Pet Peeves/ Vents Go Here

georgia_bride09

I have a coworker. He is an open-mouthed laugher. We're talking full-on open mouth action as he laughs as loud as possible. Try doing it; it's awkward. You'd think he'd notice. Nope, he just keeps on open-mouthed laughing in the next hall and I can hear him from here. Thank God I just heard him say he's leaving. I've heard all of it I can handle for today.

There is an annoying guy that wears his pants REALLY high, has a male FUPA and wears glasses from 1988.  He was clipping his nail in a meeting this morning and I wanted to kick him in said FUPA.

Koopa17

Er, nails.  As in all 10 of them.

I'm mad at this paper I'm writing. It's supposed to be a mini topic report for me to read in class tomorrow, and it's only supposed to be five pages, but I've been sitting here all day trying to work on it and I only have a page and a half. I'm annoyed because I am sick of jumping through mickey mouse hoops to get these stupid classes finished. All I want is to be done with courses so that I can start my major exam study, and then my dissertation research. Stupid school.

The irksome co-worker who can't fathom that she's not invited to the wedding was at my little "shower" last week for 20 minutes. In that time she mentioned not being invited FOUR times. That's once every 5 min. I'm SO happy she's not coming back from vacation until tomorrow when I'm already gone. Ugh.

My work related pet peeve:  Nonsensical and unnecessary meetings.  I swear in my department we have meetings to discuss future meetings and meeting about meetings.  It is an oddity I am still having a hard-time grasping.  At my last firm is was conference calls.  Maybe my present employer just hasn't caught up.

Ugh I hate in-public nail clippers! That noise just gets under my skin.. I hate the CT DOT for ripping up route 8 and causing me 2 flat tires/bent rims on the way to work yesterday.  Hate.

Coworkers who share family drama with entire office. Multiple times. And I mean big time family drama. Arrests - drugs - custody problems - thefts - "branches lost." The phone.rings.all.the.time.

Brides who refer to their wedding dresses as "she" or "her" - can you tell I've been venturing out to other boards?

If Mother Nature had a human form, she'd get an azz kicking of epic proportions.

Right now, my work internet. Everything is loading exceptionally slow. Oh, and work in general. I effing hate it here, but this isn't news.

One of the managers in one of the areas that I support is just stupid. If I had to list all of the ways that she is stupid, it would take me all day, so here are a few: 1. She asked me if it would be alright if she suggested that one of her employees try out for the Biggest Loser. I've talked about that before on here, but it still boggles my mind that she would think that would ever be okay. 2. She had a conversation with an employee (without me present) and asked me to approve the summary she had written up. I was not there, she could have typed that monkeys flew out of their assses, went to the breakroom and made them all sandwiches and I really wouldn't have cared. 3. She called me today to ask me this: "If my approval rating was 63% and I have 9 employees, how many of my employees like me?". I asked her to get a calculator and call me when she figured it out.

Coworker's computer keeps freezing and she just keeps on banging on the mouse like if she get's enough force as she's angrily clicking it will somehow make the computer snap to it and unfreeze. That sound, combined with a constant, high-pitched wail of "noooooot agaaaaaain!" is going to make me staple my ears shut.

FMIL and wedding guests that call because "you forgot to invite my 6 children and my nieces and nephews." Really!?  I'm sure I mistakenly forgot to invite 47 kids to our reception for 140.

I have another one. My "department" is made up of two ladies and myself. Just because I'm the "detail" person, doesn't mean the other two need to slack off in the details, but they do. Everytime we have a report that is a collaboration, I spend half the time formatting the fuucker as I'm compiling everyone's results. Drives me up the wall!! I feel like I work with middle schoolers. They're also slow with their tasks, so I'm waiting on them about 85% of the time. Blergh.

FI got two teacup chihuahuas (his grandmother was a breeder) about seven years ago, long before I was around. THEY ARE NOT HOUSEBROKEN.  They crap and pee where they please.  I looooooove them, but I'm ready to kick them to the curb if they can't either get a job and contribute something or learn to crap in the grass like normal dogs.

I hate, hate, hate people who are rude to service people.  Exactly what do you think you are gaining by screaming at the counter agent, jerkwad guy at the airport?  You look like a douche and yelling at someone makes them want to do the exact opposite of help you.  And you, fuckstick who thinks that talking down to the waitress makes you look like a bigshot.  In actuality it makes you look like nothing more than a pathetic @ss.  I HATE people who do this.  Find some other sad way to feel like you have some power and let these people just do their jobs.

Cew, if it's any concilation - I love Paul Bunyan and also Johnny Appleseed.

Brie2010

I have a work voicemail that I'd like to respond to by the end of the day.  Unfortunately, nobody informed me that since the owner of the previous phone line didn't leave their password, I would have to wait 2 days to get a new one.  Awesome.

Thanks Capri! I love my Paul Bunyan very much, but I prefer to think of him as more on the Ted Kaczynski side in terms of crazy beards.

tlv204

Koopa, I love that you used the term FUPA.  I haven't heard that in a while.

Koopa17

Ugh East I totally agree.  I think watching how someone treats servers, clerks, customer service reps is a great indication of who that person really is.  If you're a diick to the waitress, you're going to end up being a diick to everyone else in your life...and you'll probably end up with some spit in your coke.  I HATE when people do not say please and thank you to servers/clerks/etc, as if they do not deserve it or something.

Koopa17

Ha, tlv, it's pretty gross when referring to a man but it works!

I walked into the office this morning and it smelled like BO. I wouldn't be surprised if my coworker hadn't showered in 3 days.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

I would LOVE for FI to have a Ted Kacyzski-like beard. Maybe it's freudian, because my dad's always had a beard.I agree about the service people rudeness. What did they ever do to you? I was at Macaroni Grill at the airport the other night and the guy next to us was SO rude. When the waitress asked him if he wanted any chicken or shrimp on his pasta he was all, "JUST fettuccine alfredo, okay?!" Then he turned to us and told us people in the Chicago area steal a lot, so we had to be careful. In reference to FI not getting his second glass of wine. Uh...

WEll, I've got this coworker who's been sick for 6 months or so.  I think it's just menopause.  She says yesterday, "I shouldn't even be here, I'm burning up."  Hi.  That's a hot flash you...beavermuffin.  Go see your freakin' doctor, get meds and STFU.Today, she's barely talking to me (and no, I did not say the above to her).  And she's pissed that when we do our office move, she won't have an office.  No one will.  NONE of us.  I don't giveafuck how long you've been at the company.  STFU.

I hate when store clerks comment on what I'm buying. I bought a box of black garbage bags the other day and the guy ringing me up says, "these for garbage or are you raking leaves?" It was just awkward for me, as it was neither one. I just said ".... uhhhh, both I guess." Not really wanting to go into an explanation of how they are to line the cat's litterbox area because I'm sure he didn't really care in the first place. I wish I'd thought to say, "I need to get rid of a body." But I didn't think of it in time.I also hate how I cannot go into any store these days without being asked to round up my change to support breast cancer, muscular dystrophy, blind children, or dogs with three legs. No, no, no. I just want to buy my little bottle of milk for $1.03 and NOT give you $0.97 for the cause of the week. And I don't want to have to feel guilty about it!

I desperately need someone to explain to me why my husband thinks it's necessary to adjust my seat, mirror, and change the radio station when he's moving my car out of the driveway and to the street. Total distance traveled: Maybe 20 feet.

I'm going to vent about my own stupidity here... I think I might have managed to fracture my wrist last night. By accidentally slamming a dumpster lid on it. About 5.5 weeks before my wedding. goddammitalltohell.

At the moment my pet peeves are summed up with "Use your words AND your brain people!""My computer doesn't work.""Ok...what doesn't work? The monitor of the cpu""It just doesn't work""In what fashion does it not work? Is it not turning on? Not booting up?""It won't let me on.""So it won't start?""No it won't let me log in""What error message is it giving you?""No error message, it just won't work"*walk up to the room*"Ok, type in your login information and hit ok""Oh...oh...I forgot to hit ok last time."
