I've heard that once you reach a certain age, more things annoy you.

Took my son to the drive through at Wendys yesterday. Greeted at the speaker by an exuberant, overly cheerful voice, who heard number one single and nothing beyond that. The order came to $18.06. Wendys offers a military discount and I typically ask for it as I did yesterday.

Got to the window, cheerful, maybe 18 something year old cashier says $18.06. I showed her my id and she said oh right, military, and gets her manager, comes back and says you need to show your ID to my manager. No problem. Haul it out again. Manager looks, fiddles with the register, and cashier tells me $18.06. I said wait a minute, how come the price with the discount is the same price as it was without the discount. Really not sarcastically, I consciously check myself for that; I was just confused.

And she says, simmer down, simmer down.

So now I'm irritated as crap. I swear to God, you can say almost anything to me and I'll let it blow over mostly. But simmer down, calm down are trigger words to me. Especially if I'm not irritated. Yet.

This is why I have all the apps on my home screen. I just place my order there and say a code or name or whatever they ask for when I get to the speaker. You usually can get pretty good deals at McDonalds, Taco Bell, Wendy’s.

You also were probably just hangry, I get pretty agitated if I have to wait in the drive through for very long when I just want my chicken sandwich. But then once I smell those fries I calm down

Last time I was down on the Norfolk base, I followed a guy (?) in to the pass office that apparently worked in the building. He was flagrantly openly screamingly over-the-top gay, from his hairdo and makeup to his pretty painted toenails on sandaled feets. I was choking back the laughter and I think he(?) knew it. Should I feel bad?

Hell no, I would have been on the floor laughing!

Nah, didn't even wait two minutes and I don't eat there; my son likes it. I just resent "simmer down" when I'm not upset, from a kid young enough to be my granddaughter. And "I hope you find God"? Judgmental. Maybe I'm agnostic, maybe I'm Wiccan or one of those religions that doesn't believe in God. Regardless it's absolutely none of her business. The comment was seriously unprofessional regardless of her profession.

She gives me the new price I pay. She gives me the food and says she hopes I find God.

At this point, I'm ready to tell her, she's about to find God herself and it won't be pleasant.

I swear I'm this close to yelling at kids on my lawn.

I was at the McDonald's by Hobby Lobby awhile back. Ordered an unsweetened Iced tea. Got it. Took a drink. It was sweet.
Took it inside & told the girl working the register that I ordered an unsweet & they gave me a sweet tea. She asks me if I was sure if it was sweet...

She discovered it was sweet tea and I discovered you could get banned from McDonald's...
