I think last year, we had some sort of a topic where you could list your pet peeves, things that annoy you greatly, etc. etc. though not certainly with the title I gave this thread. I've been wanting to vent off about work-related stuff, so I'll begin: THINGS THAT I FIND QUITE RUDE ABOUT SOME CUSTOMERS -People who either are still listening to their goddamn earbudded iPods (usually in one ear) or talking on the cellphone about things not order-related while I am trying to take their order, and making me look like an idiot when I have to repeat myself several times -After I've taken the previous customers' payments and am JUST starting to take care of their orders, some people decide that this is a non-verbal way of saying "I can help who's next in line" and come up to my till expecting me to make the prior customer wait longer and take their order. THIS annoys me a great deal. -Homeless bums who literally smell like feces, stale urine, and/or alcohol. Do they not have any shame?? 'nuff said there (we DO get quite a lot of homeless bum customers, considering I work downtown, and we have a problem with homelessness here that the local provincial gov't doesn't seem keen on fixing anytime soon) -People who ask for lots of condiments that IMO really shouldn't go with fries (like mayonaisse, Sweet n Sour sauce or anything that's not ketchup or vinegar) I might add more as I think of other BS I deal with on a daily basis :P Anyways, feel free to vent off here chaps :) |

YES. My chance to vent to the world. Living in a triple with the most obnoxious roommates. The newest addition to this place isn't so bad...but so many horrible stories. Lack of privacy. One of my loud, obnoxious, bitch-of-a-roommate keeps me up late as she talks to her boyfriend on the phone, CONSTANTLY harassing him and calling him "baby" in the worst imaginable voice.....she then wakes me up early every morning doing the same thing. She is on teh phone with him 24/7 with her blue-tooth headset. I want to destroy it. They talk all day lovey dovey bullshit and then get sick of each other by the time night comes and she keeps me up all nigh screaming at him, telling him to propose to her, etc. So fucking annoying. Also, this particular roommate has MASSIVE hygiene problems. I live in a suite, two rooms connected by a common bathroom. She goes to the bathroom (I'm talking ALL of the above going to the bathroom, like....erm....prefer not to get into detail but you know) WHILE TALKING ON THE PHONE WITH HIM! I dont even know why or how you'd want to do that! WTF. And she doesn't ever wash her hands. EVER. I have a massive bottle of hand sanitizer for my own sanity. She tells me that she sits on the floor of our nasty shower....that is shared with 6 girls. It's so bad I wear sandals in ther.e..and she just sits on the floor ignoring the mold on teh curtains pretending it's a bathtub. ew ew ew ew. She coughs and sneezes all over teh place without covering her mouth....I could go on. On top of all this....she's the most self-centered person I ever met. Soemtimes I raelly do go crazy, listening ot her on the phone....nwo I drain her out with heavy metal in my headphones. And hah, one of my orignal triple members teamed up with her to wake me up at 4:30 am one morning, crying hysterically as if they were having a bad acid trip, telling me there was a ghost in the room. An angry 18 yr old male spirit.....poor hygiene roommate wrote down everything he "said" on a piece of paper....i read it...ah was ridiculous. Other roommate told me I walked right thorugh the ghost on my way to the bathroom. Long story short, she left us. Was one horrible night...was pissed as hell waking up at 4 am and not sleeping the rest of the morning. I could go on FOREVER. I'm actually starting a blog about all of this. So far it's just one long massive entry. Written a lot better than what I just wrote...I'm in a rush... but yes...here me world: TRIPLES SUCK (if you have horrrible luck like me). |

BUT it's getting pretty high enough that the gov't actually wants to try and cut down on it, partly since higher obesity rates = more taxpayer $$$ spent on healthcare for those people :( |

Sometimes, even though we get a lot of people who are obviously having stressful days or whatever, some of them decide to act like friggen assholes to you just for the sake it, and usually when we say that we are out of certain product or condiments. There was this customer one time, whom we told that his chicken nuggets were going to be a couple minutes (as it was near closing time and our orders were being cooked on a by-order basis) and decided to get in an arrogant rant all of a sudden about our supposedly unclean store (basically was nitpicking about stupid shit and blowing it out of proportion), and I said to him that if he kept insisting on arguing despite what we told him otherwise, that I would have no choice but to call mall security to escort him out of the building (believe me, there have been several instances where I've had to call security for various reasons - you wouldn't believe some of the weirdest people I've had to get them to deal with) . He shut up afterwards needless to say. |

Ok..I guess I can name a few....Can't stand people who stand in the middle of the shopping aisle taking up room and gabbing to people they know, and having barley enough room to get through with your cart! Being in the drive-through just to get a Timmie's coffee and haivng to wait 15 minutes because the person in front of you has ordered the whole menu. Or any drive-through for that matter. Waiting in the Emergency Room....need I say more. People who chew their food with their mouth's open......so gross! People who follow too closely behind you while driving. |

I get really really angry when I see little kids on Rock concerts with no ear protection. When I warn the parents about the danger they are exposing their children to they often tell me that "they like it" How stupid is that. It's like telling me that a 2 year old child likes playing in the middle of the highway, so let them... I get the creeps when the push buttons on cash machines are all greasy and dirty, it really turns my stomach. I also hate dirty seats in buses and trams and garbage all over the place in streets and public buildings. Not to mention dog dirt and chewing gum on the sidewalk. But then I think I must be a very happy person when I do not have any worse problems:) |
| inu-liger 03.03.2009 04:37 |
Hmm... I guess I could also say, I don't like it at all when people smoke marijuana at rock shows.....happened twice at Q+PR (Vancouver 2006), and nearly gave me a headache there. Happened again at Roger Waters a year later (for fuck sakes, Pink Floyd music does NOT require you to be high in order to enjoy it! Gits) Going into public dirtiness, I HATE it when people don't do any of the following after they've gone to the washroom: -Flush the toilet (GROSS) -Wipe the toilet seats which have been slightly pissed on (unfortunately, again considering the mall I work in, it's become a habit for myself, out of hygienic necessity, to check the toilet seats before I sit down to do my business [img=/images/smiley/msn/sad_smile.gif][/img]) Also, even though I don't have to take care of cleaning the tables in the food court, I still find it disrespectful when people leave big messes of garbage on their trays on the tables. I personally didn't care so much when it was smaller messes I cleaned up after when I was at my previous location, but some people (usually teens) intentionally left big messes on, and sometimes around(!) the table for us to clean up after :-( Oh well, karma will strike them eventually... |

Or any drive-through for that matter. Yeah. I couldn't even count how many times I've been bitched at for long waits like that, due to someone ahead of them ordering the whole menu like you put it, LOL.

I'm seeing The Who in a month and I'm asking myself the big question : do I take ear plugs with me? I can't really afford proper ones from the audiologists, and I don't want my experience ruined by those cheap foam ones. I never go to rock concerts, or pubs, or anywhere, and it's been a couple of months since I've gigged... surely a one off won't kill me? Unless there's a stampede. |

I hate mayonnaise. Now, my list... let's see... :) Old people who always need to go somewhere at the time when I go to school. Today one hysterical old lady almost broke my rib with her elbow because she thought that I'm going to steal her seat. =/ Snobs. I dislike people who hate religion just as much as I dislike religious fanatics. Closed-minded people. Injustice. Reality shows. Why would I want to watch bunch of semi-retarded airheads drinking their morning coffee? |
| YourValentine 03.03.2009 09:27 |
Zebonka , you are an adult (at least physically), your ears are not so sensitive as the ears of a little child - they can get seriously affected for life by one too loud concert over 1 hour. Above that, you will notice when it starts to hurt and you will protect your hearing automatically, even if you use a piece of tissue. Because you can get a permanent hearing damage if you don't. Children do not notice when the noise starts to hurt them. Certainly one show is not so harmful as non-stop IPod all day long. |

I get really cheesed of with immigrants coming over here and taking our jobs, council homes and our white god-fearin wimmen folk. A good lynchin would sort them out. I'm none too keen on homosexuals either. It's not that I have anything against gay sex, other than the fact it makes me want to puke my guts out, and what two consenting adults get up to behind closed doors is their business, buy is it too much to ask that they be castrated, chained to the back of a truck and dragged through the streets as a warning to others. Homeless people really get on my nerves. If they really enjoy staying out doors in all weathers, why don't we just round them up and keep them in a field. They could then be slaughtered and used to feed the poor. Athiests really piss me off as well. I'm a great believer in respecting the beliefs of others but athiests don't have any beliefs and as such dont deserve any respect. I think we should feed them to wild animals, lions perhaps, until they change their godless ways. And most of all I hate people who only read the first two or three lines of my posts, assume that I'm a right wing lunatic and fill my PM box with hate mail. fatty. |

| Erin 03.03.2009 10:40 |
I was kind of wishing I'd wore ear plugs after AC/DC. It was, without a doubt, the loudest show I've ever been to. It took a few days for my hearing to get back to normal. Definitely, worth it, though! [img=/images/smiley/msn/devil_smile.gif][/img] |

Well I guess lions are ok..... I love your comment about respect XDDD and oh, don't worry, I won't send you anything. I'm not that fond of messaging. Things that piss me off: Me My weak ankles My hair Lame radio station my bus driver puts on everyday that has shit music My older sister who wastes more time on this computer than anyone else in my family Some really religious people at school. I mean, don't get me wrong, I get that they have a religion, it's just that they get so annoying when they start talking about how we should all believe in God and how gay people can't get married and how I'm going to hell... It's too much for me. And, I got a dilemma too. I don't know how to come out about that to my parents. They're super religious but have no idea what I'm thinking....I'm scared that they will be angry with me or be ashamed. I don't know when to tell them I don't believe in their religion.... :( Actors/comedians who suck in my opinion: Adam Sandler Jack Black Will Ferrell Carlos Mencia Seth Rogen (however you spell his last name) Ah. That felt great to let out. |

Taken over a huge bar on Sauchiehall St in Glasgow (any Scots will know it... most will anyway ha). Last manager was a total fool by looks of it, so shouldnt be too hard to make my stamp on the place. Only thing is... bar staff I have are fuckin morons ha ha. They're total piss heads and keep callin in sick for work. Anyone want a bar job lol? I need some hot chicks... not being sexist, but the last manager was gay and has went a little top heavy on male staff lol... so need some pretty faces behind the bar... experience not necessary. |

Here's a new gripe..........Local transit bus drivers (ETS) who pass by my stop(s) 3 minutes too goddamn early!!! That should be WHEN I am GETTING TO my stop before the bus is scheduled to arrive!! (Thankfully I live within 7-10 minutes walking or running distance from work, but it is NOT cool when you are dealing with insane winter weather!) God, hopefully the Daylight Savings change coming up on Sunday will fix that like it did last time (seriously!), only for them to start falling behind like 3-4 months later anyways >:-( |
