Paying for anything in a store with a check is a douche move. Ketchup is fine on hot dogs.

In that case, the guy holding it is already inside so why does it matter if the person he's holding it for enters without touching the door? When I hold doors for people in that scenario, I just give a quick quasi-glance backwards to let them know I'm about to let go of the door, and they figure it out.

It usually only annoys me when it is a group of people and not one of them take over for the door, but you can't let go without taking them out. Especially annoying when you are going in the opposite direction.

Barbecue sauce is the only sauce that should ever go on a hot dog. Except for chili and cheese, of course. And sometimes salsa if you are in a pinch.

Ketchup should just be banned.

Paying for groceries with a check.

.

This is such nonsense. It doesn't take that long to do a check. And with these stupid chips in credit cards, it now takes longer to pay with credit card than it does to write a check.

Ketchup on a hotdog is not only acceptable, but is a sign that you are a rational human being. Barbecue sauce is fine for bratwurst, but not hotdogs.

I notice. I don't care much, but I notice. I also have to wonder about the cognitive ability of someone who can't put a sticker on when the instructions are right next to the sticker. Makes me feel good about them driving a 2000# death machine.

So if they have the cognitive ability of my 4 year old you feel better about them driving a 2000# death machine? They can put the sticker on the back of the plate for all I care as long as they don't drive slow in the left lane.

Someone who can't put a sticker on correctly probably drives slow in the left lane, doesn't know what a yield sign means, and has no idea what the stick on the left side of the steering wheel does. If they can't handle the easiest thing in life, they shouldn't be tackling harder tasks.

In a sense, I agree. This offense should not be punishable by jail time.

As soon as someone pulls out that antiquated book of dog-eared paper, someone in line (or the cashier) should calmly pull a gun and execute them on the spot.

Chicagoans. :colbert:

They have two strikes against them in my book. They can't dress a hot dog properly, and they have no idea what the hell they are doing when making pizza.

Compared to the hassle of dealing with a compromised credit card, I'll take a few seconds of processing delay any day!

barbecue sauce on hotdogs...that's weird. The majority of bbq sauces are pretty much ketchup + liquid smoke + even more sugar.

really, mustard folks. that's it. and/or kraut

and the glorious Chicago style.
