    I'm irritated by the whole idea of flavored coffee; don't like the taste, don't even like the smell when other people drink or brew it.

    But what really irks me is when folks grind flavored coffee in the machine at the hippie natural foods store that is clearly marked, "Please do not grind flavored coffee in this machine." There's another grinder designated for that vile-tasting stuff, but people who hate the taste of real coffee use the untainted machine anyway.

    I swear, it's getting so bad that I might have to politely ask the manager to remove the "Please" from the sign.

    I used to work with a woman who would bring in a can of 'amaretto' coffee and brew it in the office coffee pot.
    It was vile.

    When you go for a job interview and the main interviewer is 15 minutes late, dominates the discussion, then keeps you a half hour past the time slot you'd agreed on. I still gotta get to the job I currently have. Makes me really question if I'd want to work for this guy. Though the fact it ran so long seemed to indicate a good fit as far as job expectations.

    I was just next door in one of our other buildings and made a cup of coffee in the Keurig over there.
    I grabbed the wrong pod and made a cup of hazelnut-flavored coffee by mistake!

    Is that irony or poetic justice?
    Gail has taken her vengeance on me!

    Let me see if I understand. You're in bed, having worked a grueling night shift, and after watching something on Netflix, you're finally about to fall asleep. Getting horizontal on the mattress was almost an out-of-body experience, and as you feel the tension leaving you, and you're drifting off into a satisfying slumber, suddenly, a loud honk from the parking lot jolts you wide awake again, and you think, "Cool"?

    I live on a downtown-Fredericksburg scale reasonably busy street. A honk isn't going to wake me up.

    And damned if I'm going to trust just pushing the button, without a little feedback "honk!" to tell me indeed the doors are locked.

    You can't hear the "clunk" of the locks?

    Need to get your hearing checked, or stand by your vehicle while you're locking it.

    Well, that's the thing about the fob. You can get about a twenty-five foot head start and then click the fob, not once, but twice, to make it honk.

    Then, if you have OCD like me, you click it twice more to hear it honk a second time.
