TOP TEN THINGS I HATE: #10

OK, here's an attempt at writing something more whimsical than the ravings of some mad mullahs far, far away. Please note that the exact magnitude of my hatred of something has nothing to do with its nature whatsoever; Islamic terror is as likely to be on this list as fluffy dice in cars and cheesy environmental-awareness ads. Without further ado, presenting no. 10...

10. BULK ORDERS AT FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS

Imagine joining a nice and short queue, probably no more than two or three people in front of you. Then it dawns on you why THIS queue is so short and everyone else is lining up at the others--because the person in front is doing all the talking and his tray is filling up with enough food to feed the entire SAF.

You've seen it, I'm sure; huge families, groups of students sending one rep to order while they huddle over piles of change; or a gigantic take-out. These orders are unavoidable though something of a nuisance; but at least I'm more annoyed than outright willing to pull a... wait, guns are banned. I've no time to think of consequences for holding up the line while so many more servings are piled on, so I'll just serve this up as no. 10 on my list.

More to come...
