| Colin's going to break out his "things that annoy me at work" list.
- People. ...OK, I should be more specific. - People who KEY IN their account number when you ask for it instead of saying it over the phone when it's clear they're talking with a human. - Customer service representatives from India who manage to completely destroy your name... I've been introduced to callers as "Calvin", "Paul", "Carter" and so on. - Card holders that call you by a different name; I've been called the above as well as Cynthia on one occasion. - People who think I'm calling from the Fire Department instead of the Fraud Department. - Back to the customer reps from India... introducing me as a supervisor when I'm just an agent, and then of course the card holder gets pissed when I tell them I can't solve the problem and that I'm *not* a supervisor. - One more from that department... the customer reps from India *ALWAYS* asking me how I'm doing. Total waste of time and it sounds like they have guns pointed behind them when they're saying it. We need to stop outsourcing our work to India. |

| I agree with Colin.
-People. But I will also be more specific. And throw in a few other things as well. -People that chew gum or eat food with their mouth hanging open. I don't want to hear you chomp away or smack your gum, I really don't. This absolutely drives me insane. I can't even explain how pissed off it makes me. -People that use "gay" as an insult. -People that refuse to accept that they might be wrong about something. -Anyone that's too loud. If I'm a few feet away, there's really no reason to yell. I'm not deaf! -People that are rude or disrespectful. I don't care how much you dislike someone, don't be a dick about it. Keep it to yourself. -Racist, sexist, prejudiced, or inflammatory comments of any kind. -People that are too lazy to care about the state of their current affairs. For example, someone that's too lazy to study and get good grades, or too lazy to go to the store if they're hungry and there's no food in the house. It's called responsibility! -Unnecessary tapping. -Rap music. -Country music. -People that lie. -Getting sick. -Not being able to find an album I really really want to listen to or a movie I really really want to watch. -Cramps. -Saturated fats. -People that believe global warming is a hoax. -Customers at work that treat me like scum on the bottom of their shoes, just because I'm the worker. -Bill O'Reilly. -Drunk people. -People that tell me "I suck" or "I'm stupid" or anything similar because my interests or hobbies aren't the same as theirs. Oh god this annoys me. -TV shows that go on hiatus mid-season. Bastards. -Books that prove to put me to sleep before I finish the first page. -People that just don't try. I think that's it... I might think of more. I'm sure I will. |

| I agree that people are annoying....but I must explain, too.
-Stupid people (or rather, people who are ignorant of their stupidity and act put out by the fact that xyz isn't going their way) -People who judge you without knowing you -People who THINK they know you -Dishonest people -Cruel people -Ignorant, sexist, racist, or prejudiced people -People who talk about you behind your back -Narrow-minded people -Pessemists -Trouble-makers -People who cannot/do not appreciate what they have -Disrespectful people -Fanboys -People who insist they are right even if you prove them wrong. -People who go out of their way to make others feels bad -Unfaithful people (in love or in friendship, the former ESPECIALLY) -People who do not try their hardest -Creepy people -People who can't take hints -Perverts (in the context of them acting perverted at me) Probably more but you know ._.; (edited by Yoronosuku on 02-11-07 03:51 PM) |

When people aren't listening when I'm trying to talk to them. Like if they're looking off somewhere else, messing with their phone, or saying uh-huh or laughing at the wrong time.
Anybody putting anything anywhere near the inside of my ear

Originally posted by emcee I don't understand the entire "look at person when they're talking thing." I know that I can hear someone perfectly no matter what direction I'm looking, hence why people can listen to multiple people at the same time. Supposedly it's a courtesy thing, but I think this is unnecessary formality. |

| I will say, however, that when I'm calling up a Sprint or Cingular rep, I generally DO ask how they're doing. I get a quirky reply sometimes even if they're under surveillance. It generally lightens the mood too when I have to talk with one for over a half hour at times.
I will say, though, that I hate phones. I hate taking phone calls period in that regard...especially when it's on business. A BILLION TIMES OVER, I'll have people ask our store hours and just hang up. If we had as many calls as we had customers, I wouldn't have two jobs now. I generally abhor talking to people that think that I'm magically going to have every single answer in the book when they call RadioShack. Generally speaking, we may have a lot more knowledge in the area of technology, but only in a general sense (because we HAVE to be certified in it or we just don't work for them). Take, for instance, one person I had the other day that was calling to ask what the service coverage for Sprint for a town that wasn't even in the one I'm living in. Now, I can find a coverage map just fine (use sprint.com even) but here's where it got fishy. The person wanted to know if I KNEW PERSONALLY what the coverage was in a town 30 miles off or knew anyone that would and she was sitting in ANOTHER RadioShack asking the same question and wanted confirmation. The simplest solution to that? CALL THE DAMNED RS IN THE TOWN WHERE THE SERVICE IS BEING REQUESTED YOU GODDAMN @)(#*!#)*! Seriously, these people just do not have one scrap of common sense and I get these so often. |

| Okay, well I have a sort of a list.
-People who ALWAYS talk about themselves. -People who think they're better than everyone else. -People who think fat people are actually helpful to the poor. -The Burger-king King. -Club Penguin. -People who make lists like this, but ten times longer. -Goths. They think their life sucks while they never actually take notice of homeless people and people who are abused. -Emos. Same as one above. -Everything else that I find annoying, like ant hills and dirty socks. |

| I tend to be able to deal with my annoyances fairly well, but there are a few that will set me off that I can think of immediately:
* People ranting negatively about Operating Systems, Consoles or other technology that they have not used, spouting off misconceptions and acting like they are some kind of authority on said technology. Apple and Nintendo products seem to be common targets for this kind of thing. * People who have a willfully ignorant and lazy attitude towards things that they should make an effort to learn, whether it be for their job or for some other requirement. This usually directly affects me regarding computers, as I regularly interact with people who need to use computers for their work, but willfully refuse to learn even bare computer basics. * People who want my help, but will not disclose to me important information surrounding what they need help with. If it's confidential, I understand a little, but generally most people are asking for help with computer problems and yes, I REALLY DO NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE FUCKING ERROR SAID!!!  For fuck's sake, help me... help you..!   |

- Advertisers, you know. The kind that is either a bot, or a human working as a bot. - People with really stupid pet peeves. Originally posted by TaraleOh god, you should just know how I agree with all your points. Your 2nd point do remind me about some classmate, who I wonder why he hadn't jumped off this programme. D: And I really love when all people tell me when they get a problem is... that they got a problem. :/ I love it when the solution is like, in the messagebox as well. But some people have to ask someone before they proceed. (edited by Ailure on 02-12-07 05:01 AM) |

| I could make a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge list, but I'll try to avoid some of the more obvious ones.
-Those "chat bots" all the phone companies use now, where you call the tech support line or whatever and you get this machine that talks to you and wants you to describe the problem in English. These things never work! And I hate talking to machines on the phone, it's just so akward. (Similarly, I hate when I close down the car wash at night, I have to phone the manager and just read off a list of things I was supposed to do. It's the same list every time, what good does this do? Reading from a script over the phone is just argh.) -Ads of just about any kind. Any online ads that pop up/under windows, move, and especially play sound and/or try to install adware. Really loud TV commercials. Commercials in which people sing some stupid jingle that gets stuck in your head and makes you want to harm small animals. Forums that have the second/second last/every second "post" be a fake post which is really just an ad (in some particularly terrible cases, even for registered users). -Whoever decided Ctrl+V should be paste, so you copy something, go to some other part of the document/whatever, highlight something else that you want to paste over, and accidentally hit Ctrl+C instead of Ctrl+V. This is especially annoying if you'd used Cut instead of Copy. 
-People who are always right just because. People who complain about me not knowing things they didn't tell me. (E.g.: Them: "Hey why did you eat the pizza on the counter" Me: "Because you said we could just eat anything that was sitting on the counter" Them: "Well not pizza" Me: "And how was I supposed to know this?" *no answer*) -Compiler errors that make no sense. You use -> instead of . or leave out a semicolon and you get 20 pages of crap like "(dsdf87ew5r76.o + 0x78564) - line 0: In function "___ZXXFG876655(unsigned long int __GFUYD78, unsigned long int __4yti4G)": Cannot convert "const char*" to [some giant type that doesn't exist]". -Visual C++. It doesn't appear to be C++ compatible at all; I don't think I've ever managed to compile a program with it that wasn't written with it, and I've certainly never managed to compile a program written with it with any other compiler. Half the time, it won't even compile programs that were written with it. -Boards that don't allow guests to view pages, download attatchments, etc. I remain convinced that a properly designed and implemented CAPTCHA would prevent any automated spam from getting in. (Few if any are properly designed and implemented, so they don't work and people complain and just block out guests entirely.) -Trackbacks on blogs. You see a blog post with 400 comments and 395 of them are just pieces of text from the article, links to some other site or pieces of text from their article on the subject, or occasionally one or even no words, surrounded by "[...]". -Having to sleep, eat, go to the bathroom etc. The thought of spending 33% of my life asleep bugs me. For that matter, any change in my conciousness (having to go to sleep sucks, but once I'm asleep, having to wake up sucks). -When things on your computer change and you have no idea why. Even when they change back, it's still annoying, because you wonder why it happened in the first place. -When you hear something fall off a shelf but can't see what it was. -Cravings for food you can't get. I could sure go for a chickenburger right now, but it's 4 AM. (edited by HyperHacker on 02-12-07 05:50 AM) |

| - "stupid and proud of it" people. This is topmost on my list for a reason.
- religious nuts trying to force their beliefs and moral schemes upon others - any other people believing into something with religious zeal without questioning and doing the above - programming bugs lacking any rational explanation - AOL grammar, wrongly placed spaces, commata, apostrophes and what-not. - Self-righteous people. - People who can't take a joke on their account. - narrow-mindedness/chauvinism/racism - pretentious persons asking for something and acting like they have some sorts of birthright on being helped - inobjectivity, bias - my own inability to stay in schedules and consequently work on something - overly credulous people (the kind who, after being shown a "terror barometer omg" on "red" for three days straight, will be psychically broken enough to accept the government installing a camera in their bathroom under the premise it helps catching terrorists) - minor components that don't work like they should and consequently make the whole thing fail - the fact I'm too lazy to come up with more points for this list I'm sorts of amused by how many people list "being insulted as gay" in the one form or other. It can't be that bad, can it? Besides, there's plenty other frequently used insults with obvious sexual innuendo in the English language.  |
