What really drives you crazy?

[Fudgey]

Trying to buy one item in a store and they want my phone number, zip code, to sign up for their frequent buyer rewards program and see if I am pre-approved for their credit card. It's like lady I just wanted shampoo.

They usually only ask for a zip code here. I think it is to see how many people shop there from different towns.

Same here MK. Happy to see there is none of that here in the Women's Room. Your all a breath of kindness & grace.

It's always fun and relaxed in here. We do get out the margaritas and chocolate on occasion

we haven't had margaritas for quite some time now. I wonder if i should add that to my list....

Y'all are covering many of my annoyances. No one's mentioned people who continue to talk at you even when you're obviously busy with and concentrating on something else. "I know you're busy, but my whatchamajig needs a whatchmacallit, just like the time my sisters ex-boyfriend's friend had a whachamajig...of course that was a different whatchamajij...."

Gotta add, getting all excited to try a liquid that is something you adore in life, and when you try it, it tastes like ivory soap mixed with mr. clean

(I had some that tasted like dish soap !!! It never went away either...ick !)

yeah, I'm experiencing something of a cross..... so disappointed. makes me wonder wth they are thinking and why they say it tastes like one thing that wouldn't even be flowery

 

[classwife]

...that is why I make my own ...or now I also buy you know where.....

I got some tobacco flavor that tasted like perfume! YUK!

 

[CES]

the dirty socks taste of some of the tobacco flavors can get to me

Not saying you can't get bad liquids..I know I have. But you also need to remember that your taste buds change a lot in the first year. What was good yesterday tastes like spinach today. Next month it just might taste fine again.

 

[classwife]

True...but that soap taste one does not go away or get better !

 

[Mary Kay]

Blow bubbles with it!

 

[classwife]

...tasted like you coulda !

What really drives me crazy is when I buy a package of chicken leg quarters, open it up, turn the pieces upside down and find a huge lump of fat and skin tucked intentionally under there to add to the weight and bring the price per pound up. That's just wrong!

 

[classwife]

I am with you on the chicken fat ! I have found it a lot ! I pretty much just buy whole chickens now...I get a lot of mileage out of one !

Roast it and have it that way...do a chicken dish with the left overs...boil it down and pick it clean, add back in the chicken juice from broiling and make chicken noodle or chicken and dumplings.




I don't like finding quills still on the chicken !!!!!

 

[Fudgey]

That really burns me when I get a roast like that, a nice looking roast on one side and a 2 inch thick piece of fat on the other!!! Fat gives it more flavor when cooking but that could have been a whole other serving of meat instead!!

Quills on the chicken is nasty....bleck!!

 

[Lisa66]

I would like to see a completely clear package of bacon instead of the only part without fat through that little window.

 

[tmcase]

Yeah, you're right. I forgot about that one.

 

[Mary Kay]

Oh those are just little things..how about a good looking guy hiding his fat with one of those tummy holder inners? Now that's sneaky!
