Waiters who keep coins when they bring change so that $4.58 in change is returned as $4.00. Hope they like their $0.58 tip.

People who like and use the zipper merge method. Even if I know it is objectively better, it goes against the foundations we're all taught as children to wait in line.

Decorative towels that are not meant to be used.

It's mostly died out now but restaurants that stopped giving physical menus and wanted you to look it up on your phone instead.

When the Chic-Fil-A person tries to take my order before I've even made it to the menu. If you want me to have a decision made 12 cars back in line, put the damn menu there!

So you are the a-hole that f's up the merge method and are deserving of a roadside beating.

Glad you outed yourself.

BTW - nothing about the zipper violates the "waiting in line" aspect. There are 2 lines, you have a well defined merge point for both of those lines, you wait in one or the other and merge alternating because it is the most efficient method for each line.

It's Chic-Fil-A. There are about 4 choices, you have plenty of time to think about it while you are waiting. When you get to the front of the line, you need to have your decision made. There aren't any daily specials like you get at a regular restaurant - sandwich or nuggets, not hard.

$20 says dude always orders the same meal anyways.

I've never had my 12, 7, or 5 year old ask to see the CFA menu before ordering… Even they can remember it by heart.

Sando: Grilled Chicken, Fried Chicken
Nuggets: Grilled, Traditional, Spicy
Waffle Fries
Lemonade or Coke

Guess the pimento chicken is throwing him for a loop. It's just too much to remember.

There's more sauce options than menu items…

Never said I **** up the merge, just that I don't like it. As far as Chic Fil A, I go maybe once a year, so yeah, the menu does change and I damn sure don't have a regular order.

The handicap spots are just out of effing control. And they are almost always totally empty. The hell with this crap.

And now the online ordering spots are next to or even closer than handicapped spots!

AGAIN. MY HERO.

F- zipper merge nazi guy.

As a friendly reminder to merge Nazis, my truck is 20 years old. I'm interested in a new one. I have a very competitive attitude coupled with a hair trigger temper. There are many others like me. Choose wisely. If it looks like I'm merging and bluffing about hitting you, I'm not. I'm coming over.

The zipper merge is highly efficient if mouth breathers will allow it to work and not be ********s.

One that is growing on me is the online ordering.

I go to a Jersey Mike's sub shop somewhat regularly that is close to my jobsite. Probably close to 50% of the time, I'm standing there waiting in the store to be asked my order because the staff is working on some online order that has 15 damned sandwiches on it and they can't get to customers standing there until they finish up with that one.

Granted, the online order has paid and I get that...but those orders should be filled when time permits and no in store customers are waiting.

Same with answering phones at Autozone or Discount tire while customers are there in the store. I've set my stuff on the counter at Autozone and walked out because the guy decided to answer the phone and ignore me and the other customers friggin standing there. In person should have priority over online or phone in a customer service industry.

And Subway should make it a rule that you can't have 1 person walk in with 10 orders in hand and absolutely f up the rotation. I've walked out because of this and because of how I despise it. You have the entire office order? Good for you. Order 1, get your ass to the back of the line to order the next one, repeat until you are done.

No it doesn't. It's the same as 1983.

A quick Google finds that the chicken salad and the grilled spicy deluxe were removed in the last 3 years, the honey pimento sandwich was added, and the side salad was only saved by public backlash all in the last 3 years. Sorry I don't worship your golden cow chicken.

If you want me to order at a certain spot, give me a menu there or before. I hate looking at menus on a phone and will, in the future, relish the thought that you might be behind me. Your real gripe is with the restaurant.

No, it doesn't! I eat plenty of chicken but really try to stay away from fast food.

I hit one at dusk years ago at the end of my street. Thankfully no injuries but the rider was pissed. Cussed me out six ways to Sunday until I pointed out that he had no reflective gear on and he was riding uphill on the wrong side of the road. He STFU and left the scene. Moron.

Speaking of drive thru, Whataburger has folks with pads out to take order and handle transactions all before you can see menu. Certainly expedites the slowest burger chain a little. I'm fine I only order one thing but rib must peruse entire list of offerings

This is the one. You're basically just paying "spit insurance" at this point.

Zipper merge is a pipe dream. I've never been in a merge situation that even remotely resembled a zipper merge. This would require no tailgating. Seems to me that would eliminate 95% of drivers.

45 North ramp from Walker downtown in Houston. Must be a DT courtesy because merge runs smoothly every time.

I know it has been mentioned somewhere, but the dipsheets who enter a freeway and then stop and try to get in between the first two cars in the line instead of driving forward and finding the space that inevitably appears up ahead.

I feel like Captain Winters yelling at Lt. Dyke during the attack on Foy.

The TSA... How many studies need to prove they absolutely suck at their jobs and serve no purpose before we make getting into airports not the ****ing worst experience imaginable.

Haven't seen it yet, but I detest the folks who "merge" onto a freeway by simply going their chosen speed, and coming off the on ramp into traffic without looking for a hole. If you happen to be in the spot they have chosen, they expect you to yield to them and move out of their way.

Sorry, sweetheart, that's not how this works. You're supposed to blend into existing traffic, not the other way around.

Old man gripe: The "this is my speed" driver.

Going down a two lane road, speed limit 70. "My speed" driver is going 60, impeding traffic like a boulder in the middle of a stream. You finally manage to pass them, going 90 for a short distance to avoid getting smashed by oncoming traffic.

Two miles later, you hit town, speed limit drops to 45, you drop to 45. Seconds later, here come "My speed", still serenely going 60, and passes you. You both get held up at the one stop light in town. Get the other side of town, limit goes back up to 70, oh look! You're trapped behind "My speed" at 60 mph again.

My gripe is not with a fast food restaurant that goes out of their way to get people through the line, up to and including hiring more people specifically to stand outside, essentially inventing the multiple lane drive through, having payment options right there instead of taking your CC inside to process it, and generally revolutionizing the fast food industry through service all restaurants are currently chasing right now.

Nope. My gripe will be with the selfish SOB that thinks they are so important that, despite all of the above, they should still be further catered to and who cannot be bothered to put any effort into the process. Becaue reading a menu that has barely changed in 40 years is hard, but playing on facebook or texags or (more likely) looking at fat dude porn is more important.

Meanwhile, that same selfish SOB would lose their ever loving mind if somebody did essentially the same thing to them in a different setting.

This doesn't fall under the "irrational" column. This is 100% a rational and justifiable outlook at one of the, if not the (besides maybe the ATF) most useless of government agencies that exists.

In fact, if you don't hold this attitude, you are the irrational one and need to look long and hard at yourself in the mirror and question why you are the way you are and why you choose to go through life so, so, so wrong.
