When I was a teenager I waitressed at this pancake place. I had many peeves about customers but my two pet peeves were: parents asking a two year old child what he wanted to eat whilst I had 4-5 tables waiting for me and people asking me "how big" the silver dollar pancakes were. I always said they were about as big as "a buck and a half" and then just stared at them.
