Hipster service.

Not good honest rude service (like, say, Polish service)... just waiting a beat before serving you as if to emphasize that they're not actually a waiter. And then, "What can I get you, man?" You can stop fucking around and get me my goddamn coffee right now! Man! Get over it, you have a service job.

You totally go to the wrong restaurants.

I just had this happen today in Williamsburg. My asking the dude for a latté was if I had asked him to lend me some money. His expression didn't change when I said hi, he just looked pissed off that I ordered something somewhat complicated.

Thanks to a recent torrent of spam, I’ve had to disable comments for a while. I’ve now removed the ability to put links in the comments. Email me if you want to put something in, such as five links to knock-off handbag sites, and I’ll happily oblige.

I’ve added two features to the sidebar: Highest Rating and Hotly Debated. They will be updated daily. To my surprise, the ketchup-in-fridge peeve seemed to really incite some anger — it’s clearly a complex situation that affects us all.

It should be noted that the star ratings indicate how much you agree with, or appreciate, the peeve, not how you feel when it happens.

I will be adding a Paragon Peeves section as well, for my and my friends’ personal favorites.

Please enjoy, and contact me if you have any new feature ideas.
