My wife's birthday is Valentine's Day so everything we do for her birthday is always jacked up in price.

Same*. Though, we have an agreement that we don't celebrate V-Day so it evens out.
*same weekend, not same day.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
so along the lines of sharing foods, this one is completely irrational, but it bugs me to no end. When we go through a drive through on our way home from somewhere (literally 3-5 minute drive from Wendy's to our front door), as soon as the food is in the car and we're pulling out of the parking lot, she opens the bag and starts munching on fries. It really gets me angry and I have no idea why. I could easily grab a few myself, but I don't and I always end up saying something along the lines of "can you just wait until we get home?" I don't know why it bothers me so much, and thus it's very irrational, but I guess my thought is, if we're going to eat in the car, then let's eat it in the car, if we're going to eat it at home, then let's eat it at home, but even that isn't much of a rational excuse.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I don't understand going out on Valentine's Day for the sake of it being V-Day. Restaurant service will generally be horrible, crowded, etc. I'd much rather go out the weekend before and enjoy a nice, quiet night out.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
We wouldn't if it wasn't her birthday (as you said, for the sake of it being V-Day). Mine is the 17th so we've just put them together since 2002. This will be the first time in 13 years that I've done something for her just because its her birthday. She also hates the color pink because of the same reason.shafnutz05 wrote:I don't understand going out on Valentine's Day for the sake of it being V-Day.

I guess I think I know why I hate it because I am a strong believer in the "order of operations" of eating food. Like if I have an entree and fries I always eat my entree before I eat my fries. People who eat fries before their entree annoy me and yeah, I know it's completely irrational.

Well my car is immaculate, i dont like food being eaten in it because its messy. As far as someone else eating in isolation, it kind of mills the social component of eating a meal, even though this scenario is fast food.

The revolving door is not a carousel or a play toy.
If there are other people trying to enter or especially leave, get the **** out of the way or have the courtesy to pull your kids away from the door when others are trying to leave.

Be honest, you're worried she's hogging all the fries.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I know it's not irrational but... The unavailability of anyone to ring you out at Macy's or similar large Department stores. I suppose the point is that if it is hard to find a clerk you will continue to browse, maybe? Or they are just poorly managed.
I just want to pay for these socks for cryin out loud.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I actually prefer my fries to be kinda crispy, so when I get fries from the drive through I usually open the bag by default. Otherwise the heat creates steam which makes the fries go all squiggly.blackjack68 wrote:It's rational because she's letting the heat out of the bag!count2infinity wrote:so along the lines of sharing foods, this one is completely irrational, but it bugs me to no end.

The real issue is that Wendy's fries aren't very good.

What are they thinking. I like their burgers and the chicken sandwich and the chili. But fries aren't even fries, more like potatoes that look like fries. And what's with the damn skin on!?

All fast food fries are better with 1/10th of the salt. Not to mention how much healthier it is

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Yeah, I love Wendy's but my God, their fries are awful. Just because it's ALL NATURAL SEA SALT doesn't mean I want it dumped all over my fries. I actually tend to favor BK over Wendy's, and mainly because I enjoy BK's sandwiches now and their fries are vastly superior.

If you're eating fast food fries, are you that concerned about health? Lol

It's my go to for hair product. Takes a little bit of getting used to as it's not exactly like gel, more of a cream or wax. But when it sets it doesn't get crusty like gel, and there's not much shine with it either.
I completely agree with c2i. Its a great hair product that has led to some compliments because it makes your hair look more natural, yet still stylized.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I don't understand some people. I go outside in a thick, warm, skiing coat that goes halfway down my thigh and with a collar up to my nose, all wind and water proof... so warm it has ventilation openings under my armpits.... and I see all these people run around in hoodies or sweatshirts or thin autumn jackets and you can tell they have like 5 layers under. Don't people have money for a decent winter coat anymore!?

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Before I even moved up here I bought a giant North Face McMurdo Parka. The thing is like wrapping yourself inside a nuclear reaction. I've worn it once because it's a mofo to move around in. I usually wear an old Adidas hooded jacket when I shovel snow. I'm going skiing this weekend so I'll get a second use out of it, so that's something.
