That's me all over, TOIB! Everything gets to me more than it seems to with other people. I too have often felt like a defenceless nerve being constantly twanged by the world around me. The worst thing about it is being told not to be "so sensitive". Oh fine; I'll just magically stop being myself then. :-P

By the way, I love what you did to that guy's mobile! I wish I had the balls to do stuff like that when people piss me off :-D

Being asked the same question 7 times from 7 different people.

After only five months of working at a restaurant, I've come to the conclusion that Customers aren't ordinary human beings. They are obviously an insidious alien species in cunning disguise, here to take over our planet by slowly annoying us to death. Eventually, after we've been subjected to enough mindless, repetitive questions and impossible demands, we will lose the will to live.

Or go crazy and poison their pizza.

*twitches*

One of my major pet peeves at work is when people don't know what the fuck they are ordering, are sitting in the DRIVE-THRU with a huge fuckng menu board right in front of their faces, and they still have the balls to ask how much a coffee is...

Or the people who all end up on your shift... that don't work, that stand around and TALK while there is shit to be done... or they think they know everything...

Hell, I have alot more but I am going to save those for a nice long rant...

Unfortunately I have to agree with you there, a lot of customer service is awful these days. It seems like a war almost, between customer and employee, each assuming the other isn't worth their time.

Since many people fall in to both catergories you'd assume they'd have sympathy for the other when the rolls are reversed, but apparently not. I know if I go into a shop I am very concious of not doing the things that piss me off when customers do it to me.

I agree with you too RD, and it seems that even when you are nice to someone serving you, you will get shitty service...

I typically hate people but I still try to be nice... I know that when I am nice to a server usually at a restaurant, I get great service and they get a good 10 buck tip. That's the way the world spins.

I understand the cellphone thing completely. I hate when I'm checking someone out and I have a huge line. But the person I'm currently trying to move on out is too damned concerned with talking to some dweeb on the phone to let me finish checking them out! I'm tired of having my lines held up by these creeps!

TallOne, you're my hero!

<3 <3 <3

I also hate not being acknowledged when I greet someone. They're sure ready to look for you when they're ready to get the fuck out of the store, though. Bah.


I get a lot of customers that think I'm new for some reason. I don't know why it bugs the shit out of me, it just does. I've been working at the same place for over 3 years. I get approached by people all the time that say things like:

Cust.:You must be new!

Me:No, I've worked here for 3 years.

Cust:But I've never seen you before and I'm in here all the time.

Me: I'm here all the time and I've never seen you.


Idiots!


I also hate having drunk guys hit on me while I'm working. They're normally not my type, even if I was single.

I hate being grabbed by customers too. Normally drunk.


I do, however have some pretty good relationships with most of my Photo regulars. One of them even bought me laundry soap, recently. I love when people give me things for no reason.

I can always 'lose' people's film if they are too annoying, though.

I try to only go out when I can tip well.

I know that people live off of those tips. I hate assholes who only leave 2 or 3 dollar tips when they go somewhere nice. I leave more than that when I go to Denny's! If I get something cheap, I like to leave almost the price of the meal.

Well, I work in the fast food industry so I am ecstatic as a kid on Christmas morning who got everything when I get a two buck tip. No one really realizes how far tips can go. I've been saving mine, rolling the change and using it otherwise for the things I want for my apartment.

I used to waitress at a pizza place, so I deffinitly know about the rude restaurant customers.

*shudder*

Just thinking of some of the crap those people put me through makes me want to go burn the whole place down. Employees and customers alike. I really can't tell who was worst most of the time.

Although.. I work at a hotel now.. and it's not any better. I guess when you're on the service end of any job, you're going to have to put up with ALOT of shit, no matter where you work. It sucks, but it pays the bills.
I can totally relate to ya there, Wolf. I get that lame ass ''are you new?'' question alllll the time. Funny thing is, I've been there for over two years now.

Asshats.

[Metatron]

Now that I think of it, I have a severe lack of tolerance for stupid people and stuck-up, snotty nosed assholes. Those people that are just so incredibly upity and all-about-me that they say something horrendous to you, and all you can do is stare at them wondering if there really is a god. They suck.

You means the one you want to throttle dearest Metatron?

I have a complete disgust at those who claim to be your friends. The ones who treat you like complete shit and freaking physically abuse you and then get pissed off at YOU because you aren't talking to them...

Sorry guys... I'm ranting...

[corporalaccident]

My main pet peeve is for people who believe they have some sort of artistic ability, when in reality, they suffer a complete and utter dearth of ANYTHING of the like. The worst, in my opinion, are fake poets. Honestly, people. Learn to embrace the english language and all of its grammatical glory before you pick up a pen and decide you can write, and not ONLY write, but be unfathomably deep, as well. Stoppit. Just, stoppit. Once you have a complete grasp of everything that is English, you may THEN begin to step outside the lines and claim you have a "poetic license" to do so. Until then, knock it off, you sillies.

My pet peeve are skeevy newbs that think they are the shit-end opinion on everthing.

I also hate self-deluted critics.

Oh, hey! How's it going Corporal?

I hate that too. Worse is when you're asked the same question 7 times by the same person.

I also hate it when people draw or write something and go on and on about how crap it is just so people will compliment them. It makes me feel like slapping them.

I know what you mean! That is so fucking annoying. I usually just agree with them, tell them how crap it is and how everything is just wrong. They usually back pedal and knock off the fishing.

That reminds me of myself
But it's just that I sincerely cannot consider what I write as anything close to art, which reminds me of one of my majos pet peeves:
People that consider themselves artists.
I believe being a real artist is the second hardest thing to attain after falling in love, and I cannot see anyone that calls himself an artist as anything but a poseur

So it's kinda like how if you say you're cool, you're not cool, cause cool people don't need to tell people how cool they are.

I get that.

Uhh... Just because I'm new doesn't mean I have no experience. I've been writing my entier life, I'm not a beginner. I'm just new HERE. Why am I so horrible for sharing my opinion? I apologize for having a pet-peeve, please forgive me. And, "deluted" isn't a word. What did you mean to say?

Heh heh heh. Sorry. I just find it funny that you're correcting HER spelling when you've spelt "entire" wrong.

I guess the same thing you were trying to say with "entier".

What? You're one of my pet peeves. People just like you. I'm sorry if it offends you that people hate how you're a know it all prig, or at least carry yourself off that way. That's just my opinion as well.

Did you want me to be more obvious about what I was saying? Okay.

You're an annoying asshole. You think you're better then people just because you've studied something your "entier life". You obviously have no qualms about giving your snotty little opinion of their work, which makes you a shit-singing jack hole.

Was that clear, or did you need me to spell it out some more?

[corporalaccident]

Wow... Okay first, yeah, it was lame of me to correct you while I myself spelled something wrong. Second...my pet-peeve wasn't supposed to make me sound like such a terrible person, it was meant to be more comical than that, and I figured some people could relate... I end up feeling like such a piece of crap every time I say something on this site, so I think I just might as well stop for now. You're all allowed to be uptight assholes, but I'm not allowed to complain. So, forget it. I quit.

I don't think I'm really that bad, and Metatron could probably defend me on that one---if you ever see this, E---, it's Castle. What's up chico. People hate me here. Uhm, if anyone cares to have a glimpse at the real me, my myspace is www.myspace.com/hour25. I'm out...

[JuliaGaltic]

*content sigh* I have yet to see anyone go head to head with Geisha and come out on top.

Woman, you have a beautiful mind...

...Um,Corporal, have you looked in a mirror recently? You're white.

[corporalaccident]

[corporalaccident]
