Admitting to an anxiety disorder means getting to listen to a bunch of explanations of how you're actually just a drama queen and it's not that bad and everyone worries about things sometimes it's normal and you're overreacting, usually with a side of "doctors overdiagnose things and psych meds either don't work or take away your personality" like, unless the other people also have mental illnesses it is usually not very cool to tell them, most people are assholes about it InediblePenguin has a new favorite as of 20:57 on Feb 10, 2017 |

That is true and possible, but I always think back to the Seinfeld episode where the lady Jerry's dating refuses to try some of his pie and refuses to say why, she just shakes her head. If the person truly cares about you they will accept that you aren't comfortable doing whatever it is, whether it's eating a new thing or something else. I think explaining yourself is a lot better and less frustrating to the other person to just button up and offer no explanation besides "eww".

People who no-call, no-show shifts. I just don't understand. Every single other option is better for the employee and the employer, and yet people still do this. Then they respond to the calls with irritation and defensiveness, or waltz into their next shift with blinking innocence and a stupid story. I almost prefer it when they just never show up again, that at least makes sense.

My pet peeve? Goons getting all weird about people being picky eaters. Picky eaters suck... get over it and shut the gently caress up about it. They're weird and you're weirder for putting effort into it. And now I'm even weirderer for talking about your weirdness. Bunch of loving doo-dahs.

Helios Grime posted:How long have you been a father? My dad is like this with movie theaters. He remembers how in the past you used to always want to get to movies like 30+ minutes early (partly because in older theaters without heavily sloped seating you'd be hosed if someone remotely tall sat in front of you), and won't believe me when I say how you don't have to arrive early at all anymore unless it's the opening weekend of a really popular movie (at least in my city). And even then you usually don't have to get there that early. I guess this ties into a more general pet peeve of people assuming that things always stay the same and what was once common sense will always be common sense.

When the really die-hard Trump fans realize things aren't a utopia like they imagined, they will blame Obama for it. Or Clinton. Or those unpatriotic libtards, and few Demorats in power, who aren't supporting the President like they should. I believe some are already doing that. Hasn't even been a month.

One thing I always get annoyed by is when people judge people based on something that they used to do, or that's irrelevant to the task at hanbd, like a few years ago there was a very "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!" kind of headline about a porn actress who was doing readings at a library. Why whine about that? That's the least objectionable thing she's ever done. Sex videos/pictures were her job, it's unlikely she was bringing her work to the library with her. If she wants to do something child-friendly, good for her. Thinking that she's unsuitable because of her career is like thinking a barman is unsuitable to drive home because surely he must be an alcoholic, or expecting a friend who does tech support to fix your poo poo for free. I'm sure that the last thing she wants to think about when off duty is her sex life, unless she is actually with whoever she may have been actually seeing for real.

I like both parts of the chicken wing. I used to cook them up low and slow over a gas grill and brew my sauce on a side burner. I'd start with a stick of butter and add garlic and franks sauce. Then chunks of jalapeno and habanero. Keep turning wings over fire while basting sauce on. They had some good heat and went well with cold beer and football on tv.

I like the flat wings but they're both good when they're either slow cooked on a barbecue or in the oven... I hate badly cooked drumstick parts cos they're just all grisly and unpleasant instead of having the fat rendered. I'm amazed at how these adult men are more loud and obnoxious than literal children btw. all their beer and weed doesn't seem to help that, either. the people next to us who already have 2 kids now have a newborn and it's quieter than the guys below us. three more months!!!

As a line cook: Expediters who pause after. Every two. Or maybe three. Orders. For example: "Okay, yo rear end is grass, you have one medium steak, one medium rare steak." "Gotcha!" "And another medium steak." "Okay! "And with that first steak I need a side of sautéed mushrooms." "Ok medium steak side mush!" "And then you have a rare steak." "Four steaks all day!" "No you also have one well done." Holy gently caress man, why? Just say "Five steaks, one well, two medium, one mid rare, one rare. Side hot mush." It'll be so much easier if you- "Also you have two chicken burgers coming with that rare steak. So HURRY UP ON THEM!" "Ok firing chicken now!" "Why weren't they already on?! Your steak is going to be overcooked!" "Then let's use it for the medium or well." "They're all on the same bill!" THEN WHY CALL IT LIKE IT'S SEPERATE YOU gently caress? Which brings me to my next peeve: People who work at any sort of casual dining restaurant and think they're Gordon Ramsey, complete with yelling and insulting people. Dude, we're making pub food on a Wednesday night, calm the gently caress down. A girl ran out crying the other night because she was screamed at for "taking too long" to make a salad. The bill was running one minute. And she had other sides to deal with. Plus it was her second day. Final kitchen peeve: "Make this good, it's for [staff member.]" Oh well in that case, I'll make sure it's tasty! I never bothered with anyone else, but since it's for someone who works here I'll try my best! You dick.

I worked family style and banquet for Concordia Language Villages in college for a few years. Yes, it's stressful, but it's also fun. We did some restaurant style but that was rare. Pet peeve in kitchen work is when you can't get your teenage prep cook to move fast. They just stand there and stare. You say, "I need 2 hotel pans of onions medium diced, 1 hotel pan of carrots sliced small and on the bias, one steam pan of green beans in the steamer right after but time them short because I'll finish in the tilt-skillet." All you get is numb silence. A thousand yard stare and no communication. So you tell them to go do dishes and you end up doing it yourself. For 190 people we'd usually have one head chef, one assistant cook (read sous that works on recipes but not ordering), one prep cook, and one blithering idiot teenager.

Stupid narcissistic assholes who post videos on Snapchat when they're loving driving. No one cares how fast your car is going or what song you're playing, just focus on the road and hopefully, if you crash, you don't hurt anyone else. My dad had to take time off work and see a physical therapist because of idiots like you.

I would think Ramsay's over the top personality could work (albeit in a non-enjoyable way) at a fancy restaurant where the chefs should know better regarding basic stuff...but if you're working at like olive garden there's no need to act like you're commanding a "brigade", they are probably all dumb teenagers, you have to hold their hand a little. Even on the US kitchen nightmares if the cook is young and doesn't have an attitude he'll tone it down and try and teach them if they're willing to learn.

My pet peeve of the moment is with Panera Brad's tomato soup. It's not pureed enough; there are chunks of tomato in the thing, which is gross and a sin against our Lord Campbell, who blesses us with tasty, uniform tomato soups. This, part of an overall larger pet peeve of mine, as I'm trying to eat a little better on my lunch breaks, and I could totally live off a cup of soup for lunch... if not for the chunks. Ugh.
