AndyParticipantSitting anywhere with ample seating, especially a restaurant, and having people come in and sit at the table right next to you.

anonymeParticipantOoh, good one, Andy. The same thing (only worse, IMO) happens in restrooms. Twelve stalls and they have to sit in the one right next to you.

lindaParticipantThe terms “baby daddy” and “baby mommy” or any variation thereof, sounds infantile when used by an adult (sets my teeth on edge). There are plenty of perfectly good words already in the English language which should be used instead: father, mother, mom, dad, parents.

miwsParticipantReboot.
Reboot is what you do to a computer, and I am fine with that.
Reboot in reference to a new version of a movie or Tee Vee show, or whatever?

datamuseParticipantPeople who honk or shout things out their car windows when they pass me. Dude, I’m jogging, not looking for a date. Knock it off.
January 27, 2013 at 3:22 am #782326
JKBParticipantPeople who go by without saying a word. Really, I’m trying to jog here! Could use a little support.

JKBParticipantoh, that’s what datamuse is missing! All makes sense now.

datamuseParticipantTrust me, JKB, I definitely don’t need one of those, even if my husband does insist that I’m the man of the house. ;)
As to your other comment, if you find remarks such as “Come suck it, b*tch” encouraging, you’re welcome to them.

FCaMemberI get irrationally aggravated when people working at the grocery store, Nordstrom or any other retail establishment tell me how to use the PIN Pad when paying with debit or credit. I’m 30- not 100. I know how to use your machine. For one, they all have the same basic instructions. Second, the readout tells you what to do, in case I’ve forgotten.
I get even more aggravated when they’re not looking at me while they’re telling me how to use it. It’s not only poor customer service to refuse to look at your customer but I’m literally standing there, entering my PIN, and you’re saying to me “enter your PIN” and I freaking AM entering my PIN. “Press the green button.” It happens nearly everywhere I go and makes me want to play dumb and waste their time asking them how in the world to use this bizarre contraption that I have never seen before.
Woo, I feel better :)

miwsParticipantFCa, in regards to the store cashier not making eye contact with you while entering your PIN, they may simply be averting their eyes, so as not to appear to be making a visual note of it.
I always did that as a cashier, but otherwise tried to make eye contact as much as possible.

FCaMemberMike- oh totally. I did the same thing in my many years of food service and retail. The annoyance really arises when they haven’t looked at me throughout the transaction. I always provided excelled customer service but really only expect “good enough” and I don’t feel like averting ones eyes throughout the transaction is “good enough.” I am selective about my annoyances :)
January 27, 2013 at 11:47 pm #782333
miwsParticipantI always provided excelled customer service…..
Ah! We work alike….
….but really only expect “good enough”…..
…and think alike! :-)

Naneki AkamaiParticipantPedestrians who bolt out of shops into the traffic without seeing if there are cars there and then scream at you. Also pedestrians walking late at night in dark clothes. I can’t see you.

jissyParticipantWestwood Village post office… a busy place indeed. I have a P.O. Box there and it takes me all of 30 seconds to get in and get out and when I say OUT I mean it!!! That means even out of the parking lot. Drives me batsh*t crazy when people sit in there cars and sort through their mail just taking their own sweet time when there are cars lining up to park & then disrupting the mailbox drop-off lane!! Sort it inside or at home! Whew, now I feel better.

dee kalaniParticipantHere’s mine; Those little honda’s or rice burners that have the after market mufflers, or kits whatever they are, they make a very annoying nosie nothing cool about it. What’s worse is the parents who allow these kids to have these cars. C’mon man, should be illegal!!!!!!

AnonymousInactivethe constant back up noise of vehicles, a few warning beeps is all that is needed
February 8, 2013 at 12:28 am #782338
WSratsinacageMemberSo agree with dee. The state should automatically flunk vehicle inspections for loud exhaust.. Maybe they are already supposed to?

AnonymousInactiverachel at national credit card services for constantly calling me warning me this is your last warning to lower your credit card rate; if it is the last warning why does she keep calling

miwsParticipantGR, and that’s only Rachel’s part time job.
Her full time job is running one of those rug companies that’s been going out of business for the last 15 years.

JKBParticipantSafeway product pricing.
First there’s the units switcheroo – can you comparison-shop when one product is labeled in ounces and the other in pounds? How about produce, when one is per pound and the other is ‘each’?
And the expiring sale. They leave a sign up saying something’s on sale, with an expiration date on the sale. So if you buy it thinking it’s on sale, the register rings up the not-sale price. Gotta watch real carefully to catch that one, and then go to the trouble of complaining.
February 8, 2013 at 5:05 am #782343
AnonymousInactiveand review the receipts very carefully, i do the just for you and i have caught errors numerous times. they are good about giving you the refund when you point it out to them though
