Post 144: Even more pet peeves (The mystery of the one-sided bagel)

A few months ago I was in Florida and I went to one of my favorite

 spots (Einstein bagels) and I noticed that my everything bagel had

 spices on it, but only one side...Why? It is a Florida thing. New York

 bagels usually have seasonings on both sides.. Are they being

 cheap? or is it quicker to only spice one side? I don't know...I also  

recently went to a very good gluten free bakery on Long Island and

spent $3 for for a  gluten free bagel, and surprise seeds on only

 one side...I felt ripped off.

It makes me wonder if anyone has experienced the same thing. It 

sounds picky, but I have my standards. It also got me thinking about 

other things that are one-sided or two sided...and have you ever felt

the same way?

In New York we pay for two license plates, but in Florida they only 

require one...So, we pay twice the cost for license plates. Somehow 

this seems unfair. 

Also, why is it that supermarkets always leave out the prices of 

certain things. I was in King Kullen supermarket checking out the 

organic blueberries, and of course there were no prices. Sometimes I 

wonder if it deliberate because they don't want you to know how 

expensive it is.

Another thing that bothers me is why do I inevitably get a shopping 

cart that malfunctions halfway through my shopping. What is it? Is 

there a self-destruct button to bother shoppers? And how about 

Granny carts" why do they inevitably lose one wheel...Technically 

they still work, but one wrong move and eggs are on the ground.

Maybe I'm just being petty.

Also, how about when you take out food only to discover that 

something is missing from your order.  It happens all the time, and if 

you don't take the time to check your order it always seems like they 

got over on you.

Then there are people who drive with their handicap parking permit

 on their rearview mirror. I mean I understand they are handicapped

 like my mother but do they realize it can obscure their visibility and

 its also illegal to drive with it on?  Also, the people who aren't

 handicapped but park in handicap spaces...I mean really...really..I've

 seen fights break out over handicap spaces...DO THE RIGHT

 THING!

I really don't want to be like the guy from Network who said "I'm 

mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore." I can't get that 

upset because we have a pandemic raging around the world.  But I 

guess I can still get irked, maybe that means the little things are 

becoming more important in our lives and we are returning to a new 

normal in the USA.
