personal pet peeves

Cashiers who totally ignore you. I worked a register for years, no matter how I felt, I was always corteous, that customer is the reason you are paid. On the flip side? Cashiers who are to chatty and question your purchases

Not anymore. I just read the first comment where someone always tells people what the story is.
 
Cashiers who ask, "Did you find everything you needed?" I know, they're told to ask that as if it's good customer service, but no. By the time I have reached the check-out, I have given up, and I don't want to waste for time and hold up the line while Skippy goes to search for it. If it were critical, I would have hunted down an employee and asked before I went to check out.

Double drive-thrus... then ask me at the window which order is mine.

Other drivers. ALL other drivers.

Large crowds.

More to come, I'm sure...

I don't care for chatty cashiers, but I especially hate the ones who feel the need to tell me how much they want to be somewhere else. Oh, gee, I'm sorry my patronage of your store and job is inconveniencing you.

That is my concern two. My concern one is the difference between you're and your.

True. I was in dollar general the other day, one register open and like 9 people in line with like 3 employees milling about the store, when people predictably asked for another cashier, register guy gets on the phone and in a sulky voice says " can you send another cashier up, people are complaining" ? I was like OMG! How dare we expect decent service.
 
I have several (many?) pet peeves. Slow guy in the fast lane used to top the list. But, then I got older and found that those with this habit no longer bothered me nearly as much since I rarely now drive hurriedly.

New pet peeve: Tinted windows. I hate when a vehicle without clear view of the driver approaches an intersection as I pass through on my bike. I never can tell if they are looking at me or not.
 
1. People who take selfies.

2. People who walk two or three abreast on a sidewalk or corridor and move so slowly they force you to slow down and you cant walk around them.

3. People who hold up the elevator because they still want to talk to someone in the corridor.

4. People who ask you if the elevator is going up or down when they can just easily see where the arrow is pointing.

5. People who talk on their mobile phones during a movie.

6. Moronic drivers.

#3 reminded me of one: people gabbing with the checkout clerk at the store while there is a growing line behind them.
 
Couples that call each other babe, constantly.

Dogs that lay next to me and fart.

Strangers that tell me their life story.

Social media.

"How's it goin'?"

Nobody's really interested. What's funny to me is when the response is, "How's it goin'?"... and neither answers the other one. :lol:

Anyway, this was many years ago, but I was in a mood, and someone asked me that, so... I told them. In great detail. The "OMG, I really don't care. :shock:" look in their eyes was priceless.

I wasn't blaming you or anything and I know those were examples, but you couldn't know how the stories turn out if you didn't click on them and read them. I just don't care. I don't fall for click bait. It just makes life easier.

I've got an elderly cat that you'd love then. He constantly wants to be in your lap and then he just lets go.

Ok so now I have a peeve (it ain't a pet but ever since I fed it, it don't wanna leave)

Bitchy never satisfied guests (Target has guests not customers). Whine when there is no one there to help them find their cheap Chinese crap, whine about how it's cheaper some blah blah blah place, and think because a team member takes a few seconds out of a VERY busy work shift to try and make crappy guests feel a bit better the 'poor' guest feels 'jumped'...

Now many 'guests' are so clueless about retail but always are quite willing to comment on what they know NO THING about. ANY business can have more worker bees than guests at certain times, I kinda figured anyone with PTSD would appreciate that, but some are never happy unless they can whine.

If you don't like being jumped by 'bored' workers, shop at Dollar General. If you don't like crowds (why in THE HAIL would you go on paydays????) shop at oh dark 30 when your PTSD is more comfortable...

Adapt and overcome was what we grunts said about dealing with the culture shock of 'coming home'... whine and complain was for REMFs...

Oh I feel soooooo much better, guest feeding and caring for a peeve isn't so bad.... :peace

You hsve not been to the target where I live, on many days I can could the customers in the store on one hand, and with way more employees than customers who do the ninja sneak you need assistance crap.

I seriously do not know how they stay open, maybe corporate keeps it open, maybe there is volume there at times I don't go, most of the time it is empty, except employees.
 
people who don't clean off their table at non-table-service eateries like Pret a Manger, who expect someone else to clean up their mess. Entitlement types.
 
I'm reminded of another one right this moment. When someone says "I'll be there in 5 minutes," but you're still waiting for them 20 minutes later.
