What gets on your nerves?

NON HANDICAP people parking in HANDICAP spots! No HC tag or nothing in windows...... NOW THAT JUST PISSES ME OFF...

That horrible plastic that so many products come encased in anymore--the kind that you can barely cut with scissors, is very hard to pull apart, and has sharp edges when cut. I hate that stuff!

On a related note, I detest all the twisted wire they use on toy packaging to adhere the toy to the cardboard. It shouldn't take 15 minutes to open a simple toy!

Coworkers who call in sick because they have to "babysit" their kid!!!!! You had 9 mths. to prepare....that's when you should have planned ahead and figured out who was going to care for your child while your girlfriend goes to school and you go to work!!

Shock humor (Sasha Cohen, Johnny knoxville, Tom Green etc...). It takes
zero talent and is sophmoric and degrading to the viewer and the perpetrator.

:

Me too....I can't stand Johnny Knoxville and wouldn't even see Dukes of Hazzard because I didn't want to support the moron in any way shape or form...

People who slip my "adult film" stage name inappropriately into a DIS thread and try to pretend it wasn't intentional. There's a reason I keep that part of my life private!

So that was YOU I saw in that one movie where you...

Uh, never mind

Idiots who angle through empty portions of parking lots instead of following the painted lines.

They are lazy and feel entitled to drive anyway they want with no regard to the safety of other drivers. I almost got in a serious accident one time because some woman was charging across the rows and she didn't see me until the last second.

Customer comes in yesterday, wants to order something. Never seen him before. (this is important to me) Asks the price. "It's $65 sir, would you like to order one?"
him: "Wow, that's alot of money! can't you give me a discount?"
me: "No, I can't and I happen to know that you won't find them any cheaper in town. We are $10-$25 cheaper than anywhere else, AND we'll deliver it for you for no extra charge. Would you like to order one?"
him: "Well can I have the one on display for cheaper"
me: "No, that's my display, we'll make you a fresh one."
him: "Well, ok, but are you SURE I can't have a discount?"
me: (annoyed but not showing it) "No, that's our price, and it's a fair price sir."
him: pulling out his Platinum Visa with rewards that I have to pay a higher percentage on "well go ahead"


I'm not in business to ROB people here! I just want to make a living! GEEZ people!!! He's probably a millionaire and is one because he wanted to jip me out of $5 or $10! GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

Listening to a van full of kids singing:

I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves. I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves and this is how it goes.

Could have then offered him a cash discount of something less than your visa %. win-win.

 

[Mrs.Toad]

People who don't LISTEN to what I"m saying, and repeatedly answer a question that hasn't been asked!

People who call or knock on the door saying "I'm not selling anything", then proceed to tell me why I should "invest" in their "opportunity". You are too selling something, you doofus!!

 

[oxfordcircus]

wouldn't even see Dukes of Hazzard

Well, we all have to make sacrifices.

Hello OXFORD

Been to a good car wash lately?

It really is minimal. The only reason I mentioned it is because he's asking for a discount all the while his transaction will COST me money. (most people who use rewards cards are completely unaware that it's the retailer who pays the higher fees so you can earn those rewards ~ I know I had no idea!)

I didn't think to mention giving him a cash discount till after he left the store. I WILL remember that one for later though!!

AprilShowers...I FEEL YOU on this one...when anyone uses a debit/credit card, it costs me 25 cents PER TRANSACTION plus 1.74% of my daily batch totals. So when people come in a charge like ONE key, I end up maken hardly nothing. .

Then when people say...OH, CAN YOU GIVE ME A DISCOUNT FOR 2 WASHES and i say yes, then they pull out that damn card ohhhhhhh it burns me up.
But, thats what being in business is all about. I reckon. LOL

No, but I thought about you yesterday when I got into my truck and saw several cheetos on the floor in the back seat (where the short-legged kids sit). My chest got tight.

 

[apirateslifeforme]

I completely forgot about why I hate wearing cords - this annoying "swish-swish" sound that they make when you walk. That's why this pair was buried at the back of my closet.
