Shout "Earthquake!" and a San Franciscan won't bat an eyelash. We're a tough lot (by California standards), but there are certain sentences we just can't stand to hear uttered. The following are basically nails on a chalkboard to anyone inside the 7-by-7:
1. "We can't seat you until your entire party arrives."
2. "Former Giant _________ was traded to the Dodgers."
3. "Street parking only."
4. "Hi, this is your landlord calling. I have some news…"
5. "We've all decided to meet up in Oakland."
6. "Due to police activity, this BART train is delayed."
7. "We're predicting a big rainstorm for the next 24-48 hours."
8. "Zuckerberg's renovation permits got approved."
9. "I'm sorry, Tartine is out of morning buns."
10. "OpenTable finds no available reservations."
11. "I'm coming to San Francisco! Can I stay with you?"
