Don't you LOVE retail?! Some days I seriously just wanted to bang my head on the counter at some of the things I saw or heard.

I actually haven't seen that movie.

ARRRRRGH!!!!! GROOOOOSSSSS!!!!! Just now the most disgusting man came in here!!! All sunburnt with gross faded tattoos with his shirt open and beer belly all hanging out, hairly chest and all!! Bandana around his head with a flower in it! :confused: How much is this? How much is that? Oh that's it? that's so cheap. And then doesn't buy anything!!!!! Then why do all the gross men then have to ask me my name and want to shake my hand!!! EEWWWWW!!! I know it's just b/c they want to touch me!! He farted in my store too!!!!!!!!!!! LOUD! I'm not kidding!!!:angry:

I'm typing out all these exclaimation points REALLY HARD!!!! I'm mad and grossed out!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: And he HAD to pet Uni before he left!!! At least he didn't have open sores all over his hands like some of these other "customers" I get in here.

WTF!!!! This is Anaheim HILLS, this is SUPPOSED to be an upscale neighborhood! AARRRRRGGHHHH!!!

Capt noonie

where is your shop ?

I don't normally browse, but it sounds the perfect place for me to learn this art.

Ouch! ducking under the missiles

Hmmm??? I'm not sure I understand you. Maybe english to american translation is needed? :confuse2: LOL

Anyway, I am in Anaheim Hills, its about 15 minutes northeast from Disneyland. It does seem like an art form on how to deal with these people.

Oh here's another one! People that don't know how to pet yorkies with long hair! This girl was in here petting Uni for about 5 mins straight and managed to get her hair all knotted up!

capt_noonie, have you thought about selling your business? It sounds like your work really makes you miserable. People spend so much time at work, they owe it to themselves to do something they at least kind of like.

Oh yeah, we thought of it. No one wants to buy. I used to enjoy my business, but now the cons outweigh the pros by too much. Here's an old thread about my situation. There's pretty much no way out, we just gotta hang in there till our lease is up. Till then, all you lucky YTers can hear me complain LOL

Bringing this thread back to life to add:

- People who pick your dog up without asking.

- People who own small dogs themselves and STILL pick up your dog without asking, and then proceed to "affectionately" rub them like a Weimaranar.

- People who give your dog treats without asking first.

- People who slip your 4 lb dog a human-sized slice of cake when you are not looking.

- People who give your dog cake and then lecture you on dog diets. Yes, I know dogs need balanced diets, that's why I do not feed them enormous SLICES OF CAKE.

- People who give your dog cake, lecture you on dog diets, and then brag that their (overweight) malteses are on Paul Newman food because it is so high quality.

- Strangers who greet your dog when you are obviously in the middle of a Stay drill.



I gues I am feeling a little grouchy today!

Lol sounds like you had a rough day!!!!!

I will add one more.....

People that bite your head off when you are only trying to help :( (At least say "thanks for trying to help" dont just be extremely rude :()

I'm glad this thread got resurrected. i was beginning to think I am the only one that gets annoyed by everything. LOL

Here's one:
People that talk to the cashier about bullsh*t when they know there is a line behind them. No one cares you are making a plushie toy for your niece except you and your niece.

Ha ha! That actually drives me crazy too. Don't hold other people hostage to your friendliness!

People on their cell phones. Standing in line, while driving, sitting in a restaurant, etc. They're not that important!!
Tailgaters!!!

People who don't put their account numbers on their checks when they're sending their payment in.

People who staple their payments to their coupon even though it asks you not to.

People who tape their payments to the inside of the envelope. :confused: (Where do they think it's going to go?)

People who don't check their checks to make sure that the amount they wrote in the courtesy box matches what they wrote on the legal line. (You'd be surprised on how many people forget to put "hundred" or "thousand" on the legal line... makes a BIG difference) :rolleyes:

People who write in glitter pen on their checks. (it does not show up well - especially on money orders)

People who send in a dozen checks - with different names - to pay on one account - and none have an account number on it.

People who have charged tens of thousands of dollars and then write nasty comments on their $2.00 check!

Can you guess where I work? :p

This is sooo funny! Glitter pens? Really?

I want to write nasty comments on my rent checks, but I know the landlord will never see them! He makes other people do all the work for him.:thumbdown

People who keep a Dirty House and Car. Fast Food Bags left in a Car. I'm a bit of a clean freak.

Guilty! That's my "air freshner" LOL :rolleyes:

OMG.....There is this guy I work with and when I walk by his car it just make me sick. About 20 bags of Fast Food crumbled up. You can really learn alot about someone just by looking in there car..I have a friend that dates alot and when she goes to a guys home she always checks out his shower to make sure he scrubs it out. Im like her, I dont like dirty tubs or dirty cars.

Ok I'm not quite that bad. that is truly disgusting!

This quote cracked me up!: "I have a friend that dates alot and when she goes to a guys home..." and my computer does spell check and the "alot" is underlined in red. LOL! :sidesplt: I know you didn't mean it like that, but that's how it read out in my head. :p

No, I just spell bad and Im too lazy to spell check.

People that cant get off their cell phone!!!! What the heck do people talk about ALL the time??

ARGH! Some more:


- People who let their dogs roam everywhere and don't care if they are bothering other people.

- People who, when seeing their dog completely ignore Thor's "back off, I don't like you" signals, call across the park, "don't worry, she won't hurt your dog." Maybe not, but she is scaring the piss out of him, and she has 95% of the park to roam around in, do you mind keeping her out of the spot I chose, which happens to be as far away from your dog as possible?

- People who let their boxers drool on your clothes.

- People who let their dogs steal Thor's ball and soak it in dog spit.

- People who eventually get the ball, even though you tell them you don't want it back, insist on coming over, bringing their boxer with them, and repeatedly try to hand you the ball while you are trying to keep your dog from having a stroke.


Okay, I will let you in on a secret... (this was just one person). But come on, can I not let Thor play in one TINY section of the park by himself? I never let Thor repeatedly harrass strangers, and let's face it, he is tiny and adorable and loved by everyone he meets! :rolleyes:

:thumbdown People that are presumptuous, change your things around without asking or being asked, and THEN expect to be thanked for their "organizing" efforts. :eek:

Grrrrrr...... No kidding this just happened today and they said I was UNAPPRECIATIVE! Well, they were right about that, I really did not appreciate it. Some people think they can do things better, or their way is better and they can't take the initiative to start their own project, instead they want to mess with other people's ideas. Then when mentioned, they try to turn the tables, get rude, insult, tell you how you should be doing it, and blame you for not doing it well enough, timely enough, or to their liking in some other way. Who asked for their input in the first place! :p

:thumbdown People who let their dogs come sniff mine at the vet's office. They are not all there for a well dog check up! I don't even let mine walk on the floor there but some think nothing of letting their dog get ultra-personal with mine while I'm holding them.

:thumbdown People who let their dogs crap in my yard -- always seem to be the gigantic ones who leave a mountain load!

:thumbdown People who say you are being rude or biting their head off when they are the only ones raising their voice or speaking rudely.

:thumbdown Waitpersons who have to recite such a long list of specials -- I usually don't remember them all anyway, rarely order a special, I could have had my dinner half-way prepared by the time they get through the list, and what is the menu for anyway?!?!??

:thumbdown People using the handicap carts who do not really need them but drive them rudely and recklessly through Walmart. People who block the aisles in Walmart. Actually just about anything having to do with Walmart!

:thumbdown People who cannot afford appropriate medical care for their pets and have not bothered to get insurance or a WellCard to protect them in an emergency.

Okay, I am done ranting -- thanks for giving me the outlet! :D

That drives me crazy too -- people who think their opinion of what your dog or even your KIDS can have to eat is better than yours. I told a certain relative that my son would get sick if they gave him sausage. They decided they knew better and this was "good sausage." (Like I had only fed him some old rotten sausage that had made him sick before!) Then when I am trying to nurse my poor sick-to-his-stomach son, they start blaming US! His stomach should not be so sensitive, I must not feed him enough variety, maybe he just was too active today......Grrrrrr.......another person thinking their way is best! Only this makes me angrier because then my poor kid and probably your poor dog had to suffer!

I hate bad manners.
Kids that say yeah.
People that don't wipe off gym equipment.
Neighbors that don't keep up their yards.

Omg!
 

Talk about pet peeves! Whewee! Rocky just crawled up into the bed I have for him beside my computer. He let out the smelliest doggie gas ever, looks at me like "what did you do?" and then indignantly hopped out of the bed, shook himself good, and left the room, casting one last accusing look over his shoulder as he went! It wasn't me Rocky, honest! :eek:

Thor actually seems okay, thankfully. I'm shocked, that's got to be the most sugar he's ever had at one time. She actually held out a second cake slice and said, "I assume you don't want him to eat this one too." Uh, no I don't, considering he shouldn't have had the first one.

I know it's not funny, but I kind of cracked up at your "old rotten sausage" comment. That is so true, like you said, "every time I feed my son sausage I find in dumpsters, he gets sick. I guess he just doesn't like sausage!"

:) Glad Thor weathered the big slice of cake all right. That is a lot of sugar for a little dog. Maybe next time you can slam a 5 pound bag of sugar on the counter and say, "you feeding my dog that slice of cake is about like you eating this whole bag of sugar -- do you want a spoon or a ladle?" ;) Isn't it fun to think of all these things that we won't ever say but sometimes feel like we should?

It annoys the heck out of me to see others wearing the blue tooth things in the ear. I'm sorry, but I don't think it looks cool. I think it looks silly.

Does me too. Especially if they're talking on it while walking alone....
But, I do understand them wearing it while driving.

Definitely for driving... I think its more irritating for me because of a person I had a falling out with... the way she acts with it drives me insane... among other things of course. :D
