Please... no more puns. ; )

Today? Being lied to, repeatedly, really pissed me off.

Also, this damn poison ivy's doing a bang-up job.

The puns come standard on all models. You can take me back to the dealer and get an inhibitor, but it will cost you. Better just turn the music up loud.

Poison ivy?? Son of an itch, that sucks.

At least it would be fun to watch your abs flex when you sneeze. :rolleyes:

Snotty, tissue-covered abs are not as sexy as one might think.

I beg to differ, if you happen to be service orientated there is something extremely sexy about having a wobegone Dom to diligently nurse back to health.;)
 
I broke my favorite blue coffee mug that I have had and sipped from for over a decade. :(

I get this: the right mug makes a huge difference in my java enjoyment. Got a backup fave?

Let the snot love begin! :D
 
Okay, we're disagreeing on whether or not there is/was a Mrs. Peanut for the Planters folks. I Googled up *one* reference to her, someone posting that she was there (so to speak) briefly, but didn't "take off" and was abandoned.

Can anyone locate proof that the Planters people at least briefly had Mrs. Peanut in the entourage? Pleaaaaaseeee?

"He is single," confirms John Barrows, senior manager of marketing communications. "There is no Mrs. Peanut. There will never be a Mrs. Peanut."

Why not?

"He's a cosmopolitan guy," Barrows says. "He's busy."

As an addition to DGE's findings... it looks like there could be another reason for there never going to be a Mrs. Peanut...

Have you met Benson? :D
 
Being asked when we're going to have children. Repeatedly. Technically it was yesterday, but it's still pissing me off today.

I can't even begin to explain, how much it annoys me to be asked that same question over and over again. For several reasons.

"When are you going to have children?"

"Probably about the same time you learn to mind your own damned business."

Every time I see a doctor I have to explain to the in very clear details that there is no chance I am pregnant. They don't seem to understand how a 28 year old woman who is not on birth control can be so sure of it.

The doc that is currently treating my worker's comp case told me she doesn't want to rush into x-rays because I'm "a woman of child bearing age". When I finally convinced her that an x-ray at the very least is nessisary she asked flat out how could I be sure there was not even the slightest chance that I'm pregnant. I looked at her and said, "because you have to have vaginal pentitrative sex with a male partner for that, and it's been so long that if there was a chance, the baby would be here by now". Then she agreed to procede with the x-ray. :rolleyes:

It's to the point where I want to ask for a pregnancy test before even speaking to a doctor just so we can get that bit out of the way right off.
 
When a doctor tells you,"If it happens again, call me right away and we'll get you in to take care of it," and you call the doctor on a Wednesday and get told she's not back in until Monday.

I realize Monday is tomorrow, but I am still pissed off about this. Goddammit, girlie TMI: people shouldn't have to deal with having their period for months at a time, especially when the point was to stop their period altogether.

AND WHY does my internet connection keep resetting itself?

Ah, screw this, I'm going to do laundry.

Oh and CW: I am so there, I totally understand. "Any chance of being pregnant?" "No." "Are you sure?" "Does the phrase 'Immaculate Conception' mean anything to you?"

(And don't get nitpicky about the actual meaning of that phrase. It gets the message across.)

I know! I'm 27 and I'm in the same situation myself. I had to have an x-ray taken last year and they wouldn't even talk about it before I had actually taken a pregnancy test. I guess I wasn't assertive enough.

Most of the questions I get, though, come from friends and family. They just don't seem to get it. I really don't think it's a good enough reason for me to get pregnant, that his grandparents are old and not in such a good health anymore, and they'd like to see some great grand kids before they pass away. His parents and aunts are being really pushy about it these days. Makes me want to slap them, really.

I think my family has given up on me, now I just get shit from doctors.

Of course this could be partly due to the fact that I refuse to go to family functions anymore.

Still on the rare occation that I go to extended family functions I'm asked simular questions. I also get asked "when are you going to find a man?" not nearly as often but it does still come up.

I'm still thinking about asking the couple I dated (now friends) to come with me to a function. The majority of the family is convinvced I prefer women. I'd just like to make their eyes pop. It's just a lot more fun than telling them to fuck off.

And you know, what really bothers me about the doctors is that every time I see one the first thing they do is thow birth control at me. Okay, I do have a medical reason why I should be on birth control (PCOS) but they push it on me before they even talk about the PCOS. It's like because I'm over 18 and female I need to be on birth control. Pisses me off every time. I nearly threw the samples back at the last doc.
 
I worked with a client three weeks ago who was happy when she left the shop, but 72 hours later was convinced I was Satan incarnate. She called the shop to complain, but happened to call on a day when the manager was out sick, and assistant manager was off.

When the client discovered that the shop was "completely unsupervised", she tried to call the corporate offices to complain. Because our company is privately held, she could only find the phone number to our flagship store. The client spent 45 minutes yelling at the manager to the flagship store, because *in her opinion* I don't know what I'm doing.

My manager called the client, and spent 45 minutes being yelled at because I had caused her a "nightmare of pain and suffering".

My manager had the client come into the shop, and the client complained that I did XYZ (standards required by my company). She acknowledged that I told her multiple times that if she was uncomfortable in any way I would fix things - except that wasn't what the woman on the phone said when she called to complain, so what *I* told her was ignored.

She came in at my manager's invitation, worked with my manager, and tweaked my work to make things more comfortable. I sent her a thank you note, acknowledging the changes made, and told her I hoped she was more comfortable/to please contact me if she needed anything at all. When I saw her last week (she was in to finish exchanging something), I acknowledged who she was, that she had been re-sized, and asked if she was more comfortable in the new items - she said yes.

Today we got a letter from the BBB. The woman filed a formal complaint against myself and the company, stating that it was a nightmare experience, that *I* caused her physical pain and suffering, and that*I* uttered the words "satisfaction guaranteed" then did not follow through.

It was a TWO PAGE LETTER OF COMPLAINT.

From a technical aspect, my work was *pristine*. I put the woman in the right size. I met (and exceeded) every company standard. The things she complained about are things I am OBLIGATED to do because it is my JOB.

She went from working with me, to complaining, to trying to complain to Corporate (wasting another store/manager's time), to a formal complaint with the BBB, in the space of 4 days. She didn't even give my manager 24 hours to come back to work (after spending the day in the ER) to try and fix things, before going to the BBB. The issues were completely resolved over a week ago... and we just today (by mail) found out about the BBB complaint, and that the woman had "closed" the case a week ago after "finding resolution". (Which occurred as soon as she did WHAT I 'EFFING REPEATEDLY TOLD HER TO DO when I worked with her - she came back and my manager tweaked my work.)

GAAAAHHHH!!!


I am tempted to say very unkind things about the woman, but instead I shall celebrate the fact that I had $6,300 in sales today.
 
Some people just aren't happy until they make sure every one knows they were slightly put out.

We had a guy who did something similar to your customer CM. In fact, he's a regular and does this often.

He always comes in when we are at our peak. He always orders 3 large frappe's , and he always complains that it takes too long to make them. Our machine can only blend 2 large at a time, max.

Well every now and again he comes in when the bag is just full enough that we end up having to change it before completing his order. This particular day I had issues changing the bag, and he saw me make 2 others of a different flavor while some one was fetching a new one. He screamed at the shift manager, and then screamed at the GM who just happened to be there at the time. I told her that he always makes a fuss, but since he was causing a scene, she tried to calm him.

He ended up leaving the store with 3 large frappe's of a different flavor, 3 large of the flavor he ordered, a full refund, and 2 coupons for free something or other before he left. And he still called the 1800 number to complain about not getting his original frappe's.

We emailed the lady who handles the calls for our region and let her know what exactly happened before she contacted him. When she did contact him, he asked her how he was to be compensated for his trouble.

He did this 3 more times before she called the corporate call center and told them that he is a repeat caller so his complaints won't go against us any longer.


Congrats on your sales though. Sounds like a productive day. :)
 
You did; YOU pissed me off today

You exist; I'm sorry for that mistake of nature.

You seem to want to nuture that SMALL percentage of mankinds emotions that lead to unhappiness and violence.

Ones and zeros seperate us; I can't express how much I wish they didn't. You've succeeded; I can't even desrcible how much I'd like to get my hands around your throat Congratulations.

At the request of some friends...


Go ahead...tell us what pissed you off...
 
My procrastination on a project I really should have done by now, and some notes that I'm currently working on (at 3 in the damn morning), and the fact that my fucking mouse will. Not. Stay. Still! That's what pissed me off today!
 
People who can't keep stupid comments to themselves especially when the subject has nothing to do with them.
 
How hard is it to look ahead one fucking day and realize "hey, I might have an issue with having enough crew on this shift"

Seriously?

And why do you have to fucking call and wake me up to tell me that you didn't plan ahead and now you're fucked? I'm not the GM and I'm not the 1st assistant and it isn't my fucking problem. I don't know what the fuck you expect me to do about it anyway. Oh wait, yes I do. You have a plan, it's a stupid lazy plan, and you want me to approve it so that you can go back to the GM and say "well wenchie said it was okay". Well no fuck wit, I'm not putting my approval on it until you have exhausted all other resourses.

You know what people, I make mistakes. That's why the schedule is suposed to go thru the GM and the supervisor before it's posted. But they don't bother to look at it, then you don't do your job and look ahead by one day, and I'm the one that gets the phone calls when I'm already in bed because "we don't want to bother the GM"

Well fuck every last one of you.:mad:
