The unsaid thread

It's ok, I'm here now with another peeve Chsalas (the your/you're thing wasn't directed at you only, sheesh! =) )....

People who post "first!" in comment threads.... sometimes people even start counting up. This drives me nuts...

 

Correction! Apparently when the Geek Squad at Best Buy sent my laptop for repair they sent it to their own repair center, not HP. I had assumed they had sent it to HP... So I guess my beef is with GS, not HP. But I'm still laptopless for at least another 4 or so days.

 

.....while watching a DVD and a coffee balanced between my knees.....

 

And, of course, they're the same people who took 5 minutes at the drive thru menu trying to decide what to order!

 

CAUTION: Coffee may be hot.

 

I think McDonalds learned their lesson. At least I hope so.

 

why do doctor's send you for tests, for a potentially serious problem, worry you sick and then don't call you when the test results come in. why do they make you wait for 5 days to give you the results and the results are there coz the nurse told you they came in!! aagggghhhhhh

 

To the motorcyclist who find it necessary to drag race on Claiborne Pkwy (especially on Easter Sunday) & run the 4-way stop.

I hope you get busted by the Sheriff’s office and lose both your Motorcycle & Vehicle license. Your reckless drag racing endangers other drivers & pedestrians in our family oriented neighborhood. A driver’s license is a privilege, not a right.

 

I hope not!!!!! Pet peeve: lukewarm coffee now served everywhere because some doofus dumped it in their lap!

 

It was not the fault of the woman, it was the fault of McDonalds for serving coffee 60 degrees hotter than the industry safety standard.

McDonalds got what they deserved.

 

I will grant you that one point. I incorrectly remembered a 60 degree difference, when in actuality the difference was 20-30 degrees. I do apologize for the error

Despite my error, McDonalds still was guilty of serving coffee above the industry standard and they had settled over 700 cases of people, including children, who had been burnt by their coffee. There was simply no way McDonalds could claim that they were unaware of the hazards of how they choose to serve coffee.

It was my intention to address the myth that this was a frivolous lawsuit when it was a valid one.

 

I still think it was frivolous. Many, many coffee drinkers want their coffee piping hot. If I spill hot coffee in my lap I expect to be burned (not that I want to be!). If it had happened to me it would never have occurred to me to sue the place I bought it. Drinking and driving don't mix when it comes to liquor or hot drinks!

 

Well everyone is entitled to their own opinion on this case.

 

Agreed.

Personally, I'm an adult, I can pretty much take my actions as my responsibility (to include inebriated states too) and if I order hot coffee, I expect it to be hot, and if I burn myself, well then I am a dumb---. That person who burned themselves, regardless of the temperature was, ( I assume under 212 degrees f) should be held accountable for her own actions. It's spilt, and it's on them. (no pun intended)


Like Flynn said, no one take personal responsibility anymore and that's just sad.

 

If you are picking up or returning a Red Box movie, then PARK IN A PARKING SPACE. Your $1 movie does NOT come with curbside parking. You're lucky my cart didn't careen out of control and bang into your Mercedes!! GRRRRR

 

Fat, ugly men with scraggly facial hair and PONYTAILS!

Don't know why because none of the above bother me (I am over weight and haven't shaved in a few days) by themselves or even a couple of them...

BUT ALL TOGETHER! WHY?!?!?!?!

 

But I thought that if I am bald on top, that if I grow a long pony tail, it will make me look so much younger and hip?
