Why do they give you all these nachos and tiny tiny cheese sauce cups? I have so many chips left when the sauce is done

reply

Damn them all to hell!

Do what the cool kids are all doing homie, designate a few pockets for extra cheese storage

I've got gouda, cheddar, sharp Swiss and a brick of Velveeta in my cool guy leather jacket

We should meet up later, you bring the chips and I will spread the cheese...nothing about this sounds weird

Why do they have to change things that were perfectly fine the way they were? Is it people just justifying their jobs? Most often a change in something makes it worse.

For any Aussies here I will state BBQ Shapes as an example, perfectly awesome the way they were, they changed them and revolution nearly broke out, then changed back but they aren't the same as they once were.

reply

Greed. I think they change them because they've figured out a way to make them cheaper - which means they're worse than the original.

reply

People farting in hot trains 😣

reply

I'd like to add to that,

* People eating stinky foods on trains.
* People talking loudly/having inappropriate conversations and arguments on trains.

reply

Agreed, Especially fishy food.

Shops/stores stopping product lines that had become my favorites.

The only large supermarket in easy reach of where I live, and so my default go-to unless I want to travel further, is constantly infuriating me by dropping an item that was the one thing I preferred to buy among the other options. I have now lost count of how many times I had found my favorite this or that, only to find that six months later "Oh we don't stock that anymore, not enough people were buying it."

Funny, but it was always flying off the shelves when I and evidently many others were buying it.

They also say: "Oh we like to keep things interesting by bringing our customers changing choices."

I'm not against new stuff, but what about ALSO the fact that almost all people ALSO develop things they prefer to stick with even if they try new stuff too? I can't be the only one who has a coffee brand or type that's my favorite, or a laundry detergent I'd rather stick with.

reply

It grinds my gears too, when I can no longer find my favorites. I understand they like to offer new choices, but still... I understand that it's also a fight for limited shelf space; something's gotta give but it sure sucks when it's your favorite that disappears.

reply

My friends have started to beg me to not like items they like because if I do it will be discontinued. I started a book years ago that I have called "My Discontinued Life" in which I write everything that I can no longer get.

reply

Why is there such a huge prevalence of women and teen girls on TV and in film wearing heels as if they're comfortable, and no other footwear? It irks me.

reply

This stood out to me: " -- as if they're comfortable"!!!! Exactly. High heels are excruciating, and anyone who claims or looks like their feet are feeling perfectly comfortable is a liar!

reply

And the thing is, every female knows this. Men know it. When women say, "these are actually really comfy!" they really mean, these are less uncomfortable than most heels, which kill my feet just to stand in - so long as I don't have to walk or stand in them for long, though.

reply

Exactly.

reply

...and yet, women still wear them. Why is that?

reply

I honestly don't know. Who can really answer this? Please do.

reply

I have no idea. I certainly don't wear them! Comfort is King for me. I have to walk and cycle everywhere, so you'll never see me in anything but sport shoes or, in the winter, boots with a good tread to the sole. No high heels for me.

My guess about women who still wear them is that they are still caught up in the urge to look attractive, sexy, etc. That instinct is so strong that people will put up with any amount of discomfort or inconvenience. There are women who spend two hours on their hair and makeup every day; women who starve themselves to lose weight; people do things all the time because they feel a societal pressure - even unconsciously - to conform to a look that's considered the more desirable.

reply

Same. I tried on high heels once playing dress up with my ma’s shoes. That was the last time!
I couldn’t agree more with everything you said. I thought these superficial trends would wane eventually, but they have gotten much worse, haven’t they?
I will say, with as much humility as possible, that my legs look damn good in a pair of bare feet.😏

reply

I call 'em "bimbo shoes."

reply

people who stand two inches behind you in grocery checkout lines & breath down your neck.

reply

Yep, it's like tailgating, except it's bum-gating. Or whatever your preferred term for the backside is.

reply

Yes it really is like tailgating!

I hate it - it's especially oppressive-feeling when you're short like I am. People towering over you at a fair distance is bad enough, but when they're right against you and around you it's worse. I notice this all the time in my supermarket.

reply

Aha! I belong to the shorty club too, so I get it! It's very disconcerting.

reply

Also the opposite - people who feel the need to stand 10' behind the next person in line.

reply

I get annoyed when drivers do this - stay two+ car lengths behind. Too often they block access to a turn lane - especially a left turn lane - meaning the guy two cars back has to wait another traffic light cycle to turn.

reply

You have to be kidding? 10 inches is a pretty reasonable bubble for personal space, at least under circumstances where there's no need to be closer. Obviously I'm not talking about a crowded subway train - then of course that's to be dispensed with. But in a place where there's a choice, like taking one's place in a line.... There are studies about this.

I join a line and leave 10 inches of space behind the person in front of me because, for one thing, I'm short, most other people are usually much taller, and if I can at least get to have some distance from them, I don't feel so completely overwhelmed by being literally under their shadow.

I still can't believe there's someone who thinks 10 inches is unreasonable...

reply

10' = 10 feet

reply

That was my random complaint, dammit! 😠

Fine, just fine. New random complaint: when someone else beats you to the punch.

reply

packaging drives me crazy when you can't get the product out of the dumb packaging.

reply

I hate that too remember cds ?

reply

The Giants are bad.

reply

Yes yes they are . So are the leafs

reply

My Steelers suck which is a complaint of mine.

reply

Oh now you’re a Steelers fan ?

reply

always.

reply

You know what is funny about that ? Watching football today we see Ben and Tom and Eli and drew and Aaron and rivers .... last year for the grey beards ?

reply

it has been a good era for quarterbacks.

reply

Then watching the young guys outplay Eli two weeks in a row and drew went down . Tom doesn’t count cause he drinks unicorn blood

reply

Roethlisberger got injured also.

reply

Yes he did . When do we get to play the dolphins

reply

they are brutal

reply

A LOT of products are guilty of this sin. Sometimes you end up damaging the item. Grrrr!

reply

I bought a new wireless mouse yesterday and it took forever and several tools to get it open. I almost threw it up against the wall.

reply

I have a box cutter that I usually revert to using because scissors just won't do it. But ya gotta be careful; one slip and disaster looms!

reply

I recently used a box cutter to slice open the heavily taped top of a box, assuming that there would be more protection beneath - got out the product and found I'd slashed a big scar right into it - it was right under the lid of the box, where things used to be at least a couple of inches down deeper!

reply

they are dangerous.

This particular frustration has not gone unnoticed by Larry David

reply

😄 His first mistake was trying the butter knife. Come on. Gotta use the right tool for the job. 😉

reply

That’s how I have been feeling redoing all the plumbing of my kitchen sink and I even made sure to get all the right tools. Every single interconnect is nearly impossible to reach. Something that should only take 15 minutes takes me hours to do.
