I am sure you have encountered/dealt with people who really live in an alternative financial reality.  NOTHING is ever their fault - always someone else's fault.


have you been talking to my sister, ioba??  Smiley Very Happy

Ok, I have many but this one many people think I am kinda weird about: Waiters or waitresses that give me pharmacy pen to sign the credit card slip with.

Buy your own. You aren't a doctor and I do not need to use a  Viagra, Valtrex, Lunesta or whatever cheap pen you conned off someone.

Sorry it annoys me, I understand its irrational, but you can buy a few nice pens for under $6.00. If you are that worried they will be stolen maybe you should be a better server and get back to the customer faster.

 

I also get angry when they give me a chewed bic one to use. I tip very well (I usually start at 20%), you are looking at 10% if either of these two events take place.


Along these same lines, I find people who steal pens from banks, waitresses, counters, etc. very annoying.  I'm not talking about absent-mindedly walking off with the pen.  I know people who pocket them intentionally.  I'm reminded of these idiots everytime I have to awkwardly sign something with a cheap pen that is tied down (sometimes with steel cabling).

People who don't use their signal, because they know they are blatantly cutting you off, but then flash it one time once they are 90% into the lane, as if to say, "look, I used my signal.  Proud of me?"

Ha.  Last week at Target someone took our half-full cart while we were wading through the masses of diapers trying to find the right kind.  I was beyond annoyed especially since there was a small cabinet we had picked up for the bathroom that was the last one they had in the store.  Finally, after searching around for a bit, I found our stuff piled up on the floor in another aisle, so at least we got the cabinet.  I don't know that people stealing full carts happens often enough to qualify as a pet peeve, but feels good to vent.
