The cup changing thing is a health precaution, in Indiana there is a stiff fine for not changin the cups. It has something to do with hepatitis, also the cups are a cheap waxed paper, they really are only good for one fill anyways, nothing annoys me more than getting a refill in the same cup, and then havin the bottom fall out while your drivin down the road.

Geez, if I had wanted a combo, I would have said that in my order first, the same order I was TRYING to give, just before I got cut off in mid sentence.
HAHA! My das is SO impatient with people at the drive-thru. We were at taco bell a couple nights ago and the guy came on saying "Would you like to try the new chicken quesadilla?" And my dad said "NO!" in a harsh tone. I started laughing, and my dad started ordering. He said the order like he was reading a list "grilled stuft burrito. No tomatoes. 2 tacos. large pepsi. medium mountain dew.. and so on." I was laughing for the next 20 minutes. He says the order all fast, then he gets in a rage if they mess up the order. Sometimes he stops the car and switches with me or my mom just so he doesn't have to order in the drive thru.

There is nothing in the world that bugs me more!! I got to the point where I asked if they would get fired if they didnt ask you that.
Now before I even order I say "First of all, I DO NOT want the combo!"

At the parts store I used to go to, I asked for a rotor to go in the distributer of whatever I was working on at the time. The girl couldn't find it (on her screen), and asked me 3 times if I was sure it wasn't a brake part. I realize that it would have made her job a lot easier if it had been, but it wouldn't have helped my car one bit.

There really should be some kind of basic qualifications to work a parts counter - perhaps the ability to distinguish feces from Shinola, or one's own rectum from a hole in the ground.

Why does Wendy's always have the bag and the drink hanging out the window, when you pull up to the pickup window. It's like they are trying to get rid of you.

I've gotten to where I just turn the computer around at Autozone and look up my own parts. Shortens the process when all you have to do is point at the part number (with on hand quantity ) and say "Give me that".
