Listing my pet peeves is like opening a can of worms.. it reminds me of all the things I hate. *lol* Most of my rants are job related, I work at an answering service.
I can't stand it when people say "Listen" on the phone. That drives me crazy, it's obvious I'm listening to you, I'm on the freakin' phone with you.
I abhor when people go on a 10 minute rant without taking a breath and then stop mid sentence to ask if I'm still listening. Like I'm supposed to interrupt them on their rant to make sure they know I'm still on the line.
I hate when people exaggerate. You would not believe how many people told me they were going to die from not having water in their shower and how it would be my fault. Are you kidding me?!?!?!
I hate inconsiderate neighbors... especially loud noisy ones. During the day I can endure it, but I don't want to hear your stereo bumping at 4am.
I really dislike people who pick up my dog without asking my permission first. I was at a gas station yesterday with my dogs and this lady comes out of nowhere and just picks Tuffy up! WTH!
I strongly dislike children with no manners and hate their parents for not teaching them any.
I hate, hate, hate people who are rude to the answering service operators. It's not our fault that your doctor/apartment complex/etc doesn't think your problem is an emergency. We don't make the rules, we just have to follow them.. if you have a gripe, take it to someone who matters, not me. Please don't yell at the operators who answer your calls, we are people and we do get hurt by your ugly comments. Someone actually threatened to kill me because his toilet wasn't working.. yeah, that's the kind of rude I'm talking about.
I could go on and on and on... and on... but I think I got my main ones out. This is a fun thread, helped me get out my gripes.
