Ramblings about the Holiday for the Rest of Us – By FestivusWeb.com
My grievance is that I can’t air my grievances at home! My husband is a grumpy old man and even the slightest hint of criticism, however well deserved (and trust me, it is well deserved!), and he goes into a grumpathon that can last for more than a week. *Ugh*
Is it just me or is restaurant service going downhill?
Over the past week, I went to a restaurant a few times and on two occasions, service was intolerably slow. Last Sunday, I was at Boston Pizza with a friend of mine. Service was unbelievably slow! From what I was told, there was a problem in the kitchen and the restaurant was understaffed. It didn’t help that there were a lot of people and we sat next to a table with a bunch of rambunctious kids. Oh, and the TV reception was poor. Interestingly enough, it was only my second time going to Boston Pizza. First time in 17 years, believe it or not. I was 15 back then, now I’m 33. Will my next trip there be when I’m 50 or 51? It wasn’t even our original choice. We wanted to go to Mike’s, but it closed early for a Christmas party! There were other restaurants we could’ve gone too. What a waste of an evening.
Secondly, this past Friday, I was at Barbie’s Resto Bar and Grill for an office party with my work. There were probably over 100 people. Maybe the amount of people that were there could prove as a justification as to why the service was slow, but the restaurant was not understaffed. From what one of my colleagues (and former teachers) told me, the restaurant wasn’t prepared for such a big group. Despite that, I enjoyed the party. I just wish I could’ve stayed there longer and kept dancing with the other guests. Personally, I didn’t care too much about the food. I cared more about the atmosphere, which was positive.
Lastly, I went to Madison’s last night for a friend’s birthday. We were supposed to go to Sesame, but another friend of his, who was also there, didn’t like Asian food, so we went to Madison’s instead, which is where we went last year! It wasn’t even his other friend’s birthday! The food was alright, but our waitress was a little absent-minded. I asked for a glass of milk with my dessert, but she didn’t bring it the first time. Don’t like having dessert without milk!
So, when you really think about it. Very slow service+understaffed restaurants+incompetent waiters/waitresses=crappy service all around.
Argentina winning the FIFA World Cup!
I got a lot of problems with you people and now you’re gonna hear about it on the 25th anniversary of Festivus’ unleashing upon the world. Underwood, I tell you, your company stinks! You put image ahead of quality and you couldn’t prepare anything if you had a hot date with a babe… I lost my train of thought. Serenity now! SERENITY NOW!
You know what I got one. I was trying to post/think of something funnier earlier, but blah I am going with this. So people have lived upstairs before and they were quiet. For like a damn year now this person upstairs stomps loudly in what has to be combat boots upstairs and there are strange thuds too. I’d rather hear someone talking loudly than this crap. At least that could be interesting.
Does this person not know how to walk like a normal person in their apartment and not stomp their feet everywhere!?! How hard is it to walk room to room and me not hear where this person is at all times. This is ridiculous! Serenity NOW!!!!!!
I really can’t stand it when people unknowingly act too lazy and too incompetent to put shopping carts in shopping cart corrals in the parking lots of supermarkets and numerous other shopping franchise locations,especially during any season like Spring,Summer,Autumn also known as Fall,and Winter. I am very disappointed in how people had been treating shopping carts. Leaving shopping carts all over the parking lot?,…Stealing shopping carts and then using them for their own selfish and uncaring desires?,…That really makes me not only feel hatred towards Humanity every now and then AND like an alien,…IT REALLY MAKES ME SICK! It’s NOT that hard to get some exercise,and to go put a shopping cart away in a cart corral after the shopping is done,you know. Curse you,Humanity!,…Sometimes,just sometimes,you DISGUST me.
And with that,I have aired MY grievances. I’m done. “Have a nice,…day.”
Why is it that the people in the back of the elevator are the first ones to get off? I you’re on a lower floor, stay by the door!
Slow ass drivers in rush hour traffic! Ya you heard me, mom in The Mini Van.
Also people who stand so far back in the coffee line up that you want to push them forward. Maybe that’s just me.
I am sick of these companies doing away with user manuals. I don’t want to go to your crappy website. So basically you are forcing me to have access to the internet to learn how to program my coffee maker.
Stupid people! That’s all. Just stupid people. Now that that’s aired, let’s discuss stupid people.
Why do people lie so much and then pretend that they did nothing wrong.
Scammers who call at 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning, from “your electric company”/”your TV provider”/”debt elimination”/”Medicare”, trying to get my credit card number or Medicare ID number. No soup for them!
I have been an HR Coordinator for 25 yrs. It would be a great job if I didn’t have to deal with employees. I am tired of hearing about their problems.
Why are bananas so damn expensive? It’s bad enough ima throw them away, let alone at $1.00 a pound!
Im disappointed, once again, in the fact I must buy presents for 9 nieces and nephews and get zero, zilch, nada, in return. Its not cheap being an uncle these days.
People who blow their noses in restaurants.
People who stop their car behind you because they want to take you parking spot. How am I supposed to get out? I know you moved back about 3 feet but I’m still not budging.
My landlord picks his nose. I think he is wiping it on my door, but I can’t prove it.
The rent is to dam high!
I got a lot of problems with you people who ho to events and meetings when you’re sick and you cough your viruses all over me. Stay home. You’re not really that necessary.
Hey, they may be sick but that doesn’t make them “ho’s.” Some of them might even be celibate…
