You would not enjoy being at my hosue then. I like eggs and eat a lot of them. I usually have one of these century eggs for breakfast. It makes the "egg" flavor much much stronger.

There's a place in Corvallis where I just moved from (still only about 30 minutes away, we go down there relatively frequently) that makes a Campinion Burrito - they grill up asada, onions, and mushrooms together, toss it in a tortilla with some guac and sour cream. It's so drippy and delicious.

I'm in, let's go! Thanks @Ron Mexico , looking forward to it!
Playing at home on a Nationally televised game, a player hits a HUGE shot that extends your lead to about 20 points, the opponent’s coach immediately calls the timeout.
Crowd’s going wild.
The player’s elated running, hopping to the bench.
The assistant coach runs to him and saying something in his ear, the player stops to listen, trying hard as the crowd is LOUD.
Couldn't the assistant have waited til he’s sitting down???????? Did he need to stop his elation right there???
What was so important about the message that he had to tell him right then?????

@Jason
I clicked the "Laugh" emoji on this post yesterday and didn't realize it didn't show up. I came back today and saw that my reaction was not there so I tried to click the laugh emoji again and it didn't show up. So I just clicked the basic thumbs up and that showed up then I changed it to the laugh emoji and that finally worked.
Never noticed that before so no idea if this is a real issue or just a weird one-off.
Hmm, strange. What device and browser were you using? Start a thread in Community Disc if you see it again?

The way some people review stuff.
I was on Yelp! and a review for a park caught my eye. It was for Lodestone Park in Kearns. Most reviews were very positive and from a diverse set of perspectives, young, old, people with kids, people with dogs, gatherings, all that. One guy gave the park a 1-star review due to his visit on EASTER weekend because the park was crowded and the garbages were full. He very importantly announced that he would not be coming back and he was going to tell all his friends to not go to that park! Like, oh no! I hope that park doesn't go out of business because of all the customers this review is going to turn away. It's like this guy doesn't understand how parks work.
That got me curious so I looked at his profile to see his other reviews. He is a typical 1 or 5 star reviewer. Never a three or four star review, either it is a perfect score or a worst score from him. I hate that kind of reviewer and it almost always indicates that their reviews are about them and not about the thing they are going to review, especially true if almost half their reviews are 1 star. If the place made them feel special 5 stars. If they feel like they were not treated like a VIP 1 star.
He gave a restaurant 1 star because he had to wait for a table even though there were open tables. So the guy doesn't know how parks work and doesn't know how restaurants work either. There are many factors that determine how many customers a restaurant can accomodate, and number of tables they have is NOT the biggest one. They need servers to serve those tables, bussers to clean those tables, dishwashers to provide clean dishes, cooks to make the food, etc.. To make it worse he gave a different restaurant 1 star because even though he was sat at a table it took a long time for him to get drinks. That's why you might not get sat even if there are open tables.
The cherry on top was the score keeping. In more than one review he expressed displeasure because tables that were sat after him got their food before he did. Again, this guy just doesn't know how things work.
The only thing keeping me from giving him 1-star is that he never used the stupidest phrase in all of reviewing, which is: "I would give them zero stars if I could." So because he avoided saying the dumbest thing that can ever be said in a review I give him 2-stars.

Not a pet peeve at all but sort of related. This was a review that was shared for being funny, so not something I found on my own. It was a review for a surgeon. Reviewer states that this is the most amazing doctor ever and that they literally saved their life -- 4-stars. The doctor responded jokingly wondering what they could do to get that fifth star.
