Things that annoy you

[deadheadskier]

Folks are groaning down here, too, I hear it from industry friends of mine. Low end is actually holding its own since more will flock to cheap eats and drinks to cut back. I'm glad I got out in '01.

the mid level guys seem to be struggling the most. The luxury spenders are to a point somewhat resilient to the bad economy, but my guys are feeling it, 80% of them are down from last year and some in a big way. as you said low end places today are managing to stay busy, but making far less profit than a year ago. two big staples for small places, flour and fryer oil both cost upwards of four times as much as they did a year ago

I was just talking to someone today and they're friend works for Frito Lay. They're business is BOOMING right now. Guess folks are eating chips and salsa at home instead of out at restaurants

Truly Annoying

You're annoyed by every member of AZ, including yourself?

Maybe it is all of the members with 0 posts next to their names. Seriously, Who signs up to a Forum but never posts anything? You can lurk and read stuff just fine wothout registering.

I've got a Frito Lay Plant that in the town between where my office is and the town that I live in, and my patients who are employees of Frito Lay are saying the same thing, that they're adding workers to every shift right now.

The only thing that I hate about that Frito Lay plant is it's less than 1/2 mile from one of the tracks that I run at, and when the prevailing NW wind that is common to my area is blowing and you're excercising at that track, all you smell is potato chips! Many times after running a few miles there I find that I have a serious craving to stop at the convienence store on the way home and pick up a bag of chips

I can see how that would be problematic! :drool:

Signatures that are longer than the average post.

Agreed, they should have smaller font sizes.

ROFLMAO
I posted in the wrong thread, because I noticed a signature that was intensely long.

Realizing that I haven't been to the gym/pool in at least a month and the few bike rides I've taken haven't amounted to a hill of beans. I guess I milked that chest cold for all its worth.

West Coasters?

Our company meetings are pretty funny. Got the Californians sitting around with their starbucks and the folks in London and Amsterdam drinking beers. And we just want the meeting over so we can go to lunch.

Suckage.

I now hate tv news. FEAR AND DEATH, FEAR AND DEATH. What does a car accident in the city have to do with anything?

Were you buzzed when you started this thread?

Moe is buzzed like 60 percent of the time..but I'm buzzed more than that..at least today..

 

[Trekchick]

OK, I know I'm gonna get clobbered for this one, but it's gotta be said. Women standing around giving advice during a DIY project.

I resemble that!

I also hate it when I'm doing a project and my husband takes over, assuming I'm 'doing it wrong'.

 

[Trekchick]

if your job requires you to be on call does that make you a "call girl"?

A girl who knows her shit. Literally!

Congrats! I think that's 4 threads that turned "shitty" at the same time. Is that a record, Greg?
