I told the sales girl just what I REALLY wanted one day and ended up singing soprano.

 

Hey, there's my 4th complaint ... Sales girls that don't give 100%.

 

On my first day of school my parents dropped me off at the wrong nursery. There I was...surrounded by trees and bushes.

Just a little off topic but on the subject of revenge on annoying clerks... Go to a Dunkin Donuts... Order donuts.. Ask them what the little piece of waxed paper is for... Answer "So we don't get germs from our hands on your food." (or something similar).... Then you say " In that case why are you throwing it in my bag with my food then?" If you really wanna be annoying ask to speak to a manager, see what he says! Freaks 'em out every time!

 

Also sure fire way to always get fresh food at a fast food rest like McDonald's... Always ask for something 'special'.... No onions, no pickle, etc. Then they have to make it fresh. No burger that's been sitting under a heat lamp for an hour!

[+eroyd]

Oh! You'll get something special on your burger alright!

Since we have switched gears and are talking about fast food, I'll expand on Dru's post here. How about that super annoying Taco Bell Automated Drive Thru Answering Machine. When you pull up, some guy in a jamaican accent asks you if you want a Super Deluxe Combo Mega Bean Triple Threat Burrito Meal with extra hot sauce, a side of Mega Super Duper Nachos, and a Pineapple Slice. Of course you always have to answer NO, and then you proceed to order. Well, since it was an automated response the dufus taking your order is never ready. They then in a totally different voice and accent ask if you would please repeat that. You know, if they aren't ready to take the order, then turn off the automated suggestive sell recording!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I feel much better now.

Something really special. Besides you know all they do is open up that burger that has been sitting around for days and scrape the sauce off of it or through pickles on it whatever the request is. Also you know that ordering something special pisses them off even more than they already are so they will take extra care of you.

1. I also wonder why people cannot cover the cache back up so someone passing by won't accidently discover and steal it? Perhaps they think that since they found it, they don't care if it gets compromised now.

 

2. Some people take something of value and leave a penny or used ink pen or something of much less value. Come on friends, let's keep this ball rollin'.

Perhaps the reason I hate locationless caches is because I'm a locationless cacher.

 

Actually, there was a thread sometime back where people were trying to deduce each other's location based on their cache finds and hides. That's when I decided to be less specific in my profile. The thread eventually died out, but I never changed my profile back. I know I've told a few people who frequent these forums where I live, but the rest will just have to figure it out.

 

But I don't think knowing where I live will help you understand why I am the way I am.

and finding a cache sitting in the middle of a bed of poison ivy and picking up a half dozen ticks enroute and 100 new chigger bites and being enveloped in spiderwebs and close encounters with their makers...

 

[+TeamJiffy]

I am not a fan of excessively personal logs that don't tell you much about the cache. They remind me of those Christmas letters that praise 8-year-old Johnny's violin recital. I also hate the reference to "the wife"

 

"The wife and I decided, after eating pork chops and apple sauce for dinner, to get into our new SUV with 8-speaker sound, and find a Geocache with our new Garmin V. We first decided to get a quick bite to eat at this fantastic restaurant, PeePoo's, which serves a wonderful mix of Chinese/Irish food, with Scottish deserts. Their Moo-shu Corned beef and lamb chow-main are delicious. Try the haggis to top it off. We decided to get tickets to the superbowl, and chartered our own plane to take us there. We put on our new reeboks, and found the cache. Nice cache. TNLN"

You probably would not like Oregone's logs. That's too bad. Oregone sometimes doesn't even mention the cache but for a sentence or two, and the rest is hilarious rambling.

 

I made a log entry in Oregone style once.

 

I like those kind of logs... they provide an excellent mental image.

[+Planet]

Thinking you have the weekend off to go geocaching and finding out you have to work. I'd be out there right now if it weren't for that. Tomorrow too Work is one of the worst four letter words I know. Rats! darn! rackinest frackinest!!!!! So many caches, so little time....

 

Cache you later,

Planet

[+TeamJiffy]

I just checked out Oregone's logs, and JamieZ is right - they are lots of fun, and contain none of the arrogance that I see in other logs.

 

Therefore, I now have to change what I said earlier to "I hate logs that are arrogantly overly personal, and praise the person writing it, but love those that are just plain interesting, like Oregone's"

Well.. since I hadn't checked out any of Oregone's recent logs, I decided to do just that.

 

Seems his most recent logs are quite short. There is a thread somewhere about funny logs, and one of his wins easily. I hope I can find it.. he has so many logs. I'll have to do a forum search.

[+Jamie Z]

Ok.. this isn't the one I was thinking of, but it's a typical Oregone log. This is the log, in its entirety:

August 30 by oregone (487 found)

I don't know. There's this weird part of me that's always said that i'm on the wrong path. Growing up in Woodburn, i never felt at home. The confines of a small town--a place where everyone knows you and everything you do--were almost too much for me to handle. I think that explains why i USUALLY feel so at home in the relative anonymity of portland: that guy at the 7-11 i see almost every morning doesn't know my first name and i can get too tipsy at the barley mill and hit on japanese tourists and not have it end up on the front page of the paper the next morning.

 

but more often than not, i wonder what would have happened. everyone has these little 'alternative universe' theories about what woulda, coulda, or shoulda happened had they not broken up with so-and-so back in freshman year of college, or if they'd taken that job in chicago three years ago, or perhaps if they'd taken that damned paternity test or something.

 

small towns: before my visit to raymond, washington, i thought i could sum them up in five words: wanda from estacada taco time. after high school, i moved to the outskirts of estacada and--lacking anything better to do in the middle of the woods--would cruise the drive-thru of taco time looking for, uh, entertainment. and wanda fit the bill perfectly. what is it about red hair, ponytails, and too many freckles that make you want to quit any aspirations of college and just stay in your 2-story pole building for the rest of your life? perhaps it's those crazy body-suits with the little crotch snaps that were so popular in the early nineties. again, i don't know. my love affair with small towns (and with wanda) died after she left me for stupid art alexakis. That explains why i never liked that stupid everclear band.

 

and although i never wanted to go back to wanda, i DID want to go back to small towns. if not estacada, then perhaps a town not too unlike it. you know, like perhaps raymond, washington. To say the least, i was ill-prepared for what was to happen upon my arrival.

Not one mention of the cache...

 

Jamie

[+Blarndon]

my short list:

- inconsiderate people : parking in handicap spots when you are not, indiscriminate shopping cart shoving - ending in some strangers cardoor, throwing trash out the car window, not saying a simple "thank you" to pleasant cashiers, ooh I could go on and on

- people leaving religious materials in caches (isn't there some law about separation of church and cache?)

- not spelling definitely correctly -it is NOT "definAtely" (why does that one word bug me so much?)

- and finally: please put the ly on the end of your adverbs, please, I'm beggin' ya

 

Whew, I feel much better now.

Thanks!

People who don't STOP at stop signs! Some day their going to hit me. Mark my words. I live on a "Hidden Road" with no "Hidden Road" sign at a 4 way intersection with 3 stop signs, in town. It's so dangerous. If you're in my neighborhood at that intersection could you please, stop completely and check the road to the right? I need to pull out of my road. Thank you. I live in ANYTOWN USA!

 

Hopefully that will be my last complaint. Mostly I'm very happy.

TJ, I am a cyclist, although a roadie and not a trail rider. And I have to say that in the rare encounter I have with a pedestrian, the last thing I want to do is holler "on your left" as I'm approaching. I realize it's what's taught, and around other cyclists, I use that call... but in the few times that I've used that technique, what has happened every time is the pedestrian stops, turns toward me (usually to their left), and moves left, right into my way.

 

I don't understand why... I guess "on your left" is not universal, and folks are startled.

 

Usually what I'll do if I can't simply give them a wide berth is to holler something about "coming up from behind." That doesn't work well, either.

 

Um, I'm not sure what the answer is. Good complaint.
