I hate it when I go into a cafe and.....

Mine would be...... I ask for a black coffee and they always give me a little jug of milk.

or.... they offer "Baked" potatoes and they are cooked in a microwave.
Why don't they just tell the truth and say... "Microwaved Potatoes"?

I hate going in to any restaurant that has a sign up that says
"please wait to be seated" when there are lots of empty tables in plain sight, and nobody seems to show up to seat me. I sometimes ignore the sign if I'm made to wait over 3 minutes.

"Microwaved potatoes" doesn't sound as appetizing as "baked"/

One of my pet peeves is paper and Styrofoam cups. Even a lot of otherwise nice places- i.e. good food, nice decor, friendly service, etc- seem to steer clear of actual ceramic cups and actual silverware. Another gripe is when espresso is served lukewarm, in a ridiculously over-sized cup (made of paper or Styrofoam, needless to say.)

In the microwave theme--... they bring hot bread that has been microwaved and it turns to stone in a few minutes.

...they have stupid names for the sizes of their coffee drinks (Starbucks specific)

...their "steamed" milk is boiled until it's dangerous.

When the staff at the tills who are supposed to be taking your order, are too busy talking about what they got up to last night, to notice you stood there in front of them!!

I can deal with just about anything going out for a meal EXCEPT:

Getting an obnoxious/arrogant/ inefficient server.............That just drives me nuts. I've almost walked out a couple times because of it..........Hell, if they don't like their job, why are they working there??????????

Christopher gee, I feel better!!!!
