...The fact that I can't drive a standard.

You're joking, right?

It's not really sad.
Just surprising.

I've been spoiled by automatics.

Why yes; yes I am.


Not to mention: not the sharpest tool in the shed. Don't get me wrong, I am an excellent standard automobile operator as long as I go in a straight line and don't have to turn or stop.

Just throw the car in neutral every time you're confused.

I haven't owned an automatic since 1981. I get bored driving 'em; always looking for something to do with my left foot.

Oh, and on-topic, I can't stand ketchup on a fast food sandwich, but it gets on there sometimes anyway. They get 'em back.

I'm on my first vehicle that is an automatic, I miss the stick and would have gotten a 5 speed if I could have found one in the midwest.

I dont eat tomatoes on sandwiches, but do eat tomatoes on Taco Bell fare. I just never really taste them and picking them out became a real PITA.

I dont special order anything from these places. I figure it only sets me up for disappointment when they fail to get it right. It's not worth the time and effort over fast food fare.

Now, if we're talking about a 35 dollar NY Strip not cooked right--medium rare--then we're going to have to send it back.

I think the problem here stems from the Mexicans working in the joints. When we English speaking people say, NO ketchup, they here "ketchup" and think HE WANTS Ketchup.

Somehow "no ketchup" gets herd as "wanno ketchup" or something like that. The main thing, is that they don't understand a word you are saying, other than the keywords, such as ketchup, mayo, onions, etc.

If they hear the word, they put it in.

Next time, try ordering the burger by saying, PLAIN, with(######,#####,#####, on it)

Unfortunately, the fast food clerks that I deal with here don't even have that as an excuse. There aren't any Mexicans behind the counters. They're all working in the chicken plants downstate.
