Pet Peeves

How about make it anybody who insists that you should like any one thing because it tastes like something else that they know you like. No matter what you think about much veal tastes like chicken, I don't like veal, dammit!

My parents were big on that when I was young because I was such a picky eater, except they took it to the point of trying to con me. My father even tried to tell me that the blood on a rare steak was like ketchup. Glad you think so, dad. Now can I have my well-done steak and some ketchup, please?

 

That reminds me....picky eaters. Drive me crazy. If you don't like the restaurant's standard preparation of something, go to a buffet or stay home and make it yourself.

 

So if a restaurant's standard way of making a hamburger is to glop some ketchup and "special house sauce" on it, I should instead go to Burger King so I can have it my way?

Or may, more to the point, the restaurant should stop serving meals in funkily-prepared ways.

 

Um, that doesn't sound particularly funky to me. But, point is, if they serve it that way and offer no other options on the menu, you know what you're getting into. Someone who wants about 10 different alterations to what is listed on the menu sounds like a fauntleroyan pain in the ass.

 

Don't agree with you Dools, but hey, it's your Pet Peeve, not mine. I'll let you have it.

 

My daughter is the "Fauntleroy pain in the ass." She wants every thing seperate, and if there are three items on the plate, she ask for a seperate plate so she can keep her foor from touching. Then she will ask for all dressings, sauces, gravies, etc. to be in rammicans on the side so she can mix it her way. And if it's a mixture (such as salad), she will always have one of the items she wants left out. If it isn't just to suit her, she will waste no time calling a waiter over to fix it. And then we, who are done, all have to sit there until she finally gets finished.

And this from someone who used to be a restaurant hostess and complained about customers just like herself.

ARRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

 

Fauntleroy ... always liked that word. There should be a font called Font Leroy.

 

Maybe if you could create such a font, it would have lots of "ass-terisks"

SORRY!! I HAD TO DO IT!

 

Yeah... I hate it when my foor is touching. And if any of my drinl gets in my foor, I completely lose my appetite.

Bet I just touched on another pet peeve there, didn't I?

 

I think your daughter is actually Monk.

 

Drink touching food or persnickity, fussbudget eaters?

One is a pet peeve of mine.

 

I was thinking of spelling police on a message board, but those work, too.
