Pet Peeves ver. Fjones vs Redleader

[mrs_mia_wallace]

oh, good one. i hate that too! kinda a lose/lose situation though, cuz i get annoyed if store people don't greet me, and also annoyed if they are too helpful. i just want them to say "Let me know if you need any assistance," basically. i've never shoplifted, so it really bothers me when they hover!

I do as well. I HATE when you're walking around with a ton of clothes on your arm and no one takes them from you to put them in a dressing room. I also hate when you're standing around waiting for a dressing room or a cashier and no one pays attention to you, or when SA's don't even acknowledge when you walk into the store.

But I also hate when they pay too much attention to you. I love shopping but I'm broke so I frequnetly go window shopping. When SA's come up to me and start asking me what I'm looking for and recommending brands and whatnot I just feel bad because I know I'm wasting their time.

But, being watched like a criminal just pisses me off. I've left stores because of it, or if I'm the only one there and the person is staring me down. A couple weeks ago I was shopping and had a lot of clothes on my arm. This manager was talking to an SA and he was saying I had picked up quite a few things and she responded "yes, its a sign of shoplifting. I was 10 FEET away from her and in complete earshot. I looked over at her and tossed all the clothes on the ground and walked out of the store. So fucking rude!

My fault for the confusion. I was trying to mix two pet peeves at once and I failed.

I didn't mean to refer to adopting kids, as I understand that this is a huge process.

I was referring to all the unqualified parents out there who create a baby, which anyone can do.

So basically I was venting about how I am annoyed daily by some bratty kid and its unfit parent(s) who never should have had a kid in the first place, while I struggle to adopt a cat for whatever reason.

Gotcha

In fairness, I don't see how her statements could be called racist. She isn't putting down any race, she is just complaining that people cannot speak English. If the job requires speaking English and they cannot do that, I can see people being frustrated.

That doesn't make people racist.

yea but her post didnt say nothin about them being in a job or customer service or nothing. just a general peeve of ppl not speakin the language, and then assuming (by wat observation? living in their house n watching their day 2 day life?) they they dont TRY or dont WANT to try. Thats all. in stores, yea, but who the fuck gives a shit wat somebody speaks if they aint talkin to you??

 

[**hAyzzZZ**]

And i whinge about this because the area I work in is a lower socio economic area with a fuckload of migrants, and a good 10% of people that come into the store i work at, can not speak any fucking english. It's so frustrating. You know they live here, I see them all the time, yet they don't understand even basic communication. WTF!@?!?!??!

I didn't mention that I work in retail did I lacey k?

Before you start having a go at me in the future, read my entire post properly.

I am not racist, just sick of people coming into my work and not KNOWING THE LANGUAGE THIS COUNTRY SPEAKS.

Oh and btw, they need to speak english so I can serve them and tend to their queries. Just to clear that up for you.

i love soda. you guys are nuts. i hydrate with water, but nothing comes between me and a cold pepsi!

have you had pepsi throwback yet? it's DELICIOUS. and i say that as a coke drinker.

 

[**hAyzzZZ**]

hayz-- The problem is that they usually serve it at ambient temperature. Get that bubbly water ice cold, and it refreshes like a dream. Well, maybe not as well as ice cold still water, but pretty close.

I dunno. This was bottled water I'm talking about, it was really cold but i really hate mineral water. It tasted awful

 

[Dave]

To each their own then

 

[ThaiDie4]

Ok, I appologize if this is off topic, but what is the difference in all of these waters?

I have heard of mineral water, seltzer water, carbonated water and bubbly water- are they all the same thing?

Club soda and tonic always confuzes me too

 

[eon_blue]

So so so angering when your hot and just want some plain water.

yes, but what's even more enraging (in europe) is when it's hot and humid and you order a glass of water, only to discover the water is as warm as the weather!

then you ask for ice and they look at you like you're crazy

Trucks that drive in the left lane. Seriously !???? WHAT THE FUCK. There are laws against that shit and they still fucking drive in the left lane. It really makes me mad especially when I am driving on a two lane highway. They purposely don't let you pass either. Fuck them.

 

[ThaiDie4]

^ gahh yes! I just had this expierence over the weekend with an Abbott bus. I was stuck behind that stupid fucker in the left lane for 15 minutes going 60 in a 65

 

[Mister Superzombie]

My pet peeve goes to all the motherfucking birds out there. Could you please STOP screaming at 4 o'clock in the morning, while I, like many other human beings, am trying to sleep? Basically I have the choice between sleeping in a 100° room or open the window and endure the screamings of these little sons of bitches.

And to all of you bird-lovers that I already hear yelling at me, telling me how beautifully birds "sing", let me tell you that, in reality, what they say has a high chance of NOT being beautiful at all. Basically their typical conversation probably looks like this:

Bird 1: It's morning, yeah!
Bird 2: Look at me, I scream louder than you!
Bird 3: Fuck you, fuckface!
Bird 4: Who wants to have sex with me?
Bird 1: I can fuck you in your ass if you want! It's morning!
Bird 5: Shit, crap, vomit, birds.
Bird 2: Hey, isn't this Mister Superzombie's house?
Bird 4: Let's go to his window and scream until he shits himself!!!

Damn birds. Go in the woods. And die. No you don't have to die, but still, go in the woods. Freaking creatures with no arms.

I report them. I'm serious. You can't actually report them if it's a two lane highway, but if there's more than 2 (4 I know, not sure about 3) you can call highway patrol and give them their license plate number because they are supposed to be in the two rightest lanes. I fucking hate trucks. They scare because a) they are fucking huge and if you were to hit one you would probably have the back end go through your window b) there is NO WAY they can see all areas from their review mirrors. I hate when you're driving and have two trucks on either side of you... it scares the shit out of me. They also go slow and annoy me and I have called on many occasions. I am such a bitch.

Probably been said but, people that piss on the toilet seat really piss(no pun intended) me off!

How hard can it be to lift the seat? really?!

Especially older blokes, it's like c'mon you've been using your dick for 40 fucking years you'd think you might be able to aim it in the bowl!
It's not like it's hard the bowls like a foot in diameter!
It's fucking disgusting and to leave it there for the next person is just vile!

 

[KStoner6tb]

People who give halfass directions when I'm trying to get somewhere. Then I can't find the damn place and get really pissed off. I also get equally annoyed at myself when I have decent directions and just keep missing an exit, turn, etc. Haha I refuse to buy a navigation system for my vehicle. Keep it old school with roadmaps and shit.

Or they could just lift the seat up when they piss?? I have found it far less likely to piss on the seat that way.

oh, good one. i hate that too! kinda a lose/lose situation though, cuz i get annoyed if store people don't greet me, and also annoyed if they are too helpful. i just want them to say "Let me know if you need any assistance," basically. i've never shoplifted, so it really bothers me when they hover!

Same heeeere. Actually, I LOVE going to places where I am basically ignored (lulz). If I need help I'll just ask for it. And I super super super hate salesladies who HOVER !!!

Haha me too man.
I drive a LOT for work, all around the city and out in country towns too, and my work gave me a navigation system thingy. I don't use it. I know the city well enough to not need it, and if I'm in a suburb that I'm not familiar with I use a map.
Plus, when you're out in country towns there's only like 2-3 streets anyway so you'd have to be a bit dense if you needed a navigation system out there

Yes me too!!
The worst one is when you're IN the changeroom, trying on the items you've chosen, and the sales assistant will come over and pass you over the door another dress, top, pants etc, and say "Here, I thought you might like to try this as well"

.....??

If I wanted to try it, I would've chosen it off the rack and taken it in the changeroom with me!! 8)
