Mostly Holiday shoppers: People who take a number at the jewelry counter who have no intention of looking at or buying jewelry, expecting that line to be faster, and who get seriously bent out of shape when that line moves no faster IF NOT SLOWER than the other lines because other people actually want to LOOK at JEWELRY at the JEWELRY COUNTER. THEN want to complain about your slow service to your manager… 👿
People who tell you your customer service is bad, then expect you to be all peaches and cream and help them find exactly what it is they’re looking for…and half the time, they don’t even know what they’re looking for…
I’ll stop there…
Can you guess where I work? -_-

I really agree with that! I think I might have another one soon (besides the ones already listed) because I plan on breastfeeding, and I might breastfeed in public sometimes-with a blanket covering it of course), but I am dreading the contact I will have with people who will tell me I am disgusting.
I mean, unless there is a designated spot to do that (like at Babies R Us) then I will do it where I please. If someone comes up to me and tells me to breastfeed in a bathroom-I plan on telling them to go eat in the bathroom.
Plus, I have the Iowa law on my side! 🙂Oh yeah, people telling me horror stories and bad possibilities that could happen to me while I am pregnant. It’s not like I am worried enough. For example, my sister-in-law told me that since this is my first baby, I have a high chance to have a missacariage, and then she preceded to tell me everybody she knows who had one. Yikes! Don’t scare me!
So here’s what you do…
Cut the face off of one of those baby dolls that has the eyes that open when you stand them up. Then when you breast feed, put the “mask” on the back of the baby’s head. That way it looks like you are just cradling your baby 😆eaglefeather831, if they say something to you at the mall, make sure you point out all of the young girls walking around barely dressed. 🙄
another of mine is any sort of phone solicitaion. I tell them I work for the phone company and can have the call traced for harrassment if they do not leave me alone and take me off their list and it’s the truth so I’m not lying

I had to keep a calculator at my register when I was a cashier, in case this happened. I cannot do math that quickly in my head. Especially under the stress of cashiering retail where you have to be quick to please the customer and keep your line flowing. I remember being frustrated when people would ask me how I ever made it out of school without being able to do math mentally under pressure. I graduated with honors! :/
Oh man…I AM TERRIBLE AT MATH!!!! When I cashiered I couldn’t STAND the folks who would be rude because I needed a calculator! Every person has strengths and weaknesses. My worst weakness is math…I’m soooo bad at it….and my husband is a math whiz, buuuut he can’t draw or do art, which is what comes naturally for me. It’s not that I didn’t try to learn math…it just won’t connect for me. 🙄

People were rude to you about using a calculator, too? (See my answer to Nam)
Does anybody else butt in when a customer gives a cashier a hard time for something that’s not their fault? I just can’t resist sometimes…

I do…I used to work at a retail store…and it so made me mad when people called me stupid….because I didn’t automatically know what they wanted….when they gave a vague description of something we didn’t even sell…
one time I was at the store and some old man kept calling the cashier stupid….and well I said something to him about it…..that I can’t really repeat here….. 😈

Oooohhh…that’s a good one because it’s one of my pet peeves as well! Yikes! My daughter will never be allowed to wear barely nothing! I have even seen little 6 year old girls wearing short-short skirts and they were walking with their mothers.

because its just fresh and steaming from just yesterday:
people (usually seniors, nothing gainst em) who never really get out into the world and then decide to make a trip by train at 7 am and then chat with their friend(other seniors) about how cool this was and how much preparations they had made (like cleaning their shoes) and how nice the weather was and what they had had for breakfast and what would be up for lunch and bla bla bla in a very very loud voice wanting to be heard by everyone in the train
oh, whats even worse: people mentioned above discussing about all em futuristic things, like *drumroll* the internet…*whooooaaa!*
aaaannnd: one of above mentioned alone seeking conversation with you in similar style/theme at 7pm after a loooong day of school.
maybe its just the town I live 😉
Hence my MP3 player, not for the music, for the ear plugs and as anti talk-to-me-option…
Brats dolls, they’re dressed like little hookers and we’re selling them to young girls and then we complain when they dress like that??
Incompetent support staff at Comcast.
Last Tuesday I couldn’t get on the internet. Since I don’t know much about how computers work I called Comcast. I told the 1st guy that it had worked fine Sunday but then my ferret Buckbeak got into the office and I was worried he had done something to the modem. So we checked a bunch of stuff. Nothing worked. So he had me reset the modem which disconnected the call. Didn’t work. Called back and talked to a 2nd guy. Went through the same story. Tried a bunch more stuff. He sent me to Microsoft who sent me to Dell.
Talked to a woman at Dell with a very heavy Indian accent (she was very hard to understand) for AN HOUR AND A HALF! She went through everything we had already tried and refused to listen that I had tried all that. Then she want to reset the computer to the factory settings. HECK NO! I’ve had it for over 2 years and I wasn’t wiping it. Plus I figured it wouldn’t work. So she tried more stuff after talking to her supervisor. It was pretty obvious she was just going down a check list. Finally she says it’s the modem and sends me back to Comcast.
I talked to a 3rd guy at Comcast and tell him the whole story. And I mention the light pattern on the modem and he says, I kid you not, “Oh, God.” Excuse me? Then he says “Try pressing the white standby button on the front of the modem.” ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!!! I push the button and I’m back on the internet. NEITHER of the 1st two guys asked about the lights. I’m embarrassed to say I completely lost it on the poor guy. I wasn’t rude to him – he fixed the problem in less than 2 minutes – but I had spent nearly 3 HOURS trying to get this fixed and I had so much to do (a lot of which I didn’t get done) that I just started crying. 😳 He was really sweet. He credited my account one month internet service and when I pointed out that didn’t cover the Dell fee he gave me a second month.
Then when I called customer service an hour later because I was still 👿 she freaked for me. She said that the first question the guys are supposed to ask is “which lights are on on the modem” because she used to do it. So she got the internet supervisor who said the 1st 2 nincompoops were going to get more training and she gave me 6 months of free HBO. So I’m going to go watch Nanny McPhee.
But still. 3 HOURS to push a stupid button.
A major pet peeve.
Rottie: That is cruel, and I agree with Twinsmum. Ant hill. 👿
Cashiers: I had to make change without a calc and no register to tell me what it was. It’s hard, but lucky for me I’m a wiz at basic math. 😀
Emerald: Fail her. She earned her grade. F! 😡
10 Items or Less: Day after Thanksgiving…I let the woman know infront of me (I was with my mother too.) exactly how I felt about her sniping me in the 10 Items or less line with about 25 items. Her boyfriend never said a word, but she did, so did I, and they WERE NOT nice. 😈 (My mom was scared she was waiting for us outside. 😆 )
Telemarketers/Solicitors: Well, I really can understand they get paid to call me. Now, they have to understand, I am alone Monday to a week from the following Thursday. I get bored, and a 13 yr old is only so much mature conversation. So, I have gone to making sure they put in their time to get paid. As soon as I can get in a word, I begin to tell them how my day was and what happened in it. Then maybe I am stressed aobut something, so I tell them that. Heck, maybe I had a great day and want to tell them about the $25 I won on a instant lottery ticket. Who knows? But, they usually don’t call back after being in a big hurry to get off the phone with “The lady who wouldn’t shut up”. 😆 😈 😆
