    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.

    GRRRRRRRR This drives me insane! It's like people are incapable of reading 1 sentence.

    I currently work at Lowes in the paint department and every single can of mixed paint says in all caps NO RETURNS ON TINTED PAINT. And yet people bring it back (because they didn't realize burnt orange would clash with nursery pink? Really?) and flip *kitten* until a manager gives them a refund, which only reinforces their notion that "If I scream loud enough I'll get what I want."

    The way people treat customer service-based employees in general is a serious pet peeve. Just because I'm on the other side of this counter doesn't make you superior to me, doesn't give you the right to abuse me, and quite frankly, I don't get paid enough to put up with your B.S.

    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. :(

    This is mine, big time.

    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!

    Ha, ha! I do this too! Except I usually share with the 4-year-old... but you better believe I make a mental note and go refill what he's eaten afterwards! :)

    What the heck? Wells Fargo's first-time homebuyer's guide says to go to www.homedownpayment.org for more information about down-payment assistance programs....and it's a site for lingerie! OMG :explode:

    Seriously, type it in...

    If anyone gets anything different, I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong.

    I have SOOO many pet peeves but the first one that comes to mind is when you go to a store, and you park way away from any other cars, no cars for 30 spaces and when you get out some turd pulls right beside you! Oh that makes me furious..lol

    Today's pet peeve is that ridiculous iphone app that makes people fat. Maybe I should stop being so sensitive, but a tiny skinny little thing in the office has been snapping people with it left and right and then posting them on facebook. And only one person defended me when I said categorically NO - I won't play. I'm sorry, but first of all it's tactless because being fat isn't funny and second, I've worked damn hard just to make it 1/3 of the way to my goal - the last thing I want is to see what I would look like with it all back! Grrrrrr.

    There's a woman in our office that does insurance verification for the hospital and when she's not on the phone, she listens to music with headphones on so that she can drowned (sp?) out all the background noise and that is all fine and dandy, but then she has her phone ringer turned up to the very highest volume setting so she can hear it ring over her music and she's like 2 cubes away from me. It is SO loud, sometimes it even kind of scares me. It's not even that big of a deal when she actually is at her desk to answer, but if she's not, it just rings and rings and seems like she doesn't even have her voicemail set up because it just keeps ringing, or the caller just keeps calling back or something. Any case, It is SO ANNOYING! Shouldn't there be a rule or something about this noise pollution?

    Thanks! I should have thought of that. I'm still flabbergasted though. Their guide so totally says .org...and why would a lingerie site be called this anyhow?

    On my way to work today, there is an intersection that I go through that clearly states, NO LEFT TURNS, and it even has a big left arrow with a red slash in case you can't read! Of course though, who do I get stuck behind today but the one person in this city that clearly can't read! So aggrivating !!
