I'll tell you what grinds my gears!

Dumb people going through the Driv-Thru at fast food places.

So I'm behind this guy at Arby's today. He gets to the speaker to order...

Arby's: How can I help you?
Dumba$$: Yeah, I'd like a #3
wait 10 seconds.....
Arby's: What would you like to drink?
Dumba$$: I'll take a tea.
Wait 10 seconds...
Arby's: Sweet or un-sweet?
Dumba$$: Sweet
Arby's: Do you want curly fries or homestyle fries?
Dumba$$: Curly.
Arby's: Anything else?
Dumba$$: Yes, I'd like a #5 also......

And they repeat this same SLOW process!?!?

Why cant the guy just say...
"I need a #3 with a sweet tea and curly fries, and a #5 with bla bla bla."?!?!

It really grinds my gears when people take for ever to say somthing that they could say in one sentence!?!?! Specially when Im in a HURRY!?!?!

And that's what grinds my gears.

 

where's kobi's pics of the zoloft when you need them??

 

Except what happens then is the people inside didn't understand most of what you said and screw up your order, or you have to repeat yourself four times so they can push the right buttons.

 

This reminds me of my bud back in high school.

We were out to lunch and in the A&W drive through. They have a pretty loud speaker and can evidently pick up ambient noise pretty well.

We were behind some guy who was at the speaker and just as he was ordering, my friend in the driver's seat yells out in his best Cheech voice, "Yeah I'd like a number 4 man!!" The orderer picked up on it and asked what kind of fries he wanted. The poor guy never had a chance to get what he really wanted!

 

They don't call it FAST food for nothing.

 

My beef is sort of the opposite. I'll usually know exactly what I want, how I want it and be ready to order. However, the person taking the order keeps interrupting me to ask me stuff that I was in the middle of telling her.
Example, at Burger King:
Her: May I take your order?
Me: Yes, I'd like a #1 with ch...
Her: Would you like cheese with that?
Me: Let me start over, I'd like a #1 with cheese, no onions, medi...
Her: Do you want to supersize that?
Me: No, and I'll have a ***...
Her: And what do you want to drink with that?
Me: A Coke, and that's all.
Her: Do you want an appl...
Me: NO, I said THAT'S ALL.
Her: Cash or credit?
Me (sobbing quietly) cash...

 

"Annn dennnnnnn......"

 

Me: I'd like a #6 with coke, REGULAR SIZE, <pause> a number 4 ...with coke, regular size and...a spicy chicken sammich. And that's all.


Them:Okay, I've got a #6,....what do you want to drink with that? Argh, yeagads, It ought to be legal to shoot stupid MFers like that! WTF were they doing when I methodically ordered everything?

 

I like the people who hurry to the counter at McDonald's then stare at the menu like there's going to be something new...










10min later... Still staring...
