Things that bother you or don't make sense.

What bugs me is the freakin' hammerhead in my store right now who's been clerking me and the rest of the staff on $300.00 guitars for months. He's a perpetual shopper, and has cost this company more in time and man hours wasted than we could ever hope to make when (or if) we sell him a $300.00 guitar. Asking me the nuances of this $300.00 guitar compared to that $300.00 guitar?

Dude, there are no nuances. They're all $300.00 P.O.S. guitars.

You've been coming in hear for the past freaking four months acting like you're Eric F*****g Clapton. The difference between you and him though, aside from the fact that you're a pathetic, talentless hack, is that Clapton actually buys guitars. You, on the other hand, just sit around and play guitars that you're never going to buy. And why are you never going to buy one? Because your Third Reich of a wife carries your balls in a jar, and won't let you spend money on your own unless you're shopping at Sephora for her.

God damn, I hate this guy...

WoW, thats sucks!!! What a jerk

:angry1: Wow.

Back to the question -- what annoys me is people who "call out" people who park in the handicapped spot on the assumption that they are not entitled to park there because they have no visible disability. My mother in law has post-Polio syndrome and has a severely atrophied leg and a limp, but she hides it well out of vanity. I've seen people scowl at her and one guy even made a rude remark to her. I let him have it and he felt like chit afterwards.

Rant over.

I get this all the time. I have a pretty flash car and get eye balled or the time. Then they see me throw my car door open with my neck and do some crazy gymnastic sh*t to get out the car. Then i look at them and the tail is between there legs pretty quick and they quick march off down the road.

There's always that 10% in every field >.<

People telling me how to do my job... when I've been doing it longer and better for years. SMD.

 

[jowensphoto]

The guys that put loud mufflers on their 80's Civics and think they're Mario Andretti.

*whew* Thankfully I'm a girl who put a loud muffler on my 03 VW... and didn't even want to think I was Danika Patrick.

 

[Patrice]

Rant thread, yea! Ok, my turn.

The lady at the '9 items or less' till with a cart full.

The same lady who carefully watches all the the items get tallied and then only remember to get her money purse out her giant handbag when the cashier finally has to ask for payment. Didn't she realize she might have to pay for those groceries?

The pimpled teenager at WalMart who asks if he can help me.

Employers who post a job but don't ever bother to tell unsuccessful applicants when the position gets filled.

Posters asking for C&C and then 'defend' every deficiency in the image. They should post in the 'for fun' board if they just want to show us what they think is the epitome of their talent.

Wanna instead of want to.

'Photog', or even worse, 'Tog'.

Bad grammar and incorrect spelling is somewhat acceptable, not everyone manages to stay awake in grade 10, however I find it annoying when a poster does not manage to find the 'shift' key.

Endless loops in automated answer systems.

A clerk taking a telephone inquiry when I'm standing in front of him discussing a purchase. How is that person on the phone more deserving of his attention than I am?

E-Bay sellers wanting $20 to ship a $5 item that weights an once or two.

Ball hats with huge flat beaver tail shaped brims worn sideways.

Two hour business meetings where nothing actually gets done or decided.

Clients who continually want 'just a bit more' at no extra cost.

Ranters.

Oh boy could I rant about all the things that patients do to annoy me since I work as a nurse, but since my real name is used I better shut my mouth. I have some good stories though.

Shoppers who have fewer than 10 items taking up valuable space at a regular checkstand when the express lane is empty.

Clerks who offer to help, but have no clue about what is available nor where to find anything.

Why do we drive on a parkway, but park on a driveway? (tip o' the hat to George Carlin)

Pushy people, especially the idiot I dealt with today at three minutes before closing that insisted on haggling over the price of propane. My first instinct was to just say no but then I looked at his buying history. One fill per year. He could easily wait until July or August and save a bunch of money. So I went ahead and gave him a dime off and will fill him tomorrow. It doesn't pay to be pushy, at least with me.

Oh man that post reminded me. Please, PLEASE listen to me. If you ever shop at a retail store, do NOT LINGER AFTER CLOSING! Working retail sucks. Most people (like myself) are only working it to get themselves through college/high school and trust me, it's not what we want to be doing.

With that said, I can enjoy my job pretty much most of the time. I work alone and I basically get paid to talk about sports all day. But the closer it gets to closing time, the more anxious I get. My store closes at 9 o'clock. I had a 10 year old kid come in at 8:58 and he stayed for 25 minutes while his mom waited outside. I mean, REALLY MOM?! I wanted to yell at the kid so bad. We both knew he wasn't going to buy anything. I have never been more frustrated before.

In an action movie when the hero with no apparent experience gets in a helicopter and magically knows how to fly it. On TV, the braking screech when a car moving too slowly to ever make a braking screech rolls into a parking spot. The car never starting in any horror movie. The loaf of bread sticking out of every grocery bag in every show or movie. Yes, I know why they use these conventions, but they're annoying.

And, people with average photography at best selling themselves as wedding and portrait photographers. Please, respect the freaking craft.

It's rarely feasible to notify everyone who is not hired. In some cases, an employer can get, literally, hundreds of applications for a single position. If you don't get a call, take a hint...

I had that happen once when I was closing a store I worked at in San Diego. We'd been there all day, we were tired and wanted to go home, and this 12 year old kid was left at our store a good hour before we closed. His parents told him they would pick him up at 7:45pm (we closed at 7:00pm).

There was no way we were about to leave the kid waiting outside the store alone, but there was also no way we were going to cheerfully wait for Mom & Dad to come collect him. So, we flagged down the cop who regularly patrolled our area in the evening, and told him the kid had been abandoned by his parents. We did opt to wait for the parents to come back after talking to the cop, and they were given a well deserved and righteous dressing down by one of San Diego's finest.

Only after the cop ripped them a new one did he turn the kid back over to the parents.

We all got home late, but it was worth it to watch these prima-donna-never-oughta-breeds get knocked down a few notches.

We never saw that kid again...
