's more personal.

It's why I don't go to chains, mostly.

Holidays depress me.

Sounds like you have a rare disorder called being a buzz-kill.

All of them?

Well I guess the ones that just celebrate some dead guy's birthday with a day off from work don't really elicit any reaction.

I'm not a big fan of awareness months. Did you know October is fried chicken awareness month? Not a moment goes by when I'm NOT aware of some fried chicken.

[Squiggs]

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I didn't see Fried Chicken Awareness Month on this site, but I did see:

National Chicken Month--September 1-30
National Fried Chicken Day--July 6

This amazes and saddens me at the same time.

Honestly I think cheating should be punishable by a baseball bat to the kneecaps.
