Commercials with annoying jingles that get stuck in your head for weeks on end

Well, wasn't going to post, but I got pissed off >.< When "friends" come to me with their problems and it is a retarded reason, and I have worse ones! And they are all "I thought you could come to you for support", I gave support and they didn't like it, so I say "I have some of my own problems too!" And they get all offensive and she says "I will just give up" so I say "Fine, do that if that is what you want" And just....GAH!!!

-When people constantly ask for support and sympathy and pity when they really don't deserve it, and get all pissed off when you tell them they need to be smacked in the head. There's only two people I know of who do it. If you hate your grades so much and your life so much, do something about it PLEASE. Now, there's a difference between endless pleas for attention and those who just want to vent, a little help, want some understanding, or ask for advice. I don't mind the latter. ^^

May I first say that I sympathize with those who work in retail. I've worked there myself and I try harder to be more understanding to others who are in that field.

My pet peeve at the Department of Corrections when I worked there was people coming up to the window and asking if there is a public restroom when the sign saying "No Public Restrooms in this building" is staring them in the face!! It makes me want to scream. Especially since it's posted in the window, in the window beside the door, and on the wall! I made those signs myself even, in big bold letters, with a yellow background! Another time the background was pink or something. I bet they'd still ask even if i put it in big neon lights that flash and move. I'm sorry, it's just how many times can I put that up and have people ignore it? Makes me want to pound my head into the wall every time they asked.

actually I have a lot of pet peeves about that job, but i'm not gonna get too much more into it.

It drives me nuts when people complain about things, but are too lazy to try to do something about it. If you don't like how things are people, then why don't you do something about it or at least make a few suggestions. no one really wants to hear you sit around and talk their ear off with nothing but complains week after week. (Sorry, this pet peeve is dedicated to the people in my tuesday night class who complain how boring our activity nights on thursday are)

Yes, thank you.

And as for the sign...god, I know how you feel. We have one entrance and one exit. There's directly across from eachother and at opposite ends of the store. They cannot go out the entrance because it's an automated door and only opens one way. People ALWAYS park near the entrance,a nd so therefore, they want to go out that way. We have this big green sign that says "EXIT IS AT OTHER END OF STORE", and it seems invisible to them. Then, when you point it out, they get all irritated. "Well, I want to go out this way." "You can't. The door won't open." "Well, I parked over here." "....Ma'am, the door still won't open." Then, they flip out, stalk over to the exit, and leave. Now here's the really stupid part: They always want to go out the entrance because it's "closer", but in reality, the distance from the registers and to the entrance is the same as the distance between the exit and their car.
Dumbasses.

- When people are condescending to me, thinking that I'm young and stupid, just because I haven't lived as long as they have. They assume that my life is without problems and that I'm some sort of delinquent.
I've lived through my fair share of crap and I don't want anyone telling me that the only problem I have is finding the right pair of shoes! (Some woman actually said that to me once, and then she got all indignant when I told her to piss off.) >_<*

- When I'm watching a television show at one volume level and then the commercials come on and they are about fifty percent louder. That is so [bleep]ing annoying!

- When I'm in a chat room and everyone starts going: "ASL ASL ASL!!!!1 R U hot?! Wanna cyber?!?!1"
*sigh* I no longer hold out hope for the majority of humanity.

This happened tonight, and it sucked. We were watching 28 days later and the scense where they are walking down broken escalators, it reminded me of the joke "You will never see an escalator with a sign 'Temporarily Out of Order'. It'll say 'Temporarily Stairs'" And I like that joke. So at middle, I had to leave, and I said it, and one of my friends was all "You didn't make that up, that was dumb" And I was hurt! I didn't say I made it up! I would prefer silence and laugh to myself out loud than what she said. So my complaint: Annoyed when people give rude comments! I bet it is because of my Y chromosome that she hates me and does it! I'm annoyed by my Y chromosomes too!

Ah, the annoying friend "pet peeve"...

I don't think I have posted this one. But it's quite the same as one that was posted.

I'll put this as dialogue so it's not too long.

*forgets self and helps the friend in a terrible situation and has a very low self-esteem*

- You know you're not a bad person, you know you have qualities...
- But no one is ever going to like me...
- Yes, someone is going to be, BUT you have to believe in it...

*endless friendly comfort talk, forgetting about myself*

------------------------------

*Some time later*

¤She's been with me at my boyfriend's apartment all weekend. Friday night, he tells me to go to the kitchen, and tells her something. I ask what, I'm not told. Saturday, I come back from work not saying a word, asking for it again. Nothing. Saturday night, they go and have a talk in the kitchen and conclude that my boyfriend and I have a communication problem. Sunday night, after she's gone and we're done with our homework, he tells me he needs to see his psychologist cause there's nothing right, though it's not because of me¤

¤Sad face at school on Monday morning¤

- But it's NOT the time for such a sad face!!!

*smacks girl in my mind*

- You have such a greaaaaaaaaaaaaat life *yeah, father's alcoholic, I might not pass my degree cause I didn't find a damn two weeks placement, I can't lose weight when I have 40 kilos to lose...* ...
- I so don't.

*endless stupid babble*

Now, the MOST annoying passage. She reached her peak... *wait, can I use that word for that ?*

*says she's going to drink and smoke -not only cigarettes- to forget her sad life*

- You can't choose to drink and smoke when I tell you it's not good for you.
- But I have enough of this crap. No one likes me, I have enough.
- You can't say that just cause you got no boyfriend.
- I've been betrayed twice.
- And WHAT ? Don't you have friends ? Don't you have ME ? Am I such a nothing that you'll drink, smoke, forgetting who I am ?
- You're telling me to choose between you and drinking ?
- YEAH. I am.

>.< I so hated that part... I've been helping her all along, made things worse with my boyfriend this weekend, and she'd just get rid of that in a second... and she wouldn't imagine that I'd go just because she'd be wasting things.

DUH. Am I stupid to react like that ?

Oh man, that must've been hard...

I honor your efforts to help this person and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers....

O/T :

Well, thanks. The worse thing is that I've been lucky to find friends everywhere, but sometimes, the "best" ones come out to be the "worst" and I love to help, but I can't forget myself, especially when I'm never home cause I have my boyfriend, so I don't see my sisters and stuff....

end of O/T

OMG!! I can't believe there's a thread to bitch and I didn't see it ^_^. Right now I have two things to say, one humorous and one serious.

1) Plastic wrap on CDs. Now I can understand that they're there to prevent people from stealing the CDs, but does it have to be that tight?! Then, when you get it off, there's a sticker on the top of the CD that's even harder to get off

Of course, because if a thief gets through the plastic, they're obviously going to stop once they can't get the sticker off.

2) Ignorance towards people of German decent. I'm German, my last name is German. It really pisses me off when people accuse me off being a nazi. The other day, my S.S. teacher was asking stuff like "Who here's Irish? "Who here's Spanish?" He wanted to see how many people of different races were in his room (sort of a people all over the world in one room kind of thing). He asks "Who's German", I stick up my hand as do two other people, and five pricks say at once "NAZI". -_- considering my ancestors came to Canada in the 1890s and fought for Canada in the two World Wars, I don't think were Nazis.

Now, we have a trip to a Holocaust centre and only thirty people out of sixty can go. I chose not to go for personal reasons I won't say as not to offend, and now suddenly I'm a neo-nazi. Sometimes I just hate dealing with people who need to be beaten repeatedly.

Oh, yeah, but worse is that they'll put a cigarette-packet-style drawstring on the case, but no dangly bit to get a grip on! What is the point?!

Umm. . . you might not have wanted to use the initials there.

Now, having read through the early parts of this thread (because I know that one of the things people get annoyed at is people who don't read all the posts in a thread) I thought about some of my own on-line gripes, and it's odd, but I get more annoyed at picayune rules and overbearing know-it-alls than I do with people who ignore the rules. Examples: people who say that you shouldn't have any images on the front page of a site more than 300k, on the grounds that it's not fair to dial-up users. Well, what if I want to make my site for high-speed only? Or people who say you should never use profanity or abusive language. There are people who need to be verbally pan-pan slapped.

What I'm saying is, as I've said before, that there are times and places when strict enforcement of a code of rules is necessary and beneficial, but there are also times when unadulterated license of speech and action is desired. Which is probably a controversial position. Oh, well, it's probably a good thing that I'm not in charge of the world.

"You think YOU had a bad day?"

Why yes, yes I do. What, just because yours was worse automatically makes mine a good day? I feel bad for you, sure, but that doesn't mean that my losing tons of important e-mails or finding out I have to call 10-odd vendors for new quotes is something to sneeze at...

...LMAO at first I thought you were yelling at someone here. I was liek "who the hell is he talking to?", and then I realize THAT was your annoying thing.

And I agree. It's almost like they're completely dismissing the fact that your day was bad.

peachvampiress · Post by **peachvampiress** » Sun May 02, 2004 10:32 pm

Took the words right out of my mouth Tiff, I was just about to ask him who he's was yelling at. (It's me isn't Starscream T_T you've always had it out for me ^_^).

That's another point I wanted to bring up but forgot. I used to be friends with this girl who would belittle everyone elses problems, but then want our pity when she was upset. I think that if a person can deal with their problems, they don't need as much sympathy as someone who's trying to kill themselves over their problems

Person 1:"This is the worst day ever. My arm got ripped out of it's socket and I lost both my legs."

Person 2:"You think YOU had a bad day? My arm got ripped out of it's socket, I lost both legs AND I have cramps! You should just shut up and pity me blah blah blah".

Person 3:"I got decapited, but you don't hear me bitching. I'm dealing with it just fine. Now I don't have to worry about blemishes

Having read through this thread andd heard all the annoyances cashiers have, I'd like to say OH MY YES, you are all so right. Now, here's mine...

I work in a charity shop. I only work on the cash register at weekends and when others are on breaks, but for some reason I get all the fools. We get clothes in from one of the big chain stores, which would cost you quite a bit if you bought them direct, but the reason we get them in is because they're damaged (they have a button missing, or a miniscule hole, or need a seam sewed - we don't put the really damaged ones on the shop floor).

And people come up and ask me for a damn discount. On a shirt that costs £3.50 and a new button. IN A CHARITY SHOP. NO. YOU MAY NOT HAVE A DISCOUNT, TIGHTWAD. ~ahem~

I'm not allowed to give them - nobody is - but when I tell them this, they demand to see the manager. Which was fun when the manager was on holiday last year:

Woman: Can I have a discount on this? It's damanged.
Me: Yes, it's in stock here because it's damaged.
Woman. But... look. ~indicates problem~
Me: Yes, I know...
Woman: So why can't I have a discount?
Me: I'm not allowed to give discounts. ~feel like yelling "what part of charity don't you understand?"~
Woman ~angry~: Can I speak to the manager please?
Me: I'm sorry, she's on holiday at the moment.
Woman: What? Look, can I have a discount?
Me: Um... If you'd like to come back on Monday when the manager'll be back...
Woman: BUT I WANT TO SEE HER NOW!
Me: Um...
Woman: I want to see the manager!
Me: Come back on Monday and we'll see what we can do for you. I can't do anything for you at the moment, I'm afraid that's the price...
~Woman storms out~

And you can't answer back to these asshats, can you? Sheesh.

Post by **Tiff** » Mon May 03, 2004 12:08 pm

Kez-chan: -__- wow. Asshats indeed. What kind of an idiot comes into a charity store and then asks for a lower price?! Morons...
It's the same where I work, only it's with candy...we have a section with the retail prices, where the candy is freshest, and then the rest of the store is discounted candy from 36%-80% off...and sometimes it's got a really good sell by date, and sometimes it doesnt..but chocolate stays good for over a year, folks. I've eaten chocolate from 2001, and it's utterly harmless and still tastes great. Try explaining this to people:

(me) Hello, welcome to Russell Stover!
(disgusting old lady who has eaten too many samples) This candy is old.
(me)...Yes, that's why it's 1.99 marked down from 8.99. It has a shelf life of a year, though, ma'am, and the date says October 2003.
(dolwhetms) ..But it's old. It'll turn white.
(me) *deep breath* Ma'am, candy turns white becuase of temperature, not becuase it's old. The fat seperates from the oil, and rises to the top. It's harmless. (this is true.)
(dolwhetms) I want it for cheaper. This is old.
(me) Ma'am, we cannot mark it down any cheaper.
(dolwhetms) what about a senior's citizens discount?
(me) we don't have that.
(dolwhetms) But i'm over 60.
(me) ...we still don't have it.
(dolwhetms) WELL I REFUSE TO SERVE THIS AT MY BRIDGE CLUB.
(me) ....Okay. Don't.
(dolwhetms) WELL I NEVER! *STORMS OUT*

Ah yes, the good old "can I have this cheaper because I am a child/an OAP/it's my birthday/whateverthehell" line. Some woman yelled at me and my colleague last week because we wouldn't give her a discount on a jacket since she was "living on a pension" and she then stormed out. Um, but it isn't my fault ^^;

I think what annoys me the most is all the stupid little kids at my middle school that talk with dumb fake ghetto accents (I agree with Anthy on this) and swear like drunken sailors. Yes, I swear on occasion, but I'm not nearly as persistent nor tasteless, and I do it to truly express myself, not act cool and fit in. Cuss-words shouldn't be used at all, but nevertheless...
