3. People who are paid to do a job and are totally inept. You're at the mall asking the salesperson if they have a shirt in a large size and they're like, "I don't know." i mean, what else do you do. That's your job, to know if you have the shirt in large.

Lifesaver, we share the same peeves! I absolutely can't stand when that happens! It's like "Heellllooo, what the hell are they paying you for?"
This is another peeve of mine....
I work as a computer consultant in the Medical School at my univ. One of my jobs is to assist med students who come to the front desk to check out materials like headphones, learning CDs, etc. This scenario happens to me quite often (and anyone working in customer service will definitely feel my pain/peeve):
Me: "Can I help you?"
Student: "Yeah do you guys have the cardiac case CDs ready yet?"
Me: "Uh no, they're still being made. If you come back tomorrow, they should be ready"
Student: "Oh...so, you guys don't have any?"
Me: "Um, no, tomorrow though"
Student: "Sooo, you can't get me a copy of it?"
Me: "No, we don't have any ready...at all"
Student: "Oh....hmmm...well I need to use it for my exam tomorrow. Is there any way I can get one now?"
(By this time, I'm 'bout ready to pimp slap some sense into this person! And these are Med students!! You'd think they'd understand plain, common English!)
Me: "I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do"
Student: "So tomorrow they'll be ready?"
Me: "YES"
Student: "Ok, thanks"
This happens to me at least twice every time I work! Some people just don't get it!
