If your attitude to food isn't "eat what you like" you are doing it wrong

Didn't think it would be so controversial to want to talk to the people I came with, not the wait staff in the middle of a bite. What am I supposed to invite the waiter to sit down and chat? Is that the rule?

As we all know, these are the only two options

Waiters are people working thankless jobs, be nice to them! We live in a society!!

I don't tell them to gently caress off or anything, I just give a minimal answer and keep eating after they leave. I choose to be nice through tips, not conversation. Trust me, they will get more enjoyment from my money than through talking to me.

the peeve boils down to people talking to me when i'm chewing something, because then you have to chew faster so you can answer (unless you're some barbarian who talks with their mouth full), which is annoying. I jokingly implied that waiters intentionally do this, but I am aware that it's just a coincidence.

I hate it when my router needs to be restarted and I'm on my computer in the absolutely furthest room from the router.

Normally I'd be like oh, I'll just run down and do it real quick, it sucks but life is life. But with a toddler, it's not as easy: either I have to carefully convince her I will be back in just a second, or bring her with me.

It's surreal how many simple things suddenly become an exercise in patience with a child.

Can you restart it over the web? often it has an interface accessible that way (this won't work if it just stopped working, but usually I want to reset to twiddle the external internet link)

Yeah this is how my router thankfully worked in Germany. I could just log in via the local IP (the 192.0.0.1 or whatever thing) and restart it. This was very useful because I lived in an attached apartment to my landlord's house which I had no access to, and the router would poo poo itself like twice a week at least.

To add to this:
If you're on windows, you can go
Windows button + R, type in 'cmd' without the quotes, and run.
(or use the start menu to run CMD or Command Prompt)
Then type in "ipconfig /all", in the command prompt you got.

And your network adapter (like wifi or ethernet.) will have a default gateway.
Very often this will be 192.0.0.1. (Mine is 192.168.0.1), and then just type that into your browser of choice.

The router will generally have a password to get into it's settings, many of them default to logins like admin/admin.
Or Admin/'wifi password here'.

It'll generally say on the router itself, so if you can't logon, there should be a sticker on it noting what login credentials you need to log on.
Then in there, you've got access to all the usual router settings (Network name, port forwarding, etc.), and every router I've ever owned has had an option to just reboot from either the main menu, or from a management submenu.

The fact that there is no objective "spiciness" scale restaurants have to adhere to (scovilles seem completely arbitrary and most places don't even advertise it for their own sauces). If a restaurant has a "911" sauce, it should presumably make me think about calling that number, or at least making me think of that tragedy, but it did neither. It was barely a step above franks red hot. Trying to ravage my insides here.

I'm spiteful only when I think it's deserved, it's no fun doing it for no reason.

For example, I ordered something off grubhub today, it was an 18 dollar order. I pre-tipped 5 dollars because usually they don't mess around and get me what I want. This guy though...he calls me and says he's lost and asks me to go find him outside. I reluctantly do after he feigns not being able to understand english on how to find my door (detailed directions of which were included in the order). I go downstairs and guess who instantly pops out of his car? That guy. Guy just didn't want to climb the stairs.

so I contacted grubhub and canceled the tip, because gently caress that guy. He knew exactly where I was, he just didn't want to climb two flights of stairs.

Pre-tips assume usual service. It's perfectly reasonable to retract it when they gently caress it up. I told grubhub I just wanted to alter it, not cancel it, but they said they refunded the entire thing so I was just like "yeah ok that's fair". If I wanted to go outside I would have driven the 0.9 miles and gotten it myself. If your job is to deliver food, climbing 20 stairs is sometimes part of that job. If you make me do part of your job for you, I'm not going to reward you.

As someone who worked delivery for a long time go gently caress yourself. Its possible this guy was lazy, but there have been countless times when I did delivery for grubhub where they didn't transfer a full address and/or full name to the order slip. I'd rather have the customer meet me outside than go knocking on random doors and potentially have your food stolen by an unscrupulous tenant because the information didnt get transfered to the printout. Don't punish the driver for something that might have been out of their control.

Yeah.

Schopenhauer once wrote an interesting thing where he complained about the sound of horse carriage guys constantly cracking their whips outside of his house and how it pissed him off. What annoyed him wasn't the sound itself so much as the intention behind it, since the guys cracked their whips way more often than was practically necessary, and that felt like an invasion of space (kind of like how people might honk their car horn too often today).

I think this is really true about misophonia. For example, it doesn't annoy me one bit if it's an animal chewing food with their mouth open, or a bird making ticking sounds with its beak or something, but it annoys the poo poo out of me if it's a human doing it, because one is just a natural sound but the other is an intentional sound. It probably stems from some kind of social/group instinct we have that makes us suppress behaviors in others that we do not do ourselves.

Apropos of nothing.
I'm hearing a lot of people saying "and I" incorrectly, assuming that the 'rule' is that you always say "x and I" regardless of context (because a lot of presumably well-meaning but really stupid people actually teach them this), and it annoys the ever-living gently caress out of me.

I was watching television and someone said "Jed and I's date went well".

"I date went well?"

Really?

I date went well, you guys.
