Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 389

Restaurants not listing their cocktail menus online

 

It’s amazing how many times I call in a food order and don’t get told the total at the end of the call. Just, “ok see you then thanks, bye”. With our without prices on their menu, so now I just gotta guess and hope I have enough (we order food at work every week and I go and pick up and people pay me back in a mix of cash, Apple Pay or “I’ll pay you tomorrow”).

 

I could write a book on how much I hate the lack of online presence for many restaurants. I want a menu. Pictures of the food is cool too. I want prices. If you have a happy hour I'd like to know when it is. I'd like to know your regular hours too. If there is a vegetarian section or a key for vegetarian friendly foods that is a plus.

 

I never learn that no price listed means rip off tourist trap lol

 

In my area I see this exclusively with Indian restaurants lol

I never felt a longing for restaurants until I saw someone on fb or Reddit point out how many pieces of info Instagram doesn’t express, always felt it was largely sufficient, but y’all are right. That said, it’s absolutely bonkers to me that pics of each dish has never really been a standard. Thought I was the only one that wanted it (I grew up an extremely picky eater).

 

Once in a while there's a gem tho! There's a dive bar near me without prices on their drink menu and to this day idk how much their mixed drinks are because I wanna say they didn't itemize the bill or maybe they did and I just didn't notice. But the bill has always been cheap af so I think the drinks must not be very much at all. I'm partly scared that if I ever find out the prices they'll think I know too much and raise them so I just quietly accept it

 

"let's just split the bill evenly, it'll be easier than doing the math"

Cool, but all I got was the cheapest thing on the menu and you all ordered three cocktails and a filet minion, so how about we just bust out that calculator real quick?

 

Yep hate that shit. Or when the table wants to split a pizza instead of just getting your own small pizza and taking leftovers home

 

The pizza thing doesn't bother me, but I get that way with sharing popcorn at the movies. I don't need hands reaching over throughout the movies or figuring out some sort of split butter/salt situation

 

I don't mind splitting the bill even if it's going to mean a $5 difference in what I ordered, but sometimes it's like $20 or $30 and I want to scream.

 

How would the butter/salt split even work? If someone has strong opinions about not wanting as much butter or salt as everyone else, they can get their own lol.

 

yeah splitting is fine if everyone got like 1 drink and the meals are all similarly priced but it's always the person that got an app, an expensive meal and 4 cocktails that suggests it

 

I went to dinner with a few coworkers once and one dude there ordered multiple drinks, a salad, meal, and dessert suggested we split the bill evenly (I got a single $8 item). Never hung out with him outside of work again lol

 

Yeah don't want someone's dirty ass hand in my popcorn lol. I would just say no in that situation unless it's like a chick I'm on a date with. Plus I can demolish a large popcorn lol. I normally don't mind splitting a bill with friends evenly unless I know there is some crazy difference. To be honest when it's a big party it is kind of annoying to have everyone look at it to do the math but if I only ordered a small item I'd speak up

 

what if she has dirt hands tho?

 

That's the price you pay for love

 

lol touché

 

My wife sometimes asks for a separate bag so we can dump half and half and have separate control over our butter/salt preferences, but I would literally spend the extra $5 for her to get a small popcorn lol

 

If someone asks to “split the bill” to get out of paying more for their portion, I’ll say NO and how about I Apple Pay whomever my amount and the rest of the people can figure it out

 

The Ticketmaster mobile site is so bad it's pretty much unusable if you want to select a seat

 

Taking lunch early due to a meeting during my normal lunch time only for the other person to no show. Now my brain thinks there’s an hour and a half left in the day when there’s really three hours.

 

I’m almost positive Excel recently did an update and changed the default font and it’s driving me crazier than it really should lol

 

I think outlook did too
