New peeve thread???

[RICHARD]

The new bus line in Los Angeles has been open 3 days and already has had two accidents....

The lady that t-boned the bus was...










On her cell phone!

----------------------------------

Other peeves of mine....

People, from outside an office area, that go to meetings and ALWAYS have to get a cup of water out of the office cooler.......(each office has a water budget.....) If I walked into your office and helped myself to your stuff --you wouldn't be pleased.

Right before that they put on lipstick that ends up all over the cup.....
EWWWWWWWWW...

Then they pitch the half-filled cup into the trash, the housekeepers get ticked off at us because of the spillage when they go to empty the cans....

Richard, you have a water budget? I think that would peeve me too! I mean really, I understand budgets and all, and understand that they need to be complied with, but what....was somebody drinking too much water at one time and the company didn't want to pay for it? I'm usually so glad I work for a small company - no water budgets to deal with here. Although....since you do have a budget, I think what you describe would peeve me too, especially since they take one sip then throw the rest away! No wonder they have to come to your department to get water - theirs is all in the trash can!

Yes, the individual depts have a budget for water....

There is a doctor from the cardiac department that brings a dolly over and takes three bottles every 'fill up' day. I guess he sees the truck parked on the street and walks over with his hand cart-from across the street....

I don't drink the water or the coffee in the breakroom-as a matter of fact I have been in our breakroom 3 times in six years....That's another peeve for another time...

How about this one....
No-good-Co-workers, anyone?


Today, Going on my break. Under the age of 18 you HAVE to clock-out and go on break at a certain time. It was my break time, so I got my food and sat down. Noticed my co-worker who was manning the front counter and drive-thru was busy at the drive-thru and had customers at the counter. Got up, left my food and waited on the customers while on break.

Got done with that, about 10 minutes into my break and finally got to sit down and eat my lunch.

I come back from break and it's her turn to go on break. We're now at a more busy time of the day. There's now 2 other people up front but they are manning the drive-thru which at the time was completely wrapped around the building. There were probably 10 or so customers at the counter and I was the only one at the counter. Going crazy with no one to bag/get my orders, my co-worker who *I* had previously helped just leaves and goes on break! No help AT ALL. Not even with the few customers who only wanted re-fills.

If that's no-good and inconsiderate I don't know what is.

At my work place, we have the mind-set as being a TEAM. She certainly was not a part of the team today.

Ahhh...pet peeves at work? I have a list, but I just encountered one of my biggest pet peeves...people who go to the bathroom and walk out without flushing or washing their hands!

How hard is it to flush a toilet anyway? Especially since there are other people who use them. Be considerate, folks!

Yuk...

[Lady's Human]

A few of the threads in the dog section lately have stuck a nerve with me. PEOPLE WHO TREAT PETS AS DISPOSABLE PROPERTY!!!

If you can't pay the vet bills, don't get 'em.

If you can't pay the vet bills, don't breed 'em.

If you need contact with animals that badly volunteer at a shelter.

Ditto, ditto, ditto, ditto!!!

Can I be a tad disgusting for a bit and add...turn on the fan!!! I understand that people have issues somedays, or for others, everyday, but there is a fan in there for a reason!!!

Might I add the people at work that have those bad habits, plus don't clean their keyboard, etc with alcohol for the next person? I keep my own alcohol and clean the desk as soon as I sit down.
