Right around number 21 of my biggest pet peeves is when you order a bagel to go and order it with butter or cream cheese and the jointg doeswnt spread it on for you.
Is it really that hard to have the tub of butter or cream cheese and smear it on for me in two swoops rather than make me open an individual package in the car and fumble around with a flimsy knife and get the crumbs all over the car.
You take a process that should take the server all of 3 seconds and turn it into a minute long awkward process.
Perhaps it doesn’t annoy others but it’s one of mine.
What are some little things that bug the hell out of you.
(and I’ll preemptively write out Paulie Walnuts pet peeve-
I hate it when Joey whines about little annoyances)
Good Morning Gloucester 
Ya’ gotta’ say, “With a schmear” !

I have to comment here because i used ask for them to put it in for me, however I must say what are they thinking when they put so much on that it is oozing through the middle of the bagel and down the sides, There is a line between a smear and a violation of condiment, I stopped asking for pre smeared bagels because of the horrible over load. I am guessing that they thought they were doing me a favor. However have you ever asked for peanut butter or jelly with your bagel? Try that and see how much extra it costs you just to get a decent smear from those tiny cups. Yes complain rant and rave I am with ya !

pet peeve –
incompetent grocery baggers!!
I know it’s petty and trivial, but it annoys the heck out of me!
Putting the bags of frozen vegetables with the boxes of pasta – really? I want my pasta boxes to get soggy, thanks. Also, why can’t you keep ALL of the frozen stuff together? Put the ice cream in the bag with the frozen veggies! really, it’s a no brainer. How about throwing produce in wih the canned stuff? Thanks, I wanted my red leaf lettuce to get crushed and my apples to get bruised from the cans. I also love it when they put ANY food in with the dish soap or any cleaning chemicals. Makes total sense. Why don’t you stop yapping with the cashier and pay attention to the bagging? It’s really not that hard and maybe you could focus a bit more on what’s going in my bags……………… I always end up re-bagging when I get to my car. don’t they train these people?

Just like anything, some stores train better than others. Market Basket seems to do pretty good.

I have to agree with the grocery bagging! It drives me insane!!!!!!!!!!!! I place my grocerys onto the counter grouped the way I want them bagged…and they still seem to place 1/2 gallon of juice in the same bag as my freshly baked Hot bread SERIOUSLY ? I prefer to bag my own and have no problem asking the bagger to do it my way, after all the service is provided to help the customer!

My dog is pretty much the only one that gets to hear me whine anymore. (Many are grateful to my dog!) So, thanks, Joey for this cathartic experience. 1. Being called “you guys” (in mixed company) by a server in a restaurant; 2. someone responding to “thank you” with “no problem”; 3. when an interviewer thanks the interviewee and the interviewee says “thank you” instead of “you’re welcome”.
Wow. That felt good.
This is confidential, right?

I’m not much of a bagel person so can’t comment there; however, I WAS going to mention grocery baggers who have the I.Q. of a gnat. Seems Meg and Sista have pretty well covered it for me. I, too, just love it when my box of Cheerios smells like scented dryer sheets, or the doz. eggs which I’d checked for cracks arrives home broken. I always tell them to put the refrigerated items together, (which is the way I place them on the counter) and sometimes they actually get it right. I hear ya, Sista Felicia.
Oh, when was the last time your restaurant server made an error on your bill in YOUR favor? Just asking.

Well all I can say is if that is your biggest annoyance in life, things must be pretty damn good. So stop whining and give thanks. There are people in the world who don’t have a bagel to eat or groceries to go into a bag – just sayin. You’re on vacation, chill and enjoy all of it, even the crumbs.

How do you know they didn’t sneeze on your cheese? After seeing that picture Joey posted of the gross salad bar, I’ll take the hermetically sealed cream cheese then pull over at the foot bridge and practice safe spreading.
