Yes. A little chatter is fine, but customers who feel that you are their personal therapist: profoundly irritating. I also hate soda inhaling teenagers. Partially because they are a lot of trouble, and partially because I feel like after nine sodas or so I owe their kidneys a personal, hand-written letter of apology.

the public really has no idea how much of a pain in the neck they can be. I bartend part time, so I deal mostly with the tipsy public, but I get a lot of people who see no problem with talking to my back while I am speaking to another table. They are seemingly unable to distingiush between when I am unable to hear them (I'm a bit deaf but when you are twelve inches away, I can hear you) and when I am blatantly ignoring them hoping in vain that they will one day learn to wait their turn.
 
Did that on overnights at the restaurant I worked at.....holy *&^%(*#%^%...omg...imbeciles....and they dont even care if we are taking orders from others.......:eek3:
 
I hate clients who think I have STUPID written on my forehead. They try to manipulate, wheedle and out-right lie - they have a dirty urine test and accuse me of switching urine samples, even though they are standing right there, they are the one who open the cup, the specimen is never out of their sight. I never touch the urine sample - I only dip the stick in it and they are watching the whole time. but when I tell them the test was dirty, they insist that either I switched the sample or my test is wrong.... Yeah right - poppy seeds, again

One client who has broken every rule from smoking in a non-smoking area to stealing told me that she didn't think that they were "major" rules, so why was I writing her up? ...

One client packed to leave today (she didn't leave though) because I told her she would have to get up earlier if she wanted to shower in the morning because everyday she has been blocking one of two bathrooms at wake-up time for 23 women and 5 kids (leaving only one bathroom for that many people to "make morning water" in)... I guess I didn't get the memo that it was all about her

I got yelled at by a potential client (remember I run a homeless shelter and drug rehab) because she thought she would have her own room, not a bunk in a dorm.

Another potential client handed me a partially filled out intake packet, after having read the rules, saying that she didn't realize it would be so structured... (Rehab structured? UH, DUH...)

Need to hear more?

Repeat after me...
:wall: I love my job :wall: I love my job :wall: I love my job
:headbang2: I really do love my job, just not stupid people :headbang2:
 
I HATE IT WHEN WALMART TAKES FISH THAT HAVE BEEN RETURNED, STICKS THEM IN 2" WIDE 3" TALL BETTA CUPS HALF FULL OF WATER, STICKS THEM BEHIND ALL THE BETTAS AND IF SOMEONE ASKS "Hes dieing but I dont have the heart to kill him :( " OMG THE @!#(*Q%)($%%%%*(@%()%#)#%(%*
 
I hate it when I am playing in a concert and suddenly mess up and can't play for half of the song.
 
I have no complains. Life is good. Traffic is alright. Ain't got too much money in my pockets, but at least they don't weight me down, that's a good thing. I'm about to set up my very first REEF TANK! That's exciting. Ain't married, ain't got no kids, just looking for a girlfriend. Meanwhile, I'm here imagining myself at a far far away island, where the sun shines bright early everyday and the birds melodic singing are the only sounds you'll hear in the morning. Out by the beach I lay in a hammock, tied up to two coconut trees, with a fresh young coconut in hand, drinking from a straw, looking out at the beach, the waves coming and going, the hypnotizing dance of the sea gulls as they hunt the sea for food. Oh yeah....life is good..life is good.:grinyes:
