Even more peeves

 Baruke Griffiin is peeved with some of my pet peeves:

I was troubled by you and your friend’s article. Some of the grievances I could relate to however I think it’s a bit pompous to imply that a servers tongue piercing is offensive. How old are you?  What next then? 

Camera flashes!! I almost busted a gut laughing. Would you send a pet peeve letter to God for allowing a storm during meal time? 

 

Good ones from Bob Hayes in Columbia:

How about when you're seated next to the kitchen or bath rooms when your party is about the only ones in the restaurant, simply to fill the room according to the servers' areas?  Or, the infamous "bringing the entrée while you're still working on the appetizer's"?

I'm young, and have no problem with tongue, lip, or brow piercings (lots of my friends have them), but I COMPLETELY agree with Elizabeth when it comes to having waiters and waitresses with face or tongue rings. It's just gross when you're eating. If I wanted Travis Barker serving my food, I'd eat in the back room of a dive bar.

I've got a pet peeve, it happened again last night. We were at a casual restaurant in Severna Park, the tables around us were being bused through the meal and I kept getting whiffs of a not so clean cloth mixed with cleaning solution. I appreciate clean tables, but there has got to be a better method.
