What ticks you off? (best, penny, children, teenagers)

[tet tea]

Spongers really tick me off, especially when they are family! I don't mind helping, lending a hand etc, but when they don't and won't help themselves ... see ya!

In Internet Explorer it's under the Tools pull down menu (depends on the version, the newer ones have it).

In Firefox (my favorite) it's in Tools>Options>Content Tab. You can also download and install an add-in called Adblock that really stops them.

If only it were that easy,my computer is an enigma that even the best techies can't figure out!...

I hate when people complain about petty bull$hit that doesn't really even matter.

Doesn't really tick me off as much as it's just annoying...

When you give your name to someone and instead of asking how it's spelled,they arrogantly keep taking bad shots at the spelling thus further worsening the situation. Sometimes they will apologize for that forwardness.

Lol, theyve already given me a new name at work. Just one girl started this whole thing, calling me 'suzi-q-tip' in fun....so now thats what Im known as there.

Unproductive coworkers.

Let's say you have 40 pallets to work. One person does 13, another 10, another 8, another 6, and the last one 3.

The average for everyone is 8. And the work gets done. But how many people are upset with the person who only managed three? Even the next slowest person did twice the work.

I've even thought of just naming myself 'Smith' with all these places...how wrong could they get that?

Which brings us to another of my pet peeves. Where do the sales people spend their time in stores? It certainly isn't out on the floor. I have actually walked the entire store (Lowes, Home Depot, Menards, Office Depot, etc) looking for someone to help me. When I finally give up and head for the door I find the entire crew standing up front yakking about baseball or the hottie in the restaurant next door. That's when I hunt down the manager. (they're usually right there yakking with the rest of them) I ream them out for the lousy service and let them know I'll be talking to the home office about my experience in their store.

And, yes, I do call or email the home office. Someone needs to be fired when this happens.

The spray paint too? I mean, it's the color of the cap, as well as having a different finish. It's also PRINTED on the back of the can, usually, in case you lose the cap once you get it home.

But people spray the shelves...usually right over the price, or ordering number, so that those can't be read.

Been there and more...

How about when you try your hardest and still come up short and they still dump on you?! I may as well just not gave a crap...which now I just don't.

Then I've had the ones that kick back and let me do all the work plus take the heat when things come up short.

Yes life is grand.
