(Hopefully this will be fun...cuz it is Monday)

We have two shared desks in the main room. If you break a pencil point, sharpen it. If you need to use the scissors, put them back in the drawer.

And, now I'm getting really petty: Pens & pencils do not belong on the keyboard (above the number row, below the function keys).

When people mumble and don't speak clearly so you have to ask them to repeat themselves, and then when they do, they mumble it again. If I can't understand you the first time I'm not going to understand you the second time unless you enunciate or raise your voice or make some sort of effort to be understood!

 We have surgeons that are low talkers. Add a mask and all the noises in the OR and the result is a stressed out nurse!

As a spin off of low talkers I hate when people hold their cell phone against their shoulder or whatever it is they are doing so they are impossible to understand. I have several clients, all male for that matter, that do this when they call. I assume they are driving or otherwise doing something else & have their phone trapped by their chin & shoulder.

People who complain or are negative ALL. THE. TIME.

Anyone blowing their nose in a restaurant anywhere but the bathroom.

People holding up traffic in the passing lane.

Computer generated calls.

Or when someone is telling you something and they turn away from you.

Had a boss that was bad about that.

He'd always give instructions as he was walking away.

I only mention this because I saw it at a Walmart recently.

I would never say anything to the person guilty of doing it, but, visible underwear. That's one of my pet peeves, it's just wrong on so many levels. How hard is it to not wear blue underwear and white pants? And if you have to wear visible undergarments, ladies, could you at least make it matching colors so my OCD won't twitch? Don't wear a bright red bra under that white blouse with those white pants hiding, but not really, those blue panties.

 Dh and my 8 year old are THE WORST at this. They get all annoyed when I ask them to repeat themselves for the third time.

Constantly asking me questions about stuff you should damn well know because you can't be bothered to think for 2 seconds. News flash - there IS such a thing as a stupid question.

Oh!  I have one.  Calling a business and having to punch in your SSN, date of birth, acct number, etc, etc, etc.

Then once you have a live person on the line, they ask you for THE EXACT SAME INFO you just spent 15 minutes punching in.

Why the fvck didn't your system send that info to you?

Okay, I win!

I was calling our vision insurance to check on a claim that had been denied. The computerized voice kept insisting that she could help me & I knew that my question was a bit complicated. Many times, when you press "0" you get a LIVE human being.

I pressed "0"...more than once, after rejecting her offers of help.

She finally said, "Ma'am, there is no need to press buttons."

YES, I WAS SCOLDED by a COMPUTER.

Noisy eaters.

People who get too close (in my personal space).
