Pet Peeve/People vent...add yours...I hate it when---

1. Don't ask my advise then not take it or dismiss it...ie, what time should I call - how about 3? I was thinking 8? Okay, then why did you ask me????

2. Where do people get the special parking passes to park on the curb/infront of stores?

I was venting about this to a coworker yesterday... I send out a questionnaire for something, and ask "Do you want A or do you want B", and they answer "Yes"

My boss does this all the time.

Or you ask him 2 questions -
Do you want A?
Can I do do B?
He replys, Yes...Um, TO WHICH ONE?

RE#2: Left lane = right pedal --> get it straight or move to the right - its the pedal you aren't using
RE#6: That's why my mom and I call it the "stupidmarket"

======================
I'd like to add to my list: Cashiers who do not know how to make change. If something is $1.77 and you give them $2.02 and they look at you like you have 2 heads. I tell them to put it in the little machine and it will tell you what to give me back.

On the same line - when cashiers don't have change. Um, when you open your last roll of quarters, CALL THE MANAGER FOR MORE!!!

Don't understand business communication etiquette. i.e. in emails - hey, what's up, thanks girlie, dude, abbreviations like "BTW", etc.

People who don't use spell check in business emails.

People who don't take responsibility for their actions.

People who try to use a "big" word but then use it in the wrong context.

LOL. DH's business partner does this all the time with words and phrases. His favorite is "in essence". He has never been remotely close to using it correctly.

I don't know if I'm PMS'ing or just stressed but more things are bothering me:

How come smokers never get cars w/ ashtrays? most of them throw the butts out the window.

When people don't say "thank you" ,or "please", etc..

I hate seeing people judge others b/c of the job they have or car they drive

gossiping

fake people ,if you don't like me..don't talk to me

if someone tries to cut you off ,but they don't succeed ,and they give you the finger and curse you out like you did something wrong Chat Icon

I totally agree with these!!!

I also have to add:

- people who never offer to drive

- people who only talk about themselves

- people who talk with their mouth full

- people who chew gum loudly

- people who make up sh*t

- people who wear thongs and allow their pants to get stuck up their azz and walk around like that all damn day

- people who have the need to tape up a box for 30 minutes to ensure that eevery inch is covered in tape...and they decide to do this next to my desk...at 8AM....with the tape making an unbearable noise Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I could go on and on....

Re: Pet Peeve/People vent...add yours...I hate it when---

This is going to be long Chat Icon

- People who tailgate...I don't care how fast I'm NOT going...unless you're a case of hemroids get the fluck off my ***.

- Cashiers who are on their cell phones. Ummm you're NOT getting paid to check your vm or text. You're getting paid to ring me up. So start earning your pay.

- People (and I believe this pertains to the younger generation more so) that use net lingo in everything that they type - i.e. "mai gurlz", "da bomb", "whatevza" - SERIOUSLY, you're all doomed.

- Not sure why this bothers me - but it does. When 2 employees in a store are talking with one another yet are choosing to not filter their converstation. I think its disrespectful to hear curse words being spewed between 2 cashiers while ringing up customers. Act a bit more mature & responsible.

- People who talk on their cell phones in a public place - like on the express bus. I'm talking full on converstations like they are in the privacy of their own home. Shut the F up...no one cares what you're having for dinner & where you have to go this weekend.

- People who roll through 4 way stop signs. Hey idiot - its called a STOP sign for a reason...and if its a 4 way that means YOU are one of the 4 vehicles that must stop. Not that the other have to stop for you. It also DOESN'T count if the person in front of you stopped & you proceed with them through the intersection
Chat Icon - that to me is stupid at its finest.

- People who let their children run amuck in stores. Don't start blaming me if you're kid bumps into me while running around through the clothes rack & falls. Once they start having races & other customers are tripping to avoid smacking into the them, the parent needs to intervene. Its dangerous.

- People who can't say "thank you" when you hold a door for them. RUDE RUDE RUDE

- People who text in a resturant...SERIOUSLY, stay home if you can't avoid texting. DH & I went out to eat & literally watched this one table text THE ENTIRE time we were there. Everyone at the table was texting with one hand & eating with the other. I get one text - here and there - altough I would keep my phone in my lap while doing it.

There are soo many more - I'm seriously PMSing

i totally agree with this!

i also had to listen to a conversation the other day between an employee at Ulta and a customer (who had never met each other before) describe, in detail their failed marriages and why their EXDHs sucked so bad and why their own lives were so miserable.

i mean come on, be professional! i almost said something to a manager but i thought that would be pushing the b!tchy line Chat Icon
