Nykes's Nuisance

Here's where my OCD kicks in at the highest level. Whether in my wallet or in a cash register, nothing drives me more bonkers than money not all facing the same direction.

My job is my hobby. That being said, it is my job. I get paid to do it. I'll be the first to admit how fortunate I am to have landed a career that I love, but there is also a downside. I often get asked to lend my services free of charge.

Have you ever wondered why Taco Bell gives enough sauce packets to completely soak your food 5 times over, yet they charge you an additional 50 to 75 cents for sour cream, nacho cheese and/or guacamole? How about the endless salt and pepper packs and ketchup from Burger King, but they charge a quarter for a ranch packet...

This problem arises when someone (illegally oftentimes) takes someone's YouTube video and then uploads it to Facebook's video player. Now it's all well in good if that video ends up going viral, but it takes away from the authors views, which in turn can cost that person. That's pretty much a form of copyright infringement.

Let me begin by saying: I HATE CAPTCHAs! If you're wondering what they are, they are those dreaded alphanumeric characters you have to type in some websites to "prove you are not a robot".

I actually touched on this subject last week when I was talking bad service at fast food restaurants, but I decided to elaborate. THIS GOES FOR ALL BUSINESSES!!! If the sign says closing at 10pm, then you should close at 10pm.

You know what really grinds my gears? People that say: "you know what really grinds my gears". Okay, not really. But after I've paid my hard-earned money for something and I get half-@$$ed products, that does make me upset.
