So if you say, "This vacuum really sucks.", does that mean it's good or bad.

Is that a question?  Usually a statement like that is followed by one of these.  >> ?

One trivial annoyance of mine is the number of people that don't know the difference between resign and re-sign.

Haha, honestly I probably haven't had spaghetti in 15-20 years. I'm more of a pesto guy.

Spaghetti is technically a type of pasta/noodle.  You're more of a pesto guy over a tomato sauce (or any other sauce it sounds like), not spaghetti.

I'm not that fond of tomatoes in general, good call.

Sir, I believe you and I have VERY different definitions of the word 'trivial'

Inquiring minds want to know - what flavor was the hair?

It was Clairol flavored, prepared to a light brown/hazel color. 

I'm reminded of a story a buddy told me once of how his wife used to buy fruit pies from a local day-old bakery. One morning while driving to work he bit into one and after a couple of chews noticed something of substantial firmness and size that did not belong in a fruit pie. Rather than spit it out to see what it was and risk grossing himself out, he just washed it down with a drink of coffee.

That happened to me in an Indian restaurant.  I was eating something that was opaque and creamy, and I bit into something crunchy, but there wasn't supposed to be anything crunchy in it.  I just swallowed it, because I really did not want to know what it was.

Hair in my food makes me want to vomit.  Reminds me of a time I met my parents for a late lunch/early dinner at a local pizza place.  Which (shocker isn’t around anymore).  We order a pizza and a pitcher of beer.  There was a long hair half in the beer and half outside the pitcher.  My dad notices it and pulls it out.  I’m a bit grossed out but, I’ll have a beer. My dad told the waitress about it, but insisted it was not too much of a problem.  Just informing her.  The pizza arrives.   Baked into the pizza, you can see an “arch” of hair in the center the long ends deeply buried in cheese. This is a different story.  I’ve lost my appetite, mom did too.  Dad tells the waitress, the owner comes out.  After 2 pieces of hair the owner is convinced we “planted” them for a free meal.  Free meal? [BLEEP], we aren’t even hungry anymore!!!  Needless to say, that didn’t go over well and that was the last time we ate there.  We since referred to that place as “Harry’s”.

LOL.  I grossed my mother out one time when they were here to visit.  We went out to a place to eat, and as I was eating my burger I noticed a hair sticking out from a place where I had taken a bite.  I shrugged, pulled the hair out and finished my burger.  My mother could hardly stand it.

The thing is, as a child growing up in a semi-rural area in the late 60's and early 70's I consumed things that I probably shouldn't have.  I drank water out of a hose from a shallow well, ate live earth worms as a dare and used to eat craw fish (boiled) out of the drainage ditch on our land.  I also tasted and ate raw meat from various animals.  A human hair doesn't really phase me.

Besides... think about what you lick and/or "eat" when you are having private relations with your significant other.

I’m just gonna delete what I just said for fear of being too vulgar.  But those hairs in your last paragraph I don’t mind pulling out my mouth.  In food... HELL NO!

Now that biscuit opened up the pandora's box of hair in food, I have to share my on-topic annoyance regarding hair in food.

During college, I decided to earn a few bucks and took a job at an arby's type of fast food sammich joint. Applied, interviewed, and was hired. I should note that this was in the 90's, so I had the requisite goatee, kept trimmed to a respectable length.

About a week in to the job, I show up for a shift and the boss hands me a can of foamy and a disposable single-blade razor. "You need to go to the men's room and shave."

"Beg pardon?"

"You need to shave, it's a sanitation risk"

[Points to receding hairline] "If you are worried about hair, this is where your problem lies. Kiss my heinie (I didn't say heinie)." I turned around and walked out the door.

The next week, I go in to pick up my final paycheck, and the dude behind the counter has a full beard.
