What gets on your nerves?

[HappyLawyer]

Perhaps i am just having a pissy day today, but i swear i am on the phone and this lady has asked me the same question like 5 times, i mean geez, how many times do i have to tell her it is not an option? does she think the more she asks my answer will change. I think i will unplug the phone today, because if not, i will probably get fired.

If we're talking phone peeves, how about the menu systems that are ONLY voice activated? Menu systems are bad enough, but when you are sitting in the middle of a cube farm and you have to recite your SSN or credit card number, that is not just annoying it also stupid.

People who drive in the passing lane slowly.
People who don't use turn signals.
Teachers who talk in faculty meetings but would flip out on a kid who talked while they were.
Adolescents during full moon.
Suggestive T-shirts.
From yesterday....hats in church
People who start a converation as though you have been listening in to their thoughts....I'm sorry, I have no clue what you are talking about.
That strand of lights that is half out on my prelit Christmas tree.
Smoking in non smoking rooms.
Wow...that only took about a minute.

oh i have a bunch of things!
I own a locksmith/oil change/car detaling biz and these things BUG the hell out me:

Customers come in and say:

"DO YA'LL MAKE KEYS???" (uh...duh...i have locksmith on my sign)
"DO YA'LL CHANGE OIL????" (uh, yea, its on a BIG OL SIGN ON THE TOP OF MY BUILDING!!!!!)

and this really bugs me...when people bring in NASTY cars for us to wash and they blame ALL THE MESS on their kids!!

"oh, i know it is dirty, i have 3 kids"...and they laugh....
well, why dont they pick up the damn squished cheetos in the carpet? or throw away the happy meal wrappers away? Dont they pick up after their kids??? I dont think the kids are in the drivers seat, and underneath the floor mats are popcorn, or cigarette wrappers!

Geeze........gets on my nerves!

Of course, you still give them service with a smile, right?

My housemate who leaves his dirty dishes in the washing up bowl. Fair enough, if he doesn't want to do his washing up, that's up to him (he usually does it later that day) but it means that I have to fish out his dirty dishes just so I can do mine! Seriously, just leave them on the side so that other people who do want to clear up after themselves can.

oh, ha ha ha, now that made me smile,


THANK YOU!!

But since we are on the subject, how about when you call a customer service number, get someone named Bill, but yet, they are in another country and service has been out sourced and they get mad because you cannot understand them.

Oh yes!

The customers are always right, RIGHT?

Add me to the list of people bugged by partial strand of lights out on my prelit tree!

Also, when people (ahem... my boss... ahem) make comments to make people feel sorry for them, and then expect me to respond. Sorry, you'll get no pity party from me!

When my roommates leave the sponge in a bowl filled with water in the sink... like I want to do dishes when the sponge is all wet and cold and slimey!

When one roommate in particular leaves his laundry in the drier like there aren't 4 other roommates who need to use the laundry facilities!

When roommates leave garbage on the counter, so that taking out the trash on trash day (which apparently I'm the only one capable of doing, btw) involves collecting all of it before I can take it out.

When a certain friend w/o a valid drivers license (long story, lets just leave it at "totally his fault") consistantly waits until it will make us both late to work, before he tells me he needs a ride.

Wow I sound like a really bitter person. I swear I'm not!

Drivers in my city get on my nerves. Too many rubberneckers, too many lane drifters, too many peole who ride their brakes on the interstate, too many opportunities to go from 70 to 0 in 100 feet, all because of inattention to the task at hand.

My take on this is that if you can not easily understand a language and people can not easily understand you when you speak that language then you shouldn't be in freaking customer service, especially not over the freaking phone! This one drives me insane!!!!!

 

[Evil Genius]

People who talk CONSTANTLY!! Stop all ready and let someone get a word in edge wise.

People who interject themselves into every stinkin' conversation that is going on around them. No matter how quietly you are talking.

People who comment on phone calls in the business place. I know you can hear me, but do you have to ask questions?

 

[oxfordcircus]

When my roommates...

When one roommate...

When roommates...

which apparently I'm the only one capable of doing, btw...

Time to get your own apartment.

My father insisting on using grocery store bags for garbage when I have a full box of Hefty garbage bags...it's the Depression era mentality I think.

I hear that. I used to work in a music store and would get stuff like that all the time. "Do you sell CDs?" That was ALL we sold!
One time a woman came in and said "I need to get my husband a birthday present." I asked what kind of music he liked, and she said "Oh, he doesn't really like music."

Stupid people.

People who seem to think they are inferior to everyone else, especially if they down talk others.

Stupid people.

Companies that won't pay a decent salary when they damn well know someone deserves it.

Stupid people.

Rude people.

Stupid people.

Completely self absorbed people.

Stupid people.

lmao, yes.... which I will do as soon as I win the lottery or somehow find a job in theatre that will pay for such an apartment in the metro dc area.

And I really do love my roommates... most of the time
