PET PEEVES

Well once again I find my self starting another posting with the phrase "It's been a long time since my last post" and it really has however based on the amount of comments I got on the last post it really doesn't matter because no one reads it anyway. Nevertheless I will continue to type as if someone out there, either now or years in the future, will read this and be touched, or offended.

Despite the fact that I have not updated any of our family happenings I have decided to start a new "Series" of blog posts that will be known from this day fourth as......

PET PEEVES

Now for the few of you who know me, or have even just met me once, or perhaps just passed me in the street, know that I have many small, medium, large and extra large "Hang-Ups" I am admittedly a person who is easily annoyed, however what separates me from the rest of those who are also easily annoyed is that I am not constantly miserable due to these irritations. And I also feel fully justified in the fact that these annoyances are brought to light.

As I said this will be a "Series" of postings so each post will contain one or two subjects that I would like to focus on.

The first subject I would like to bring to your attention will be known as:

"That restaurant is no good"

There are several restaurants that serve a variety of foods, but the majority of restaurants specialize in one type of food. For example if you go to a Chinese restaurant you would probably expect to be served delicious Chinese food.  If you go to a steak house it would be safe to assume that flame broiled slabs of beef rib eye cooked to the perfect medium rare temperature would be the best thing to order. Now as we all know there must be an opposite in all things, so If you go to Lee Hung's gourmet Chinese restaurant and on the menu you notice that they serve hamburgers, it would be wise to conclude that the burgers served there are probably not the best burgers that you will ever have, and probably are not even very good. If you go to Greasy Bobs Steakhouse and order a Fettucini Alfredo from the menu you can most likely put money on the guess that it will not taste very good.

So...what is the point??? Well the point is: if you go to a restaurant, or cafe, and order ANYTHING other than their speciality items, then for goodness sakes don't expect to enjoy what you order, and don't you dare complain about what you got!!

In summary, the hidden pet peeve here is:

People who go to a restaurant that specializes in a certain type of food, order something completely opposite of the speciality items even if it's on the menu, and then have the nerve to complain about the food, and even go so far to tell others that that place is not good because they didn't like the grilled cheese they ordered at the Italian restaurant.


The End
