The Official 'Im Annoyed' Thread

Im pissed off today

First of all, I noticed that my car's Warrent of Fitness ran out yesterday, and they did not send me a letter to remind me - so Im driving without insurance. Secondly, both my full time staff called in sick - and hour after they were supposed to be here, leaving me to return hundreds of ex-chart CDs, and serve customers and do everything else by myself, and that throws my whole day out of whack

Sorry, I had to vent

OMG!! Michael..I'm not even kidding when I say I've been kicking around starting an "I'm pissed off today" Thread too!

I've been in the most foul of moods today.

Sorry about the insurance and coworkers...that sucks ass. Any penalties for having a gap in insurance..or will it fine if you're not caught?

Why am I pissed off. The broken glasses/no elliptical is one reason.

The other? I was jolted awake way early by my upstairs asshole neighbors who do laundry EVERY day. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. No kids, they're an older married couple, for the life of me I can't figure out why they would need to do laundry EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

Why does this bother me? Because they do it between 6-7am and are right above me - I hear the damn washer....

BUT today? They had an unbalanced load, and the washers we have don't stop when that happens, they just raise bloody hell.

I woke up thinking we were being bombed!!! It was awful, and went on and on and on because she put the damn laundry on and left.

Ok..whatever. Then the gym was crowded (which NEVER happens) and someone broke one of the weight machines last night..one I Needed today.

Then I went to get a perscription filled...all their computers were down

I should have stayed home...because I've been one angry bitch all day.

/rant.

.wow. That felt good.

any kind of sales/customer service sucks so bad. it's very tiring. people who've never worked those kinds of positions don't understand how hard those jobs are. they suck.

Its hard, and we get payed **** for what we have to put up with. Last week a drunk customer attacked me in store, and got all up in my face - I thought he was going to kill me. I went home that night and cried my eyes out...

For sure. I worked directory assistance for Verizon and Nextel a few years ago, and I was never treated so badly. Some guy told me to "fukcing die" when I couldn't find some stripper partyline for him, and I got a mouthful from all the drunks trying to call a taxi place.

Retail/customer service is hell. Carrie and Michael, keep your heads up!

And I thought my night was bad.

I closed the store at 11 pm, as I always do. Shut down the register, shut down the computer and was just about to make our monthly back-up when there is someone banging on the door. Usually I don't open the door anymore after 11, but he wouldn't stop it. So, I open the door and ask him what the heck his problem is. He says it's his birthday and he has a lot of friends at home and he NEEDS to rent a movie. He made it sound like it was of international importance, as if human kind would become extinct due to nuclear bombs if he didn't get a movie. So I go, dude, I already closed everything, the lights are even out, I can't help you. He keeps going on and on and on, until I finally decide to just shut the door. He puts his foot in between. And then he starts screaming at me. He happened to be Turkish, and he was accusing me of not helping him because of that.

That pissed me off. But I couldn't close the door because his damn foot was still blocking it. Then his friends get out of the car. I was starting to get really nervous at this point. They started saying the same things he was, and they got louder and louder by the minute. Just as one of his friends started pushing against the door to open it further a guy walked by and saw what was going on and got involved, threatening to call the police if they didn't move away. He already had his cellphone in his hand and I guess that was enough to scare them away. I don't think I want to know what might have happened if he hadn't shown up.

So yeah, we all have bad days at work now and then.

^jesus. that's crazy.

that's one of the reasons i hate being alone in the store after we close. and i never, ever open the door after we close because half the people walking by and slamming on the door are crazy and drunk.

goldustsongbird · #15 02-28-2007, 06:19 PM

^ Stories like that scare the **** out of me. I'm glad you're both okay!
