    Re: What irritates you?

    People who use "I'm a lawyer," or "My [insert somewhat tenuous extended family/friend reference here, such as third cousin's girlfriend once removed] is a lawyer or cop as a threat.

    This morning I got a call from a "debt collector," at 7:30am. Let's start with this tidbit: A law called the FDCPA prohibits calling people this early without permission from them. I was rudely awakened. I've been paying some outstanding debt down lately and cleaning up my credit, which has suddenly made the dinosaurs come out of hibernation. After pointing out its illegal to call me this early, he lays out a debt from 1997 that I supposedly owe.

    I owed like $44 to a music CD club (you know, like BMG, 10 CDs for the price of one, etc.). The funny thing is, it's me, you got me. Wasn't aware that I owed money to them, I didn't think they keep sending you CDs if you don't pay them. And then he says, "I'm an attorney and my co-workers are police officers, and there are serious consequences for not paying this immediately."

    I take a long breath, then, "If you're a fucking lawyer, you're a shitty one. You're way outside the statute of limitations, your debt is legally unenforceable in the state giving rise to the transaction, and if you had given any thought or actually looked at my credit report you'd know that I was 15 at the time and legally unable to enter into a contract because I was a minor, therefore, your attempt to collect a debt fails as a matter of law on several levels. Also, I don't actually owe this debt, you're probably a shady fly-by-night extortion scheme. Go kill yourself and fuck your garbage dispenser so it eats your dick so you can't reproduce, you are the weakest link, goodbye." He then says I'm going to be arrested for threatening him. So, I'm like, "Let me educate you on the definition of a threat...nothing said here even remotely constitutes an illegal threat except you illegally threatening to have me arrested. Fuck off." I hung up. So that's how my day started.

    This is why I rarely get drunk anymore. I destroyed enough of my liver and kidneys in my younger years.

    Re: What irritates you?

    This isn't really an irritant, but I didn't know where else to whine about it a bit, so I'm doing it here.

    Man, talking to a parent about wills, medical directives, powers of attorney and life insurance stuff is a freaking downer. It's one of the only times where I feel any anger toward my brother... leaving me to handle all that shit by myself when the time comes.

    Handed a waiter a $50 bill on an $8 tab, he takes the money and asks "how much do you want back?". seriously?? I just looked at him and sai "umm, all of it..." You don't straight up ask your customer how much they want to tip you. You say "be right back with your change". I took $1 off his tip to teach him a lesson (still left a $4 tip, I'm not a complete dick).

    I don't know that a waiter would get the lesson with a 50% tip

    I hate when they just skip giving you back the coin change, definitely take a dollar off for that.

    That's odd in the actual store, where they have a cash register.

    Delivery though, that's pretty standard. Though, we'll eat the change as often as we'll keep it. Like, if your bill is $14.10 and you give me a 20, I'm not giving you back $5.90. I'm giving you six ones. If your bill is $14.90, I'm not giving you $5.10. I'm giving you five ones.

    This is true. Fat is probably an overstatement... But I've never met a fit 'foodie'.

    I am a foodie by definition, but yea, I would never refer to myself as such.

    And also because I don't subscribe to the snobby part of it. While I love great food and trying unique and interesting things, I also love ballgame hotdogs, dive bar burgers, and drunk 6th st diarrhea inducing pizza stand food.

    I'm not saying that you did this, but it dovetails nicely into my point....

    People that use some sort of voucher, coupon, discount, etc and base the server's gratuity based on the discounted amount rather than the normal price.

    This morning I got a call from a "debt collector," at 7:30am. Let's start with this tidbit: A law called the FDCPA prohibits calling people this early without permission from them. I was rudely awakened. I've been paying some outstanding debt down lately and cleaning up my credit, which has suddenly made the dinosaurs come out of hibernation. After pointing out its illegal to call me this early, he lays out a debt from 1997 that I supposedly owe.

    I owed like $44 to a music CD club (you know, like BMG, 10 CDs for the price of one, etc.). The funny thing is, it's me, you got me. Wasn't aware that I owed money to them, I didn't think they keep sending you CDs if you don't pay them. And then he says, "I'm an attorney and my co-workers are police officers, and there are serious consequences for not paying this immediately."

    I take a long breath, then, "If you're a fucking lawyer, you're a shitty one. You're way outside the statute of limitations, your debt is legally unenforceable in the state giving rise to the transaction, and if you had given any thought or actually looked at my credit report you'd know that I was 15 at the time and legally unable to enter into a contract because I was a minor, therefore, your attempt to collect a debt fails as a matter of law on several levels. Also, I don't actually owe this debt, you're probably a shady fly-by-night extortion scheme. Go kill yourself and fuck your garbage dispenser so it eats your dick so you can't reproduce, you are the weakest link, goodbye." He then says I'm going to be arrested for threatening him. So, I'm like, "Let me educate you on the definition of a threat...nothing said here even remotely constitutes an illegal threat except you illegally threatening to have me arrested. Fuck off." I hung up. So that's how my day started.




    This is why I rarely get drunk anymore. I destroyed enough of my liver and kidneys in my younger years.
