[QUOTE]I don't understand people who call in to our office. I cover for our receptionist when she has lunch/needs to get up to do something. Every day someone calls in asking for X. Well, if X is in a meeting or on the other line, I tell them and then ask if they would like their voicemail. Never fails "Well, how long until he's out of the meeting?" or "How long will he be on the phone?" How TF am I supposed to know how long someone is going to be on the phone for? So then they'll say yes, they want their voicemail, but proceed to try and leave a message with me. That's what the voicemail is for, buddy. Irrational perhaps, but frustrating.

Ugh, THIS totally irks me. I have this conversation regularly with customers who call in

me: "I'm sorry, [insert boss's name here] isn't answering his page/is on the other line/is machining a part. Would you like to leave a message or can I help you with anything?"

them: "Um... well, are you sure he's busy?"

No genius, I'm not sure if he's busy...  he's only at work.   ::face palm::

Well, seen and not heard. I've been stalking TN message boards lately because I can't see half the post on TK, and I came upon this gem. I've been "watching it" because I was so flabbergasted.

[QUOTE]Just overheard in my office, a guy was telling someone how he has started eating salads with chicken in them for lunches. The person replied that he shouldnt eat chicken because chicken is nothing but fat and not good for you. It honest to god PAINS me to hear people say dumb crap like this, but I am keeping my mouth shut. Its the same guy who is gung ho to juice everything and when I argued why its not "the best" idea because youre drinking the calories but not getting the other benefits (feeling full from the fiber, etc) he argued that he was.   What kinda stupid stuff have you heard/seen lately?

[QUOTE]I hate when I tell someone that their prescription has no refills and they act so freakin' surprised like I just uncovered this great secret even though it says NO REFILLS in capital letters on their bottle. Then I say we'll be happy to fax the doctor a request, and that we'll fill the prescription as soon as we hear back from the doctor. Then they inevitably ask some variation of "When will that be?" or "How long will that take?" I just said it's in the doctor's hands now. I have no clue when your doctor plans on getting back to me. Why would I be privy to that information? I also hate when I tell someone that their insurance or credit card isn't working and they just look at me and say, "Why?" ::shudder::

Not so much somthing someone said but belived. My sister does not like stupid people, she thinks that they should seriously wear signs lol. So she was talking to a girl that she went to school with, who really isn't that bright, or that nice, and was listening to this girl go on about somthing that she was very wrong about, when a lady bug landed on her and she switched to how cute they were and how they were the only bug she didn't kill b/c they were so sweet... My sister told her they were one of the most poisonous bugs in the world... And she belived it, according to my sister she started freaking out and flinging her arms around. I laughed so hard when she told me.

We always call when they're ready. :) I just get really sick of being asked to give a time frame for someone else.

I work in a clothing shop and my most annoying senario is

Customer, hi im looking fo a top ive seen recently.

Me, okay than, what does it look like?

Customer, well, its kind of green.....(trails off)

Me, Can you remember anything else about it?

Customer, Like what?

Me, right then, is it, scoop neck, round neck, slash neck, cowl neck, polo neck, v-neck, high neck? ( all said with utmost politeness)

Customer, um, kinda scoop maybe?

Me, okay, does it have long sleeves, 3/4 sleeves, short sleeves, cap sleeves, no sleeves? (sarcasm starting to creep in here)

Customer, short sleeves

Me, well now we're getting somewhere, it is patterned or plain, floaty fabric or jersey, 

and it goes on, but sadly im not able to find them the correct
