Thread for minor (or major) annoyances

[Gnome Rage]

So, I know we have the smile, the frown, and the laugh thread, but what about those things that happen that are just... annoying?

Pretty much everything about working in retail annoys me.

Buuut I wanna know what annoys youuu
:yes:

[Gelston]

This thread annoys me.

[GS4-Seomanthe]

People who say reticent when they mean reluctant :no:

[Gnome Rage]

How about difficult customers...

"I'm looking for sweatshirts that say "The Berkshires" and someone said you have them"
"Well, we have T-shirts and fleeces, but no sweatshirts"
"Yeah I'm looking for a sweatshirt, they said you had them"
"Well, we have the fleeces but not any sweatshirts"
"But... I'm looking for a sweatshirt"

OK. We don't have sweatshirts, we have fleeces.

Police woke me up at 4:30 AM this morning because someone broke into my truck (and just about every car in my neighborhood). You could see the assholes tracks in the fresh snow, house to house to house... all the way down the street. I felt weird opening my door in sweatpants and a loaded 9MM to a police officer.

He was cool though. I walked outside with him and it was really cold (considering I was asleep in bed like 2 minutes before that) and I said, "Damn it's cold. I can't breathe."

pause... because I wasn't trying to be funny (it just came out and then I realized it) and I looked at him and I could see on his face he was wondering if I was fucking with him...

and then I said "Too soon?" and he busted out laughing. I live in Kansas City btw, so it's on a few hours away from the idiots rioting.

Anyway, nothing was stolen that I could tell, and he said that was the same as a few of my neighbors. Not sure what the asshole was looking for or taking.

He was obviously looking for your stash of weed. People will go to great lengths to get their hands on that stuff.

Stoners don't have time for that. It's why they always masturbate furiously non-stop.

[WRoss]

I didn't masturbate for almost two weeks, so when I did, it was magical. Now, when I masturbate every day, it isn't so great. That's really annoying. It's also annoying that I have to wait another two weeks to get the same results.

They were issued when I was in as well and I only wore them when required. I'm pretty sure over the age of 5 no one should willingly be wearing sweat pants.

I hated those fucking things. People would always whine that it was so cold when we were in formation before PT.. And you know, everyone has to look the same, so we'd all wear them.. And then they'd be the same ones bitching that we had to wear them after we started running. Used to piss me off. I didn't mind the sweat shirt with PT shorts though.

I happen to love sweatpants, they're a treasured part of my evening ritual. Work out, shower, sweatpants time. That said, if I'm required to step outside the house I change into jeans. They are purely house-wear.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

I wear sweatpants (but more often shorts) when I work out, work in the yard, work around the house. Mostly because I don't care if they get paint on them, or dirty, or torn etc.

They look like this - I'm guessing they are out of style now?

The fact that customers can't figure out how to open the door at my job.

It isn't hard... You turn the handle down, and push it open. But everyone is lazy and only turns it like 45 degrees instead of 90 and can't fucking open the door and just look at me through the glass like I locked them out. No, you just didn't read the signs or even fucking try.

I sense a real resentment toward customers every time you post about your job. It's been years since I worked in retail but, it always helped me to remember before each interaction that I was that customer's servant. I don't mean I had to be obsequious, but I did have to be obedient and attentive and not let even a hint of resentment color my tone or expression. It's hard to remain impassive when someone is being rude to you but it helps to remember that, no matter how good you are at your job, you aren't as important to the store owner as that customer.

Its not even close to my job, but when I see someone confused, I run to help them. As far as customer service, the worst thing is making a customer feel embarresed. You can take it as an annoyance but I take it as a chance to make me and my company gain a customer for life.

Yes, really. It is much better to vent about that sort of stuff outside of work rather than let it bother you and end up affecting you at your place of work. Besides, GR is a smart girl with an outgoing, friendly personality.. I doubt she is going to start being mean to her customers because some people on the PC validate the fact that customers can be downright stupid, terrible, ect.

[ViridianAsp]

Not really. Not when you are young and impressionable and might mistake validation on a message board with how you should act or respond when dealing with customers.

Sometimes, when you get that customer that treats you like shit when you've really been accommodating can be annoying. I have to agree though, getting upset because a customer mistakenly thinks you have something you don't isn't an annoyance, people not talking to you when you try to engage them isn't annoying, it just means you have to adjust your approach. It happens.

Now, if you were nothing but nice, accommodating and gave your all and they were terrible to you regardless... I can understand annoyance, but also, you probably had the chance to turn it around. When I worked in customer service, I had customers come in, sometimes and pretty much scream in my face (usually because someone in my department told them something wrong.) by the time I was done with them, they were smiling, and thanking me.

In other words: I agree with Tisket.

There's this little boutique that I really like. It's often got adorable clothing at a fair price. The girls that work there are so friendly. However you can only be asked so many times if you need help or a fitting room set up before you want to tell them to shut the fuck up. I swear it's like they follow you around, and there's usually at least three working so you get triple teamed in succession. Once you're in the fitting room, I swear every 2 minutes these bitches are like HOW'S EVERYTHING GOING DO YOU NEED ANYTHING?? No, I have never told them to fuck off, but I've gotten so close a few times.

I'm not saying GR is like this, it's merely my gripe that's sort of on topic.

My main gripe today is going to get parchment paper for several dishes, and learning that I have about 3 square feet left. I've already been to the store twice today. I am not going back out. -.-

[Tisket]

Over obsequiousness is annoying for sure but have you ever been in a store like that where nobody greets you at all? I'm far less likely to spend money in those places. Another pet peeve is standing in line at the checkout and, when it's your turn, the clerk doesn't even acknowledge you, just starts ringing up your purchases. I mean, I know that person has probably said, "hello, how are you today?" like fifty million times already that day but I still expect it when it's my turn.

Sounds like anti shop lifting behavior; shop lifters hate it when employees greet them and talk to them so some stores instruct their employees to be overly friendly.

Plus your reputation proceeds you and they want to make sure you're not going to loudly masturbate in there.

That reminds me, I had my nails done at a salon once that had tanning beds. I had just sat down at the stylists station and we both got treated to the sound of someone masturbating in one of the tanning stalls. It wasn't the tanning rays that left that lady looking flushed and relaxed when she stepped out. I and the other people in the salon at the time just pretended like nothing unusual had happened.

I wish now that I had applauded her when she came out. Hindsight.

It's hard to remain impassive when someone is being rude to you but it helps to remember that, no matter how good you are at your job, you aren't as important to the store owner as that customer.
Absolutely, because when I post about a customer, I do resent them, for being dumb or time consuming, or rude, or whatever--but I post it here and it doesn't come out in real life. I am the closer at work. I am the main sales person, other than the owner. Both of my co-workers push customers on me because I do my job effectively, efficiently, and enthusiastically. I'm extremely warm and friendly to every customer, even the ones that I resent or become annoyed with. At my previous job, I was second in sales of our most expensive brand, the only item we get commissions on, and one of the more difficult products to push in the $300-600 per piece price range.

I am great at my job, I've had people try to tip me, thank me in print, thank me verbally, speak to my boss, call in specially. I have been able to satiate the most difficult consumer, find them what they did or didn't know they were going to buy, and have them leave happy and confident in their purchase. Just because I bitch about something, doesn't mean it directly effects my behavior toward clients. I did spend most of school learning and practicing how to mask specific facial and verbal ticks that show disapproval or negativity, because when you're working in a counseling situation you can't afford to distance yourself from your client by having your face or your mouth do or say something that makes you an enemy or an attacker. I am extremely good at building relationships quickly, developing rapport and trust with customers and a lot of that comes from respect and honesty with them... but it doesn't have t o be genuine. I could think you're a fucking schmuck and still treat you like you're a prince, and you wouldn't know I think you're a schmuck, but PC will, because that's one of the ways I get it out.

/rageragerage don't insult me as a worker I am so fucking prideful rage rage rage.

I was pretty pleased that I figured out the characters Amazon Japan used for USA, then I found out that google auto-fill works on it, then I found out that Amazon Japan wouldn't even take my credit card for the item in question.

This is the last straw, Obama.

Got an email last night from my university stating that, hey, surprise, I owed $7000 in tuition for last semester, and if I didn't pay it off by the 25th I'd be dropped.

I used the GI Bill last semester. FUCKING VA! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK. YOU.

Every time I buy a fountain drink from a store where you can buy the cup from the cashier the cashier always puts their grubby little fingers inside of the cup.

Every.
Time.

I grab the empty cup and make it very obvious I don't want them to touch the inside of the cup by holding the top part of the cup and handing over the bottom of the cup but like clockwork they turn it around and put their fingers inside of it. What the fuck? I don't care if a million people put their fingers inside of the cup before hand, there is no need to make it a million and one :(

Is this some sort of conspiracy against me? Have all of the cashiers of the world banded together to make sure I can't enjoy a fountain drink without worrying about if the cashier washed their hands in the past 30 minutes, or the past 24 hours, or the past week?

Next step is to say "Hey, look, I don't want your slimy hands inside of my cup. Got it?"

While I'm on the subject of things that annoy me; I have this one person on my Facebook who is always acting like a douche bag, he gets into verbal arguments with just about everyone and is always belittling people and he's one of those people who thinks he knows everything but the truth is he knows jack shit. I keep him on my friend's list because it's fun showing him how often he is wrong.

The past week he has been even more of a douche than usual, pissing off just about everyone and acting like an even bigger know it all than usual. Finally someone got angry enough to call him out on it and the guy responds with some bullshit like "HURR! I'm a rebel, I don't let anyone tell me what to do. I just like to piss people off because it proves I'm right when I piss people off."

And the person who called him out was like "Oh I get it! LOL! You are a rebel! That's so cool! I love you so much."

I'm just like...WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE? You're encouraging this shithead type behavior because he said he's a "rebel"?

SIGH...no wonder we have such a huge bully problem.

Ketchup bottle design. I know the staff is pure sugar, so I try to limit how often I even use the stuff. I also buy a store brand in the squeeze bottle. Beginning maybe a year ago, they switched to some sort of high tech system that requires you to apply considerable pressure, before the seal pops and the ketchup squirts out in a stream. No matter how carefully I try, it's a minimum two tablespoons of ketchup every single time, and I have to scrape half off with a knife.

I just bought one of those diner style squeeze bottles, we'll see how quickly I get bored of filling and cleaning that thing.

So what you say? Hey, I'm not the one who created a thread for minor annoyances.

Before Winter break I spoke to my teacher because there was a chance that the two classes I needed for my second degree (web design) would be cancelled, therefore I'd not only graduate with one degree instead of two, but I'd also only be taking 3 classes which wouldn't qualify me for financial aid. Now, this teacher is notorious for being slow to answer email, if at all, so I tried to get everything nailed down before the fall semester ended. We finalized that if those classes were cancelled she would set me up for an independent study for the credits I needed to make the financial aid requirement. WELP... 6 days before the new semester starts, I get an email letting me know the classes have been cancelled. She has a 1 credit IS up (I need 2 credits) and I email her asking her what to do... nothing comes back. So I try and sign up for anything I can find, which is hard given that class starts in 2 days. I end up taking Beginner's Excel (ROFL). So first day of class I meet up with her and I'm like "dafuq?" in a nice way and she says she'll have them create an independent study for me on Thursday (next day) and I'll be emailed the entire class information once I'm able to register for it. Mind you, friday 5:30pm (less than an hour from now) is the deadline. I get -nothing- from her Thursday, no returning of my call, no reply to my email or text. FINALLY, half an hour ago it comes up. So now, I'm out $36 for dropping a class past the first day of the semester, $30 for renting the book on my kindle for the excel class and another $18 for a subscription to microsoft office 2013 (the required office version for the excel class). I'm really trying not to be pissed because she did me a favor creating the independent study for me... but I kind of want to shake her... just a little.

[JackWhisper]

Is this the kind of shaking that involves a heavy duty magic fingers bed? Or a strap-her-head-in-a-paint-shaker shaking?

Either way... bound to be fun.

BTW: Any teacher that is 'notorious' for anything.... sucks. Unless it's being an attractive or flirtatious educator. We need those. Dire need.

I remember when my son was an infant. He needed all his shots, and I sat down with a couple doctors, and an infant doctor, who all warned of the chances of Autism and all that shit.

I asked four questions.
1: What happens if he gets the shots? ~He's vaccinated with a very small risk to becoming autistic.
2: Where can I find the documentation and research that shows vaccinations cause autism in rare cases? ~*No committed answer. Use internet and medical websites and shit.*
3: What happens if he does NOT get the shots? ~He has a 30-90% chance of dying when exposed to the diseases he is not vaccinated against.
4: If he catches one of the diseases, and is brought to the hospital, how much do his odds improve? ~They don't really, due to an infant's ability to fight diseases being impaired.

Vaccinations are worth the risk. I WAS worried to death he'd be one of those kids. But I could not, under heavy research, find hide nor hair PROVING that autism was caused BY vaccinations.

But death DAMN sure occurs if you do NOT vaccinate your kid.

And circumsizing is cruel and unusual and pointless.

Because there is no research supporting that anymore. All but one of the researchers on the original study have recounted their statements and there have been many studies since which state that vaccines do not cause autism.

There's this birth junkie chick on my facebook who posts nonstop about her "vaccines = autism" crusade, and never makes any sense.

She also thinks the only right way to shit your kid out of your cunt is to do it at home in a pool or bath tub or some weird disturbing shit, wanted to do the placenta pie thing after her last kid, doesn't believe in anything other than cloth diapers, lets her kids make "art" on the kitchen floor with peanut butter, then is constantly bitching about her house being trashed and being tired all day because she stays up all night to get her "me" time.

She has 3 kids and apparently wants to have 5 more and never talks about anything besides "natural birth" stupidity.

Natural, home and water births are awesome, for the women who can do this. I have heard of complications arising when the woman has a birth complication, like gestational diabetes which causes babies to "lay down more fat on the body than average" which can cause problems during home births, because the baby (specifically the shoulders, I guess) are wider. Home births can be lovely for low risk women, but it is important to ensure that the health of the baby takes precedent over "how you think it should be done". A good friend of mine had a water birth, with a midwife, at a birthing clinic, which was also across the street from a hospital--just in case there were complications.

Vaccines do not, in any way, cause autism. This is not even remotely true lol.

I'm circumsized. My son is not. When I was born, it was considered medically helpful. In the last 30 years, that has been disproven more times than Methais has called someone an idiot on these boards. You are wrong. Circumsized penises are not any cleaner or dirtier than a normal guys dick OR any more or less susceptible to STIs/STDs. Although, funny enough, due to the scarring that occurs BECAUSE of circumcision, leads to potential infections because of the scarred tissue around your penis. However, as it goes for the cleanliness, it's in how you teach your child to clean and take care of their joystick.
