23. 1,000 Downloads & A Lot of Opinions: Our February Rant Fest

We just hit 1,000 downloads and we’re so grateful to all of you for listening! As a thank you, we're ready to dive into all the things that have been driving us crazy lately with a classic rant session!Irene gets us started with one of her biggest pet peeves: delivery drivers who leave stuff directly in front of her door! Doordash and Instacart have been huge blessings for people like us who hate driving. But our gratitude is dampened every time we have to weasel our way out of a little crack in the door to get our food! And don't even get us started on the ones who show up reeking of weed. That smell gets on our food bags, which is just gross.Another thing that really gets under my skin is when service providers size you up and charge you based on what they think you can afford rather than having a standard price list. It's so manipulative and obvious! I've had this happen with everything from home repair estimates to nail salons where the price mysteriously changes between visits for the exact same service.We also need to talk about drive-through etiquette because it's getting ridiculous out there. Pull up to the appropriate spot so the person behind you can order! Don't leave a whole car length in front of you when we're all boxed in with no way to escape. I've honked at people and gotten the finger in return, but I'm not trying to be rude! I just want to pay and leave. And while we're at it, stop staring at your phone and pay attention to the line moving. This isn't a contest to see who gets their food first. Just scoot up, people!Finally, I have to vent about Chili's discontinuing their Skillet Queso. I am genuinely angry about this. That queso has been my favorite thing there for as long as I can remember, and it's won actual restaurant awards! Why would you get rid of something that's clearly beloved? This happens all the time with restaurants and retailers - they discontinue their best-selling items for no good reason. Olive Garden does it, Victoria's Secret does it with their best-fitting bras, MAC does it with top-selling makeup. There are so few simple pleasures in life, so why take them away?Connect with us: WebsiteInstagram
