"slow and incoherent service from the waiters and waitresses" at Big Ed's City market? For a busy restaurant we receive better service than anywhere in the Triangle. We love this restaurant!!!

other things I dislike:

people complaining about snow days/delis/pizza/bagels
how crowded Crabtree mall is now
Capital Blvd and everything about it (except Royal India)
new cookie cutter neighborhoods and the HOA's that serve them
the Hurricanes loosing badly
poor public transportation
the DMV
inadequate aquatic facilities in western wake

Some people like to vent/complain. Some people like to complain about complainers. See, it all works out.

Styrofoam! I have lived and traveled all over the country and I have never seen so many businesses still using it for both take out and dine in. Cups AND plates! The use of disposable utensils and plates seems a lot more prevalent in restaurants here in general, I'm disgusted by the amount of waste that's generated.

Also, there is way more littering here, that's gross too!

1) Traffic around the Crabtree Valley area - it's horrible, and I have a feeling that it will be 20 years before it is fixed.

2) How developers just clear-cut the trees when building new subdivisions or shopping areas

I've been here since 1995. It hasn't changed.

That's because everyone takes home their leftovers. I think they are hoping for some botulism, but that's just me.
Head out to the N.C. Seafood Restaurant Or Smithfield's Chicken and Barbecue and watch the people carrying their festering leftovers out to the car for the drive home to JoCo.
Really? You're gonna EAT that? Good luck to you.

Oh, I thought of another one. It's in the "middle of the sun" in the summer months. I feel like I'm stuck in that one Twilight Zone episode. I am very fortunate to live in a community with a pool though. Otherwise, I would die every summer. ;-)

I can't figure out what "incoherent service" is exactly. Would you mind clarifying this for me, please?
