OT: Off Topic 2019 part X - Can anybody beat James Holzhauer?

I have lots of pet peeves now.

Yes you buy reserved seats, doesn’t give you the right to get there 2 minutes after the movie starts making me move.

Idiotic parents taking their young kids to see rated R movies. It’s rampant lately. Us had it last night and the kid was maybe 7 was begging his stupid mother to leave and she wouldn’t. Should be arrested for child abuse. Not the theatres fault you can’t afford/find a baby sitter

Doing a quick fly by text. Wait until the whole movie is over, you’re not that important.

People that constantly eat. Stop rummaging through your box with the crinkly cellophane. Pour them into your hand.

agreed, it likely doesn`t help that I`m in the hospitality industry and the behavior of the parents with kids now is horrendous. Never have I seen a time where parents think being a buddy to their kid is more important than teaching them manners. The crap I see kids doing at the table now would have had me glued to my room for a month back when I was that age.

Almost every family sitting at the tables, heads down in their phones...when my wife and I go out to eat and when my son joins us, no phones at the table, none of us are waiting on a call to perform open heart surgery, we use that time to catch up and check in with each other

We try to have device free time. It's difficult with that being our means of communication when we aren't together. It's hard to come back to balance sometimes.
I agree though. We are super tuned in and much of my day work revolves around being online.

They've been dying a low death for a long time. Used to be a great place for a good burger and fries back in the day too

Some of my best memories from childhood were trips to Friendly's with my grandparents to get Reese's Sundaes.

Same. My grandmother would take my twin and I there almost weekly.

Pretty close to GOAT hot dogs as a kid. Not papa Gino’s but very good.

Also don’t sleep on the bbq chicken supermelt. Discovered those later in life, the friendlys in the meadow glen mall was a popular post-college hangover recovery choice for my roommates and I.

Papa Gino’s kids hot dog meal is the most underrated item on the menu.
