The donut shop!
« on: July 17, 2015, 08:09:07 am »
OK, I received just punishment today for indulging in having two donuts!  The donut shop is packed out with people in line.  Two of them in front of me order two dozen donuts each.  I am totally convinced that business offices send the most incompetent and indecisive people to get donuts for the office.  It took each individual 90 seconds per donut to figure out what "the" next donut needed to be!!! 
 :BangHead: :BangHead: :cussing: :cussing:

I'm not kidding!   And who in the world gets one of each weird donut such as a strawberry something or another donut with candy sprinkles. What kind of person would serve something like that to an adult?  I am NOT making this up!!!  And then some other weird donut like carmel with some bizarre crème stuffing.  They only get ONE of each weird donut.  Both individuals changed their mind about a particular donut AFTER it was placed in a box & had it put back in order to stand there for 5 minutes to figure out the next "right" donut.  I am truly not kidding about this.

One of these individuals had black nylon socks up to his knees, shorts and a green and white horizontal wide striped shirt.  I should have been able to just glance at him and discern that he would not be able to make a decision competently!  I am sure he would have order green and white striped donuts with candied sprinkles if there had been some, but he probably would have asked if they were made by environmentally friendly sugars sold by countries with green peace treaties with the UN. 
 :dontknow: :help:

By the time I got back to the office with my empty bag (as I had eaten both donuts in the short 1/2 mile I needed to drive), I was a good candidate for "anger management".  And I am a laid back easy going person.

And the other thing .............. why in the world would a donut shop sell grande moocha cappachino truffle lattee's with Europeon cinnamon sticks with ice???  It takes longer to make that then it took me to drive to the donut shop.

OK ............. I feel much better now & am totally chilled out.    Have a great day and remember to avoid donut shops on Friday mornings.

Love and peace to all,  Tubenit

Self analysis and treatment works well when you know what you're doing. You were always in good hands!   :icon_biggrin:

It's not always (but usually) the most incompetent person that gets the donuts. We had a rule for our all-hands meetings. If your cell phone makes any noise, you will bring donuts to the next meeting. We always had plenty of complimentary donuts at every meeting.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Something we agree on. I have lost count of the number of times I've walked into Dunkin', seen some (obviously a) moron picking out 1 of each and walked back out.


Having anything other than
a: glazed
b: chocolate glazed or
c: chocolate glazed with chocolate icing is just
 d: stupid.


Mostly I just stop at Sheetz, get a coffee (black) and nothing else. I save up the calories for Guinness.
