I cannot tolerate poor customer service or bad advice. I had a problem with my home phone so I called Verizon on my cell phone to report the issue and request service. The annoying female robotic voice at Verizon took me through the maze and finally asked, ..."are you calling from the phone that is not working?.." Really?
Just yesterday, I had a problem with Outlook email and could not send or receive anything. I called Microsoft and registered for service. Microsoft send a confirming email to my Outlook account and would not budge until I responded. I was able to get a call into Microsoft and asked, if my email is not working, how can I receive your email and respond. No response.
Finally, I just returned from ten days on vacation in Florida. I called my credit card companies in advance and advised them of my travel plans. Twice in one day, my credit card would not work until I called the mothership and unlocked that card. I was advised that this was for my own good. I do not believe them.
Anyone else have some pet peeves? Thanks for reading this. All the best...
Gil

Driving to work is a stressful time for me. Most of my route is two lanes, no passing. The school busses are bad enough, but at least they have a reason. One of my pet peeves is those people who dawdle along 10-15 mph below the speed limit. Maybe they have no place to go and all day to get there but some of us are trying to get to work or make an appointment. Another pet peeve is the failure to use turn signals. After you've stopped in the middle of the road for no apparent reason I really don't care which way you've decided to turn.

Children with bad manner and uncaring parents. AAARGH!!!
The parents brought a tribe of brats into my store, the brats pull down a stack of displays,
damaging quite a bit of stuff and all the parents do is blaming us for not having them kid safe.
Bastards!

Not in any order of precedence...
Inconsiderate people with a "me me me" attitude. Inconsiderate drivers....GRRRRR. Teenagers that have no respect for authority or older people. Drugs and drug addicts - immediate death penalty. Politicians who think they are above the law. Greenies and ANTIs...especially militant one's who believe they have the right to dictate what should and shouldn't be and be. Political Correctness garbage and those that tout it. Shop assistants who are there for the pay and not the Company. People who take advantage of others, especially the young. Pedophiles and "kiddy fiddlers". and so on and so on and so on.....

There are many many many thing that &i$$ me off. and most of it is because of the way our society is today. "Everything is about me me me!!!" People are so sefl absorbed and inconsiderate that they cannot see how their decisions affect the others around them. And I am very allergic to stupid people!
