^^ Agreed
lol and that is why you are awesome :D
Well...that and many many other reasons 
^ lol.
not naming ANYONE specifically; but when i want a BOOST; ive now adopted the trend of a recent comedian; and when requesting my name to be called when my bevvy is ready to be collected; i only respond to either "batman" and or "captain awesome".
it raises unimpressed eyebrows from the youthful trendy staff behind the counter; but invokes a smile or two from me, and bystanders around. try it sometime :D

^ That's an awesome quality Fjones. I'm not always very good at laughing at someone poking a bit of fun at me.
well... I usually am not either
But, I like Lacey K's writing style. She does humor and sarcasm well, and I can appreciate that. Also, I can't really be mad at her, seeing as how most of what she said was only a mild exaggeration. Also, I am working on being a kinder gentler person who goes with the flow and rolls with the punches (and uses a lot of hackneyed clichés also, apparently).
What I like about Lacey's post was she put time and effort into writing an entertaining piece. There is no need to name names, but some people on BL have a way of "poking fun at people" that is really lame, involves no creativity or thought, and merely resembles 3rd grade insults.

Oh hahaha I bet it was Boost. It was wasnt it?! :D I know this because I always have the exact same experience as you neo. And it fucking shits the fuck out of me.
I always ask for something specifically because i hate ice and all that yoghurt they add, so THEY rip ME off by adding 0.1% juice.
And what do the stupid blonde bimbo 14 year old girls add that this Boost store *always fucking hires*? Adds ice and yoghurt, when i ask for plain watermelon juice.
8) My god i hate Boost. They really should spend the extra and hire people with half a brain.
My peeve today, excel. I fucking detest excel and it needs to die.
hey fjones, glad u didnt take that shit the wrong way man. 
I really have a hard time disliking people on the internet. even when i disagree, unless its over some shit that is related to morality for me, I rather make friends than enemies and while Ima always say wat I feel, Im someboddy that can honestly say that I rarely ever mean shit with bad or cruel intent. funny thing is that I do know the feeling of people bothering you with stupid inconsequential questions, statements, etc when you aint tryna hear it. My boyfriends mom does this. She comes home from work at 12 am (she works 3rd shift 3-11pm) and me and him are fucking in his room and she goes and stands outside the door and goes "HEEYYY (HIS NAME) I WENT FOOD SHOPPING OK? SO, I GOT SOME PEANUT BUTTER SINCE YOU SAID WE NEEDED IT, AND UH, THE PROGRESSO SOUPS WAS ON SALE SO I GOT SOME UH, CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE, BEEF CHILI, AND CORN CHOWDER, AH, OH YEA I GOT TWO THINGS OF ICE CREAM AND ...." and the bitch goes on, telling him every goddamn thing she bought at the store. She will stand outside the door for a hour, having a conversation thru the door, its so fuckin weird. She even does it when youre in the bathroom. They got a real small one floor house, its a cape cod house (thats the one level house with the attic that is like a box with a triangle on top, right) So you walk in and its living room , kitchen in front of that, and to the left is the bathroom, his room,and her room. the little hallway space is about 4x4 feet, so she just stands in the little tiny ass hallway thing and talks and talks and talks and wont go away. Like this:
It makes me want to kick down the door and be like SHUT THE FUCK UP!! CAN YOU NOT TALK FOR ONE FUCKING MINUTE OF THE GODDAMN DAY??? I DONT GIVE A SHIT WAT YOU GOT! THE KITCHEN IS TWO FEET AWAY!! ITS ALL THERE! WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME EVERY SINGLE ITEM OF FOOD YOU BOUGHT, HOW MUCH IT WAS, IF IT WAS ON SALE, AND YOU MIGHT AS WELL TELL ME YOUR UNDERWEAR SIZE WHILE YOU ARE AT IT, WHILE I CLEARLY DONT RESPOND AND AM IGNORING YOU! WHY ARE YOU STILL STANDING OUTSIDE THIS DOOR WHILE I HAVE SEX YOU OBNOXIOUS OLD HAG!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
this bitch will seriously talk all fuckin night. and she always does this when you have to go somewhere asap. She will 'talk ambush' you til you want to get up close and personal with a .45, about the most IRRELEVANT, USELESS, STUPID shit that got nothing to do with anything important, or,if it is somethin that is actually even SLIGHTLY related to anything that got something to do with my BF, she will pick the most horrible time, and then proceed to tell EVERY SINGLE STUPID GODDAMN MUNDANE-ASS DETAIL OF IT, and she talks SO FUCKING SLOOOOOWWWWW. Seriously when i am takin a shit or a shower or wat the hell ever, and this bitch comes and stands outside the door, yelling thru the door at me about god knows wat stupid-ass crap, I curse her existence and her need to do this. This waste of time story about some fucking lady at your job that works with you that i never heard of before and will never meet, is SO FUCKING URGENT that you HAVE to tell it to me RIGHT THIS SECOND because the fact that i am RUNNIN out the door with the car already started in the driveway and in a huge hurry, or maybe that I am tryin to concentrate on the fine art of dick sucking, must not mean that I am busy at all! No, it means that I am up for a FORTY FIVE MINUTE LONG CONVERSATION THROUGH THE DOOR about your sisters stupid-ass boston yapper dog!
This shit been on for years and i still never get used to how much it annoys me, so, I can relate to havin your rage sparked by stupid and pointless unnecessary comments that could wait til a later time but instead just HAVE to get done right this second while you are doin something that is a bigger priority than listening to some run and tell the world mutha fucka talk about JACK SHIT. RRRgh I got mad just typin that! :D

Again, another possible repitition, but when people in retail don't understand "that's all."
Drive-Thru Worker: "Welcome to McDonalnds. How are you? What can we get for you?"
Redleader: "I'm hungry. Two large fries. And that's all."
Drive-Thru Worker: "Anything to drink sir?"
Redleader: "Okay, I'm going to drive across the street and get Wendy's, on the hopes that they understand that 'that's all' means 'that's all' to them. If not, I'll go hungry for the night, just on principle."
Wendy's Employee: "Welcome to Wendy's. How are you? What can we get for you?"
Redleader: "Hmm, the number 3 combo, medium and with a coke. And that's all."
Wendy's Employee: "Would you like to upgrade to a large for .20 cents?"
Redleader: "I read the menu before placing my order, so if I wanted a large, I would have ordered a large."
Wendy's Employee: "Anything to drink sir?"
Redleader: "Would you like to upgrade to a better headset? So maybe you can more clearly hear me say "and that's all"?"

On the lines of the TV theme, when people sit down halfway through an episode of a show you're really into, and want you to catch them up on the plot. AHHHH! If you really cared, you'd have sat down at the original time with me, or recorded the show for yourself. If I took the time to explain to you everything about what's going on - who that guy is, why they're doing that, etc. I'd lose the plot in the current moment, ruining the show for me. I find that very rude.

Lacey you just made my day :D
Red-- They are required to 'upsell', it is not optional. So chances are they know exactly what you mean, and either are on autopilot, are new and trying to develop an autopilot, or have their boss breathing down their neck. The wage slaves don't get to decide what they say to the customers; at least not if they want to keep their job.
Having worked at Starbucks when I was in school, I had to try to upsell every single customer. It's miserable, degrading, and pointless, but so is working in those places. You get treated by your boss, the company as a whole, and the customers as little more than a vending machine. A little patience and tact goes a long way. If you don't like being upsold to, don't eat out.

ROFL Lacey my god both of your posts just totally had me lolling like a fool at work. Hahahhaha oh yeah papi LOL. 
(Sorry if I offend ANYBODY with my indiscriminate use of LOL 
)
And Fjones..Kudos for being a good sport and laughing about it :D
A pet peeve of mine is when I have to use some tape (but there is no tape dispenser...we cannot have tape dispenser with us at all times, right?) and it takes so fucking long to find the part where it ends, and when I do, I pull at it and it lifts off in one TINY STRIP and again it takes me forever to find the end...arrrrrrrrgh.

holy shit. If I had started eating my breakfast I think I would have choked on it from laughing out loud so hard. Lacey that post was hilarious and the diagram is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
I was just awakened by the tormented scream of my roommate, at which point I ran downstairs in my underwear fearing she was being attacked by an intruder, only to find she accidentally dropped her pet fish down the drain. So, I was in a bit of a bad mood (not mad at her, in fact, I sympathize, because I love pets and animals, I was just frustrated with the situation), but, that post just ensured that I am going to be in a good mood all day
And redleader, that was hilarious also. When I got to the closing line of each conversation I laughed pretty hard.

LOL Thanks for that Lacey :D
I agree with the pro-belt guy, it jus completes your look, thats all, like wearing shoes.
also, people that purposely drive in the left lane, and stay their just to be in control. They know they need to yield over to the right, but they would rather sit there for 5 minutes with brightlights shining in their mirror cuz they are stubborn and have no driving etitquite.
and sorry for you southerners
YA 'ALL -- This is not a word, and neither is "LIGHTBILL" when refer to to your electric bill, so do you get a seperate bill for you lights and then another one for everything else?
seriously annoying!

This isn't as much a peeve as something I just straight out don't understand.
People who say they're doing something fun 'for charity' and ask me to donate. "Please donate, I'm bowling for charity on Monday!" HUH? Well, why don't I just start saying everything I do for fun as 'for charity'. "Hey guys, I'm going to the beach and tanning for charity! Donate now!" "What's up amigos!? I'm going to eat a burrito for charity tonight. Donate and help homeless Mexican children!!!" I'm sure the money that's donated actually goes to the charity but why would I give in the first place?
Why aren't you doing things that actually suck to raise money for charity? That's the whole reason people are giving money. It's like "oh man, that person cares, they're going to go run 10 miles in this horrible heat in order to raise money for those kids. That's noble. I'll give my money to him." Not "Jeez, I bet playing go carts is going to be a real good time. That really prompts me to think about those poor abused Greyhounds. I ought to give him a 20."
I really don't get it. 8(

I don't like when charity people really have very little idea about their cause.
Charity Person: "Hey! There are kids dying in Darfur and it's a tragedy. Will you please help?"
Redleader: "I will donate twenty dollars if you can locate Sudan on this unlabelled map I have conveniently here in my pocket."
Charity Person: "What is Sudan? I'm collecting for Darfur, not Sudan."
Redleader: "Okay, $30 if you can point to Darfur on the map."
Charity Person: "The kids, they are dying..."
Redleader: "Dude, you're pointing at South America."
Charity Person: "The kids, don't you care about the kids?"
Redleader: "Hold it right there! I'll give you $30 for the kids if you give me $30 for my chairty."
Charity Person: "Your charity?"
Redleader: "Yes. I help raise awareness and provide education for charity workers about the causes for which they're actually raising money in their own charities!"
(note: I am not heartless, I actually do give part of my paycheck to charities. I'm just having a bit of fun...)

Oh I know how it is, haha. I worked at a Starbucks too way back in the day. My boss always made my try and do it through the drive-thru.
Redleader: "Oh, you ordered a grande of our latte? Well did you know that it is paired very well with our reduced-fat cinnomon swirl coffee cake? Care to try one today?"
Female in car: "Reduced fat? Are you calling me fat!!??"
Luckily, I had one shift-supervisor who agreed with me that upselling was stupid. So I designed an experiment where I attempted to upsell to every other car which came through the window over the course of my shift, and carefully record the amount of tips given by the "odd" verses "even" cars. I was begging and hoping that the cars I did not try to upsell to would tip more, but it didn't go my way
I say bad coincidence!I kind of stepped down from that job (in fear that I was going to be fired) because of my refusal to try and upsell.
Redleader: "That was just a pickup truck of four alpha-males. But you insisted that I offer them samples of the strawberry danish with the little sprinkles."
Boss: "Redleader....they could have taken them home to their wives, and then their wives could have said "yum, that's great. We should call our girlfriends and go get this tomorrow!!" "
Redleader: "Actually, no....it's didn't go like that at all. Trust me."
So glad I'm no longer in retail!

Whenever a telemarketer calls up I ask which company that they work for.
If it's not a well known name I say to them "Oh sorry I believe I already own that company" and hang up. Hahaha.
I get some smartass telemarketers though. I once said "urgh" and hung up, THEY CALLED ME BACK! and did a high pitched squeal into the phone before hanging up. :D
My annoyance for the day is when I try to call up my mobile phones customer service.
It is based in India and I HAVE NO FUCKIN IDEA WHAT THEY ARE SAYING.
WHY THE fuuuuuuuuuck do you put people who barely speak (coherent!) english in customer service?!
Oh my god everytime I'm on the phone for about 5 minutes asking them to repeat the same thing about 10 times before I can understand it
ARGH!

^ Weird. All my experiences with overseas customer services reps are so amazing. I think they speak better English than I do. Lately, however, it's been most of my overseas customer service calls have been located in The Philippines instead of India (yes, I ask them where they're calling from).
