Vitamins posted:Its nice being from a socialist utopia where 2 weeks worth of polos/t-shirts along with 3 pairs of work trousers and 2 pairs of safety boots are provided free of charge at the start of every year in my job. Along with a tax refund being available to account for the cost of washing said items at home. Restaurants that make employees pool their tips, resulting in a setup where everyone is responsible for everything (meaning nobody is responsible for anything), so you get things like one waiter taking your drink order, another taking your food order, somebody from the kitchen bringing it out, and some totally random person bringing your check, which is the wrong one because he didn't know what you ordered because he was waiting on another table. I don't know what the point of this nonsense is, but it's annoying as hell. Let me have ONE server, and I'll gladly tip him/her generously.

If that car in front of me stalls and can't get started, then I'm stuck behind him and can't get around. If I leave a car length in front of me, then it's no problem. Pet peeve: People who have no situational awareness whatsoever. Not even the ones who walk around looking down at their phones; the ones who just walk like a snail in the middle of a hallway, or who stop directly in front of a doorway and start rooting though their purse, etc. Do you not even realize that there are other people in the world besides you?

It didn't mention what it meant if you also have trouble with Crazy Names some White People give their kids.

Nettles Coterie posted:I really hate when people who have been working lovely jobs for a while latch onto the idea that breaks are for the weak, and they intentionally work through their breaks or refuse to take them at all. I get that some people have bosses who illegally push that poo poo, but I've had a couple jobs where management actively encourages us to take breaks and write up break schedules every day, and there are STILL people who do this! WHY? It doesn't make you a better employee, it makes you more likely to get hurt, exhausted or burned out, and I guarantee you the company doesn't deserve that kind of blind dedication to your awful minimum-wage job. Then when I try to take my break, these fuckers come at me like "Oh, you're taking a ten? Must be nice, I haven't had a break in 3 years" Yes. If you're one of those people who insist in coming to work when you're sick, so you can make everyone else in the office sick, stop it.

People who come to me for advice on how to lose weight/get into shape and then counter every single suggestion with a lame excuse for why they can't/won't do it. Person: I want to lose weight/get in shape. What do you do? Me: I run and lift weights. Person: I hate to run. Me: Well, you could walk instead. Walking at a good pace is just as good as running but not as hard on your knees. Person: I don't have time. Me: Do it after work. Person: I'm too tired after work. Me: Get up a half hour earlier in the morning. Person: I could never do that. Me: Do it on your lunch hour. (We have walking trails right across the street from our office). Person: Then I'd be all sweaty and I don't want to go back to work sweaty. Me:

A perfectly good product that works as intended, then they discontinue it and come out with the "new and improved" version which is a piece of poo poo, but they never go back to the original.

CainsDescendant posted:My dentist is the worst about this. He's an outspoken Trump supporter while on the job, throws fits if you ask him to change the channel from Fox news, and takes a particular joy from making GBS threads on my generation while he's wrist deep in my mouth. He's the cheapest guy in my area, though, so I have to put up with it. Unless you two are friends, or he's familiar enough with you that he knows you share the same political views, this is really unprofessional. Pet peeve: When somebody starts a conversation with "I never discuss politics," Followed by a lengthy diatribe on whatever the current hot-button political issue is. Is the "I never discuss politics" supposed to make me the rear end in a top hat if I don't sit quietly and listen to everything he says?

I tend to agree with Indolent Bastard that it's a crab bucket thing, i.e., if everybody has a donut, they don't have to feel guilty about chowing down on junk food they don't need. I also got called a "show off" because I took the stairs up to the second floor instead of waiting for our slower-than-poo poo elevator.

Finally I'm just like "gently caress you, twist in the wind then" and two weeks later she's fired. I had this happen once. Then she called me at my new job (God knows how she got the number) and asked me how to do one of the things I spent an hour showing her. The SECOND time she called me, I told her that if she called me again I was going to charge a $50 an hour consulting fee every time she called me. Never heard from her again. Pet peeve: People who don't bathe/use deodorant. I don't care what your reason is. I'm not allowed to smoke indoors because you shouldn't have to breathe my filthy tobacco fumes. Fine.

Job ads that, when you click on them, make you read a gigantic wall of marketing text before you even get to the job description. Then the job description is like two or three lines. Example: Project Manager - XYZ Corp. XYZ Corp is a dynamic, cutting-edge market leader that provides world-class solutions to our clients.....(goes on for about five paragraphs like that). Project Manager: Manages projects and does other stuff. Requirements: 3-5 years experience.

Maggie Fletcher posted:It's the same at work. The relentless stream of gifts and flowers anytime someone so much as gets a hangnail. Apparently there's a thing called Bosses Day, and although all three of our department's "bosses" are incompetent at best, we had to all get them flowers and cards, only to hear them respond "wait, this is a thing?" Bosses Day and Admin Professionals day are my two pet peeves. My boss probably makes four times what my co-workers and I make, and she's rarely in the office. We're buying her a gift and/or taking her to lunch why? Our Admin works for the boss, period. She makes that clear whenever you make a request of her. Why are we acting like she works harder than everyone else and taking her to lunch on her "special day"? Shouldn't the boss be doing that?
