What Annoyed You Today?

Windows 7 is bad enough !
I was happily running XP Pro, but had to change as the support was due to end. Why they make such drastic changes to the basics, I'll never know. Improve by all means, but if it ain't broke, don't ****ing fix it !!!

Updating the allergy advice sheets at work.

The law states i have to tell guests if any of my dishes contain any of the 14 most commen allergens.

So i have to tell people the prawn sandwich contains prawns, the egg sandwich has eggs in it and the scotch egg is made of egg !

....and a bag of peanuts may or may not contain peanuts. I remember back in the 60-70s, of the scores of people I knew, one person was allergic to something.....camels. Now it's every second person. Can't disagree people have allergies, but what happened?

over here pregnant women are told not to eat lots of things, shellfish peanuts, soft cheese etc
i honestly believe this is part of the reason more people have allergic reactions to those products !

and if it is dangerous for pregnant women to eat brie or camembert, how come France is still there ?

i have to prepare a data sheet for the 14 most common food allergens for every dish on every menu i produce, in 18 months since this has been law not one person has asked to read it.

last week a woman ate chocolate brownie i have on the dessert menu then realized it had walnuts in it and she is allergic.
she didnt ask just assumed it was nut free and apparently i should have know she might be allergic to nuts !

there is a balance to be had between keeping people informed but not cluttering up menus with safety information but generally guests are too lazy to ask questions even if it is them that will get ill from eating the wrong things.

In camp they list various edibles as "Gluten Free". I always order extra gluten.

I have to agree about the sudden pandemic of allergies. It makes me truly wonder, how we humans have managed to survive over the ages.

In the U.S., a child is no longer allowed to bring a peanutbutter & jelly sandwich to school, because it's proximity to children with allergies is a cause for concern. Interestingly enough, shortly after the PBJ sandwich was banned, it also became labelled as "racist" for some odd reason, so they are virtually non-existant now.

I honestly can't think of any of my friends in grade school that had any allergies except for this one girl, who was allergic to strawberries...but that's about it.

When we were kids, we climbed on stuff, we fell out of stuff, we got dirty, we got soaking wet, we chased (and caught) bugs, snakes, lizards and everything else. We ate sugary things, we ate things with glutin, we ate nuts and anything else under the sun. We played games and some of us won and some of us lost. We played cops and robbers, cowboys and indians.

Amazingly enough, none of us suffered from bacteria infections, exposure to the elements, allergic reactions or irreparable psychological damage when we lost a game or someone pointed a finger at us and went "bang!"

It's shameful to see what's become of today's society, to be honest.

Yep, and when you see a pack of sleeping tablets with a warning that they might make you drowsy, then that's the time to despair !
What the **** would you expect a sleeping tablet to do - help you run a marathon, explore the outer reaches of the nearest galaxy ?

The amount of people on this planet that think they can drive a car with their heads shoved up their posterior!!!

Well, it is not strange if you know that the government has to do an awareness campaign to make people aware that Facebook and Twitter should not be used while they are driving a car.

few weeks ago we had a woman come in for afternoon tea, she announced with no warning she was gluten and dairy intolerant and was allergic to chocolate !
how was i supposed to provide cakes and scones to those specs with zero notice ?
