That has happened to me in several places; talk about being cheap... But no paper menu = no business from me!
Ordering from a kiosk at McD is another one... Several times a year I pass through Miami, arriving around 10 PM, flying out the at 6 AM the next day. There's a small McD (hate it, but at that time of the day it's the only option around there, and I just want something quick before going to bed for a few hours' kip) just across the street from my usual hotel. You have to order from one of two kiosks, one of which seems to always be broken. The touch screens are often barely responsive, requiring multiple -and quite forceful...- taps, and the system allows you to order and pay for items they are sold out of...

Not to mention that the kiosk screens have who knows what germs from the people that use them. There are always kids with their bugger filled hands smearing the screens. No thank you!That has happened to me in several places; talk about being cheap... But no paper menu = no business from me!

The food is not even real. They should rename the place McCancer
I actually LOVE AI robocalls, when I'm in the mood.
If you want to have fun just answer the AI's question with whatever they said !

My thoughts exactly!Too many things to list!
I would have to ban myself!
But if I had to pick my absolute top complaint, driving slow in the left lane would be it......

Please define slow. It one is doing the speed limit in the left lane, that is not how I define slow. I define slow as doing under the posted speed limit. If driving the speed limit, then they have as much right to be in the left lane as one who speeds, maybe more right because they are following the law.

I drive rural 2-lane roads almost exclusively.
This morning a tractor, minus trailer was moving somewhat slowly ahead.
I was 2-3 vehicles behind the tractor.
Little friggin' import SUV was right on my bumper.... Swayed into other lane and onto the shoulder as if to pass.....
At a red light, I couldn't see the vehicle's rear-view mirror - meaning the F'er is REAL close to my bumper......
The friggin' car could have fit in the back of the truck....
That ticks me off...

I have a Porter Cable cordless 16 Gauge Nail Gun.
Battery is fine, but the charger is not-so-much according to my meter.
Porter Cable Chargers are very expensive.
That ticks me off.
PS - For $20, I was able to find a replacement charger. Good to go....

People that pull out in front of me on a two lane with no turn lanes that go 200 feet then turn left against traffic. Meanwhile I'm trying to keep 90K from making them dead. No wonder I don't get along with people.

That thought is an odd one to me. In Texas the right lane (of a 4 lane road) is to drive in, the left lane is to be passing those going slower than you. The speed limit has nothing to do with determining SLOW. Just be nice and donāt drive in the left land and everyone will get where they are going a bit faster and with less frustration. Texas used to encourage people to āDrive Friendlyā and most people did that regularly.
This is "common" law, decided by the people.
Corporate statutory traffic law, decided by the legislators, backed by force.
Agree with Russell King. In Texas, the left lane is supposed to be solely for passing slower drivers in the right lane. Unfortunately, too many think itās ātheir laneā to stay in. My father taught me many years ago not to be in the left lane unless you were passing something in the right. Or, someone was stopped on the right shoulder. I think about his words every time someone is taking a Sunday drive in the left lane and holding up traffic.
speed limit signs, are they:
- max. allowable?
- min. allowable?
- only a recommendation?
I remember once in S.D. being stopped by a local LEO for speeding while passing a slower moving vehicle on a 2 lane undivided road.
He only gave me a warning but strongly suggest I not ever again speed "in his county". He was deadly serious.

I know this as fact in MA. I was pulled over for passing on a two lane rural road, in a passing zone. 65 in a 55. I handed the MA road pirate. my New Hampshire license, and New Hampshire registration. When I appealed the ticket, they sent my hearing info to my old MA address. I never got it, my license was suspended. When I called MA, the first time they said it was my fault, the second person laughed at me. When I went to the registry in person, the pirate there told me there was nothing he could do. I had to pay $400+ to MA plus $XXX to NH.
Yellow and Black "Speed Limit" signs ARE recommendations.
If you get a ticket in one of those zones. fight it.
