The Things That Anger You Thread.

Im gonna side with the Leena-Czech clan as well. While I don't work at Gamestop, I've worked in sales and retail enough to agree that a line needs to be drawn somewhere. When I telemarketed, I read verbatim for a while and sold a few. After I got into a niche, I re-worded it slightly and came off a little less robotic. I sold about the same. While that doesn't apply for a mystery shopper, Wal*Mart's mystery shopper is fine as long as you're polite and make an honest effort to help. For example: Eye contact is acceptable for the three metre rule, you're expected to introduce yourself on the phone but as long as you're polite and say your department, etc. As such, I think Gamestop could find a happy medium.

 

Sorry Chinese Kid.

 

Man I still can't believe that you got a three day suspension for saying that.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Probably pretty tough. Don't you have to have handicap plates, too?

 

Nope, you just need the blue thing that hangs from the rear view window. My Dad has one that I occassionally borrow when I go to a concert or whatever and want close parking.

 

Have you ever been questioned about it?

Dont you hate it when you give so much energy into getting a girl and she goes after another guy instead?

You misquoted. You wanted my next post.

Also, I was stoned, and it was only a detention.

I've gotten a few dirty looks from people, but no one has ever made a situation out of it.

Solution: Put in less work. Perhaps you seemed overzealous? I know a lot of girls that like a guy that is interested, but not trying to climb up her cootch after 5 seconds of talking.

Going to a bar and/or dance club and getting ID'ed...I can live with that. But if I head out to the parking lot to get something from my car and getting re-ID'ed by the same bouncer that ID'ed me in the first place not more than a half-hour ago? I think I'm the same person that I was when I first walked in.

 

Bouncers, see at least 100 people per hour. You can't really expect him to remember everyone that he let in.

 

 

I can see that argument if I leave the club and come back 2 hours later. But if he's just seen my piehole no more than a minute ago as I left to go to the car and come right back, that's a little ridiculous.

 

Then again, I suppose judging from some bouncers in this town (I used to be a bouncer myself) I can see why.

I don't know if it's a wide epidemic, but old people who ask for help and then shit on your help make me want to stab them.

 

I constantly get old people who ask for help picking out a cantaloupe, watermelon, whatever, and I ask them when they want to eat it.

 

"Tonight."

 

So I grab one that feels good.

 

"That doesn't look good."

 

"Well, it's a little ugly, but it's going to be tasty."

 

"I want that one."

 

They indicate a really pretty but green fruit.

 

"That won't taste good tonight."

 

"That's how we used to pick them on the farm."

 

 

 

Okay, WHY DO YOU BOTHER ME AND THEN SHIT ON MY CHOICE?

 

One lady brought a green cantaloupe that I told her wasn't going to be good back the next day, and I told the front end manager went down and she refused a refund since there was nothing wrong with the fruit, it was merely underripe which isn't our fault.

 

Shoes and Sandals too.

How would someone wear both at the same time?

I think he meant socks and sandels. I would hope so, because wearing one sandal and one shoe is really goofy. Im sure that's the new trend that'll sweep the nation.

I get angry about typos.

 

I did indeed mean socks and sandals.

 

WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY TYPING!?!?!?!?

[Guest Smues]

I don't get mad when there's no one to bag my stuff at the grocery store. I have no problem doing it myself. What makes me mad is when there's no one there to bag my stuff so I start doing it myself, and after 2-3 bags a bagger comes running up and stops me from bagging my own and acts mad that I dared to bag my own stuff.

It's pretty bad when the waiter/waitress hasn't done enough to deserve 15%.

Exactly. I leave tips based on how good the service is. I find the places that have forced tips are the ones with the worst service.

Once I was at a Kroger and helping the retard wearing the helmet bag my groceries. Some manager came running up and told me not to do this. I asked why and he said because upper management didn't want customers bagging. I said that I did this because if I were a customer waiting in line I'd want this line to move as fast as possible and if that involved the customer being waiting on helping out rather than just standing there like a lump then so be it. He said something back that I can't remember, to which I replied, in a somewhat sarcastic manner, "Well I'm the customer and we're always supposed to be right, so let me help bag my order."

I hate how not putting the gas cap on just right can set off not just 1 but 3 lights on my vehicle. I hate that the check engine light is tied in with the traction control lights. (Because when they all went on I figured it couldn't be just the gas cap since the traction control stuff came on. $40 later I found out it was indeed the gas cap.)

[Jericholic82 0]

Oh and I hate it when I go to the counter at Gamestop and they try to offer me 100 different things.

I mean it's ok if that's what you're required to do but don't push me after I've said no. They do that a lot at Gamestop. Just keep going on and on.

I'd like to go up to the counter with a game and say "This is what I want. This is all I want. I don't want to buy or consider buying anything else. And I don't have a Gamestop card. And I don't want one."

Then if they proceed to offer me anything after my protest I'll say "nevermind" and leave.

 

Seriously, if it bothers you to the point where you're going to say that, then stop shopping there. That is just flat out rude, and it is demoralizing for the employees. As annoying as you find the offers, the employees will find it 100x more irritating. You have to hear it on the occasion you go in there and buy something, they have to repeat it to every customer. I shop at Gamestop too, and "no thank you" has always worked.

trust me the bosses make them do that. I know all too well here, as we have to constantly offer credit, and warrantly plans for everything. the worst part is asking them for their phone number or address (they like to do it in case a customer loses their receipt), hell some people get pissed when they have to show an ID and give their phone number and address to apply for a credit card, or ID for m-rated games, or explicit CDS, or r rated movies

 

then again the other day I saw some guy bought GTA:San Andreas for what looked to be his maybe 5 year old son

 

but yea being on the other side changes your opinions really quick (I never get rude with workers at any store no matter what they pester me with, cuz I know they are just doing their job)

 

But I hate customers who get pissed when they cant get what they want and basically act like 5 year old kids, like this guy the other day who wnated to buy 3 of this one phone type, but we only had 2 left, so he wanted to buy the floor model and I said you can't, he replied why, so I said "well first off, theres no wires or batteries in the thing" second "you just cant they dont sell those" he continued to sort of be a whiny bitch about it (come on you can just sell it to me) so I finally said "Look, I'd like to help you out, but I like having my job more" that got him to leave me alone, but then again Im not sure he understood me cuz he spoke broken English (another problem everyone keeps coming up to me thinking I speak Spanish, but I dont and theres like only 1 guy at the store who does, which is dumb on the management's part considering a lot of our customers tend to be of some kind of spanish speaking origin). then the people stand there looking sad when I tell them I cant speak spanish (despite taking 4 years of it in High School lol) kind amakes me feel bad, but damn it I have other stuff to do!

 

and I hate when they get mad at me cuz another dept has nobody working in it and they need help.

[The Niggardly King 0]

I don't like people coming up to me and talking to me in another language... like I know that shit.

 

The only thing I do know is ASL (American Sign Language). It really sucks, as I've helped a few deaf people out, and they can really be pricks because some of them think I shouldn't know their language because my hearing is perfectly fine, and they'll feel offended by it.

Exactly.

 

I'll pay a base tip of my own accord, but I don't want it to be an automatic thing - if they're going to add it to the bill, and it's bigger than what I'd personally tip, it doesn't mean anything. It's just them charging extra cash for (usually) shit-all extra service. If it's less than what I'd tip, though, I'm not going to top it up.

 

Also, the remaining 5% of cereal boxes.

This doesn't so much anger me as it does annoy me: pubes on the only available urinal in the restroom...you know what I mean, random pubes sitting right there on that front part. I mean, I'm not expecting anyone to take the time to grab a papertowl and wipe them off or anything, but damn it sucks when there are no other urinals to use.

[Guest Fook]

Speaking of urinals, people (especially strangers) who talk to me while I'm at the urinal. I've got my junk out and am trying to take a piss here. I don't need the random old guy next to me to start going off about the weather, kids today, his wife, or whatever inane topics old people talk about. Leave me the fuck alone and let me piss.

[chuck415 0]

I get pissed off when I can't understand people who speak really bad English and they act like it's my fault.

Telemarketers. GRRRRR!

Speaking of leaving tips, I thinks its funny when you have like a $30 bill and lay down a $50 when the waitress picks it up and says, "Do you need change?" Fuck no honey you get a $20 dollar tip. My ass.

[Black Lushus 0]

it's not uncommon to miss the meaning of that question, guys...while, yeah, they obviously don't mean to keep all of your change, some people would rather be more discreet about the tip they leave rather than say "keep $5 for yourself and bring me back $15".

[Black Lushus 0]

back to the public/workplace restroom thing, I really do hate when people wipe their boogars on the walls and inside the stalls...there's toilet paper and paper towels RIGHT THERE, why use a wall?
