Manic Monday- Pet Peeves
| Mon, 11-24-2003 - 3:25pm |
Ok, well I'm at the office for our marathon week- only 2 days of work with so many patients my head is spinning. It's really feast or famine around here!
I was feeling like discussing Pet Peeves today- Do you have any pet peeves? If so, please share them so we can all vent today.
My #1 pet peeve for today- a ringing phone- my phone has been ringing off the hook and I've been getting a bunch of hang ups!
#2- Salesmen! I can't stand salesman or solicitors who come to my door and try to sell me stuff. Plus they are rude when I say no thanks- when I have people in the waiting room!
What's up with you?

We tend to get someone trying to fax our phone number, no hangups as yet. And I have the urge to be rude when telemarketers won't let me go right away. I just don't want to take the time to hear someone rambling away on a subject that doesn't interest me... I suppose if I knew them, it would a lot different and I'd be kinder... (Naughty me.)
I can't think of any pet peeves outside of the workplace, which I'm trying to forget about till my day shift tomorrow. ;)
Hoping the rest of your week isn't so crazy, Stacey!

#1 People who drive on the freeway in the left lane with their left blinker on. I want to scream at them TURN. I know there is only the K-rail (are the concret dividers) there, but move or turn off the blinker.
#2. Stupid commertials, like buy from us and we will save you 50%. Well I can save 100% buy putting it in the bank.
Thanks I needed this.
-I don't like sales calls either. I ususally say very sweetly "Thank you, I'm not interested" and hang up. I don't feel bad about it, I know people who are telemarketers and they really appreciate this approach if you are not going to buy (they are required to keep trying if you stay on the phone).
-That mobile phone commercial where the guy says "Can you hear me now?". I want to tell him..."You only say that when you CAN'T hear someone!" He should be saying, "Can you still hear me?"
-That it's very challenging to find shoes. I have wide feet and it takes some patience to find cute shoes that fit!
That all folks!

Glad that I could be of help! Hope you don't have to see any silly commercials today- or bad drivers!
Have a great day!
