I have a peeve. "Say it isn't so!" you may cry, but as a curmudgeon I am duty-bound to report such things.
As background, I must also report that I am quite the fan of fast food emporiums, be they McDonalds, Wendy's, Arby's or yes, even Taco Bell. Good food fast, generally handily close by (unless you live, as I do, in one of those self-important New Jersey towns that do not permit such scum to sully their quaint historical image), and still a reasonably good deal. So how can I have a peeve, you may ask. Easy: Drive Thru vs. dining inside.
These places actually measure how long people wait in their cars in the Drive Thru lane so they can make sure lazy customers are not disappointed by a long wait. Good for them, you may aver, but the crux is that THOSE DINING INSIDE GET SECOND PRIORITY!! As an inside diner, I have observed this inequality personally - and gosh do I get steamed.
But I need my fast food fix, so I simply behave sullenly. Hah! I show them! Anyway, who can imagine trying to eat a Taco Bell menu item in a car? It fair gives me the creeps.
Proof of the family bond - this is a long-standing peeve of mine - in fact I have been known to go through the drive through and then come inside to eat!
