Parents who can't control their kids, parents who don't keep their kids in line. Today at work a family came in that had came in before to eat, and they have like 3 kids. THe kids are loud, annoying, and love to make a mess with their food. What really ticks me is that the parents just sit there and let the kids bang their forks on the tables, take their food and just throw it on the floor. They MIGHT say "Don't do that" but seriously now? ugh
I can't tell you how much I agree with this. If you can't get your kids under control take them outside, take them home, take them ANYWHERE else but where they are. If I acted up as a kid my mom stopped what she was doing that second and we left. She didn't piss people off with my screaming or crying. Nowadays I see:
"Come on now Billy what do you say we don't do that?"
"Fuck you bitch. Stop talking."
"Well that's not very nice, but ok then."
"I SAID stop talking."
My other pet peeves:
Overexplanation - say it and get out of my face
Shitty attitudes from customer service people - "I don't see x-item, can you help me find it?"
eye roll
lip smack
hand on hip
loud sigh
By this point I want to hit you and you can go fuck yourself. Sorry to interrupt your work day and ask you to do some work....lazy bitch.
Food service people who can't be bothered to make sure my food is right - Why is something missing 90% of the time I make an order? Seriously. Is it that hard to make sure I have 2 tacos or a buger and fries? It's not an intricate order. Then when I try to get their attention to ask for my missing food they act like they don't see me. I honk my horn and they look over with that "what the fuck do you want" look.
Dog lovers that don't understand "no" - (I think) My dogs are adorable. They are both small and generally people want to play with them. Problem is, my Chihuahua is a vicious dog. He WILL bite you. And telling him, "oh but you're so cute" doesn't change this fact. Most people don't even ask, they just come up and try to pet him. He barks his head off and they keep coming. I have to literally yell at them not to touch him. People want to fight with me and tell me they're so good with dogs so surely my dog will like them. What's worse is when their kids come up and I yell at their kids because I want to get their attention quickly so they don't get hurt and their parent's (who aren't paying attention to their kids themselves) get shitty because I just yelled at their precious angel.
When people call to make a complaint and flaunt their (self-proclaimed) status as if it changes how we'll handle their complaint. One woman called and left a message saying she was Miss Hawaiian Tropic, a Deaconess, a minority business owner, president of her child's school, blah blah blah. Um, ok? And? What's your issue? Cause beauty queen or not you're gonna get the same treatment as Joe Shmoe the plumber.
People who don't answer my phone calls - this is mostly Brydan actually. You have a cell phone, you WORK for the damn cell company, answer your damn phone. ;p <3
People who repeat thing 8 times to make sure I understand -
The red one, you got that?
I got it, red.
Ok, don't forget it's the red one.
Yea, red I know.
When you see it, it's the red one.
Yep, red.
There's gonna be a re-
Oh my god, fucking red, got it. Jeez...
People who exaggerate all the time. I understand exaggeration to get a point across here and there. But I can not stand people who are borderline lying just to make a point or get attention.
I could go on forever, just about everything is a pet peeve of mine. I'm easily irritated.
Oh and sorry Kel. I know you hate my sig but I <3 it! ;D
