Day 73: Pet Peeves

I have a headache today and people are not helping.

Number 1: When you call a restaurant to make a reservation, know how many people are in your party and what time you'd like to come in. Also, please don't call me to stay on the phone with you while you make your reservation online. And don't call at 12-1 or 5-7. And don't call for a reservation in 15 minutes from when you call. And don't ask me for a quiet table in a noisy restaurant so you can do business; there must be offices somewhere for that.

Number 2: Don't look for your metro card while standing in the subway turnstile. Have it ready before or step aside.

Number 3: Perverted old men who think they can say anything to young girls who have to serve them at restaurants and are so bad the girl is forced to give the table to a male server.

Number 4: Men in suits, people who walk slow, and children.
