Pet Peeves, Vol. 2

1)Sport shoppers! Drive me crazy. They go in a store that's crowded and then walk around with an empty cart.

2) Going to a fine restaurant and someone brought their children. and they are not keeping an eye on them.
As Richard Jeni says: You don't see me going to Chucky Cheese with with my girls and a bottle of champagne!

Back when smoking was still allowed in most places, my late uncle would sit in smoking sections on purpose, even though he didn't smoke, thinking that children would not be in smoking sections of nice restaurants, especially on weekends. He liked children, but did not want to experience them while enjoying his martinis and dinner.

His backup "insurance" was the cigar that he always carried with him, and he would fire it up if parents dared sit in a smoking section with their children. The parents would usually asked to be moved away from the "bad cigar man" immediately. He was in the smoking section, so he was not breaking any rules.

Your uncle sounded like a grayt man.

I heart your uncle! :clap_1:

Last of the old school....I miss him. Taught me how to sing at piano bars with all his old timer friends when I was 16. It is a dying art.:roll:

Speaking of dyaing arts... I was thinking last night about music in the little 30a area. We were having dinner at the red bar and listening to jazz....we have all these acoustic folks... and people playing music in the area who are pretty good.

Getting off work and stopping by the grocery. The check-out line is long with 80 year old women, why the hell didn't they go to the store before 5:00, they've been home all day.
