Little quirks (the other side)

People who are rude to me (or anyone who doesnt deserve it) for no apparent reason. Especially kids. I' m 16 myself. And nothing ticks me off more than some 13 year old kid trying to act tough by cussing at me or disrespecting me in general. I' m trying to treat people with respect. It takes you longer than being rude to act superior, which takes you...nowhere. Lets see how rude they are when they have my polite foot up their ass. They surely deserve it.

I just thought of another one...

People who can' t seem to get off their ass and empty their clothes from the dryer sometime soon after they are finished. This problem is somewhat specific to dormitory residents such as myself... I just had to wait 15 minutes for some asshole to come get his shit out of the dryer. When he came in and saw me waiting, he proceeded to move even slower. I swear I wanted to kick his ass, but I am cursed with a really high bullshit tolerance, so I held my temper. What makes it really bad is when people take so long just because they don' t care or weren' t paying attention to time. I understand that not everyone will be standing there waiting for the dryer to cut off, but 5 minutes is plenty of grace period... then I' m throwing your shit on the floor.

I' m OCD and ADD....nuff said....there would be too much stuff to list..

Slide.

Well, I' d like to add something. I may sound like a hypocrite at first, but please just read it through and you' ll understand.

People who swear excessively during a debate/argument. Possibly people who swear at all during a serious argument. I' m not talking about the thread where I just swore off a whole bunch of Raiders fans. That was merely humour, albiet, in disguise. I' m talking about having a discussion with a point, like politics, religion, and matters as trivial as differences in musical opinions. When you swear when you' re trying to make a true point, your credibility goes out the window. Since you have had to use just those few extra words to convey more emotional disappointment or extreme expression, you have also exhibited your impatience to whoever you are arguing with. So, when you' re having a serious talk about something, don' t drop an F-bomb! Thank you.

If you want perfect English, go teach an English class. In the real world we communicate to get our point across, not to have perfect English. Deal with it.

No. You deal with the fact that if you use improper spelling/grammar/English, the point you are so deperately trying to get across is significantly weakened. No, of course we don' t communicate just to have perfect English. However, communicating effectively involves proper spelling and grammar, whether you like it or not.

And while we' re on the subject of pet peeves...

First of all, I speed. Almost all the time, in fact. Especially on a multi-lane superhighway. However, I' d like to express my disgust and pity for those who think they have any right to bitch about a person driving the speed limit. How dare you. If you can exceed posted speed limits and maintain cotrol of your vehicle, go ahead. More power to you. Enjoy. Your decision to break laws that are designed to protect you and others is your own. But please, spare me the arrogance of thinking that those who choose to follow said laws are somehow more in the wrong than you are.

I' m not done yet.

Work:
-People who ask me how much something is while they continue to hold the item, twirling it in their hands. Hey there, smarty, the price is on the box, and I don' t exactly have the time or effort to memorize the price of everything in the store.
-People who call for delivery and then are not home. Drives me right up a fucking wall. I' d like to point out that it' s not like pizza, where you get it in half an hour. We amass the deliveries early in the day and go out in the afternoon. There' s occasionally another trip out for a late afternoon run, and then only emergency deliveries after that.
-People who don' t pay their copayments for some unacceptable reason. Okay, you left your money at home; or you' d like to charge it for the month; or you just went shopping and have no money. Our customer base is tight enough that we know who to trust and who not to trust. But some people will refuse their copays (and on certain plans, you don' t have to pay for your drugs, the store eats the cash for it though...), and then buy a lotto ticket, or cigarettes, or a box of rubbers. Un-frickin' -believable.
-People who call the store and immediately go, " Yeah, who' s this?" DRIVES ME FUCKING NUTS. This is the worst thing to say to me on the phone. It will immediately warrant a, " and who is this," right back to you. And occasionally I get people who say, " Let me talk to a pharmacist, this is private," which I don' t mind, but PLEASE do not immediately take such a rude and commanding attitude at the beginning of a phone call. Normal phone etiquette to me says the person calling states who they are, and their business. THEN, and ONLY AFTER THAT, may they ask who they are speaking with. It' s what I do all the time, I don' t understand why people are so friggin rude about something that can be so simple.
-People who come in when we are literally turning the lights off in the store to leave and have the audacity to go, " Oh, you' re closed?"

NO! WE' RE TESTING THE FUCKING LIGHTS! YES, OF COURSE WE ARE CLOSED!
Apparently, they cannot read the sign outside of the door that says, " 9 to 8, M to F, 9 to 6 Sat and 10 to 2 Sun."
Their business at this time is normally to pick up a greeting card or a pack of cigarettes and it usually makes me want to scream violently about murder in mass numbers.
-People who try to get us to do something illegal. This happens frequently with state regulated controlled substance prescriptions. Doctors can be too lazy and not fill in required information (minimally, patient' s name, full address, sex, age, the date, the name of the drug, strength of the drug, how the drug is to be taken, amount to be dispensed, the maximum daily dose, signature, doctor' s imprinted name and DEA number). When someone in massive pain sends their spouse in with a Percocet prescription and we can' t do it because the doctor didn' t fill in the date, they' ll go, " Oh, can you call the doctor?" which is understandable, but the answer is no, the doctor must write it in person. But then people start begging for us to do things like just write it in. I told one guy, " No," once and he said, " Just give me your pen and don' t look." It' s unfortunate that people have to suffer longer because a doctor neglected to *write* something on a piece of paper, but shit happens, and the state cracks down hard on pharmacies when it comes to controlled drugs.

Non-Work:
-Cell phones in class. PUT IT ON VIBRATE!!!! HOLY SHIT! IS IT THAT FUCKING HARD??!?! Every fucking person in school has the most up to date phone available in the world; there must be a vibrate feature somewhere on it.
-Worse is actually LEAVING CLASS TO ANSWER YOUR PHONE! They answer it, start the conversation in class, and walk in front of the steaming professor, have their conversation outside and walk in like nothing happened. WHERE THE FUCK HAVE MANNERS GONE? DOES ANYONE RESPECT ANYONE ELSE ANYMORE? DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THE WORD " ETIQUETTE" MEANS? DOES THE WORD " POLITE" EVEN FUCKING EXIST ANYMORE?
-Smoking where you shouldn' t be. I' m not gonna get on a high horse and say you shouldn' t be smoking. But today in the cafeteria, a girl was puffing away indoors! In-fucking-side the school cafeteria! I wanted to slap that bitch. Good God, I want to hurt something...
Another time, my ex-best friend decided he needed a smoke in a friend' s car when it was 40 degrees and raining outside. He was in the front passenger seat and I was directly behind him. Opens the window and puffs away. " Yo, can you put that shit out, it' s raining on me back here!" " Just a minute!" ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
-People that use me for fifteen years of my life as their " best friend," and then turn around and stab me in the back, through all the times I' ve helped them along, gave them company during the many times in the hospital (even New Year' s Eve in the hospital...). And it' s not only that, they try to pile on top of it that I' m the one responsible for the backstabbing. Well, all I can say is, don' t ever expect anything from me ever again.


Sorry, I just had to get that personal rant at the end out of the way.

You know what Rob, the more and more I see you post the more and more I think that we would have been best friends if we had grown up together

An acquaintance of mine who recently said to her friend " Did you hear the new Lil Kim song? The lyrics are soooooooo awesome!!"

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Open your ears Nicholas!

I HATE when that happens!!

When my email says:

SEND THIS TO 500000000000000 PEOPLE OR YOU WILL BE HAUNTED BY SATAN UNTIL YOU DIE AND THEN BURN IN HELL AND HAVE YOUR TESTICLES CHOPPED OFF EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK AND THEN YOULL HAVE TO EAT THEM FOR BREAKFAST LUNCH AND DINNER. If I don' t get this back, I will wish leprosy on your family and your little dog too!
