Or you go out with a friend to do something planned, and they suddenly have a couple extra stops to make or people to talk to etc that weren’t in your social energy budget so you’re left running an unplanned deficit
My wife does this kind of thing so much, “One More Thing.” No! I was told that we would do Thing A and Thing B, and then be on the way home by Time O’Clock!
AND NOW IT’S TIME THIRTY AND I’M GRUMPY!
By Time Forty-Five, I’m just sitting in the car waiting for people to get in it.
That’s the kind of problem you’re supposed to solve before you get married.
Pobody’s nerfect.
I’m colonizing this phrase.
I may just cancel or leave when that happens. Kinda funny since my friend brought this up today. Not quite the same but in the same ballpark. Not too long ago I was on the way to my friend’s house to go see a movie with them. They changed plans while I was on the way to them and wanted to meet at the theater instead. I just went home.
Sounds stupid when typed out but that was like the 4th or 5th time plans had changed that day and it was just too much for me. It’s very uncommon for that to happen to me.
Me sometimes when I check the restaurant’s menu on google maps only to realize later the photo of the menu was from 4 years ago.
it’s fucking baffling how terrible many places are about providing basic information online, half the restaurants either simply have no website or they refer you to a page on facebook that has jackshit information…
holy shit just put a text document onto github and buy a cheapo domain, PLEASE
Something that drives me batty is when a restaurant has an Instagram account that’s recommended to me but has no address in the profile. Nope, even if you’re around the corner I’ll never go near you.
Then you look at the menu and all recipes are made with hipster ingredients nobody ever heard of.
I only ever google a menu if I need info to chose a restaurant (do they have vegetarian options, do they have something other than sea food?, etc) to make sure whomever party I’m inviting will be comfortable
I never read the menu in advance for me, that’s like reading the plot summary of the movie before going to see it
I’m vegan so I have to see if there will be anything I can eat.
Fair use case ;-)
I almost always check for the customer menu pictures on Yelp. It’s kind of interesting seeing how the menu visually changes over time…and the prices slowly increase.

I’m vegan. A lot of places don’t have vegan food, so I need to look ahead of time.
Maybe you wanted a specific thing, so you did research and you found a restaurant with the thing, and you get there and they don’t have the thing. You’ve wasted a trip.
Is it the end of the world? No. Is it worth leaving the restaurant? No. Is it frustrating? Yes
Laziness and entitlement.
As a lifelong food service worker customers do not give a single fuck about how what they do impacts the store at all.
And even if it’s an upper management issue the employees in the store have to suffer for it.
