Things That Make Sunbaneglasses Angry

Post by Sunbaneglasses »

1. People who don't call me back

2. People who don't do what they say they are going to do.

3. Logistical nightmares.

4. People who interrupt me.

5. Being put on hold.

6. Needy people.

7. People that ask stupid questions.

8. Cheap people, hagglers.

9. Dramatic people.

10. Your basic everyday liar.

11. Thieves.

12. People that think they own me because they spent $12,000 with me last month.

13. Did I mention A'HOLES?


In other words I have had a bad week at work. I would rather clean out septic tanks by hand than deal with these building contractors, re modelers, masons, roofers, plumbers, handy men, lumber companies, building supply wholesalers, millworks companies etc, etc, f'ing etc one more day!

Thanks for letting me vent. What pisses you off?

Some of my dumb-ass clients make me angry. Or at least annoyed.

Awareness of how much people hate these failings worked wonders for me in my various customer-focused jobs. It's remarkable how little people mind that it's taking time and effort to sort out their problem if you just say "I'll call you back before four and update you on the situation" and then do it, even if you haven't managed to fix anything yet. They love you for simply calling them back when you said you would and telling them you haven't managed to sort the problem out yet. In my experience, people will forgive you many things as long as you bother to keep them informed. It's really simple and really easy, but so few staff (of anywhere) do it.

How is this thread different from the Pet Peeves thread? ;)

The difference is that this is stuff that makes SBG angry/peeved.

And I think we can narrow his list down to "people." And I'm with you on that!

People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully

So we're different colours
And we're different creeds
And different people
Have different needs
It's obvious you hate me
Though I've done nothing wrong
I've never even met you
So what could I have done
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
Help me understand
Help me understand

Now you're punching
And you're kicking
And you're shouting at me
And I'm relying on your common decency
So far it hasn't surfaced
But I'm sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel
From your head to your fist (head to your fists)
I can't understand what makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully

I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
I cant understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
I can't understand (people are people)
What makes a man (why should it be)
Hate another man
Help me understand...

Identity thieves.

I'm still severely pissed off at the guy in Tennessee who stole my savings account number and went on a $500 shopping spree for printer cartridges. A) It took forever to get my money back and B) who the heck buys $500 worth of printer cartridges??? At least buy something fancy! Shoot.
