The "Don't You Hate it When . . ." Topic

[tickledpink]

Since we've taken the "significant other" turn...

Don't you hate it when men leave their underwear on the bathroom floor!!! Why, Why, Why! ***sobbing & traumatized***

Also, don't you hate it when you get a new hairstyle that you think is "the bomb", but now after you've left the shop, you've seen at least 7 different women (3 of which you work with) with either the same style or some variation of it.

why did I come in my house after I worked 12 hours and find a house full of (ok 4) people playing cards and he got the nerve tro say I was wrong for putting them out. S**t they can go to his house

But don't you hate it when you sit in the shop/salon all day and for some reason, she/he just can't seem to get your hair the way you want it? Then you have to go home and do it the right way! Maybe it's me being picky, but there are only a few styles that I can actually walk away from the shop and not change later.

Speaking of men...
Don't ya'll hate it when you get all frustrated when they don't call when they say they will?! Why do guys do that?! And you try so hard to be like "ok, whatever, he's not gonna call. I don't care". But you still wonder in the back of your mind "damn, why didn't he call? Where the hell is he? etc etc"

Don't you hate it when you order something from the internet and it never comes? It's like you never ordered it, no charge on your card, no nothing. I ordered a pressing comb (in a moment of frustration) from the internet 4 months ago! And nothing. (good in the end, I suppose, i didn't get one)

And then I ordered my airplane ticket from the internet last Thursday cuz I'm trying to go back home next week. Have I heard anything from them? Not a damn thing! Now I'm trying to get the ticket from another place so I sent them a message yesterday. And guess what? You guessed it, I ain't heard NOTHING!

Okay, breathe Nikki, just breath . . .

Got another one,

I hate it when . . .

People on the fast side driving very very slow. Personal pet peeves

People turning without signaling.

Back in the undergrad years, when you need to use computer for a paper, but all the computer are being used by people chatting away. (Really, really hate that. That is why I bought my own)

Being late to work, every stop light decided to go red.

Exact changes (NYC people, you know the deal)

Meter maid

This is too all of us working people. Doing a report for work, then being used by your boss to further his career without giving you any credit (I was going to kill him)

Slow modem

Those damn coffee machine won't give me my change or give me my coffee, again.

And finally . . . NYC Cab Drivers.

Although I don't live in NYC anymore , I was born and raised there. My pet peeve is that I can't stand really friendly cab drivers. What is wrong with me?

I hate when they try to make conversation like I'm some type of tourist. I'm like, "Hey, buddy what the hell is this...the Sally Jesse Raphael Show? Why are you trying to be all up in my business?" I'm saying.... Dang! Just drive! There's places I gotta be....

This thread is too good to stop -- its very therapeutic to know that you can vent (and know that other people have the same peeves)!

Here's mine - I am a receptionist -- which means I pretty much need to keep the phone lines open and running -- even though we have several lines, I can't be tied up forever on each call...so here are some responses I get from people that totally tick me off:

Me "I'm sorry, Jack's on that line, would you like to leave a voicemail for him?"

Caller "I'll just hold"

Now I'm thinking -- I'm sorry, where in my sweet little reply did you hear "Would you like to hold?" -- NOWHERE! I did not ask you if you'd like to hold! Especially not when each employee has a little flashing light telling them that they have a voicemail. Urrgghhh! Also, when I do put you on hold, and after 2 minutes, you ring back in and I tell you the EXACT SAME THING -- do not say again "I'll just hold" -- I did not say one freaking thing about holding! Get the picture!!!

Here's another thing....

ME: "Good Afternoon, Systems Incorporated"
CALLER: "Hi - this is John Doe with XYZ company -- I'm looking at my interval sheet for the quarter and wondering how the systems spread is accounted for over the past quarter. blahblahblah" and they keep talking right over me saying "I'll connect you with support" --- when they know FULL DA^% WELL THAT WHEN THEY PAID FOR THE SUPPORT PACKAGE, THEY WERE TOLD (AND GIVEN WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS) TO ASK FOR THE SUPPORT TEAM! I am the receptionist - if I had a computer degree to where I know what you're talking about, I sure as hell wouldn't be sitting here making pocket change.

And by the way - the freaking "I'll hold" thing just happened again -- GET A GRIP PEOPLE! I did not offer for you to hold for a reason!!!

Okay - that's a little better!

I hate it when...

• Foreign people look at you then talk to each other in their own language.
  
• People on the interstate (Speed Limit 70mph) drive side by side at 55mph.
  
• People won't let me pull out in stop and go traffic - It's just RUDE.
  
• A guy makes a "stupid female" joke and then says "Oh, not you - you're cool."
  
• 18 - Wheelers. Enough said. Or not - why do they get to go 300 mph and I get pulled over going 3 mph over?
  
• When people mispronounce your lastname over and over and over, even after you've corrected them.
  
• When you pass out donating blood. Yea - that was yesterday.
  
• When you are driving along and you see someone in another car picking their nose.
  
• When parking sucks and a motorcycle managed to take up two.
  
• You lose a puzzle piece.
  
• You lose a bet and have to do somethin stupid.
  
• The cable goes out at the best part of the show.
  
• Being called or colling a loved one the wrong name.
  
• Your cat has a hairball on your pillow right before bedtime.
  
• Getting all excited about something and then it sucks.
  
• Getting a tattoo and it's lopsided (not me, a friend).
  
• When the credit card company messed up you bill and you get a bill for over $70,000. (yes, this happened to me, and almost fainted)
  
• When you come home ready to eat <insert favorite food> and find out that your roommate ate the last of it ten minutes ago.
  
• Going to Walmart (aka Money Pit) and forgetting something stupid like paperclips.
  
• No toilet paper in the house.

OK, I think I need therapy.

It's been a long, bad day so now I get to vent!

Don't you hate it when:
- You finally get over the guy you've been crushing on forever (who didn't like you back ). You start dating someone else who is absolutely wonderful. The guy you'd been crushing on forever now decides he wants you and has eyes only for you and will stop at nothing to get you. (this is some wonderful information I found out about today...I am beyond pissed)
- Road blocks. There are three lanes. In all three lanes, there are 3 cars lined up going UNDER the speed limit. Let someone pass you! This is very rude!
- How college students get the rep for being bad drivers when we have 90-year-olds on the road who can't see out of their left eye and who have chronic heart conditions (anyone from South Florida can sympathize with me)
- There's a parking space you've been patiently waiting for (you even have your turn signal on) and some guy who thinks he's a stud goes ahead and pulls his car in front of you and takes the spot from you (this also happened to me today..I hope he enjoys the mud I left on his front windshield)
- This is for anyone who has worked in retail: A customer asks you about an item and you say that you do not have it in stock. They proceed to ask, "Well, do you know if XYZ Store has it in stock?" Yeah, because I know my own inventory plus the inventory every other store in this nation. For those of you who have ever asked this question to a sales associate....shame on you!
Ok, I'm done. I just had to get that off my chest. This was a great topic by the way!

[Allie_XO]

ZTangel, you reminded me of one.

Don't you hate it when traffic is backed up a mile for "contruction" when the only thing there is a bunch of orange cones to block the road and three workers watching the traffic go by and smoking a cig. Ugh!

Something that used to bother me at work (and it still does but oh well...) is when it is hot as all get out and people who get to sit inside all day say things like "How do you like this weather? It's great to get outside in warmth every now and then huh?" I wish I could slap those people. Especially since the company had a policy banning the acceptence of tips. I was a grocery bagger and we had to take them out to the cars for the people. That and when they ask me where something is. How should I know. I put them in bags. Its their job to bring that stuff to me.

Once in every lifetime, you'll know what life is. Oh I need you, you need me, oh my darling, don't you see? The Young Ones. Darling we're The Young Ones. The Young Ones. Shouldn't be afraid! To live. To love. There's a song to be sung. 'Cause we may not be The Young Ones for very long!!!

I am just laughing my ass off here, because I FEEL THE SAME WAY!! I thought I was just a beotch! I did this to a NYC cab driver once when I was home from school. I was picked up at Penn Station and he starts chatting away! He asks me, "So, how old are you?" I go "90!" He says "You look more like 20.." He thought I was SERIOUS!!! I finally just asked him to just drive. Then, last year, I was on my way to the airport and this cabdriver was one of the worst! First, he is 1 hour late, he smells like dirt underarm, he comes upstairs to get my bag (which he didn't want to do) and asks me if he could use my bathroom because he was diabetic! I felt a little bad, but was not going to let a stranger in my house. Instead, on our next stop, my travel companion let him use the bathroom at our office. Then, he asks me what I do, I lie, he asks me something about that field, I told him I lied and COULD YOU JUST DRIVE?? I was not in the mood to chit chat with a man who made me miss my plane!

LMAO! Dirt underarm. That's right up there with "Mad Shakey Crazy" I herd at the chapter meeting tonight. Not sure what it means...

[sigmagrrl]

I LOVE THIS TOPIC! Don't you hate it when:

*customers are ruse to you just because they had a shi**y day

*people chew with their mouths open or schmack their food (and I spelled that right SCHMACK , the food is all juicy and slimy in their mouths, some of it is it the corner of their mouths!!!!UUUGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!)

*people who cannot hold utensils right

*people (especially women...sorry, but it's true!) who order food with no oil, dressing on the side, no butter, blah blah blah: WHY THE HELL DID YOU GO OUT TO DINNER THEN? STAY YOUR ASS HOME AND MAKE IT YOURSELF!!!

*people who swerve in and out of traffic like maniacs and DON'T GET CAUGHT BY THE COPS!

*people who are pretentious cell phone users. By this I mean teens and insecure freaks who use the phone to carry on a conversation about NOTHING INTERESTING, but make sure everyone SEES and HEARS them on a CELL PHONE!! OOOOOO, I'm soooooo NOT impressed!!!

*monkeys are used in commercials (I cannot explain this, I JUST HATE MONKEYS!!!)

*when all the treadmills are taken at the gym

*when the sweaty guy at the gym doesn't wipe his funk off of the machine when he gets up from doing his reps!!!ACK!!!!

*loud groups of punkass kids at the movies

*people who will not get out of your way. I was at the movies the other day and these three girls were standing there eating for their food in the same line as people who were trying to order their food. MOVE YOUR ASS OVER!!

*when your order gets messed up at the take-out window. WHY DIDN'T I CHECK IT BEFORE I LEFT THE DAMN DRIVE-THRU!!!

*"No Fat Chicks " shirts! THE MEN WHO WEAR THEM USUALLY HAVE A BIT OF A WEIGHT PROBLEM THEMSELVES!!!

*people use the word "squirts" to describe diaherrea(sp?)

*when people spit or hack up a lung and spit!! GO TO THE BATHROOM!!!

*when people screen their phone calls ALL THE TIME! I understand once and a while when you are tired and just want to be left alone, but that really makes me mad. It's become a way of being almost mean!

This is a sort of hate it when, but I cannot watch Nature specials where lions, tigers, etc kill gazelle, baby deer, etc! I FEEL NAUSEOUS!

[mccoyred]

Why does that happen EVERY TIME I hit a stretch of I95 in Maryland between Baltimore and Philly? I finally get to the spot where the slowdown happened and it is somebody in a car on the side of the road or some isht like that !
