Things that annoy you that probably shouldn't
- Thread starter Glenn's Take
- Start date
All the younger males with their nasty little 7 day growth beards. Take a shave jerkweeds!
Driving in the right lane and passing in the left lane solves the problem for everyone.
-speed(or lack of) doesn't kill. speed differential kills...its not going with the flow of traffic...too fast or too slow is a problem.
Roman numerals
people that use pronouns on an email signature
same thing with initials for every academic degree they have on a bio
people that wear a mask outdoors to walk their dog
people that stick signs in their yard (full of weeds) to let you know that they do not use fertilizer or weed killer, their yard is environmentally friendly

I don’t like when people write emails without greeting and ending salutations
It should be a law that email signatures be limited to 5 lines. Inspirational quotes should get the sender the death penalty.
In terms of SHOULDNT bother me..but does:
- Talking on the phone in general. Unless I make the call for information purposes, I’m not wanting to talk.
- TEAMS (or Zoom), when someone places a call to you without first sending a quick msg asking if now was an OK time.
- Absentee landlords. When you lose great neighbors across the street, and they sell to some property company in Calitucky or someplace. Next thing you know the yard , formerly manicured by the previous live-in owner, looks like Sanford and Son Salvage (est. 1939). I guess this doesn’t happen in your high-falutin nhoods.
- Lexington Kentucky television production quality.
People who don't understand their car's size and placement. Can you move up to let someone in? Do it. Do you need to cram into a tight spot making it difficult for the other car(s), just to park a tiny bit closer? Dont.
Today's example: I was picking up groceries in a single-lane line. The lady in front of me happened to get her groceries right as I did, were both ready to leave, and I had 2 cars behind me. She didn't care to look and decided to play on her phone for nearly 3 min, while we were stuck behind her. I figured she was waiting for something else.. but she pulled away when SHE was ready.. I probably shouldn't have been as pissed as I was lol.

How formal are these greetings and salutations? I find that format a little impersonal if I'm sending something to somebody I regularly work with. If we were co-workers it'd look something like this:
Joey, blah blah blah. Question? blah blah. Question? Thanks!
I'll do the whole formal approach with people outside of the organization, but otherwise I just see email as collaborative conversation.

When people at work IM me with a hello/hey there/whatever and wait for me to acknowledge them before typing their question, just prefer you get to the point immediately. This might fall under the should annoy be category though.
Salutation is too far, really I’m just looking to be “addressed” : “Joey,” ... “Thanks.” It’s a quick way to get the context of who the email is a addressed to who is CC’ed etc.
I don’t like when email is treated like chat. Either send a chat or pick up the phone.
Small venue musical theater and the lady up front is yelling what songs the musician needs to sing.
Hammers have other uses other than just for knocking in nails. Just sayin'.
Only time I’ve ever used them is when it has been for a job I am applying/interviewing for. Everyone else can learn to live without it.
Conversely, I find it annoying when someone leads off with just Name, then they go with the body of the email. Like I know what my name is, you don’t need to put it in the email.
-hmmmm...successful professional vs. Barely employable nexflix-sharer. Not sure who's opinion is more valid re: business communication.

Makes me insane.
I get pissed when someone starts an email with JUST my name. At least say "Hi Bob", "Hey Chad", etc. Only people addressing me like that with just my first name are my parents. I always fire back at those types.
"Bill, Please assist me with me with my computer"
"Karen, submit a ticket.."
It's amazing how petty the American office gets lol.
Thank you.
Has been rough in this economic climate. Two months ago I thought I was looking good for another job after they told me they would call me the next day to schedule a second interview after being impressed with me only to have them then never call me and never reply when I called them after a few days.
Like why tell me you are impressed with me and that you are going to call me to schedule it then don’t do it? Just tell me I’ll receive a call within X days if I advance to the next round of interviews instead of this ********.
At my temp job (still here thru Friday until I start the new job), every time I get a patient who is rude or worse, I’ll wait to put them into the computer system to get checked in for their appointment until I get to the end of the line so they have to wait longer lol. Oh wait you’re already late for your appointment? Well sucks to be you then, should have been nice
Been there done that....Unemployment and the job search is almost as bad as being alone on a deserted island. As a matter of fact, I might prefer a deserted island if it had enough food.
Congratulations on getting a job. I don't often agree with anything you post, but I wouldn't wish unemployment on my worst enemy. Well maybe my worst, but you are far from that.
Spell check. Sometimes I want to throw my damn phone.
My dad using Siri to reply to political Facebook arguments, having Siri totally botch 40% of his words, and him just hitting send with no regard to how it looks.
Like dude, just give it a once-over, ****.

It isn't that I hate people........I don't get along with others.........
Thankfully I was only unemployed for like two weeks once I got laid off (was on it for about a month when furloughed though) because I got the temp job I’m currently working, been doing this since Aug. 31. That month being furloughed was boring as ****, at least I was getting the extra $600 in unemployment then so I was taking a small a hit in salary, but when I was laid off I was getting less than I made working 30 hours a week at barely above minimum wage at Panera a few years ago.
I also live in a pretty ****** area for my experience and qualifications though. If I could move to a better fitting job market I likely wouldn’t have had nearly the amount of trouble that I did.

Like I say...texting and driving doesn’t kill. Autocorrect kills.
Specifically=
When the Manager at a restaurant comes to our table and asks how everything is...generally I have a mouthful of food and it is just annoying.
Generally=
Stuff left out on counters, dishes and other things...drives me nuts.
Randomly=
Taking a dump without a bidet since we bought a bidet. If you don't have one, get one, it will change your life.

A little off topic, but my wife wanted one and relented and installed a bidet in the master bath. The damn thing is pretty nice.
People that hang onto a politician's nutsack, as if the politician were some earthly deity. It's freakin' weird. And creepy. And culty! He or she is just a person doing a job. And they work for us. Stop treating them as if they were der Fuhrer.
