› Forum › THE LOUNGE › What really grinds your gears?
What drives you nuts? What really pushes your buttons? Besides the obvious “people who buy rabbits and have no idea how to care for them”. Go ahead, rant away!!
This is what really grinds my gears:
-People who can’t drive
-People who talk on cells/text while driving
-People who stand in the aisle at the grocery store and chat with friends
-People with no common sense
-When I order coffee and it tastes like “poo”
-People who place classified ads and can’t spell
– Vain people
– Songs that say the same lyrics over and over and over
– Reality shows
– Celebrities
I’m sure I will think of tons more as the day goes on
-people who have been here for a long time and don’t bother to learn english
-people that say rabbit messes are digusting/rabbits stink
-people that have to be obnoxious in public (attention)
-crappy coffee (I already deal with rabbit poop, I don’t want my coffee tasting like poop)
-people that don’t say please and thank you
-noise when I’m trying to sleep
-getting rabbit hair up me nose!
People in stores and restaurants who talk (very) loudly on their cell phones
People on the interstate who routinely run me off the road at 70mph while talking on their cell phones (and never even realize they pulled over on me)
People standing behind me in the checkout line running their basket into me because they’re spaced out talking on their cell phones.
People yelling at their kids because they can’t carry on a conversation on their cell phone with their kids crying at the top of their lungs.
see the pattern here? lol
– tail-gaters!
– people who can’t control their kids and the kids yell at the top of their lungs
– rude customer service
the f-word
people without patience
lack of manners
people who love to talk about how drunk they were
“people who love to talk about how drunk they were ” — Good one Petzy! me too! (I’m sorry but getting urself drunk to the point of vomiting the rest of the evening, is NOT something i want to hear about and it makes u look like a fool, not ‘cool’!)
– People who own small dogs and think they don’t need to train them b/c it’s a small dog.
– People who drive the speed limit or slower in the left lane.
– “Farmer Blows” (if you don’t know what it is u are lucky).
– People who talk to you in their ‘outside voice’ and are standing a foot away.
– Men who make that aweful yuck noise and then spit in public (OMG Gag!)
– People too lazy to get out of their cars and walk there dog, instead they drive down a dyke or dirt road with the dog running after them.
– Mullets
– Women who show off that ‘tire’ they are proud of instead of covering it up with a longer shirt (or bend over so u can see what little panties they are wearing).
– People who push their religion on me (especially strangers at my door)
– People who put Ketchup on everything! (lol)
those are all very real, bad peeves, Andi ~
It’s the Ketchup one wasn’t it Petzy? LOL
no: the women showing off their garments or missing garments, yikes!
Hmmm….not sure where you hang out that women show off their garments or missing garments LOL. I do see that all the time though on the People of Walmart website…maybe that’s why I try not to hang out at Walmart…don’t want to end up on that website.
I’ve been trying very hard in my old age not to let too many things bother me. Maybe that’s why I stay home so much :~) No one can bother me there.
Sarita means to say that Walmart is what grinds her gears.
teaching 2 teenagers to drive a stick……
People who let their children run wild in restaurants. That really bugs me. My mom would have gone mental on me had I left my seat to go run around tables screaming my head off. Control your children, people! *grumblegrumbleshakescaneandsaysgetoffmylawngrumble*
People that can’t park. Like seriously. When parking spaces are narrow, for the love of all that is cute and snuggly, PARK STRAIGHT, not crooked! I hate my parking lot, I really do.
Guys that wear their pants around their knees, showing off their underpants. Seriously? Do you really think you look cool with your pants falling down?
those are my major ones today lol. Ask me again tomorrow hehe
I forgot to add a few
-people in line standing TOO CLOSE TO ME that the cashier thinks their stuff is mine!!
-screaming kids… no comment.
Kralspace LOL.
Yeah, not a big fan of Walmart…not a big fan of shopping period! I did not get this from my Mom…she’s a world class shopper – I cannot keep up with her shopping and she’s 72!!!! But a young 72 :~)
People who let their children run wild in restaurants. That really bugs me. My mom would have gone mental on me had I left my seat to go run around tables screaming my head off. Control your children, people!
OMG so true!!! I think that goes under common sense, but apparently this scociety is lacking that these days.
I was going to add the Pants thing to…. they just look SO silly.
Anyone remember that SNL sketch with “Crack Spackle”? … heheeh I wish i carried that stuff around with me.
-people in line standing TOO CLOSE TO ME that the cashier thinks their stuff is mine!!
Just standing to close drive me crazy, I like my personal space that you. I don’t like people rubbing against me, touching me in any way shape or form but it happens so much, specially when i am in the city shopping. I need to make a T-Shit that says “BACK OFF, i like my personal space”
I love walmart. I just go in my pajamas…
But I don’t wanna see peoples undergarments.
I swear this past summer was the year of show off your bra under lace shirts… I felt um… uncomfortable checkking out ppl like that…

I swear this past summer was the year of show off your bra under lace shirts… I felt um… uncomfortable checkking out ppl like that…
Could be worse, At least they were wearing a bra under the lace shirt… uuggghhhh
Haha another pet-peeve, women who leave their homes without a bra when they REALLY need one. (My mother-in-law)
Andi, I agree.
I was at rite aid yesterday, before my school orientation. I wanted some chips, pens, apple juice and these two guys decide to stand really close in back of me… I wanted to say “excuse me, why do you insist on standing so close to me????”
O.o
I’m happy nobodys in my school cafeteria. I’m stinking it up eating curry
Brittany you go to Walmart in your pajamas? Really. Be careful you may show up on the People of Walmart website LOL.
mmmm… currie.
Some of my co-workers hate when i bring currie, others it sushi that bothers them.
I love that People of Walmart website, it’s frightening and funny.
-people in line standing TOO CLOSE TO ME that the cashier thinks their stuff is mine!!
That one’s easy to solve. I simply step backwards and on to their foot! or casually swing around with my big old lady purse, works every time.
Andi! LOL LoL!
Curry is yumlicious!!
People should mind their own business when it comes to food. They’re not eating it
I love sushi! Especially the shrimp tenpura
Oh, another peeve.
I’m sitting in the cafeteria talking to my bf on the phone and this girl with a booming voice starts talking really loud >.> …
Lotsa things get on my nerves I try to respect ppl but if they aren’t respectful to me, forget it.
This lady was getting off the bus and there was another lady behidn her. She said “get off b****; hurry up!”
OMG
Sarita, I go in my sweatpants and a hoodie
My grandma sent me a ‘people of walmart’ picture email and I died laughing. I have the coolest grandma lol.
I don’t understand how women leave the house without a bra. If you’re going to.nmakr sure it isn’t noticeable
It’s OK to go to walmart in pyjamas, as long as you are wearing a bra~
and aren’t standing too close to someone talking loudly on the cell phone…
and they have screaming kids…
who are not wearing underwear…….
hold on here guys: I think if you had a bunch of screaming kids, it could escape you to put on a bra before heading out… and while you are in such a rush to get through the check-out because your kids are tearing up the store, you may find yourself crowding against the person in front of you in line…
I can tell who here goes to walmart…. (kralspace, you can’t make this stuff up)LOL
guilty, my checkbook belongs to Walmart (except for the bunnies, them I splurge on HEB veggies) and my daughter went through a phase between diapers and underwear where she’d drop her drawers and leave them somewhere while we were out. I took to carrying spares in my purse!
I don’t make it up, I just seem to be a ‘weird magnet’
I don’t make it up, I just seem to be a ‘weird magnet’
That is much nicer then what my friends called me in High School. Handicap (and well just odd people) have always been attracked to me, but not in a nice fun way. I’ll be walking somewhere minding my own business and then someone will attack me! On the bus is THE WORST! My friends used to think it was funny and laugh as some strangers asking if he can smell my arms and touch my hair!
so… i think we know now why i am such a personal space freak LOL
So, our grind is – Overweight people in little clothing, no bra & underwear showing, talkling loudly on the cell phone while standing brushed up against you in a wal mart line-up while her children run around screaming and eating ketchup. Then this person then get’s into the car they have parked crooked (still talking on the cell phone) and drives 10kms under the speed limit in the left lane while the screeming kids are not wearing seatbelts and eatcing ketchup.
-people who blasts their music everywhere
-squeaky voices(come on,i know thats not their real voice but why do they insist on using it?!)
-truck drivers that honks at you(so uneducated!)
-people that gets mad at me cuz i cant understand their language -___-
-my landlord that charges me $50 per rabbit even when it says on the contract that it should only be $12
-kids that asks me to buy them booze or whatnots
– People that say I’m really quiet when they first meet me. I’m sorry do you want me to dance on the table and yell?
– People that judge me and my family without really knowing us.
– Children that run around and are unsubervised and their parents
– People that joke about my rabbits…yes let me joke about cooking your children shall we?
– What people say about the rabbits when I’m at the fair….and people that stick their hands in the cage that don’t know anything about rabbits. I know my rabbits won’t bite me but I don’t always trust the rabbit knawing on the bar in a small cage.
– Stray cats that get in our yard…..enough said
– Wal-mart people (you know who they are haha!), I don’t like shopping their but the prices are better for some foods than other places.
– People that twitter or facebook when they’re in labor! Put the phone down geez! I’m always on facebook but there’s a line that should be crossed.
– People that put a million pictures of their kids and talk about how they’re “potty training” them or other TMI about parenthood. If I ever do that, someone smack me!
– How much athletes get paid…I don’t think they deserve all that money for throwing a ball around.
– When I call my husband or he calls me from work and someone goes up to him and starts talking and he has to let me go. Don’t you see he’s on the phone?! I get so mad when they do that, some of those guys have no manners at all there.
I’m sure I could go on forever but those are some I thought I’d share.
-My neighbor who blasts really weird music and is always using his chainsaw or hammer. Also his wife gardens in a bikini and she does not have a bikini body.
-My neighbor on the other side who is obsessed with birds and has at least a dozen bird feeders in her yard. There are always pigeons and doves in my yard, crapping on my car and psycho squirrels in our trees that never stop making noise.
Can I move to the country yet?
Dirty computer mice that don’t work properly and won’t go back together the way it was after I clean it *bangs mouse on computer desk*
And hey…I don’t wear a bra in public anymore….lol. And I like my pajama pants better than my sweats or jeans…why not be comfortable? ^_^
Pass me some of that curry Brittany, it’s freezing up here. *holds out hands* Oh yeah…WINTER grinds my gears. >.<
I saw this forum and just had to vent…here goes:
~people who feel they are entitled to certain liberties or discounts or special treatment because they are themself.
~people who are flakey
~people who abuse their friendship privledges
~people who don’t “play” fair and do their fair share at work and cherry pick
~people who don’t do the “Thank you waive” after you let them in or pass you in traffic
~people who give their opinions about your personal life without asking
~people who don’t watch their children in public places
~people who don’t discipline their children
~people who swear in public in front of children
~people who’s problems always outweigh yours no matter if yours is actually worse
~people who say one thing and do another
ahh….i feel better! thanks guys!
OOOOO, here is one:
-doing / saying stupid things on public transportation/public in general.
i don’t want to hear your rap music, thats why you wear head phones. i really don’t want to hear random german words being yelled out and people are staring at the idoit saying it
Mimz, are you okay with chicken curry? I like it to eat it with rice
skibunny, I’m really quiet when people first meet me. But if I feel this vibe, I can be quite loud, laughing wise
Brit, I think when I’m forced to meet new people then I get quiet. But if I meet people by myself I can talk easily to them. It’s odd I know. That’s why I think a lot of people that know me as being quiet wonder why I’d be a realtor but I can talk great to strangers by myself.
– People who you think are your friends that talk about you behind your back or stab you in the back….just thinking about her grinds me gears! (long story)
– People who bale on you and leave you to pay for something (like a concert grrr)
– When people cough and don’t cover their mouths
– When people claim to love the country but want the president to fail because he’s not a member of their political party. When the president fails, the country fails!
– Antisemites, homophobes, racists, bigots, misogynists, xenophobes, and any other groups of people who hate others for being different
– When people leave their pets chained up outside all day in extreme weather, like summer heat, winter cold, or precipitation
– When people joke about eating our bunnies for dinner. Not cool.
– When people have their car windows rolled down and blast their music so loudly that your own car physically vibrates
– Abuse of power – I’ve had several bosses who recognized that I’m non-confrontational and then walked all over me
– Negative reinforcement, especially with children, pets, and employees. Criticism can definitely be given in a positive, constructive way, so why not give all criticism that way?
– When know-it-alls on the internet put down others whom they think are stupid, or bad at playing a game, etc.
– When parents yell at their children in public
– What a negative experience it is to travel by airplane nowadays
– When people sitting next to you on airplanes try to flirt with you… please just let me read my book in peace
– Handsy men, especially those who grab girls’ butts
– Those who still think that only crazy people seek therapy and mental healthcare
– When negligence exacerbates disaster (example: Orleans Parish Levee Board and the US Army Corps of Engineers)
– Home-wreckers. If someone is involved with someone else, you shouldn’t try to steal that person for yourself
– Irresponsible role models, such as famous singers who dress and act in a trashy way and then influence young women to do the same
– When people refuse to neuter or spay their pets and then let them outside unsupervised
– People who are constantly looking to blame others for their problems. Tobacco companies aren’t responsible for illnesses, and McDonalds isn’t responsible for obesity. People should take more responsible for their actions.
– When religious organizations discourage birth control, especially in developing countries where people have fewer opportunities for education and awareness.
– When people adhere to all of the beliefs of their politic party without question
– When one family group demands your undivided attention during a holiday, even though you have other sides of the family whom you need to see as well – father’s side, mother’s side, in-laws, grandparents, ,etc. It can put you in an incredibly awkward position where you have to make the choice of either offending the demanding party, or neglecting everyone else
– When people get angry after drinking too much
– The “drop by.” When people show up at your house unannounced.
– When people visit you and then try to change your house, such as moving your furniture around the way they think it should be
Phew! I need to stop… I feel kind of guilty now for having so many.
-People who curse or say “awesome”, “like” or “um” every 2 words
-People with large egos
-People who judge other people because of their age, race, clothing, sexuality, religion, etc.
-People who don’t teach their kids manners (and the kids involved, too)
-When people scratch silverware on their plates…errgh
-When people go around with TERRIBLE breath and don’t seem to know anything’s going on
-When people take a huge poop and then leave the bathroom door open
-When people tune out everything you say. >.<

Oh I know how that is! I have on group that it’s always about them. They don’t realize that I have a family too. I don’t enjoy the holidays as much anymore because I have to split time between families (at several homes). I always grew up staying at the same house for holidays because we don’t have much family so we’d never go anywhere…so I get a little upset during the holidays…still getting used to it I guess.
oh, Fluffybunny, I’m rolling on the floor laughing out loud, that’s my ex husband you just described!!!!!!!

oh, Fluffybunny, I’m rolling on the floor laughing out loud, that’s my ex husband you just described!!!!!!!
Sounds like an…uh…interesting man…
sounds like most men
haha! The huge poop comment…
::snicker::
and spraying the house with a Vanilla scented spray does nothing but make me associate vanilla with the gag reflex. The scratching the silverware on the plate is almost just as annoying….lol
I have to add:
-people that talk during movies. i HATE that. If you need to talk, go outside!
Oh! And packing peanuts… OMG. They go EVERYWHERE and stick to EVERYTHING and take up SO much space, and aren’t we at an age where bags of air and bubble wrap are perfectly acceptable packing materials?????
Aw! But I like packing peanuts. : ( They’re not actually that bad with a little bit of salt.
nom nom nom
How about a thread about things we like that people do?
I like that idea Petzy…why don’t you start it :~)
oh hehe lemme see…
– CREEPERS! Andi, you attract handicaps and old, i attract creepy men. -.-
no i’m sorry but you cant take a picture of me. not just because you smell like drugs and look like a hobo, but because 1. i dont know you and 2. your really kinda creeping me out..
and no im sorry 27 year old guy who HAS A DAUGHTER and is best friends with my sister’s bf (shes not actually my sister but ive known her forever.. she used to babysit mcan now i babysit hr baby) … but i wont sleep with you.
– bratty rich kids.
i don’t care how much you paid for your shirt, and i like my clothes.
– screaming kids.
i do like kids but some parents need to controll their animals. My rabbits are better behaved.
– the under garmets. bra’s were made for a reason and should be worn in public – unless your wearing baggy clothes and nobody can tell.
– people who’s problems always outweigh yours no matter if yours is actually worse (thanks katiep made my typeing easier :p)
and from lizzyknittybun V
– When parents yell at their children in public
– When one family group demands your undivided attention during a holiday, even though you have other sides of the family whom you need to see as well – father’s side, mother’s side.. My parents do this.
– Handsy men, especially those who grab girls’ butts
– Home-wreckers. If someone is involved with someone else, you shouldn’t try to steal that person for yourself
– Irresponsible role models, such as famous singers who dress and act in a trashy way and then influence young women to do the same
– and did i mention creepy men!?
PSA: Men, please don’t be creepy!
– People who wear TOO MUCH smelly stuff (perfume/cologne) (It’s to dab lightly not bath in people!), or use it to cover up the fact they smell like a cigarette (PS: it doesn’t work, u still stink, but double)
XD wow this thread really exploded.
I would like to add: feeling helpless, whether it is helpless when there is a friend in need, or any other situation that just isn’t “right” – I think I have an overdeveloped sense of justice
People who think their city/state/whatever is the best ever, but never have bothered to go anywhere else and have no real basis for comparison
Traffic. God, ugh, but I did learn that from my mother at a very young age – my first curse word was when I was about 3 in the backseat and my mom was driving. Some other car did something silly, and I shout “Move your ***, lady!” My mom: “…….”
Music that is about drugs, money, women, etc…. these people have the chance to make a positive impact on the world and sing about something serious, and nobody ever does. I know sometimes we need lighthearted things, too, but seriously – given how celebrity obsessed we are, these people have a responsibility to speak on behalf of bettering the world. Oh, yeah, relatedly: people who complain a lot but do nothing about the problem. Or people who are totally apathetic and “the world/this situation is what it is”.\
Being more capable than your boss
People who eat noisily. Chew gum loudly, really any mouth noises tend to freak me out unless I am happily distracted with my own plate of food. God, that sounds sort of phsychotic, haha
i would just like to comment after lots of music, and clothing / style complaints.. that i do eenjoy really loud music, and like miss k&k says about the “Music that is about drugs, money, women, etc…. ” i do listen to that music. i think the style guys wear is kinda cool (they can get carried away though.. its not a compitition boys…)
now i understand some people think differently.. many people actually. and with that i have no problem to each his own right? but i would also like to add it is they way / wher i was raised.. i’ve been around that type of atmosphere since i was about 4 or 5 so its what i grew up with. it makes me feel at home, with that i also had country since i was born so i’m a very rare mix <- anyways that was off topic a bit but my moral was : some people / teens / kids have been exposed to that since birth. so for them that type of thing can inspire them, and can also make them feel confertable. so i guess its a bit hard for some people who grew up in a different time and see things differently to look at it from my perspective. i know kids that their music is the only reason why they are still alive. these "rappers" if you call them that are an ispiration for some kids. When i was younger (before i understood the difference between males and females) i wanted to be like usher, and 50cent, 2pac, eminem, because that what inspired me. and after learning that i sing horribly.. thank you best friend.. and that male rappers generally are better than females i now have a new dream but its along the same aspect.
all i’m saying is an open mind to stuff like that can give a whole new perspective.
There is no way I can have an open mind about people wearing their pants in such a way their ass falls out
yeah, I gotta agree…………. i’m sorry :-/
I believe in being open-minded. I do. And frankly, I don’t care what people wear. I may chuckle to myself about some styles I think look absurd (leggings instead of pants, anyone?) – but I also wouldn’t say it particularly aggravates me.
But when the message or actions promote something harmful or intrude on the quality of life of another person, that’s where you have to draw the line. There is oodles of evidence that rap music has a negative effect on the self-esteem and behavior of young girls- go look it up if you don’t believe me. There are rappers themselves who admit they wouldn’t let their own daughter listen to most of it – I’m sorry, but if they feel that way, why do they think it’s okay for everyone else? Ultimately it is the beats we respond to, and you can tell that from the many popular songs whose lyrics are gibberish, so why not say something truly inspiring rather than degrading and violent? I respect appreciation for the style, I even have some hip-hop I like, but I will never be open minded to songs which are racist, sexist, encourage young people to do drugs or be violent, and so on. You yourself say you looked up to these people, and I say that I’d rather the young people of today look up to someone who doesn’t brag about shooting someone and treating a girl like she’s worth nothing.
Or if you are, say, ruining a pleasant dining experience for someone by being loud or having children running wild, or keeping someone awake with your loud music. There are just certain things that go beyond your right to express yourself, be yourself.
We all have a right to our own opinions, tastes, etc. But I think we all also have the responsibility to strive to make this a better world and NOT to do something which we know is harmful to society or prohibits someone else from doing what they reasonably enjoy. So long as something is within those confines it doesn’t get to me. But, of course, just as we all have a right to our own tastes – other people have a right to disagree with them, find them funny, and so on.
*edit* Edit to say that, I don’t mean offense or snippity with anyone here, nor am I judging any opinions stated by anybody. Just my personal viewpoint: I take certain things very seriously, and the rest, I care very little about. Nothing meant combatively, but only to explain.
Agreed. Songs about racism, sexism, drugs, violence, just really shouldn’t be a part of our society. Definitely the “Artists” shouldn’t be looked upon as “idols”. That is another thing that bugs me
Oh. Another one I remembered. Getting weird looks when buying feminine products. Like seriously. Only 50% of the population need them, stop looking at me funny when I buy them .Yeesh.
Agreed!!! Of course I guess we can order anything online nowadays, which must be a plus for really shy people. I don’t mind, I just raise my eyebrows back to make them feel uncomfortable for being rude.
LOL You guys!!!
*Rude people
*People who stand so close in a line up they touch me (I HATE touching strangers)
*People who try to plow through a door you are already going through…like ‘hello-WAIT’
*People talking on phones while driving…Actually Dave and I play a game when we drive-it’s guessing what the person is doing that is making them swerve/cut off/not signal/slow down/speed up and just drive like an idjit….we guess ‘drunk, on the phone, 80+, spaced out’ and then we pass them to see what they are up to…It’s like the license plate game but morbid :rofl:
*People who talk behind other peoples backs
*People who lie or steal. I HATE that…
*People who smell…Your going out in public-please put on deodorant..and you don’t need to wear 16oz of perfume!!!!! SOME of us are allergic!
*People who treat their pets second class. ‘he barks so I got a zap coller’ ‘it’s just a cat’ etc. As bad as people who neglect or abuse pets me thinks…
k&k i liked this one
*People who smell…Your going out in public-please put on deodorant..and you don’t need to wear 16oz of perfume!!!!! SOME of us are allergic!
just for the record i dont care at all about what you guys think about the style or what ever i like hearing your perspective i was just givving mine, sorry if it came off in the wrong way. i really did like hearing what you guys thought of it. miss k&k now im interested, im going to go look that up.. and i do belive you
Omg lol!!! Okay I get the walmart joke now…Imma go find Britt and take a pic of her there and upload it on the site! bwahaha!
Okokok …..you “poo” coffee drinkers ROFL I cracked up. As a starbucks worker that really makes my day because sometimes I wish I could put bunny poo into some customers drinks that are just so foul and rude they really just deserve it.
I work at a drive thru starbucks which I believe is way worse than a normal one and have considered transfering because of how rude and in a hurry people are. I don’t have many things that piss me off in life, but really the few I have are all work related.
-People who tell me the drink is disgusting that I just handed to them. I offer to remake it for them but oh god know they are in too much of a hurry and just call me a bad name and drive off. I didn’t even make the darn thing. This lady said her hazelnut white mocha tasted like mint…. the mint bottle is no where near hazelnut and we just washed them. She told me we did a terrible job washing them and sped off. So in short….I hate people that come to my work with a stick up their bum already and then take it out on me. I HATE working at the window.
– california’s school systems and how the music program is the first to be cut from schools that lack funding and how athletes make more money than teachers.
-people who ask for no ice in their drink so they can get more bang for their buck. It just annoys me because I am supposed to do an “add dairy” charge and they will fight you about it. Somedays it’s not even worth the fight. If they ask for ice in a different cup then I will put up the fight.
-MEN WHO USE MY WOMENS BATHROOM AT WORK AND LEAVE PEE IN THE TOILET AND THE SEAT UP!!!!!!!! #1 THING TO RAGE ME ANYDAY
Oh wow that ticked me off just thinking about it.
-people who get pets but don’t take proper care of them and don’t even try to or have no common sense to think something is wrong with what they are doing in the first place.
Linds, I always use the drive thru at my starbucks across the parking lot, and I am always nice to them I think they like seeing me cuz I always ask them how their day is going, and thank them for my mocha
Being nice goes a very, VERY long way. You have no idea how many people we greet through the menu and say, “Hello, how are you doing today,what can we get you to make your day better?” …and they say ” Yeah.Gimme a Carmel frap” They don’t even listen to us, just have their focus on their drink. Or even some of the older men inside that gather with their friends on the patio … They won’t even converse…just give them their coffee. “Hi how are you today?” “Tall coffee with room.” …. WOW OK….
I had 7 fraps on the bar I was making and this guy comes up to the register (our backs are turned) … “excuse me, excuse me…EXCUSE me!!!! Can I get a tall coffee??” I remained cool and collected, since I’m very used to being abused all day by customers. “Sir, I will be right with you as soon as soon as I can.” No please, no nice manners, just gimme gimme gimme now now now now now!!!!
Btw Les …today I met a new woman who transfered to our store. ..she moved from OR ! She said her tips were almost 50 bucks a week. I get 10 dollars a week. What does that tell you about people who live in my area? Grrr.
Lintini, if I ever happen to be at your Starbucks, I’ll be nice to you AND leave a nice tip.
Just tells ya.. you need to move to Oregon hehe
From my point of view, the peoples in Oregon are nice. I haven’t ran into an idoit yet, but I know they exist everywhere.
LOL, LINDSEY DON’T EVEN UPLOAD A PICTURE OF MEH!
– my mom.
Laugh!!
– Friends that try to 1up my other friends. Just stop.. Please.. you make me wnat to delete my facebook!
people who say “I’m not racisit but..” followed by a racist comment
people who go on and on with racist comments and jokes, same goes for jokes and making fun of people with handicaps
people who dont neuter their dogs, then bring them to daycare and complain that their dogs dont get to play with the big group….uhh ya, because your dog may be perfectly friendly, but that doesnt mean the 40 other dogs are OK with your dog being intact. and BTW 99% of the time, their dog is NOT perfectly friendly, they are extremly macho and walk around looking for trouble.
breeding dogs “just because”
over protective pet owners..seriously I am very lax about my dogs I admit..my dogs got in a fight, Mistys shoulder got ripped open..so I grabbed the crazy glue and glued it shut lol but working in a doggy daycare, I deal with the most obbsessive dog owners and they drived me crazy! most recently a small dog got a small bite on him..dogs owner paniced, rushed her dog to the vet..the vet put peroxide on it and said it was fine! that how small and minor this was, then she is calling demanding that the owner of the dog that caused the bite pay the vet bill! first off there was no aggression involved, it happend in PLAY, second of all, we are not going to give you another clients information just because of you having a panic attack over abosultly nothing.
-people who call and schedule an appointment for the next day and then don’t bother showing up or calling (I’m the front desk person in a hospital)
-people who talk on their phones in the waiting room
-guys who sag their pants and/or do that stupid macho strut thing
-people who make fun of little dogs (I have a chihuahua) (“That’s not a dog! It’s a rat!”)
-People who try to “one-up” you on your bad day. “Oh you think your day was bad! Wait til you hear mine!” instead of being supportive
-small children who are grabby
-small children period.
I’ll think of more later, I’m at work so they just keep on coming to me

Alina, I am sorry…. little dogs are funny A neighbor used to have one, and I always talked to it, telling it that my bunny is bigger than it was hehe.
Sorry!
Nooo how could you? Lol I’m kidding, if it’s in a joking way it’s fine. But it gets to a point where it’s like too far you know? Like ha ha okay my dog is little but you’re an ass.
Or when it’s like flat out mean. Like I had this lady come up to me and my dog at a fair and say “No man will ever marry you with a dog like that”
After my jaw hit the floor I asked why. She said because “no real man will live in a house with a purse dog”

i responded to an add on kijiji 3 weeks ago about a dog run. they said they would drop it off the next day. ive called them 3 TIMES! they were supposed to drop it off 3 TIMES! and didnt come or call for any of them.
Oh wait here’s another 2.
People who assume I’m an imbecile because I work at the front desk. I choose to work this position because I still get to have contact with the patients, just not with their vomit/body fluids/GI issues/etc. I get paid to talk to people and make them feel at ease before they go in, and I’m good at it so I work the front desk. Not because I’m uneducated.
People who leave messages saying “hey it’s me”

Wow. A real man will love any pet you have, just because you do. My hubby adores our bunnies, and puts up with Hello Kitty invading the apartment… and he is a real man

Do you work at a Doctors office?
Yes I do! I work at the coolest clinic ever. Instead of doctors and nurses I have acupuncturists, a chiropractor, several massage therapists, two nutritionists and 5 psychologists. It’s called Integrative Medicine. Integrative because we’re actually in University of Colorado hospital and not some sketchy massage parlor or something. 99.8% of my patients are awesome. I have exactly 3 patients out of my regulars that are irritating. Other than that, everyone else is awesome
Well said, Monkey
It is true.. My boyfriend (future way down the line husband) adores bunnies and my bunny adores him
Too bad for that pathetic lady. She obviously doesn’t know the feeling of animal companionship.
Alina, I’m going to school in January to become an MA
I’m not sure what type of position I’d like to work afterward…

I wish I knew what I wanted to do. I need to go back to school, but I can’t decide what I want to do. Anything I’m interested in doesn’t pay well or isn’t a lucrative career
