What gets on your nerves?

[jimmiej]

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.
Suggestive T-shirts.

AND...
People who use the left turn lane for merging...
People who run red lights...
People who smoke in undesignated areas at WDW...
Teens with an attitude...
Leaders who don't communicate...

That's enough for now.

I was wondering why you always had it set on "vibrate."

A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do...

I will be a clean machine before you get it, I promise.

Hey OXFORD---another good one...customers come in and ask me..."can you get a stain out?" I say "what kind" They say..."oh just some red kool-aid that was spilled about 6 months ago" I say...SWEETLY , "no, Im sorry I sure cant...especially out of gray carpet, but I can dye it for you". Then they get all mad.

I wanna say WELL BLOT UP THE DAMN KOOL-AID AFTER IT IS SPILLED...OR CALL THE OXY-CLEAN COMMERCIAL MAN!!!!!!!!

Charity calls, political and non-political! If I had money to help out everyone that calls, I'd be broke! I've been asking for them to take me off their lists because the calls are getting too overwhelming. If the Caller ID has a charity name on it, I no longer answer it.

I am your worst nightmare. Yesterday I commented to my wife that we'd have to donate the minivan to charity when we get done with it, because no one will pay money for it. We'll get a new car when the kids grow up a bit.

Your screenname is really bothering me. Which is it? Bama or Auburn?

 

[binny]

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.

omheck that is one of my big pet peeves as well

I was talking to a guy once who said in a very thick accent " Hello my name is Joe" and I just started cracking up. I said "no it isnt" and he just started laughing and said " Youre right!" LOL


My pet peeve today is wrapping paper. I have already posted that I have no wrapping skills. I finished what I have on hand ( a couple of things are still coming in) and they turned out ok but it would sure be nice if the stupid wrapping paper would cooperate! Thats my story and Im sticking to it!

My dog is really, really getting on my nerves. He whines to go outside and 5 minutes later scratches to come inside and then 5 minutes later whines to go outside and 5 minutes later scratches to come inside and then 5 minutes later whines to go outside and 5 minutes later scratches to come inside and then 5 minutes later whines to go outside and 5 minutes later scratches to come inside and then 5 minutes later whines to go outside and 5 minutes later scratches to come inside and then 5 minutes later whines to go outside and 5 minutes later scratches to come inside and then 5 minutes later whines to go outside and 5 minutes later scratches to come inside and then 5 minutes later whines to go outside and 5 minutes later scratches to come inside and then 5 minutes later whines to go outside

See how my day is going... right now he is looking at me and crying

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.

Sounds like he's freeloading and taking advantage of you. If he knew he needed a ride, he should have asked earlier and not wait until it was too late. Time to tell him he needs to find another ride. It's his responsibility, not yours. Constant lateness can put your job in jeopardy.

whistling....I can't stand it

 

[Chattyaholic]

Barking dogs (and stupid owners of barking dogs that won't shut them up!)

A car pulling out right in front of me, even though there is nobody behind me, and driving slow, then turning half a mile up the road.

Telemarketers (thank goodness for the do not call list!!)

Customers at the restaurant where I work that ask "Are they going to bring any more chicken?" (or potatoes, or biscuits, or bread, or fluff, or any other food that is out at the buffet). Yes, they will, give them a minute, will ya?!

People who think the cell phone must be permanently attached to their ear.

Radio static.

People who allow their babies to cry/scream for a long time in a public place (church, restaurant, movie theater, etc.) and don't take them OUT!!

My 15 DD is driving me crazy!

or to drink!

 

[highland3]

Oh my...... I can't even get started on what annoys me!!!

 

[Disney Doll]

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.

She's trying to wear you down. It's a common tactic.

Just say no.

 

[HappyLawyer]

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!

ok, anger management

 

[HappyLawyer]

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!!!!!

I agree, i love all people, i do not care what color you are, hell you could be purple if you like, but if you are servicing english speakers, then you should be able to communicate in a clear and concise manner.

How long do you have????

 

[It's A Happy Day]

I work in a retail store selling jewelry. We also service/maintain/clean customers existing jewelry. With that being said:

#1 annoyance - customer walks into store and says "can you clean my ring" to which I reply happily smiling "sure" then the customer sticks her finger in her mouth or spits on it (I am so NOT kidding that people do this) and pulls the ring off only to expect me to let her drop it in my hand

Other things that are a minor annoyance on a good day:
People that can't drive - go to slow, don't use directionals, think they can multitask with cell phones, turning right but have to pull waaaayyyyy over to the left 1st, etc.

Automated phone systems.

Hearing "mommy" 52 times in a 10 second span

DD having to hit EVERY bathroom EVERY time we go somewhere, even though we just left the house and she even "tried" before we left but now she "has to go baaaddd (add whiny tone)"

No, she was really pissing me off, and i was trying to post on here and could not concentrate cuz she was acting stupid.
