Annoyances

[Ignatius J Reilly]

When I get blatantly cut off and the other driver gives ME a dirty look.

Driving home 15 minutes ago, I was driving home in the left lane and a woman comes flying around the corner in a brand new Navigator to try to beat the car to the right of me.  Trouble is, she turns so fast that she ends up across BOTH lanes.  Had to swerve into thankfully absent oncoming traffic.  She stopped next to me at the next light and sees me staring at her.  She rolls her window down and says "WHAT!?!"  I said "Learn to freaking drive.  My kids are in the car you dumb bitch."

It was then that I realized 1) the irony of cussing to make a point about being responsible around children and 2) that I had briefly forgotten that my son's friend was also in the car.

When I can't get the balance of wasabi and soy right while eating sushi. Add a touch of soy, now it tastes of nothing except soy. A tiny dot more wasabi, and now my nose is melting off my face.

Is this sushi you bought in a little plastic box?

Funnily enough it was; I know that supermarket sushi generally isn't very good but I live in a very Asian area, the sushi is made fresh at a T&T concession inside the store.

Do you mix wasabi into the soy, or just try to put both on the sushi?  I tend to mix them until I have a perfect balance, then dip the sushi.

[Johnny English]

Always mix.

I just wanted to make sure you weren't doing it to nice sushi.

I like eel sauce and spicy mayo mix, I am not a fan of wasabi and soy.

I don't worry too much about my ratio because I try not to overdunk the pieces, but I'll lean on the wasabi side because spicy is a more interesting taste than salty.

Are you not supposed to dunk good sushi in soy and wasabi? I like sushi a lot but I couldn't claim to know an awful lot about it. I only learned a couple of years back that the pickled ginger is supposed to be eaten between pieces to keep flavours distinct.

Is this a thing, or are you doing an MB?

Depends on if you are a hipster or not.

If it's really high quality stuff, you don't want to step on it with anything.

If it's an $8 container, go nuts.

Do you use steak sauce at Ben and Jacks?

I don't know actually, a friend of mine mixed the 2 and he's a sushi afficionado, knows all the fish and how to prepare them and the best chef's down here. I tried the same and it was great, he also special requested some Korean sauce I can't remember that's really good with sushi as well.

To answer your question honestly, I am not trying to be MB.

Edit: my friend is nutty about sashimi, sushi is secondary.
