Jewels 0 #1 October 1, 2007 Today has been a little trying, anyway, so I'm more easily irked, I suppose, than on a normal day. But still, how hard is it to line up pages neatly before stapling them so they stack well??? I have a pile of contracts on my desk and they are stapled together somewhat randomly. I am taking the time out to pull out the old staples and re-do them because it's making me crazy. (Oh, and now I'm taking the time to vent about it to you! I believe this officially qualifies me for the "high maintenance" thread.) So, what's bugging you today?TPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 861 #2 October 1, 2007 stapling unit on copier????my recent pet peeve...those ass holes that park in the fire lane at the grocery store! especially so the rest of us have to walk around their car!!! lazy, self centered dumb asses... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jewels 0 #3 October 1, 2007 I completely understand that. You'd think the distance to an actual parking place was overwhelming. (Remember, I'm grumpy today. I will complain about anything! ) TPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simplyputsi 0 #4 October 1, 2007 I would give the papers back to whoever did them and tell them it is not good enough. Don't let people half ass things and get away with it. Call them out.

Jewels 0 #5 October 1, 2007 LOL--Thanks for feeding my pet peeve. It wouldn't be so bad, but there are a couple of hundred documents. They're not *ALL* terrible; it's just enough that it started getting to me. My guess is that this was a rush job. If the appropriate person was here today, I actually might give it back. At the moment, it seems easier just to fix it since she's out sick today. C'mon, SURELY you can come up with SOMETHING. TPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyhawke 0 #6 October 1, 2007 OMG the idot drivers who drive SLOW in the FAST lane or the ones who HOLD BACK traffic because they're nimrods! I can not tolerate inconsiderate rude drivers!

skybytch 273 #7 October 1, 2007 This is actually yesterday's peeve. People who won't STFU when somebody else is talking. Especially when it's someone we're supposed to be listening to/learning from. Some of us go to school so we can learn something... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jewels 0 #10 October 1, 2007 Painting?? And yes, pretty much anybody with a set of car keys is eligible for the pet peeve list! GET OUT OF THE WAY, PEOPLE! (That accomplished nothing, but I feel better.)TPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jewels 0 #11 October 1, 2007 ROFL! I never texted anybody until I started hanging out with the skydiving crowd. They are apparently much cooler than I am, in the texting sense. Did you get my non-text to your non-reply?TPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos340 1 #12 October 1, 2007 Quote people that text me actually expecting a reply! I finally found a way to stop that. I cant text for shit (Hate trying to type on a number pad), but I can use my picture phone easy enough. Most people that text me get a Nutty response.

davedlg 0 #13 October 1, 2007 Driving me nuts today? Having to change my address with every corporation I am associated with. I am getting really sick of the new and "improved" voice recognition software all these companies are using. It usually goes something like this: computer: How can I help you today? me: address change computer: okay, claim status computer: there are no open claims at this time, Goodbye. (I call back) computer: How can I help you today? me: change my address computer: okay, pay my bill computer: please enter your credit card number... I hate these things.

1969912 0 #17 October 1, 2007 I'm trying to convince a 90 year old CA Registered Nuclear Engineer (he worked on the USS Savannah) ex-coworker that it might not be a good technical idea to use 3' x 3' 45 WATT PV panels from Harbor Freight mounted on his yet-to-converterted-to-electric car as a way to allow the sun to charge the batteries during an 8 hour workday. 20 miles each way is what he needs. Latest idea is a carbon fiber scissor arrangement as used by NASA to extend panels on a satellite. And yea, that first sentence sucked a bit.

Who knew that moving 4 miles could be such a pain in the butt? The amount of time and effort this has taken has been ridiculous. Next time, I'm hiring professionals.

JENNR8R 0 #21 October 1, 2007 Oh, I'm right there with ya on the misaligned paperwork. I restaple too. How about people who won't throw away the staples from the staple remover at the copy machine? All of those used staples falling into the copier and causing a copier repair call. The trash can is one foot away!!! But the biggest one today are the people who pay their bill through their bank's billpay service and won't make a change when needed. Our company name changed six months ago. We sent out an announcement. The invoices have how we would like the checks made payable, but 99 percent of people using Billpay won't change it!

Jewels 0 #22 October 1, 2007 ABSOLUTELY! If you had the patience for it, you could start your own business, changing addresses for all the people who want to commit assault and battery when they try to do it themselves. Then again, you'd have to have good mental health coverage in your insurance package! Is this a home or an office move?TPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davedlg 0 #24 October 1, 2007 It's a home move. And my zip code isn't even changing. I hate the realization of how much stuff I have accumulated. I used to move 2 times a year during college and it took only an afternoon and a single truck load. This time it took all my free time for two weeks (and counting) and multiple truck and trailer loads back and forth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
