New peeve thread???

This one should be pretty much self explanitory: Men! They are so hard to figure out.

My peeve?

Women treating men like a column of numbers to be 'figgered out'

My number one Pet peeve is when people walk*really* slow and I'm stuck behind them. IT DRIVES ME NUTS

1. I just can't stand it when on the bus some people push and shove their way to the front of the line so they'll be able to make it out the door first at a bus stop
I don't know why they're in such a hurry because EVERYONE is headed that way!

2. Bus drivers with attitude.

I was at an airline ticket counter checking in with one of our consultants from work. She asked if we could get seats toward the front of the plane and the agent told her, "ya know, the WHOLE PLANE is going to the same place!"

Peeve 172-

Showing a person, who has more initials behind their name than you will ever have, how to use a fax machine, over and over and over and over again.

Got one.

Total incompetence and total lack of willingness to help.

I just had to make a call on an order my boss placed with his friend. My boss probably talked directly with his friend to place this order - there is no PO, I don't have an order number, I know nothing except that the order was placed, a general idea of what the item is and where it was supposed to be delivered. The friend is out of town - as is my boss - so I had to talk to one of the girls in his office. She kept repeating over and over and over "I can't look it up unless I have a PO number." "You mean you placed an order and you don't even know who your sales rep is?" in a snotty tone of voice of course. "I can't help you unless I know the PO number."

I'm thinking come on lady, can't you look at our account and see if there are any open orders on it? Or even look at the deliveries going out and see if there is one going to Northbrook. Sheesh, give me access to your friggin computer and I'll find the friggin order!

Finally, about an hour later - after she got it through her head that I really couldn't give her a PO number - she called me back with exactly the information I was looking for! Now really, was that so hard?
