Several things involving Memorial Day grind my gears.
#1. "Happy Memorial Day". It's not supposed to be "happy".
#2. "Celebrate Memorial Day". You are not suppose to "celebrate" Memorial Day. You observe it.
#3. The idea that if you don't express your patriotism in a way that is personally acceptable to fill-in-the-blank (for one example, expressing patriotism on social media), you are not patriotic. (also see: NFL players kneeling)

Bringing toddler to a funeral and letting them talk, wander around during the service. Funeral was at the Funeral home. THe kid talked to who ever was holding him, or anyone next to them, the whole time. Shush, talk, shush, talk. Then his Capt America (or what ever) activated and started talking. Walk outside of the room you diptwinkies! There were at least 10 kiddos there under the age of 10 and everyone else made sure their kid wasn't disruptive. I don't want to here Pappa, FLOWERS! look! while dodging a flailing action figure as a kid toddles by. I am trying to hear a eulogy.

Office coffee maker is one of those single serve brews, except it's not Keurig, it's something called RealCup. Apparently to get around a patent, their puncture point at the top isn't directly at the center, but rather slightly bottom center.
As you all probably know, K cups are becoming a huge issue for the waste their create, so I've been trying to find a reusable one. Unfortunately, they all appear to be made for Keurig only, with a hole right in the center, and RealCup's "sustainable" option that they brag about is a pod that you still end up throwing 1/3 away.
Guess I'll be sticking to bringing the thermos in for now.

I don't care what you DO in your own personal time to "observe", but it's really not that hard to use non-offensive language meant in the spirit of the occasion. ESPECIALLY if you are a business.

Just get the K-Cups that are compostable they should work in the single serve and they dont cause the trash issue. San Francisco Bay is a great brand for that.

Walked into a bathroom at Meijer today, and promptly walked out. To say it needed attention is a gross understatement.

I know a dive bar that added it to its menu last year. Really good. They're in no way trying to be upscale. If someone is trying to turn potatoes, cheese curds, and gravy into an upscale dish, Millennials are dumber than anybody has ever envisioned.

I don't care what they do with poutine, as long as it tastes good and isn't outrageously priced. I don't know what makes a poutine "upscale", but I have had some very tasty variations of poutine that I wouldn't want to see removed from menus.

Poutine is great, it's just not upscale. The dish was created by the poor in Quebec as a way to eat on the cheap. Making a good gravy isn't expensive at all - it's drippings and flour with a little pepper and salt. Making good mashed potatoes just requires someone who is willing to actually mash and/or whip the potatoes into something that's not lumpy. Cheese curds are cheese curds. Even Wisconsin gets them right.

There are also what I'd call non-traditional poutines that aren't the standard fries, curds, gravy that are very good. Some that I've had include pulled pork, which is very good, and other ingredients. I still don't think that makes it upscale, it is just taking an original dish, and giving it a twist. Like taking a good cheeseburger, and adding bacon, sauteed onions, etc. You can have 1000 different kinds of burgers, and all are burgers, and many are very tasty combinations of flavors.

The taproom where we do Trivia on Mondays has a great poutine with pulled pork that is made with homemade tater tots instead of fries. It's delightful.
Agreed.
