The..."what you dislike thread!"
This thread is to list anything you dislike that you run into in everyday life that is irritating in any way,shape or form.I have tons of things I could list,but can't think of everything at one time.Please feel free to list away!

1.At the restaurant...bad server service and then they expect a tip!No,I will not give a tip if they never come around and ask me if I want a second cup of coffee or they shoot the breeze with coworkers and never check back with me even one time.Once a male server complained to me that I did not leave a tip.I said to him...you owe ME a tip!He went on to say that thats how he makes a living through his tips.I responded:Well,then you better find another kind of job buddy!And I went on to say that there is no state law requiring me to leave a tip...so if you want to call the police..please do,or don't you have the b's?After he did not answer and I said..."I thought not"!

2.The programmed retarded response at a drive through or at the supermarket:
Me:I'll have a Big Mac extra value meal with a medium coke,and that will be all.
Order takers response:Is that the value meal or just the burger?
Me:I told you value meal already!
order takers response:what sized drink?
My response:None... and I leave the line driving across the street to Burger King!

See..its not that the order taker did not hear me the first time,but some of the employees are "programmed" for absolutely no possible variation in how an order sequence in their minds is supposed to occur in sequential order!In other words,if I say..."Value meal" first instead of letting them ask if I want a value meal,they have feebly preprogramed their mind to not interpret simple plain english!!!I ask myself...no wonder some of these people have minimum wage jobs!Do you think this same person would be able to survive in say,a manufacturing environment where there are constant fluctuations and variables in process's,supervisor orders and more?probably not...so go back to the fryer!

B:At the supermarket:The checker is ringing up all my food items,I usually only have 5 or 6 items...i'm not a big shopper,since I go out to eat alot.I tell them outloud while they are doing the simple bar code scanning and right at the last item being scanned:"That will be debit and I have no gas card". 3 seconds later the checker says..."will that be debit or credit":?And "do you have a gas card"?Ha ha! See,its not that they did not hear me... and what kind of mega concentration is needed to place a soup can by the scanner?Well here we go again...a one track mind that cannot interpret the slightest thing that would vary from the way they programmed themselves.Join the guy at the fryer i'm thinking!Once,after repeating myself 2 times with a checker,I said,sorry,I forgot my card(even though I had it in my pocket).Then I left the store with the bagged items still on the counter and never returned.

More to come from me,but got to leave now!

3.Lets see.How about the mac machine?Now how many times do you wait behind someone at the teller machine...and wait and wait and wait?Its like,the person in front of you is doing some kind of major business deal at the machine.First they got to check their balance,then they scan through different accounts,then they decide to deposit an envelope,then they are talking on their cell while making their transaction,then they have maybe two cards and since the first one did not have enough money in it,they use their other card and have to redo another card,with a different pin,ect ect ect ect!!!!!I'd like to go up to that person and with a huge 2 foot long scissors...cut their cards up into confetti!!!!

Now,it always takes me like 30 seconds to go up and get my money out and leave...period!End!
I don't need to check my balance since I do that either on my phone or my computer ahead of time before I go up to a teller machine.If a cash deposit is going to be made by me,I have already taken a few home the week before,so i'm ready when I get up to the machine and in 30 seconds...transaction done!If people had a bit of common courtesy..they would go INSIDE the bank where their are usually several human tellers and do their long business...instead of wasting peoples precious time in the express outside automated teller!

4.Personal checks at the supermarket.This sucks!!!!I cannot believe in this day and age that people still use a personal checks at the supermarket when every bank that I know gives you a debit checking account card....which is the same as a personal check.Infact,checks usually cost $$ so why use them up?Even people on social security and food stamps these days have cards!!!!Then on top of it,the check writer writes out the check and many times when the checker asks for a licence,the check writer says..."oh,I left it in my car!"Then more waiting and waiting and waiting!!!!!!!I've already left my shopping cart with the food in it(and frozen goods as well)right there and walked away going to another supermarket...seriously!!!!Let the check writer put it away for wasting the 10 people behind him now standing in a long line due to this fool.

5.People at Walmart standing in the middle of the isle not letting others get through!
Did these people(or person) ever hear of something called "common courtesy"?Yes,its like they own the isle...not looking around them or behind them to see if someone "might"want to get passed them.theres room for two carts to get through the isle,but they want to take up the WHOLE isle by keeping their cart right in the middle!Not a care in the world.Yes,just keep socializing with your boyfriend or chatting nonsense on your cell,while I patiently wait for you to move.Sometimes they see me,but STILL will not even consider moving!Oh,so i'm supposed to ask you to move?No thats stupid!Now move fool!One time, after the woman had seen me waiting ,she did not move an inch and I waited their patiently for a full minute.Then I went over to her shopping cart,picked up the front end moved it 10 inches towards the shelf and slammed it down a bit on the floor again.The I proceeded to push my shopping cart gently through slowly... with not a care in the world...just like her!!!!And never looked back once!Thats right...call the manager I was HOPING!!!

6.What do people have to drive in clusters?I have noticed something on roadways in Pa and NJ.No matter what speed you do,someone has to come up from behind you and either tailgate or "pace"you at say a 3 or 4 car distance.Now I always drive about 5 to 10 miles an hour OVER the speed limit.I do this simply because I do not want people on my rear end.And if I come up to someone in front of me doing exactly the speed limit...well,thats fine and ok.I never get near that front car,staying way,way back.But think about this.In order for that guy that was behind me a mile to be able to catch up to me,he would have had to do 20 MPH over the speed limit,right?Now this is what I call a "cluster driver".Some people MUST drive with others in a group.They are uncomfortable just driving "alone",isolated and by themselves!!!!Ridiculous!!!Also,if I leave any kind of decent "space"between the car infront of me and myself(like say 6 car lengths on a road that you cannot pass on)...the driver behind me gets mad because i'm not 3 car lengths behind that driver like he normally drives like!!
Now lets think about this fool behind me:He cannot pass and I cannot go faster than the guy in front of me.So whats the difference if I keep a nice safe distance of 6 car lengths or 3 car lengths?will that get the 3rd driver to point "B"any sooner??????Of course not!!!!!So,this is what i call an idiotic "cluster driver"!!!!He MUST drive with people in a precise designated measured diatance,he cannot simply back off 10 or even 15 cars lengths.If you are going at the same speed as the two cars in front of you,backing off a few car lengths will not change the amount of time its going to take you to reach that store 3 miles down the road!!!!
Cluster drivers.....a bag of roofing nails thrown out of my car might back him off a bit!!!!

Improper gym etiquette:
I've been going to Gyms since 1979.So i've seen it all.Equipment hogs and weight and plate slammers.I'd like to take them all in front of a 10th degree black belt and have them all mercilessly beat into a pulp!So lets begin....
You have the fool that thinks he "owns"that piece of equipment.He's going to do his 3 or 4 sets(or more),then he rests in between sets like 4 minutes(Dumb),and on top of that instead of staying with the machine and keep seated,he walks around the gym,chatting with someone on the other side of the gym,screwing around with his phone.Then I or someone else comes over to that piece of equip and begins to change the pin settings on the machine and goes to sit down to do a workout....and this dude comes over and says..."hey I have 2 sets to go yet,i'm on the machine!"

I say,no your not,when you get up and walk away,its not your machine anymore...now you wait for me!!!!And i proceed to do like 100 reps very slowly and take all the time in the world,on purpose!

Stick with your machine and if someone wants to "cut in"fine!But don't think its your machine to get up and socialize,gets gulps of water(do that before you get on the machine)and then expect to finish because your finally done talking to that pretty woman for 6 minutes!

Then you have the plate slammers!No wonder the gym equip needs repair all the time!With the machines when your doing "reps",your NOT supposed to keep banging or even letting those plate weights that you selected with the pin touch each other!Your supposed to go up and down with the handles or side to side and you'll see the plates move up and down...but do not keep hitting the plates together.It can weaken the cables and springs in the equip!Plus that momentary "rest" your giving yourself when you put the plates together is actually a form of "rep cheating"...since you have zeroed your rep resistance to zero in that second of rest...a no no!

And lastly,the plate slammers on the floor!Yes,you know the big dudes that scream like man being tortured with a thousand needles and then on his last rep...throws the dumbells down on the floor so loudly it gives that older woman two machines down a heart attack!No need for this bad gym nonsense and bad gym etiquette!Lets see,you more of a man now,by proving to everyone that you lifted that 250 pound weight and need attention by slamming it down on the floor ?No,what you need is a tennis ball with Raid insecticide on it,place in your mouth and duct taped to your face!Now have a bit of manners next time!!!

And one more thing about people that work out like clowns:

Envision this scenario:2 identical machines.On the left is a row machine and the weight is set at 150 pounds in plate weight.There is a pad to rest your chest on.On the right is a row machine set at a 100 pounds in plate weight with an identical pad to rest your chest on.
The guy on the left machine is grunting and groaning pulling back those row bars,yanking his whole upper body back and OFF of the pad looking like a see-saw act....but he's pulling that entire 150 pounds back.Now comes the other guy.He is pulling only a hundred pounds back,but he is doing it nice and smoothly and not letting his chest leave that pad.

So who is actually working out better,and is actually body building better?You got it...the one who is NOT cheating the movement!The guy on the left was not actually pulling back that whole 150 pounds with his shoulders,but he was using his ENTIRE upper torso to pull back that weight.So no,he might have been only pulling back a 100 pounds,but with his torso and not really giving his shoulders the full workout!

The key is to use less weight,not more and get eventually stronger without letting your chest leave that pad.Then slowly add more weight without cheating.These are the same dudes that end up slamming the weights down on the machine,because they are lifting or pulling back more than they can actually handle.Where's that 10th degree black belt or the tennis ball with the insecticide?These dudes need the treatment!Dummies!

Getting calls from salespeople even when i'm on the state and national do not call list!
This sucks of course and I can file a complaint and possibly win money in court but I doubt its all worth the time and legal effort.

But,do you ever gets calls on your cell where some collection agency is looking for another person who is obviously not you,but that agency thinks that you may very well be that person of interest because they may have been given your cell # by that person OR who may have possibly owned your cell number a few years ago before you bought your phone?

I get those once in a while.And whats worse is there is no "automatic"way to stop some of those calls...they continue sometimes for weeks or months every day!Once I answered the call and the automated voice(not a live human) said:Are you (then this persons name).If you are Mr......,then please press 1. But therein lies the catch!!!!There is no,"if you are NOT Mr....,press 2".So the calls continue even if you hang up and press nothing.So after about 30 of these calls,I answered one time and pressed 1 just to be able to connect with a "live"human and be able to tell them that I am not that person they are looking to collect on and please stop calling me!But guess what?After I pressed the only option...#1....no one answered the phone,even after 10 minutes!So the next day the same thing...the computer called my cell and I pressed #1 again which is supposed to tell the collectors that I am this person(even though i'm not) and the same thing!No relay to a human so I can tell them i'm not this person!!!!So dammed if you do and dammed if you don't!!!!Not pressing anything and hanging up or pressing something and waiting,yields no results!!!!

Soon I will have the call traced and take them to court even if the court costs are 5,000 dollars!!!!I'm sick of this crap!!!

Today I went to a supermarket and I had 4 items so I went into the express isle that said:10 items or less.I was in a hurry,so I did not look at the guy in front of me right away,and began to place my 4 items on the belt.Then I looked in front of me.This dude had like 30 items with another 30 coupons and he was arguing with the cashier over one of his coupons.And there was no other isle or express lane or open lane anywhere else.I was going to say something,but simply went into my "silent revenge rage".After placing my 4 items on the belt and my now empty basket,I just left it there and walked out of the store.No problem,maybe the cashier who allowed this dude to go into his lane had to put my groceries away,I really do not care.I went shopping down the block with no problem.I simply will not put up with crapazola anymore,no need to.I did that one other time with alot of perishable items.You put it away,i'm shopping somewhere else...see ya,wouldn't want to be ya!

I own an older Corvette and like to park way out and away from other cars that would open their doors without a care in the world and put a ding on my car door or roll those dumb shopping carts around and after they unload their cart,let the wind blow the cart into my car.Its happened in the past and I caught them in the act.One dude denied it once and I said..."ok,lets wait here till the police show up,because I will insist on a chemical analysis of that paint on my door which I know will match your paint,ok buddy?"After that statement we both went to HIS bank and he withdrew an acceptable amount of $$ for me.

But my point here is....I park away from everyone else in a parking lot with tons of open spaces all around me.So why must someone park right aside of me and close,when there is ample spaces everywhere both close and far to the store?Every time this happens I now have to walk around my car to see if there is a ding or something.Sure,you can park where you want,but wouldn't it make more sense to park your 30K vehicle in a space where no one is right by you if possible?

Years ago,when I was like 20,I watched someone push a shopping cart right into my car(as he was leaving the store) and put a dent in it because he was mad about some family personal issue(he was talking to himself) and took it out on a strangers car....mine.I seen this as I was actually walking into the store and looked behind me at my Dodge Charger.So,I scooted back into my car and followed this dude.He did not see me following because it was dark out.He drove about 4 miles to another shopping mall and it was like 9pm,so there was not alot of activity in the lot.I thought to myself,what good would getting the police do?It would be his word against mine that that incident occurred.So I jumped on his hood leaning over and picking up a shopping cart OVER MY HEAD smashed it through his windshield!Got calmly into my car with no witness's and drove off watching the shopping cart touching his car seat inside.Now that was close to 40 years ago.Yes,don't look at me as the animal,that was justice my friends!

Here's something that is not something I would classify under "dislike",but I still find it a bit weird or unusual with some GK players.Recently,I challenged 2 players that were over 2200 because of what I seen in their profile,which was that they were fast players averaging 4 or 5 hours a move,several times a day.I like fast movers,it makes the game go on a nice swift pace.But when I went into challenge them,they both had their settings at not accepting a game unless I set the game at 2 weeks a move!!!!Two weeks a move with an average move time of 4 or 5 hours?Sorry,but I think that is simply ridiculous!First of all setting any game to 2 weeks a move is something I would never play,for I could raise a kid from birth and see him through college before that game would end!If your a fast mover,don't set your challenge decline settings to 2 weeks!
That tells me that you might take 2 weeks to move once in a while,contradicting your profile average as soon as I begin to play you,and I will refuse a game with anyone that will take even 5 or 6 moves in a game at 2 weeks a move....ridiculous!

In fact,in my opinion,there should be no such thing as 2 week moves.I'd say,maybe 5 days max.A 2 week per move game combined with vacation time-outs could take a lifetime to finish.

Everyday life is a new experience or a repeater.I did some serious psychological testing to the limit yesterday evening.Did you ever get that guy at a restaurant,that every time you look up and/or to the side,he is staring at you?No,not because he is gay and is interested in you,but just the staring continues.No,your not wearing anything weird that draws attention,no you do not look weird or retarded yourself and no,he is not simply thinking to himself and staring your direction....but the stare continues.Not always 100% of the time,but intermittently,say,10 times in 10 minutes.I see this quite often.Let it go,right?Yes,I always do,but this time,I decided to use reverse psychology.So yesterday I decided to stare back like a fixed painting directly back at the staring dude,not moving my face,not twitching,not blinking my eyes and not saying a word or giving any type of expression to indicate like or dislike or showing any kind of non comfort.I stared back for 3 minutes and so did he.I was also twice his size in muscles,so I feared nothing.I was thinking...just say one word and i'll give you a loud mouthful back and be glad to stand up and walk outside to settle any issue....but I did not express that in facial expression.I won the psychological battle!

He finally stared away first and never looked back one time in 30 more minutes before I left.I guess he got the message!No,this guy was not "slow"either.I know slow dudes when I see them.

Sometimes,I must simply push things to the limit without saying a word.Its really discourteous to stare at others,and I sometimes feel it is necessary to use measures to stop it.I'm smart however.Since I would let him throw the first physical punch as I blocked it and he,not me would have to come over to my table first.In a court of law,then,I would win,since I could prove that the physical threats came from him,not me...and staring is not against the law.So I win in court.People never learn,but I will teach them,by using their own weapons against themselves!

Will I always do this?No,of course not,but sometimes depending upon my mood,I must place a mirror in front of me to show through reflection the other person what he is doing,whether he is aware of it or not.And if he is not aware of it...thats still no excuse!Learn to not stare and twist your head another direction....and become self aware.For one day,staring at the wrong person whether it be a gang biker or a mob boss,when you leave the restaurant,you may become another Hoffa that disappears without a trace.And you may be thinking...come on now TA,your making a big issue over a silly stare and blowing things out of proportion,you talk dumb!!Really?Well,I say to YOU,YOU think silly and dumb and live in a fantasy world,not me.For I have seen things happen after staring,especially in the big cities and sometimes in those "stick"towns in the middle of nowhere,and I will not elaborate further...I plead the 5th!No,i'm not joking either.So you think simply staring will never endanger your life and you laugh at my post???Well,keep laughing and I hope the pole light is not broken outside when you leave at 10pm from the restaurant.Nothing will happen,right?Laugh away!

Is your free behavior,dress and attitude worth it?
Hmmmm.My following comments on the "what I dislike thread",some people will not like,but well,thats too bad!Yes,the freedoms in the USA we fought to create over the centuries and will continue to do so for the next few centuries.But freedoms can also backfire on some individuals when they challenge those freedoms with different kinds of behavior,disrespect freedoms and/or the law,stretch those freedoms and more.

I see things in the news all the time,even as far back as the King beatings by police.Whats the first thing King did when police put on their lights and requested him to stop?He ran.This is called disrespect for the law.Sure the police went way overboard and beat the crap out of him.But really,who's fault was that?Kings,not the police.Now if King would have eluded the police and they did not recognize him or get his licence plate #...he would have been the first one to laugh at the police and feel great that he got away.But he did not and paid for it by pushing the tempers of those police to the max.King could have easily killed some pedestrians while the police were in pursuit of him....and i'm sure this was on the minds of the police.Then he would have blamed the police for that too!!!If King would have immediately stopped instead of playing"games"with the police,theres a most probable chance that those "beatings"would not have occurred.See,some people think they can do and act as they please and face no consequences because the "law"is supposed to protect them.And don't go telling me that King didn't give that spitting pig attitude and foul disrespectful words to the police figuring that they were powerless against him.Bullcrap!Get those batons and use them!

I say fooey to that!!!!!These people do not deserve the respect of the law,period.I don't care if every officer was fired in that incident,King deserved the beatings...period.

Now on to those "hoody" and "non hoody"kinds of guys that walk around like thugs,listen to kill/shoot them up rap and think that the law should protect them or that they are not endangering their own lives acting like a walking kill movie on TV.These "types"make me laugh.You know whats going on now in the courts,right?That shooting of the rapper.Sorry,but people like that bring the "bad karma"down upon themselves.Live by the sword,die by the sword I say,even if its on CD!
These people put "normal"citizens on the alert and defensive.So if you have some dude that acts,reacts or wears clothes the way they like in a free society,then if they get shot by someone who thinks that their life was endangered(the security guy)...then don't blame the security guy!You dudes want to walk the walk,act like thugs,dress like thugs,listen to Kill CD's,place your hands quickly in your pockets infront of an armed security guard,even if you have no weapon........then you must face the possibility of death,even if you are INNOCENT!!!!!!Your death is your fault for 1.Your behavior 2.Your reactions 3.The way you act 4.The way you dress and the way you were raised.....badly.Don't want to conform to the way the greater US society is?Well,freedoms allows that,but then if you get shot,beat up or ridiculed by society or shot by a security guard or a jewlery business owner because you walked into his store with a hood on over your head and he was robbed before....its YOUR FAULT for dying...even if you meant no harm or robbery at all!!!!!

See????????????So freedom away all you like...but freedoms have its consequences as well and get it through your thick skulls.....when your parents come to court over what they deem is an unnecessary shooting at the door of a club,maybe due to some over reactive white guy with a gun that may be prejudiced against a black guy....well think again.Some behaviors force others to think in ways whether correctly or not about your son and may force a life and death situation in some circumstances.I don't care if the law puts that security guard away for 10 years...the black dude still loses because he is 6 foot under and the guard lives and will be out and thriving in a few years.So,who is worse off then?The dead dude or the living security guard?And mainly all due to odd physical and verbal behavior...not skin color!!!!!!!So wrong or right,freedoms or not,when some of you dudes press your luck and do and act as you please,then face the consequences of death...period!Attitudes can kill,even if you are innocent!Is it really worth it?Can you just go out and get good paying jobs the way you act and dress?No,well,mostly not in many cases.Now that you can't get a good paying job based upon the "freedoms"you have evoked,you now want to blame society for that and feel that you want the easy way out,do some robberies,join some drug gangs,collect welfare and more,right?Hmmm...whats wrong with this picture?Now the freedoms you just evoked because of your stubborn ways of dressing ,acting and your attitude corrodes the system,adds to inflation,puts our taxes higher and puts people like security guards or the police on the alert for dudes like you.So you want to cry foul against the "establishment"when you get the crap beat out of you or your shot dead by some white dude?Please!Let me vomit just looking at you!if I was a job recruiter...i'd kick you out of the office as well.Get those pants off of your lower butt cheeks and show a bit of respect in a job environment.Oh,thats your right(your thinking) to dress the way you want and you will act as you please!No one is going to tell you otherwise!Whats wrong with this way of thinking?

If you can't answer that,then you are basically a loser.And if you get shot one day for what you deem is no reason at all...was it all worth it now that you are in a wheelchair the rest of your life?

And freedom moves on in the good old USA!

Well,its my freedom as well,to see some of you dudes get kicked out of the job line or get shot at the door of a club...all while there is a smile on my face!I'll keep drinking my Mojito and smiling at you laying there,then turn around and say to the bartender,i'll have another please.The bartender says to me what was that all about at the door?I'll say..."nothing important"!Now what is really more important is the mint leaves in my drink!Don't skimp on those leaves!Respect is earned my friends,think about it.

en.wikipedia.org

Make sure you read all the parts of resisting arrest in that link,reaching for what might have been a weapon,behavior,previous arrests,probation and more.Most of those cops got off from prosecution,except 2 many years later.All this,due to Kings behavior.Police brutality?Maybe there should be MORE brutality!Again,disrespect,bad attitude and then and still now... these kind of dudes want to claim wrong doings with the establishment and cry foul?

The same today with the thugs that want "respect"?You want respect being a member of a gang that commits everything from selling drugs to murder?Yes,keep listening to more of your thug CD's.But when a drone spots you a year from now doing something suspicious,even at another "club"...the police investigate and you give the cops that attitude and reach for your genitals instead of reaching in the air and your shot dead or put in a wheelchair for life...don't blame the "establishment" made up of mostly white guys.Blame yourself,your "attitude",your life,your habits,your way your faulty brain is thinking and the way you dress.You don't care about death your thinking?
Well good!Maybe the "establishment"can speed up your wish!Hopefully!

Bartender,wheres my drink?Nice day out!

Funny,but there is hidden serious problems below the surface in many today...
I mentioned this before in this thread,but I will bring up this odd/funny thing again.
Yesterday,I brought my friend into that famous hamburger place we have all eaten at in the USA at one time or another.But for experimental purposes only!!We were not going to actually eat there,just walk next door to a chicken food place after I proved something!!!!

I said to my friend,i'm going to try this experiment with the order taker.If I lose to the experiment,I will buy you your dinner next door.If not,you buy me atleast a soft drink!
He said...ok!

Here's how the food order conversation went,and the restaurant was not busy,only one other customer in the restaurant at that time:

Me:"This will be to go and it will be with a medium sized drink and that will be all" "I'll have a #3 grilled and a medium coke.(repeating myself again on the medium sized drink).I said to go first because many of the order takers DO ask you first if it will be to go or to eat "in".

Her response:
"What sized drink?And will that be grilled or crispy?"Is that for here?Is that all?


Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !
I left the restaurant with my friend and told her to cancel the order!!!!!!Hope she understood that!!!!

In other words,in "her"mind,she needed to ask the questions first!If I give her the answers first,her brain cannot assimilate the answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You may be thinking...well,she simply was not listening!WRONG!!!!!
She WAS listening and hearing me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!But that was not enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I won the bet!And he bought me my chicken dinner next door!

Again and I repeat,many of the young people of today have apparently no listening capability and their brains cannot seem to interpret anything that is not in a specific order that they have feebly preprogramed their minds to decode.In life,you have to be prepared to jumble the thought process around a bit or you will be a failure in work,business and life.Its like a mix drink recipe.So,someone misplaced verbally to you if the ice cubes go in first or last.You mean to tell me you cannot and will not make that drink because the ice cubes were not told to you as going in first or last?Ha ha ha ha ha ha!No,i'm serious!!Please!!!

In manufacturing,unpredictable things always come up at the spare of the moment.You mean to tell me that you cannot perform that work task unless every single microscopic step detail is given to you in a precise working order for your brain to decode and all it was,was to dump sugar in a vat and push the "on" button?I must tell you how to step up to the vat,which way to turn your head,make sure you don't wipe your nose and don't take an hour to do it?

This is why some people will never leave that fast food restaurant as a job!Seriously!

Now how hard was it to simply understand ahead of time that my order was to go,crispy and a med drink???I gave her the info first as many order takers request anyway!And its not only "her"....i've tested this on atleast 5 others in the past and 4 out of the 5 FAILED my simple test!!!!! Yes, they spoke English and were not Spanish or some other ethnic group and no,these individuals were not handicapped,retarded or slow in any way.And yes,I spoke in a very loud and clearly distinctive voice.

Hey,I can't play chess,no one ever showed me how to play the black side!I was only trained on the white side!Please!

I can't change that light bulb because the boss did not tell me if I should use my left or right hand!Please!

Common sense and a bit of more detailed listening and better assimilation of your thoughts is what many young people need today.If they are not listening to that music with the plug in their ear,then when a real human speaks to them,they cannot interpret words correctly and assimilate a reactive thought process in their minds.

I'm worried about the future of the USA if way too many people are like the order takers.
And it goes deeper than simply taking an order,if you get my drift!I may have to move to China!I have a feeling even the young Chinese workers have better listening capability!

Now,how does this simple order at a fast food restaurant relate to this individual having a much higher probability at failing at education,future work and being fired(not listening) or failing in their private life with a relationship,not listening to their boyfriend,girlfriend husband,wife and getting divorced with kids?Then public assistance,welfare and complaints that the jobs are not available?

Then my taxes are going up and up!!!Think not?Think again!Too deep for you?Well,insight and listening has many hidden and open values in life.I am highly business successful and a senior chess master because of it.I never needed to work at that fast food restaurant when I was 21 years old.
The better and much higher paying employer seen that I was a good listener and my work habits showed that I needed very little input to perform the job.And at the time,I had no education beyond High School!Well,you may be thinking... "not everyone can be like you TA!"Maybe not,but many more can,if they just put a better bit of effort,respect for their job and customers,and actually care,not just lie to themselves or their employer to get a job.....and LISTEN!!!!!

A less educated and capable worker that can listen and assimilate better but does not,will indeed put not only a higher burden on America and the economy but make my paycheck less and less every year!

Think i'm joking?Think again!
Now what was that about my medium drink...what do you mean you did not hear me?
Cancel my order!!!!!I'm taking my business next door!!!!
