Things that piss me off

Simple theme... A running list of things I encounter during my day that bug me. I'll write them here, blow off some steam, and move on.

Like the moron today at the local DQ too busy jamming on his own tunes to worry about getting my order right. I blame poor management, if he wants to listed to tunes, he should be doing it on his own time.

Nothing better than buying a large drink, grabbing a straw, and finding out that it's too short when you insert it all the way through the lid and it drops down into the drink. Again, management is no help. They seem to think that it's just fine if the straw can't reach the bottom of the cup.

Cup problems continue... Today, we have a lid that is almost, but not quite, entirely the wrong size for the matching, and I use that term loosely, cup.

It looks like it fits, but looks are entirely deceiving. I demonstrate to the manager by tilting my drink sideways for her and spill soda on the counter as it drips from underneath the lid.

I suggest that she may wish to complain to her supplier, but the blank stare in her eyes leads me to believe that this would be slightly more futile than asking an elephant to take up basket weaving.
