I was listening to a radio talk show on the way to work this morning and I though they had a pretty good idea. They were having listeners call in and vent about daily things that really piss them off. I usually need a good venting at least twice a month to relax me a little. You know, let off a little steam. There has to be alot of people on this forum who need to vent to relieve a little stress. What pisses you off more than anything? What are your pet peeves?

Mine:

1. Stupid people who think they are super intelligent but are in fact too damn dumb to know they're stupid. Does this make sense?
2. Rude people. Where the hell do people get off thinking they can treat others badly for no reason? This includes rude drivers.
3. Lazy people. Get off your ass and earn it!
4. Liars. Do I need to elaborate?
5. Hypocrisy.

I have many more but this are the biggies. Okay, I'm done.
 
I'm with ya on that sistah... add to that the entitlement people... people who think they are entitled to something for whatever reason.....

The eagles sing so wonderfully :)

I turn on the tube and what do I see
A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me"
They point their crooked little fingers ar everybody else
Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves
Victim of this, victim of that
Your momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat

Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit
Get over it, get over it

You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash
But you might feel better if I gave you some cash
The more I think about it, Old Billy was right
Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight
You don't want to work, you want to live like a king
But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing

Get over it
Get over it
If you don't want to play, then you might as well split
Get over it, Get over it

It's like going to confession every time I hear you speak
You're makin' the most of your losin' streak
Some call it sick, but I call it weak

You drag it around like a ball and chain
You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain
You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down
Complain about the present and blame it on the past
I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little ass

Get over it
Get over it
All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit
Get over it, get over it

Lol! I love that song!

Oooh the entitlement people. Especially those who drive along the shoulder during rush hour to get to the front of the line. I pull my SUV onto the shoulder and block them. Man that really pisses them off. My husband thinks I going to get killed by someone with road rage because of it.
 
let me think....
people who will never admit that they are wrong or refuse to believe there is anything wrong with a situation even when its staring them in the face.
people who take you at face value/your looks etc.
people who refuse to work(and often never have) and claim benefits when there is no reason for them to do so. they end up financially better off than the likes of myself, sitting on their a***s all day. people who have never worked and keep having kids (10,11,12 etc) and expect the state to keep them in luxury and moan constantly that they dont have enough. they usually have massive houses rent free, big cars, plasma tvs,loads of money for nights out etc etc.
people who are nice to you face, then bitch and moan about you behind your back. slim
 
Specific People who are pissing me off today:

Project Manager A - who decided that today would be a great day to take a vacation day, especially since we were rolling out a new workflow that he developed and never documented nor did he tell anyone what changed... Am I supposed to GUESS?

Client A - who took down their server for a new process we're using today at noon, knowng full well we had training scheduled at 1:00 so we couldn't do the training we needed, and oh yeah -we're going live wiht it tonite - and their server is still down.

My boss - who decided 10 minutes ago that I should stick around and wait for the server to come back up to train the users on what to do witht his new process.

My boss -who followed me to a user's desk to talk about something -then chewed out the user for no good reason.. then sends me a group email out about how we need to better manage our emotions in the workplace (dumbass - I'm the one the user's like -you're the one who did the chewing out)

the corporate email admin: who doesn't beleive there's a problem with email - my email stopped working this afternoon - bcause the password expired only I never got a notification that the password expired because it got caughtin the spam filter (theirs not mine) they reset my password - i changed it again like i'm supposed to -and three times I could no longer access my email - yes, i do know how to enter a freakin' password- the change function is broken. fix it.

I walked into the office in a foul mood - I didnt think it was possible for my mood to get worse - there are apparantly unexplored depths to this level of how foul tempered i can be...
 
It's 6:15am
You're on public transportation.
Is it really necessary to YELL into your cell phone and have an overly personal phone call at full volume...
Indoor voices exist for a reason - to discuss personal things in public

Trust m e when I say -I could live the rest of my life without knowing that the things that you discussed on the phone this morning actually exist...

Indoor voices please... a little decorum...q
 
Profs that give tests that take them 45 minutes to complete and only allot 50 minutes to everyone else. What do you mean you don't know why the class average was a 22.5?
 
Grrrr! Lazy fucking people who refuse to walk an extra ten feet to put the damn cart in the cart corral. When they are parked right next to it!!! Instead the old bitch made a huge mistake of pushing the cart right up against MY CAR (which isn't even a year old yet) and walking away. And SHE gets mad when I tell her to get her lazy ass back over there and get the damn cart off of MY car. I was so close to ramming the damn thing into her driver side door. Then I realized the police would arrest ME and not the lazy ass bitch. I hate people right now. :(
 
I don't care what title you have - you're still a moron - having a fancy title doesn't make you any less of a moron... and throwing your title around isn't going to make me do anything faster than I was - I'll get to it when I get to it...

People who are so in love with their titles are just pissing me the hell off today - and every day - prove what you know - I can call myself the Most Holy Exaulted Grand Poohbah - but it wouldn't fit on my business card, and just because I call myself something -doesn't make it so... You can be senior whomever whatever you're still a moron... (I spent too much time on Wall Street, I know how utterly useless a title is - heck I was an Assistant Treasurer at a major bank - didnt get me anywhere near money -just gave me a better cube, better name plate and more vacation... )

Just pay me and Idon't care what you call me...

Exaulted Grand Poohbah though, has a nice ring to it...
 
I get it now -if we spend half our day on conference calls listening to gasbags pontificate - then they don't have to do any real work - but dammit - you spend so m uch time gasbagging -that I don't have time to get what you want done...

SHUT UP already -

Enough of speaking to hear yourself talk - trust me - if you had a good voice I wouldnt mind -but your voice is ANNOYING... and you've said the same thing 4 different ways - we're really not that stupid - we do get it...

SHUT UP...

Oh Yes, let's have another conference call at 5 to touch base...

that would be such fun for me...

I HATE PEOPLE!!!
 
My God Mal, you're having a shit day.:( :beerchug: Here's a drink, on me. Sounds like you REALLY need it.


I'm hating that I have to waste my Saturday (and $50 in gas) tomorrow driving to the next town over to drop off my car at the autobody shop. Then go pick it up a week later, wasting another perfectly good day off and another $50 in gas. I know it's my own fault, living in a tiny town, but geez.
 
Condescending - defined as "Displaying a patronizingly superior attitude"
Patronize - defined as "To treat in a condescending manner."

Don't you love dictionaries that don't actually define anything... It's the free dictionary so I do suppose I get what I pay for... and here i had a lovely rant planned.. but alas - I can't rant without proper definitions...

SO I will leave with this thought -some people are really only alive because it's illegal to kill them... and it's damn shame I learned right from wrong... but would it be wrong to kill someone who really deserves it?

My favorite defiition of Stressed - When the mind overrules the body's desire to choke the living crap out of some asshole who desperately deserves it...

How true that is...
 
i'm way too fussy an eater to spend time in jail -not to mention people piss me off entirely too much to want to spend time i close quarters with anyone - particularly women... Solitary confinement I might consider but with my luck I'd have somoene who snores in the next cell...

Just don't get caught. I can't make it through a week without visualizing myself offing some idiot.
 
When something isn't working right wiht the application - call it by the appropriate name - ya know, the name of the function that's listed on the freakin' menu bar in big bold letters - don't give what you think it's called which is in fact a completely different function and I get to waste a good 90 minutes chasing a freakin' rabbit down the wrong hole...

I HATE PEOPLE!!
 
Here's a long one. I handle the contracts, financials and construction documentation for an architecture firm here in LR. Recently we had a bid date for a small $5M project and of course it was awarded to the lowest bidder. This little construction company appparently bit off more than can chew. Daily I have to review project and financial documents for this and I have to return almost EVERYTHING I receive as rejected because these people can't see to get it right. Each project has specifications that should be called "projects for dummies" because it explains step by step how everything is to be done. From submitting products, building the damn structure to contracts and pay requests. These people still don't get it!! I am begging the partneres here to outsource me so I can go show these people how to get their shit together, They either need to step up or go back to building fast food restaurants and gas stations and stay the hell away from the large projects. OR hire someone to manage everything properly. Idiots!

I keep getting phone calls from the engineers asking what the hell is going on with these people. I have had so many today that I am having the receptionist put them straight into my voicemail. Fucktards. Ha! I have been waiting to use that one. Thanks Mal for the new word!!
 
isnt that a wonderful word?

I swear I've cursed so many times today, it's now lost all meaning... and I've run out of change for the swear jar... it's been an expensive day...
 
Morning,

What pisses me off are parents who do not discipline/manage their kids and allow them to run wild.

Then said parents wonder why said kids fail their classes or get in trouble with the teachers....and then said parents blame the teachers instead of their little homicidal maniacal children.

Sigh.

Barbara
