Moved over the weekend, with a full blown cold, so I'm not in the best of moods and home sick today.
1) When moving, do NOT overpack the moving box to "save boxes", all that does is means you can't close the box, which means you can't stack a box on top of it, which means you get less boxes in the van/truck per trip. Yes trying to cram more in means it takes you longer to move.
2) On the day you're set to move in things you don't want to hear from your new apartment manager include "let me try to find your keys, this is a temporary code for the gate it SHOULD work, I know we said your parking space is 36, but apparently that belongs to someone else so instead you get 12." So when you start moving in you discover 36 is the 2nd best spot for moving into your apartment, and 12 is another 150 feet away, and the reason you can't have 36 is other residents got used to it being vacant and keep parking there so it's easier for management to assign you a different space, than to tell everyone else to stop parking in 36. We're challenging that one.
3) When are mattress manufacturers going to figure out where to put the damn handles on mattresses? we had 2, one they were on the wrong part so when you move it longways you have no grip, the other had zero grips at all.
4) that 34 inch tv that looks so great on your tv stand, sucks when you're moving and it weighs 162 pounds.
5)I've probably mentioned this before but why is it that every food place I go into they overstuff the napkin holders so you can't pull out a single napkin without tearing it to shreds? Do they not realize that overfilling it simply makes it harder to get napkins out?
6) Quiznos is on my list of companies that need a wakeup call. My dad pointed this out and it's true, everytime they take out a new piece of bread, they cut off about 2 inches at the end, and throw it away. We asked the girl why they're wasting the bread and she said it's company policy, something about the bread narrows at the end so they cut it off so the sandwich is the same width the whole way. Why not just change the mold so it's all the same width? There are a lot of people in the world who would like to have the last 2 inches of all those pieces of bread you throw away.
7) Why is it the people who are the worst drivers, always insist on backing into parking spaces? it's not all that hard to do but it's amazing how often people who are driving challenged feel compelled to display it for everyone by backing into a parking space. I watched this girl in our new complex 3 times over the last 2 days do it, the first time she nearly hit the pole, the 2nd time she backed up too far and bounced off the curb, the last time she got in so crooked she got back in her car and redid it. I can only assume they're even worse at backing out and that's why they do it?

I hate it when I'm at the grocery store and people block the aisles. They park their cart and they stand and block the remaining pathway with their body as they stare blankly at the shelf.
I don't say anything, I just stand there looking like my time is being wasted which pisses people off.
I had this one lady yell at me at Wal-Mart because I moved her cart out of the way so I could get my cart around it. Geeze lady, it's not *your* cart, it's Wal-Mart's, second, move your ass out of the way

I freaking hate that. Make Louis mad!
Two other problems at the store
1. Express Lanes - when someone with near the limit is ahead of you and your 1 item
2. The people who do not take their carts back after unloading their items into their vehicles. The cart corrals are very easy to walk to if you can't return the cart to the store.
Although I do not mind constantly being asked to retreive items from the top shelves. I'm 6'5" and it never fails to happen every Sunday when I go grocery shopping.
People who get in line at the bank, get all the way up to the teller, and then admit they haven't filled out their deposit/withdrawal slip and expect the teller to do it for them.
The guy who didn't put the lid on my chicken soup correctly so when I got home I had a bowl with no water in it, and my sandwich was soggy.
1. Food preperation workers who don't prepare food like they were making it for themselves. A while back I ordered a steak sandwhich at Quiznos, and got a grisel sandwich. I could just imagine the guy cutting up the steak earlier that day. If he was making it for himself he would have cut off the grisel, but since he wasn't going to eat it he decided that a customer wouldn't mind. (Quiznos used to rule, but their quality has fallen big time)
2. When my change from a transaction is a couple pennies, and the cashier gives me dirty look for waiting for them. Those are my pennies a-hole.
There are still good ones. I think they grew too quickly and don't have enough franchise oversight to ensure uniform quality. They were awesome when they first came out here.

I was at Sonic awhile ago, and the chick asked if I "needed anything else" after I paid for my food & she gave me my stuff. Figuring she meant salt or ketchup or whatever, I said no. She walked away without giving me my change--and I am certain it was deliberate, because she still had my money in her hand, and it was right after I gave it to her. It was only like, 18 cents, but I was so mad. I hate confrontation (not afraid of it--just don't like it), so I let it go. Haven't been back to that Sonic since.

Employees at the Sonic in my town were arrested for drugging some customers.
I can't remember what kind of pills they were, but they crushed them and put them in their Sonic Blasts.
I put Quiznos in the same boat as Chipotle. Great when they started off.....as they've gotten bigger their quality has dropped, and their prices went up.
