As you can see, I cannot stand retail. My last day with GameStop is tomorrow! WOOO![/QUOTE]I was thinking about working at GS for a short time (until I get a job), but now I think I'll avoid it. ;) I hope I never work retail in my life, customers are just too annoying.

Oh yeah, there are other annoying things:
-People who are too lazy to put their shopping carts back in a shopping cart return, where they leave it next to your car and the cart bumps into your car.

-People who chew gum and smack their lips.

-People who fart right besides you in public.

-People who through their drink out their car window.

We actually had a somewhat similar thread before (and this is what I said before):
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=159096
So basically, what are your pet peeves, things that annoy you, get on your nerves, and so on?

-Young kids with high voices that try to act all tough, swear constantly, and so on.
-People who kick you out of a room because you beat them.
-People who talk very racists in an online game.
-People who cheat or exploit a bug.
-People who send me a text message on PSN/XBL and I can’t understand a single word they are saying. I want to see messages in decent English.
-People who say they want to play a game online and never show up.

-Those who ride your back bumper very closely even if you’re going 5mph above the speed limit.
-Seeing people talk on the cell phone while driving, not paying any attention.

-Girls who say they like you, but feel you’re only a friend to them (happens to me too much).

-People who leave me a text message, causing me to pay, when they would have been better off just calling me or leaving a voice mail message.
-People farting near me and walking away.
-Telemarketers or strangers calling me asking to take part in some survey (I hate talking to people I don’t know on the telephone).
-People who send me an IM while my away message is up, saying just “Hey”, when my away message clearly says I’m BUSY.
-People who send me an IM while I put my invisible on.
-People who drunk dial me, or people who call me at 2AM.
-People who are outside talking loudly and wake me up at 2AM.
-Loud devices and loud music (I like peace and quiet all the time. Loud electronic devices really bother me).
-People who type in all lower or uppercase letters in their post, such as saying “i” when it’s clearly “I”.
-When people type something like “r u ok”.
-Getting friend requests from pornbots or whatever on MySpace.
-People who try to get me to join some stupid application with them on Facebook.
-Friends who tell me they want to hang out and do something, and the end up not calling me back.
-People who crap on me for the weird stuff I like, such as JRPGs, when my Bulls were having a losing season, etc.
-People who try cutting in line for things.
-People who call me socially retarded in real life, when in reality, I can be sociable.
-When there are no front seats available in a classroom (I must sit in the front row always).
-Friends who want me to do their homework for them.
-People who don't wear deodorant and I can smell terrible BO.
-People who drank Coffee and trying breathing on me.
-People who chew gum and smack their lips near me.
-People who pop their gum (well, too many things with gum bother me).
-People at stores who decide they don't want something, and are too lazy to put it back.
-People who leave their trash outside their apartment, smelling up the hall, and are too lazy to put it back.
-My old suitemate in college who use to shave and leave his hair all over the sink (never cleaned it up). Also, leaving the bathroom a swimming pool after taking a shower (due to not using a towel to wipe his feet).

-I can’t stand seeing a non-alphabetized game collection (I can’t stand to see it).
-I can’t stand seeing people touch the bottom of DVD/CD/Blu-ray discs putting finger prints on them (especially mine).
-Someone putting finger prints on my video game cases.
-Seeing someone leave a public restroom WITHOUT washing their hands.
-People who smoke near me (I absolutely can’t stand it).

I'll think of more.

I've got another: the way my High School has, not once in four years, been able to properly schedule my classes the way I signed up for them. And it's not even a "well, this class is full", because not only am I a Senior (first dibs), but once I call the guidance counselor (every fucking time), I'm always able to get the ones I wanted.
 
[quote name='The Mana Knight']-People who are too lazy to put their shopping carts back in a shopping cart return, where they leave it next to your car and the cart bumps into your car.[/quote]Seriously, people are so freaking lazy. They'll drive around a parking lot or wait for five minutes for someone to pull out of a spot, so they can park close. If you'd just parked where ever, and walked in, you'd be in the store by then. And what are you gonna do in the store anyway but WALK AROUND!??!

I know I'm not the only person to bring carts back tothe cart returns, but I'm one of the only ones who takes the additional five seconds to push the carts into each other. Everytime I put a cart away, there's always a few carts all hanging around at different angles, some sticking out of the cart return waiting for a gust of wind to send it rolling into the middle of the parking lot or some car.

Think the most time it has ever taken me to bring a cart to the cart return, allign all the carts and walk back to the car is maybe 90 seconds. A few extra seconds in the sun is good for you (gives you vitamin d), a few extra steps is healthy for you (exercise) and it's just curtious.
 
Reporters jumping the gun and wondering if this will be the start of another cold war with Russia.

I say bring it back. If the eighties are coming back we need the cold war.

Clamshell or blister packaging, whatever you want to call it.

I'd like to package the inventor inside his own creation. I've cut my fingers at least twice on the stuff. I bought five pairs of scissors just so I'd always have a pair to cut open the fucking stuff.

[quote name='chasemurata'](Hehehe... that's awesome. I gotta work it into a future graphic. :D)[/quote]That was from an episode of The Tick.
The Tick vs Chairface Chippendale. For his birthday, the bad guys were engraving the name of Chairface into the moon. The Tick and company kept interupting and saying something like, "the party's over chairface!" Seeing the name cha_ brought that to mind.
The Tick did NOT annoy me in everyday life.
 
- Conservatives/Republicans/Fundamentalists. People who think Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly are smart.

- Strangers who call me "honey", "darling", "sweetie", etc.

- Strangers who share little anecdotes about their lives with me.

- Strangers I'm waiting in line with who want to complain about it to me.

- People who are really into sports. Particularly if you refer to any sports team as "my team".

- People who are really into their cars. I'm not impressed by your pimped-out Dodge Neon.

- Girls that wear Uggs with tiny little vests and great big sunglasses.

- The culture of American celebrity worship. No, I don't care what Perez Hilton posted today.

- The fact that I can't use the word "fuck" on CAG, but that Cheapy can say "$$$$a" on the CAGcast.

- People at Dunkin' Donuts or Starbucks who fuck up my coffee order. How hard is your job, really?

- People on the street or at the dog park who want to give me advice on how to care for my dogs.

- Strangers who touch me. Or my hair.

- Stupid people who point at my tattoos or piercings and ask if it hurt. Of course it hurt, dumbass.

And finally:

- Any CAG post by TheManaKnight.
 
Having to add someone to my ignore list, which I just now did. ;)

I can also admit I'm annoyed that every single job I look at it my area pays very little and wants tons of experience (when I search jobs daily). It's just annoying IMO.
[quote name='chakan']Clamshell or blister packaging, whatever you want to call it.[/QUOTE]Oh yes, I agree there. I've cut my finger too many times opening that packaging and it's annoying to freaking open. I sometimes wish it never existed.
 
Eustation Tube Disorder. I get fullness in my ears and I haven't been able to have both open for a while now. I just got my right ear open even though it hasn't been for months and now everything is loud. I only really need one ear anyway, and from the research I've done it seems like if you have this you're pretty much boned. Now I don't want to breathe too hard so I can have at least 1 for school.

Close your mouth and plug your nose. Now blow really hard.
 
[quote name='mr ryles']Close your mouth and plug your nose. Now blow really hard.[/quote]
Nah, I finally got one of my ears to work. I've been doing that for a while with no success, and I don't want to lose one trying to get both. What I did was I exhaled from my nose and snored , and that opened my right ear ( but it had been going in and out all day ).
 
[quote name='G33']People that can't park. You're supposed to park between the lines, not on top of them.[/QUOTE]

agree'd. in fact when someone does that, you should be legally allowed to take a chainsaw and cut off the part of their car that isn't inside the lines.

Totally. Or those jobs that are incredibly uncommon and require years of experience.
 
More things!

My slow-as-hell internet.
Displays of confirmation bias or the gambler's fallacy. I see the two of them working together quite often in Settlers of Catan. "I'm gonna block the 3. That's been coming up a lot latel-" *force choke*

I can't believe I worked there for nearly 4 years...how I put up with the sheer number of idiotic customers blows my mind.

Stop eating dairy food - that worked for me.
 
People that just automatically hop on their cell phone the very second they get in the car.......screw it, I basically just hate cell phones in general.
 
Do you mean just direct dairy foods (eggs, milk) or anything with milk, eggs, cheese, etc, in it (pizza, cake)?
 
[quote name='GTzerO']Do you mean just direct dairy foods (eggs, milk) or anything with milk, eggs, cheese, etc, in it (pizza, cake)?[/quote]

Well, speaking for me...

I started with milk - and that made a dramatic improvement. Cheese was another big one for me - I try to avoid pizza because when I eat it my sinuses swell up and I can even get a headache.

I don't go out of my way to avoid stuff made with milk byproduct (and of course once a month I may have to eat a buttered bagel or pizza slice when out with friends - however I religiously avoid straight-up cow milk and very seldomly eat straight-up cheese). Incidentally - I also try to avoid refined sugar as much as possible, so I don't regularly eat deserts beyond simple stuff like fruit.

It took about a week for me to start seeing the improvement (I think it the allergy stayed in my body for a while)

Eggs don't cause me a problem (I'm not sure if they are dairy)

I wasn't as bad off as you - for me it was that I stopped having my sinuses clog up at night, frequent sinus infections, stomach issues, splitting sinus headaches, ringing ears, really my whole life is better. No doc ever told this to me (out of two docs, a nurse practitioner, and an ENT doc - one thought it was simply a temp change thing - I do have sensitive sinuses to temp/pollution, but it seems when dairy is added that's the magic formula for trouble). I read up on cow milk and some ppl just can't handle it's overabundance in the typical American diet.

I figure it's worth a shot for ya - I hope this helps...
 
[quote name='The Mana Knight']Yes, I hate that place. The lines suck and I've seen some really weird people there.[/quote]


You should go to the BMV down here in Greenwood. Short lines and friendly people. I kept looking around for another room with all the people.

Those people are called "women".

Sometimes, if you actually put the controller down and leave your house, you'll see them.

That was uncalled for

(bump).

I live in the basement floor, so I can hear all of the people outside. There was some guys sitting outside 30 or so feet away from my window and it sounded like they were IN my room. Also, when it storms my windows shake .
 
[quote name='Hex']I also hate corporate lingo.

"Our dynamic work environment offers a robust, cooperative effort where our employees- whom we really consider our family- are given the tools to get the job done right. Our 'get it done right' philosophy is integral to our company, and efficiency, cost-effectiveness and a hard worth ethic contributes to our many successes as a workplace."

First off, moronic fucking buzzwords like "robust" and "dynamic" are fucking stupid. Stop trying to sound like some over-paid yuppie who scrounged through a thesaurus to justify his undeserved paycheck. Secondly, the "get it done right philosophy". That's the motto of the company I work for, and it makes my stomach bleed to hear it. What, is there a motherfucking "get it done WRONG philosophy"? Shut the fuck up, you aren't some super company who does everything right, and everyone sees through your shenanigans. I know first hand that we "get it done right" about 60% of the time. By the way, playing solitaire, cruising porn and hitting up titty bars after a nice lunch of Taco Bell do not equal a hard work ethic.

"Let me kick it around and I'll touch base with you next week. Stay classy."

Touch base? Get the fuck out. That wasn't clever in the 1990's.

"Well, you know it is what it is."

No comment. Just :bomb:.

"Thoughts?"

I've seen emails concluded with only this word and it's fucking annoying. Ask for input like a normal human being rather than trying to appear modern and off the cuff. No matter how hard the CFO tries to act like "one of the boys", the fact remains they'll continue to hate him because he gets ten times the money for a tenth of the work.

This thread is strangely cathartic.
[/quote]I hate corp speak, too. But most of what you posted I find legitimate, and not the vacuous but supposedly impressive sounding lexicon that has increasingly corrupted meetings and mission statements over the years.

Your friends are idiots. If you hate girls you're the last person who should be worrying about having a girlfriend.

[/quote]And what the heck is with those "in loving memory of my son Tayler Zachary Smith 1823- 1856" things on the back of car windows? If that helps the driver get through their grief, then I wont say anything. But it strikes me as very strange. Having a sign or sticker on your car is the same to me as wearing a tshirt with a logo. And I really hope I dont start seeing "in loving memory of my son Tayler Zachary Smith 1823- 1856" on tshirts.

"Sir" is perfectly fine with me. "Who ordered the venti non-fat no-foam chai?" is also acceptable. ;)

My issue is primarily with the presumed familiarity that's implied by those names: I'm 34 years old, I'm not some little kid. I'm not your friend, your "buddy", your "honey", your "chief".

I'm a paying customer and we have a business relationship. So give me my goddamn chai so I can get the hell out of here!

The folks are just wanting to be nice, and I have no problem with people being nice.

...on a trip that took me through missouri, I stopped at a Taco Bell. The fella at the register called me "BabyDoll" and "Dollface." I wrote the exit number down, because clearly with personnel that percepetive, that's a Taco Bell that's worth revisting.

I know eggs are the menstrations that come from a hen's ass (being that they don't have two openings down there, just one)

I didn't know if nutritionists classify eggs as dairy (it's thrown around in common parlance as such)

Either way, thanks for the input egghead :D
