Compliants . . .

Yeah, that's what it says, 'Complaints.'  I have a few, so here goes.

Seems like everyone complains about the weather, so I'm gonna complain too.  Yesterday it was 60 degrees around here.  Not completely unheard of, but it isn't supposed to be that warm around here in January.  Today, the temperature made it to the mid-20's, with 20- 30 mph winds.  The wind chill was in or close to single digits most of the day.  This isn't the only time this month that there have been temperature extremes.  It is supposed to be cold in January, not this up and down stuff.  What can ya do around here when the temps are in the 50's.  It is just a waste of heat.  

Then there the misplaced lists.  I am a list maker.  Works pretty good for me . . . if I don't lose or forget my lists.  I was makin a list of complaints for this blog . . . and now I can't find my list.  

I don't need a list for this one.  Every try to type when you don't get your fingers on the home keys.  I'm very good at gettin one hand or the other one key off.  The I don't notice till I have half a sentence typed.  I hate that.  

Then there the sandwich names.  Wendy's sent me a sheet of coupons to be used during January.  I decided to use my free Son of a Baconator sandwich coupon today.  It was going to be my first Son of a Baconator sandwich.  When the nice lady asked me for my order, I said 'I would like a Son of a Biiii . . . aconator sandwich'.  Then without missin a beat, I said 'you know, they really need a better name for that sandwich.'  The order takin lady seemed embarrassed, but the manager had a heck of a good laugh.  I wonder how they got that one through the focus groups.  Baconator is a catchy name, but son of a baconator can be pretty difficult to say . . . if you know what I mean . . . 

While I'm on fast food restaurants, someone has finally come up with a way to dispense lids without them stickin together or without them explodin everywhere.  I was somewhere out of town and in a fast food place, that I don't remember the name of this winter.  I had a heck of a time findin the lids.  Then I spotted them.  They were in this neat lookin, stainless steel box with little doors on the front.  If ya pull the door open, a single lid comes out.  It is held vertically, not flat.  Very easy to pick up and put on your cup.  The guy who invented that device should be named 'Inventor of the Year!'  How long is it gonna take for every place to get these dispensers??

I could go on and on . . . if I could find that list of complaints I was makin . . .
