i think the phrase "pet peeve" is one of my biggest pet peeves, along with "my bad".

i don't know what it's like. teach me.

ah yes. brian. just wait until you have a child. until then, you don't know what it's like to get "you'll know soon enoughed."

I'm pretty sure I read here that Mr. Orchard has four kids, according to russ or greg. How he keeps his cool demeanor with all those children running around, stymies me.


salut! brian orchard's four children.





pop filters and cheesy breads,

i had a pet peeve once, but i forgot to feed it and it died.

Was it a Cold Stone Creamery? Ugh.
"I'd like coffee ice cream, medium size please"
"A Love It?"
"Uh, yeah, a medium"
"A Love It?"
"Yeah, Love It, whatever."

And then they all have to sing if you tip them. It's horrifying. Boyfriend threw his leftover change into the jar and said "Dude, please, don't sing" and the kid behind the counter said "but we have to" and proceeded with the noxious song. That place frightens me, and after two spoons of the sticky sweet dense stuff, your pancreas wants to crawl out of your navel in search of an easier job.

I get really antsy when people park in the left lane on the freeway, but really shouldn't complain too much since it really isn't necessary to go 80 everywhere I go.

Don't really mind people who whisper in public places, way better than people who talk way too fucking loud, or cackle laughers.

Also, people who ask me why I didn't buy a Harley. "um, because I like riding my motorcycle?"

jesus christ. they are ALL like that?

i will never enter one again

ok, i forgot this one. i may have mentioned it elsewhere. starbucks, at least the one by my work, won't let me order a 'black' iced coffee. they insist on calling it 'unsweetened.' as if 'sweetened' was the default.

Saying "I'll have" when ordering at a restaurant. I think "I'd like" is more polite.

I've eaten with, and overheard, people who say "I'll TAKE a..."

So American.

Yep. Sad to say...

I made the mistake of getting the 'love it' size, which is more ice cream than you would ever need in your life. Even the small size they pack to the brim.

What happened to locally-owned coffee shops?

Definitely better the second time around!

I absolutely fucking hate it when people downtown use those gigantic golf-course umbrellas when it's raining. I fight the morning crowds coming from Union Station and the Ogelvie Center, and it never fails that suburban folks for some reason need to use the world's largest umbrella...like they're fucking Christo or something....like, since they can't bring their leviathan-ass SUV downdown, they'll do the next best thing and bring an umbrella that creates a 6' diameter "poke your goddamn eyes out zone" around them. Drive a normal fucking car and carry a normal fucking umbrella for Chrissakes!

I'd also like a license to kill everyone who insists on sitting in the aisle seat on the bus or train when the window seat is open, and won't move over or let anyone into the empty seat. To think that you can't have anyone sitting next to you...like they're gonna get ass-raped or catch fucking leprosy or something if they share the adjacent seat with another commuter. If you won't share a seat, then stand the fuck up, and don't prevent others from enjoying a comfortable ride home you selfish fuck! Grrrr!
