What things bother you the most?

Eve wrote:I have a gripe. I asked a friend who invited us to dinner if there was anything we could bring early on today.
She had all day to decide and called around 5 while we were at the market and said bring nothing, just yourselves.
Then 15 minutes before we were to go over to her house she calls and says if we wouldnt mind could we please go buy a bottle of $20 red wine for her. Of course we said yes. But the store we had to go back to is a 10 mile round trip. And of course since we were going to dinner we would not accept any money for it.
She could have faced the fact she'd be drinking earlier and not taken up a half hour of our time so she could drink.
Im fed up with people lying to themselves at my expense. :grumble:
And pretend they arent alcoholics by drinking more expensive wine. Honestly she has no palate, an $8 bottle would have been just fine. :rolleyes:

Oh, and worse yet all we got was a few lettuce leaves and a single turkey burger. Not even a side dish or anything after.
Oh well, it good to be thin. :beaten: My husband ate dinner once we got home again. :hehe:

I'd have been embarrassed to serve just that and ask for a $20 wine.....it takes all kinds. :shakehead:

The proper thing to do would have been to pour the wine on the turkey burger patty to moisten the meat.

Yow.

And this is a friend?? :sweat:

Ive known her since we were kids. She has a generous side and then she has a clueless side.

And, Yes, TU, she can be very tacky on occasion. Comes from having too much family money I think. Not reality based.

Glad you survived the occasion. ;)

Turkey burger, no side items...that's just inconceivable.

Maybe for yourself but for guests? Shiet, you might as well buy the food prepared from somewhere and just served it then or just treat at restaurant.

There's a burger joint in Torrance that has ostrich burgers. :mrgreen:

With the amount of product placement nowadays, if you've ever bought a dvd or blu-ray, then you've already paid for ads. :beaten:

That's different: At least it's in the flow of the movie, not an abrupt stop to shill a product.

Hooray for BitTorrent. :beaten:

Ads are still ads and you pay for them.
Unless you got the BT route, as was pointed out. :mrgreen:

I thought you meant product placement within the movie itself.

Ads on the DVD I can fast-forward through... You can't do that on TV unless it's a VCR/DVR recording.

Just joking of course. Your point is well taken.

Beastmaster:

I dunno, you got a "free" turkey burger and it only cost $20. When I went in the Navy, I got a "free" peacoat and it cost me 4 years of my life.

Looks like you got a bargain. :P

When I over-indulge myself and then feel bad about it later. :shakehead:

That's on way to look at it. :bonk: :bonk: :bonk: :mrgreen:

So that's where that peacoat came from. :victory:
