I tried to order a 13 lb. rib roast online this morning, but they were sold out and I had to order two 6 lb. ones instead. :(

Spent 20 minutes on hold trying to make an appointment, so I decided to try online instead. Got an email back after like 20 minutes of submitting to give them a call to set up an appointment. Called back and was put on hold for another 20 minutes...

Needed CR123A batteries, only have CR2's in my battery box.

I don't even know what I own anymore that uses CR2's.

The only thing I can think of that even used CR2s would be older digital cameras and equipment. And even 20 years ago, a lot was on AA or AAA. Looked it up, and I was thinking of the 2CR5, not the CR2.

Was going to make a joke about a UPS guy delivering a package to someone's wife, but felt it was in poor taste to directly attack someone like that. Had to not sick burn someone. =(

Steam didn't auto-load everything. Now I have to go in and manually install stuff. What is this, 1993?

read the following restaurant review and makes me sad that i live in a world with this kind of shit (emphasis added):

** out of *****

I want to give this restaurant more stars. I think they deserve 5.

They just do not have healthy options for people with allergies. Not the restaurants fault. I just think it is odd that a restaurant with so many things in one spot can't offer a dairy free and gluten free option.

How is it possible to have eggs on your menu but not sell w customer egg whites only as an option?

I know the chef can make egg whites. If he can't I would be very concerned.

This is my 2nd time here.

I get the green smoothie and cappuccino with almond milk. Although this is fabulous I can't take my medication on a liquid breakfast.

I see so many lovely meal options all of which I can't get anything to eat.

$13.25 for liquid breakfast is a bit high.

I'm hoping management will consider offering options for those with food allergies.

I love the restaurant ambiance and decor and concept. Just wish I could have something to eat here.

Hopefully Darwin handles that. Looks like they will just starve themselves by going to the same restaurant where nothing exists they can eat.

I keep hearing the "WHAT NO GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS!" out and about, only to have the server show on the menu the little symbol and/or the comment to inquire about gluten-free options.

My coffee cup was dirty and in the dishwasher.

My maid (AKA, dad) wasn't available to wash it. :(

That pussy needs to just die already, because apparently life is too hard for him.
