Biggest Pet Peeves

One other thing my coworker does is eat all the ******* ice after drinking a fountain drink. Just chews the **** out of it, this can't be normal behavior right?

Nearly every drink I have with ice, I do this. I've been told it's a symptom of iron deficiency.

People who have those little stickers on their car windows with the stick figures representing each member of their family, their age, and gender. Wow, talk about making it easier for child molesters and abductors.

Couple years back, I saw a minivan/kid hauler where dad had been scraped off the back window. You could still see the outline. Oops.
 
Work related: The dumb **** who asks you the same question repeatedly. One of my coworkers has asked me the same question AT LEAST 50 times in the past 6 months and then gets all pissy when I have answer in a very calm tone to keep from exploding. "Well, you don't need to take attitude with me." Uh, yes I do because you're a ******* moron who keeps asking the same damn question. You're lucky I'm not management yet or I'd fire you for incompetence.

I deal with salespeople in different regions of the country and they all do this. When they aren't asking the same question over and over and over and over again they are calling me to ask me to help them do extremely simple tasks that they should be doing on their own.

"Hey... can you send my customer an ACH form?"
"Hey... can you add an address in the system for me?"
"Hey... can you tell me how much credit my customer has on their account?"

Maybe I should just offer to fly out to their sales office, sit down at their desk, make their sales calls, go on their road trips, meet with their customers, etc... and just do their job for them? It's pathetic. The only way to fix it is to not be an enabler. Next time your ******* co-worker comes up and asks the same question tell him/her to grab a pen and a notepad, give them the answer/explanation/directions, double check their notes, and then send them on their way. If they ever return and ask the same question again just tell them to refer to their notes.

Wait, you guys are being serious? I eat the ice too, I didn't think it was a sign of anything other than wishing there was still some more fountain drink left.

Awkward.

Awkward.

It's a sign that I want to punch you in your iron deficient throat.
 
My pet peeve is rather broad, and that is people who are deliberately out to hurt other people, animals, or the environment. I take consolation from the fact that I won't have to put up with it forever.

We have notes with screen shots that show the screen and numbers to signify which things need to be clicked and in what order. Still can't figure it out without IcSyU's help. :mad:
 
Is that your cry for help? Dont kill yourself please.
Actually, I enjoy life more than most. In the last two weeks I have landed record breaking fish. Now some might say that I am being mean to fish. I think of it more as the fish being nice to me.

The guy whose pet peeve is people who are mean to animals enjoys fishing, oh irony you are delicious.
 
People who walk the office hallways looking for food left over after catered lunch meetings.

We have a couple here that must be feeding their extended families.

I hate to admit it, I even enjoy cleaning the bloody things. Don't ever pollute my precious Missouri River because of frakking. See how broad and complicated a pet peeve can become.
