Thread: Rant of The Day

Funny thing about my idea for this one, it's not even mine or who told me about it. My father belongs to a golf forum and was quite surprised that there wasn't something similar. Apparently there's an "Of The Day" for anything imaginable over there. I perused a bit on the google machine and could find one. I supposed if it had created issues in the past and been deleted, mods may want to jump the gun and kill this one. I enjoy deja-vu, but others may not feel the same.

So, for my rant of the day...

The story of the egg.

I make the same breakfast every morning. Well, the same lunch too, but that's neither here nor there. It's a simple 2 eggs over-easy, ontop of a slice of cheese on toast. 3 stripes of ketchup into delicious heavenly bliss to start my morning.

This morning was like any other, I woke up later than I meant to (as usual) and started the kettle for my french press. Threw the frying pan on the oven with approximately 1/2 tablespoon of butter, put the heat on low, while I was brushing my teeth. Run through my routine while the butter melts and heats up. Nab my eggs and cheese out of the ice box, don't forget to put the dang bread in the toaster, again. Pull out the eggs. Turned to just look at my kettle for some reason and promptly heard that "you just dropped an egg on the floor" noise. If you don't know what it is, drop an egg on the floor, it's very distinctive. Not that I have ever done this before...

Nice gooey egg white on my foot, running late and the most PITA thing to clean off of a floor.

What a way to start the week....

As you seek solace in this thread, please be mindful of the rules during your grumblings.

.thats what you get for putting ketchup on eggs. Tc

I go to this bar every dang Friday for my weekly burger. I need that red meat and they make them at 1/2 lb. Plus the owner is a solid guy.

So, I go in for my usual and had to sit down at a table. Of course, I had to sit in the section of one of the worst waiters I have ever seen in my life. He only has 4 tables and takes forever just to take a dang empty glass, averages 7-10 minutes just to grab a glass. So, I'm sitting there. Food all cleared and an empty at the edge of the table. He walks up takes JUST THE NAPKINS and walks off. He had to reach AROUND the glass to grab 2 napkins. That was it, I went from annoyed to angry. I leave the table and belly up to the bar, since a few seats open up and my buddy is tending bar. I get my beer myself and he proceeds to refuse to change over the ticket to the bar. I tell my gf that she has to talk to him or I'm going to go Gordon Ramsey on him. She asks him for the bill and to put it on my card, they have it saved on file, that is how long I have been going there. It takes him over 15 minutes to give me my bill. I was going to give him zero tip, but it usually pisses off servers more with a low tip. Total was 46.25, gave him 3.75. He was calling me an asshole up and down at the register.

Ketchup should only go on scrambled eggs.

I went beyond that once. Years ago, after spending hours in a courthouse and not being in a good mood, I took my family to a nearby Red Lobster at about 2 in the afternoon. Our waitress, who was not busy, pretty much made it clear that she did not give a damn about us at all, but we were eventually served. After the meal was over, I asked for the check. I repeatedly asked for the check. I waited 45 minutes and then got up, walked into the kitchen, and asked to speak to the manager. I told her that our meal was on our waitress and then we left. I have not been to a Red Lobster since then, even though it was only the waitress' fault.

I went to a Bennigan's with my wife before they closed. We ordered nachos as an appetizer, but specified no onion or tomatoes. Inevitably, they came with onions and tomatoes, so we waited for our server to come and check on us. After 20 minutes, we were both so hungry, and everything was cold, we decided to just eat around the offending vegetables. 10 minutes later, the server comes over, and asks how everything is. We explained that we asked for no t&o, but it came with it anyway, and we waited 20 minutes for him to come over before touching the food. He looked at me and shrugged, then walked away. Not even an apology.

I've known the owner and he is pretty convicted to having me as a customer. He even offered to rent the apartment in yhe building he purchased next door for a very reasonable rate. The server typically leaves early, with no notice to any coworkers. I advised him posthaste.

I've grown up around ketchup fiends, so adding it to any eggs isn't too bananas. Don't like scrambled without it. Omelets are cholula only though.

Ketchup is great on eggs - any kind. But lately I put Tabasco chipotle hot sauce on all my eggs.

Ketchup is great on scrambled eggs (Heinz) and salsa is good too. So is Kimchi on scrambled eggs.
