    Or ones that take only payments through smart phones (I mean, I'm ok unless it's a no signal area) but at least a couple of my friends would have trouble.

    Seeing as one of the 3310's is still my back up phone, yep, but I like it. Solid as a rock, the battery lasts (and i have spares for it)
    My mates do have newer devices, but typically haven't gone for fully net capable ones. I've had to because there are certain apps I needed to use:(

    People who don't know how to merge.

    There's a ramp I take to work from one major highway to another. It starts out as 2 lanes, then merges into two right before it gets to the highway. So many drivers, I'm trying to find space between cars to merge in, and the car behind me in the other lane is STILL trying to edge around me, long past the merge point.

    I've been feeling like shit since I was at work this afternoon, but I forgot to drink for several hours, so I'm hoping I just got dehydrated and I'm not getting sick. I haven't even been there a week, so I really can't take time off.

    I'm sick, my mom just brought me a thermometer and I have a 101.5 fever. She also got a COVID test, so she's getting that ready as I type this.

    Thanks, the first COVID test didn't work, but I tried a second and it might have been negative, but it wasn't clear. My mom's gonna get another pack later to try.

    What the :censored: kind of hotel bartender doesn’t know how to make a gin and tonic? :confused:

    Car was driving less than 20 down a main street. Got to the point where multiple cars behind it all caught up to it and formed a line. Was the person looking for an address? A parking spot? Apparently neither because this went on for quite a distance. Then the person finally speeds up, but only for a few seconds. Then starts driving slowly again! Was this person on the phone? Was an old person driving?

    Eventually I reached my turn so it was no longer my issue.

    Maybe said bartender was just pulling your leg.

    On the topic of alcoholic beverages, the downright worst cocktails I have ever gotten were from semi-upscale to upscale 'fine dining' places that have been open for decades. I ordered a sidecar from one, and was given this blended-ice slushy abomination. At another, I got an Old Fashioned that was a hazy bright pink mess of smashed fruit, and much too sweet. It's like they got stuck in a cocktail rut forty years ago and never caught on to the craft cocktail movement of the last decade or so.

    I agree, they were probably messing with you, or they were being a jerk for some reason. Gin and Tonic is like Bartending School 101 stuff. You wouldn't be able to get licensed if you didn't know how to make such a basic drink.

    What did they eventually end up giving you?
