I don't usually jump in on these threads....but my biggest pet peeve right now is seeing all the stupid hCG threads going on. Agh, when will people learn that there is no magic pill/drink/diet/food/hormone that will make them lose the weight that took them years to put on.0

OMG! That is so exactly what I was going to post, seeing the hcg threads all over the boards. I've never posted on this thread but decided it had finally gotten to me. ack, have we now spread the hcg virus here too?!:laugh: :laugh: :sad:I don't usually jump in on these threads....but my biggest pet peeve right now is seeing all the stupid hCG threads going on.

Is that stall #2?? :laugh: :laugh:
Just as bad are women's restroom stall doors that don't shut and/or don't lock :explode:0 -
Ok, I have a lot of pet peeves, most of them I can get over pretty quickly, but I have a few from this weekend.
1. When you are spending the weekend at someone's house and you bring a friend without asking.
2. When you are going to buy beer and the guests insist on you buying expensive beer because he doesn't like to drink the cheaper beer you were planning on buying.
3. When invited guest and friend leave randomly in the middle of the night, without a set of keys. So they call the intercom to be let back in, when you finally get up and let them in via intercom, you go to unlock unit door and find that they left it UNLOCKED while you and your husband were sleeping.
4. When that friend sleeps all day on your couch and you can't get anything done.
5. When that friend CLOGS your bathroom sink and says nothing to you about it.
6. When the actual invited guest blows up (you know what I mean) the master bath toilet instead of the guest toilet right before he leaves for the weekend.
7. When the invited guest and friend have stayed with you several times in the past and you NEVER, EVER receive a thank you from either one of them for anything.
That makes me feel a little better. The invited guest and his friend are not invited back until they can learn some freakin' manners.0 -

I forgot one, when you show the invited guest a picture of all the hair you snaked out of the drain and he replies, "Yeah, he's really gross. That's why I'm not living with him this year." Then why did you bring him to my house?!?!0 -

I am not a smart man but I know how to tell somebody to hit the frakin' road. I would have been right after #2. (The beer, not THE #2)!0 -
Rude customers. I work in a supermarket and there is no need for people to be rude, I have to sit there all day smiling and being nice to people, taking 2 minutes to give a little back isn't hard.
I had a customer today who was particularly rude to me because I couldn't give her cash back as i'd only just jumped on the till (we had a power surge and everything was chaotic) and there wasn't enough cash in it. She continued to moan about how she only came in to get it while paying for the stuff she clearly didn't want and stood there while a massive queue formed. I really wanted to be rude back but professionalism and the fact i need to keep my job stopped me from doing it.

Looking up information on a (large) company's website - it clearly details out specifics and fees associated with service/product.
You CALL the company and are told "oh the website must be wrong"... so you call BACK (me thinking I got a noob on the phone)... and different person says "I don't know why our website says all that, it's wrong".
Yeah you will not be getting MY business. :explode: :mad:0 -
Since I'm trying to eat healthy my biggest pet peeve is when people say 'Ewwww what is THAT you're eating!?'
Also annoying - when I dilligently plan out every piece of food going into my mouth for the day and someone asks me to share. Come ON, I'm on a diet! I don't want to share my food with you, but saying no sounds awful.

If your receipt says 30 days with tags attached and unworn then why do you yell at me??? I just work here. I did not make the policy.0

A coworker who asks for help with her phone because she can't keep up, but then is making personal calls in between the work calls. And I have to answer her phone because she is on yet another personal call... Grrr......
And not being able to complain about it because I too am guilty of making a personal call from time to time, but I would never do it when I couldn't keep up with my own work load.0 -

I laughed so hard reading this. I'm the same way. My boyfriend wants whatever I bring into the living room to snack on. Honey, I counted out 20 pretzels and that is what I'm logging, not 18. Go get your own!0 -
When you tell someone you are trying to lose weight/you have a goal/a new mindset
and they lash out at you and either say: " You are crazy"
" You are going to waste away "
&& the best one of all with the worried face " I'm afraid there is going to be nothing left of you"
when clearly they feel threatened by the fact you are going to get slim....
I had to get that off of my chest.0 -
I'll probably sound like a curmudgeon, but...
--Spelling/grammar/punctuation errors in business-related communications. I work for an EDITING company. It's so unprofessional when folks in the building misuse commas or misspell things!
--Inconsiderate drivers. This includes people who don't use turn signals, people who drive below or way above the speed limit, people who try to "anticipate" the green light so they can get to the next one 0.5 seconds faster, people who don't know how to park (seriously, folks: an SUV is NOT a compact car, and if you can't park a big car, don't drive one!)...the list goes on.
--Parents who make no effort to discipline or comfort their screaming children in public. Fine, I understand, sometimes a kid gets cranky. But if you're in public, you sure as heck better be making every effort to get that kid to shut up--not chatting to a friend on your cell phone while everyone else gets a headache listening to your brat scream!
--Tissues, paper towels, food packaging, large amounts of leftover food, etc., in the sink with the dirty dishes.
--People who let their dogs run around the neighborhood off a leash. Especially in the areas where we (and everyone else) walk our dogs.
--Commercials and ads. I can't stand them. Not on TV, not on the radio, not online.
--People who text, talk, etc., on their cell phones while driving or on an outing or interacting with someone else. Is it too much to ask for your undivided attention for the 30 minutes we're eating dinner, or the 2 minutes you're checking out your groceries? Is there really something THAT important that it can't wait?
[edit: added]--JARGON. I loathe it with a passion. If you want me to figure out where I'm wasting time, say that. Don't tell me you want me to "identify arenas where I can add efficiencies to my workflow."
In general, inconsiderate behavior in any context really gets my goat. Whatever happened to the golden rule?0 -
Screaming brats+idiot parents = my day ruined.
The BF using every pot, pan and utensil in the house to cook a small meal. I do the dishes.
Clients at work that refuse to listen to what I'm saying and instead, hear what they wanna hear:
Me: That'll be $385
Them: WHAT?! Why is it so much??
Me: Well you got the (list of vet services).
Them: I never okayed any of that.
Me: *Takes out signed estimate* Well... you signed and okayed all of these procedures.
Them: .... *annoyed sigh as if I forged their name, then shoved credit card at me* Whatever. Man, (to the lobby of people), they get you comin' and they get you goin'.
Me: *sigh/fake smile* Thanks, buhbye!

If you have a new business and you take out an ad in the paper to advertise said business... and you have a website listed in said ad... THEN MAKE SURE THE DAYUM WEBSITE IS DONE and UP before you put it in the ad!0

I work in a call center (I AM NOT A TELEMARKETER) I answer the phone for 90 clinics and I get the call that says "You just called me, what do you want" Ummm, I didn't call, I don't know which clinic you are calling, and I don't know who you freakin are! I am not a mind reader.0

The old lady next door who feeds the animals regardless of the community rules that say not to. And the $125 fine.
I'm not talking about a handfull of nuts for a squirrel.
I'm talking about an entire freaking loaf of crumbled bread thrown out on the lawn.
When I got in my car once, I accidentally hit the windshield wipers. Picture cheez-its flying at 7am. No need for coffee, I am now wide awake.
As if its not bad enough that its on her lawn, she flings it from the door in any direction. Its on my proch, my backyard, the hood of my car- along with a million scratches from squirrels climbing up there. Bagels, peanuts, bread, crackers.....
Not to mention the bugs that are attracted to it and the squirrels that become psycho and try to come IN MY HOUSE looking for food. Then there is a mouse problem in the complex and people put out poison. Then the stupid mice come die in my yard.
OK. I'm done ranting.0 -

Ok I need to vent (no not about work for once).... I've ALWAYS ordered my dog's heartworm meds online from various places, I shop prices and order a year's supply with whoever is cheapest. I get the order and I delete the email receipt.
Earlier this year I switched vets and dog went and had all the yearly shots and also yearly heartworm. I ask about prescription because I order online and vet says "oh no problem just have the company call us and we'll confirm it". Fast forward to today, I'm currently OUT of meds and placed an order a week ago. I call the place to follow up and they say I need to call my vet (um ok you couldn't call me to tell me that BEFORE now?).
I call the vet and the girl at the desk says I have to provide PROOF that my dog has been on these heartworm meds continuously for a year and she needs a copy of the last time it was filled.... UHHHH ok, maybe someone could have told me THAT piece of information back in March when I was there and ASKED specifically about it???? If there was any prescription info on the box I threw it away on July 1st when I gave her the last pill, I've never HAD to keep anything like this before.
So now I get to go home tonight and try to sort through old credit card receipts from a year ago and HOPE that I find a purchase from an online pet place. :explode:
(and yeah ok, I probably should have been keeping those purchase records, but in 9 years of owning this dog and 11 years of owning my previous dog I have NEVER had to keep that info)0 -
:explode:
Venting about work - I just a client phone to tell me she is out of batteries for her hearing aids. Normally, we tell the client to drop into the clinic to pick some up. However, today the receptionist is sick, + the consultant is working by himself = no drop ins. I tell the client this and she absolutely loses it on me. "I've been out of batteries for 3 days and I absolutely must have batteries today, I'm going to see the Lion King tonight!!"
OK, if you've been out of batteries for 3 days 1) how have you been hearing? 2) Why did you wait 3 days to decide you needed batteries and 3) Why did you not pick up a supply when you were in last.
Why can't people think ahead.....0 -
