The most annoying people...

[MrMan]

Ok so i was at work tonight, behind the bar in a popular restaurant. It was just me and another guy as the third bloke we were supposed to be working with had just not turned up for some reason. It started to get busy, as it does on Saturday nights, and soon the bar was rammed and so was the restaurant.

About an hour into this busy period i notice a woman at the end of the bar waving at me, so i finished serving someone and walked over to her. She leaned over the bar and said "Now what is your name young man", so i gave it to her. She asked for the name of my workmate too. Turns out she wanted to complain to my manager about the lack of service, when she'd been at the bar for all of 5 mins. I did nothing at the time, but thinking back on it i wish i'd have said something.

I would've told her to look around at how busy it was, there was around 100 people in the restaurant and another 20-30 at the bar. And two bar staff. Thats 130 odd drinks to make, whilst running low on glasses, and with cocktails on the menu that take at least 2 or 3 minutes to make. I mean, sorry, but if she'd put herself in my place for a minute she would've seen i was trying my best to serve everyone and that a short wait to be served was perfectly reasonable.

Sorry to go on this little rant but the more i think about it the more it riles me, i should've told that impatient, stressed out cow what for and i'm pretty angry at myself for not doing so, nothing i can do about it now, so i'd thought i'd share it with you guys and ask:

What is the most annoying aspect you've found to be of 'people' in general? Something that really gets you going...

 

[xLostx]

**** her, times like that i would like to say **** off and go die. i work retail at an electronics store and when its super busy you just get people standing there looking at you, then after awhile they begin to get impatient even tho they can see you're already helping someone, if im walking by i'll say somethin like i'll be with you after im done helping these ppl or i'll try to find someone to help you, then theres the people who just walk up and ask me something while im already speaking to someone, that really bothers me. so in conclusion, people are retarded.

I agree. You should have hopped the bar and literally f*cked her.

cries* lol OWNED! Don't worry you'll be as good as us, i mean me one day. oopsy! wow i'm nasty to you tonight.

On topic, i find people wanting to talk about themselves all the time, and going out their way to talk about themselves, to make you feel bad really annoying. If i'm talking to someone, i will ask about them, and take an interest, as i expect them to do to me. I dislike it when people love talking about amazing they are. You'll get your chance, and i'd respect it's a normal convo, but now they've ruined it by bragging, and i just think they are losers.

First rule of any service job: the customer is NEVER right :E

 

[hool10]

Check out this 911 call here: http://home.comcast.net/~bandit987/burger.wma I used to work at Jiffy Lube. My job was to clean the carpets of the customers car before the car's oil change was done. It really pisses me off when the person would want there SUV completely cleaned of there shedding dog. Or the dad who gets angry when you don't clean all the honey nut cheerio's off his van carpet when he should stop his son from throwing it everywhere. I mean the carpet smelt horrible, like honey from the cheerio's. One of the guys there told me that a long time ago a guy was changing oil in the pit. He suddenly had a heart attack and they called 911. The ambulance truck had a hard time getting in because its a tiny place. But the customers were trying to maneuver there way around the ambulance truck to get in line for there oil change. And when they were told to go somewhere else because they had to examine the scene for insurance purposes the people didn't understand them. They asked why they could'nt get the oil change even though the guy who was doing the oil change just had a heart attack! People are jerks and you will understand this thread if you worked in a crappy place like Jiffy Lube or McDonalds. People never change really. :frown:

Tho only time the customer is ever right is when the effort to prove them wrong involves more effort on your part than pretending they're right.

Actually, check that. The customer is always stupid.

Working in a grocery store, I have met my fair share of stupid people. The worst are those who sneak in with 5 minutes until closing, grab a large cart, and just shop like it's nobody's business. With that said, I have a wonderful story of a crazy woman.

All of the above apply. About 10 minutes after we are closed, she finally comes up to the register and starts to pile on stuff. I shrug off any "pissed" feelings and begin the scanning. Audrey, one of the assistant managers, is helping me sack the items. While she's doing that, the woman goes "Oh, I forgot to get milk. Uh, could you get it for me?" looking at Audrey. She begins to walk off, and the woman says "Make sure it's Vitamin D, half-gallon! *10 seconds* Oh, and can you grab some butter!? *10 seconds* Oh, and some eggs!"

I continue to scan shit, and I notice that she runs off back into the aisles. A couple minutes later, she comes back with 4 or 5 more things. Once I get everything scanned, she comes up to pay, and I tell her how much it came to. As she is counting her money, she says "Ugh, I feel so dirty! Oh well, I guess it still spends the same." As she hands me the money, she informs me that I "better wash my hands after handling the money". Whatever.

Right after I give her the change, she realized that she needs parmesan cheese. "You wouldn't be upset at me if I ran back to get some parmesan cheese, would you?"
"...No, go ahead."

Audrey and I share a stare and just sigh. She comes back with the cheese, and 2 more things. I ring them up, and she pays for them. As she is, she asks "Is your name 'Reesey'?" (It's spelled Reese) "No, it's Reese, just like the candy."

"Oh, that's so awesome! My name is (whatever the hell she said), something-something-e-something-e-e. We both have three 'E's in our name, we should get married!!" I just handed her the change and didn't say much of anything to her after that.

Finally she left, and Audrey tells me that this isn't the first time she has come in. One time, Audrey told me that she came in with a neon-green tank top, neon-pink tight pants, checkered neon-green neon-pink knee-high socks, and neon-pink shoes.
She's also apparently come in wearing nothing but a sports bra and VERY short shorts. And the kicker is what she told Audrey one time. Now, Audrey isn't fat at all. She just has a big body. The woman told her that she *needs* to stop eating.

Is it legal to kill someone if it's good for society?

I used to work at a movie theatre. Oh man are people dumb. Here is a typical conversation.

Me: Hi, how may I help you?
Them: I would like a large popcorn with lots of butter.
Me: Alright, the butter is self-serve and that will be $5.00
Them: Oh, alright well umm could you just put some on top?
Me: No...it is self serve...over there *points*
Them: Oh alright
*I get their popcorn*
Me: Alright...$5
Them: Is there butter on this?
Me: No...it is self-serve
Them: Oh alright *pays*
Me: Thank you, enjoy the movie

*15 mins later*

Them: Yeah, I ate half this popcorn and the guy didn't even put butter on it when I asked for it, I want a refund.


Idiots, I am not even joking when I say that is typical. I have had much worse too. People are unbelievably dumb.

 

[CyberPitz]

Every 5 years people need to take a common sense test. You fail it, you're thrown into a pit with a bunch of other idiots, and die of hunger. Sure people in there would turn into cannibals, but that is entertainment for us more intelligent folk.

 

[CrazyJeepDriver]

I agree fully with Cyperpitz!

 

[Lemonking]

oh boy I hope I can tell crazy stories. If I work at Target soon

Working in a Computer Store

Jerk : I'd like to buy game x please
Me : Sure thing, you've read the specifications and your machine can run this? I ask becuase we won't allow you to trade this, and you can only get a refund if the product is faulty.
Jerk: Yes.
Me : Allright thats x cash
Customer pays

Next day
Jerk : This doesn't work on my machine for not having x ammount of ram or whatever. I demand a refund
Me : Sorry can't help you there.
Jerk : This is Bullshit etc

Rant continues for 10 minutes until the manager turns up.

Manager : From what I've been told sir your computer doesn't meet the requirments for this product. Have you thought of upgrading recently, as we can help you there?"
Jerk : No I don't want to upgrade my ****ing computer I want my ****ing money back!!!"
Manager : Okay I think you should leave
Jerk : (continues ranting)
Manager : If you don't leave NOW! I'm going to have to call the police.
Jerk : Fine

The guy throws the game full force at the wall behind me and leaves. It was one of those dodgy plastic cases and it shattered all over the place.

 

[clarky003]

holly crap, defiantely a jerk.. did he look like a jerk? what a jerk.

 

[Beerdude26]

die of hunger

They're too dumb for that.

EDIT : The jerk at the computer store got pwned.

 

[CyberPitz]

They're too dumb for that.

Then we'll just have to help then with the death part....:sniper:

 

[Beerdude26]

Then we'll just have to help then with the death part....:sniper:

No need. Just throw in a book of matter/antimatter in there, and one guy will start to read it, which will cause his head to explode.
Repeat.

 

[Kyorisu]

Merley douse them in lighter fluid and hand them a box of cigs and a lighter.

Then Run.

we could use them for weapons testing......

I worked in a co-op, which is basically a big supermarket, and they do this dividend scheme, where you swipe a card they get money, blah blah. So anyway this indian woman comes in, she buys a shit load of stuff, i scan it through, everythings fine, take her money. Then she goes, oh you didnt swipe my dividend card, ofcourse she didnt give me it, but its my fault.... So I go, oh, ring this number they'll put them on...Then she says its not her shopping and stuff, so she asks me to refund everything (she bought about 40 things!!!) for 34pence worth of dividend, i said i didnt have time and she got all arsey took everything out of bags, and sat at the counter, so i just told her to **** off, and ring the number. It was that day I quit.....

Be sure you throw in a ladder and see what happens. Then when they die because they were too stupid enough to use it, say that it wasn't intent to kill because you were "trying to help them". And I hated when a person would come in the last 5 min and want a tire rotation, oil change, etc, etc. And then your assistant manager would tell you that you could'nt go home even though the place closes at 6. :bonce: Maybe thats why he was threatened (by other co-workers) of being shot to death or stabbed because nobody liked him. :|

I worked in a sub/sandwich shop in a grocery store, and while the grocery store is open 24 hours, the sub shop closes at 7. I worked evenings, mainly just closing and cleaning up which takes a while. So one night it was about 9 and I was just about finished cleaning, when a man walks up and asks me to make him a sub. Now mind you I have all of the counters cleaned and sterilized, and all of the knives and stuff were washed and drying. I tell him that the sub shop is closed, and then he says in the most whiney voice I've ever heard an adult use, "But I'm really hungry". I point him to the premade sandwiches which were right in front of him, but he insists on the sub. I tell him that everything has been cleaned up and put away for the night and there is nothing I can do for him, and then go back to sweeping. He then goes to my manager (who was just about to clock out) and asks her to make me make a sub. She tells him the same thing I did, and then he goes on some rant about how worthless the store was and leaves. I don't know who started the mantra that the customer is always right, but they should be shot.

 

[MrMan]

Its bollox isn't it. I wouldn't mind making a restaurant where the staff treat the customers as they are treated themselves. It would obviously be stated outside the restaurant what customers should expect, and it'd be their choice whether or not to eat there. If they are arsey, the waiters are arsey too. Oh and tips wouldn't be optional, that's a rule for tight bastards who think that waiters actually enjoy giving up their free time to serve them dinner

 

[DannyC.]

Heh heh, pretty good stories, guys. Hearing about the many morons in society never ceases to amuse me.

 

[xLostx]

Today this asian guy comes up to me and is like I was this Toshiba MX-40 and this Gateway laptop, so im like alright let me get them out of the cage(all our laptops are kept in a cage in the warehouse)but b4 i go to the warehouse he sees a tag for one of our open box laptops a Toshiba A20 which is about a 3 year old model, so he's like i'll take this one instead of the M40 if you have it, so i call the floor manager and get him to let me into the cage, I get the Gateway but cant find the open box laptop, my manager says go check the display and in the tech room. I do so and cant find it so I tell the asian guy i cant find the A20, he's like go look again, im like i already look every where and its not here so do you still want the M40? he's like uhh i guess so. so I get let back into the cage and get the M40 and go back to him and start ringing everything in when he tells me he doesnt want the M40 any more so im like holy ****...so i ring in the Gateway and he's like i dont have my visa card but i know the number im like uhh i cant do just the number, i need to either swipe the card or take an imprint, so he gets all mad and calls his wife and tells her to bring in his visa card, but there will be a 20 minute wait. so I put the Toshiba back into the cage but keep the gateway with me, but the thing is you cant just leave a laptop around because someone could just pick up and steal it. so i went into the tech room and was going to tell the tech im leaving the laptop there until the customer comes back to pay, but he was on the phone so i waited but then another customer came up to me and asked me some retarded question then the phone rang so i answered that and i left the gateway at my feet behind the counter, so i went to check the schedule to see when a co-worker worked next, i was gone for maybe 20 seconds, if that. and when i got back the laptop was gone i was like wtf didnt i leave it here? so i ended the call and the asian guy came back so i was like wtf wheres the laptop then a senior saleman i work with comes up and is like where'd the gateway go i was like i dunno where it went and he's like i saw a customer behind the counter, they must have stole it. im like holy shitttt so my co worker is like come with me lets go tell the manager so he's like tell him what you did. im like uhh that laptop i had is missing, and of course he got quite pissed, so i was like give me a second let me go look for it so i look for a few mins then go into the tech room and im like hmm and look behind the door, and boom theres the gateway im like who put this here? travis the tech was like i dont know...but that was bs so i went and got the customer and got him to pay for it, and he was a dick to me again. so my co-worker was like you found it? im like yeah it was in the tech room...and you put it there. he's like i did it to teach you a lesson, leave a laptop alone again and i'll have you fired, im like i was gone for not even half a minute. i can understand the "lesson" but it pissed me off really bad and at the time with a dickhead customer waiting, i wasn't impressed. so yeah thats my rant lol.

What, its not their free time, its their job. Its not like they're like, oh I know i'll wait today! Because I have free time, but i expect pay... ¬¬..

 

[MrMan]

Well ok, but a job takes up free time, and yes they get paid but i don't think £4.50 an hour is really worth it

 

[pr0nking]

Get a better job then..

 

[alehm]

What, its not their free time, its their job. Its not like they're like, oh I know i'll wait today! Because I have free time, but i expect pay....

What he is saying- is waiters who serve people for food and don't get tipped essentially worked for free. That is a good reason to get pissed off. I don't know anyone who after working at their job and their company decided not to pay them on payday would be pissed off too.

 

[alehm]

Get a better job then..

ROTFL. How about- if someone doesn't want to pay tips go eat at McDonalds then.

People who look for ways to skip out on tipping are the problem, not the waiters.

There are 2 solutions to the problem.

Have resturants pay the waiters a better salary and eliminate tips. This would effectivly increase the price of food.

Bring tips back to its original form.. tips means "To Insure Proper Service" and the customer pays the tip upfront before ordering food. This way, the better they tip upfront the better service they get from the waiter. gg

 

[MrMan]

Agreed with Alehm

 

[Dynasty]

hehe well if you want to meet stupid people on the job then be a paintball marshall like me...guaranteed retards.

here is just a TASTE of what ive had happen to me.

- (in the woods) 'Marshal give that guy a paint check!!'
'Where is he mate?!'
'Behind that tree over there!'

- just after the start of the first game, a woman is sitting behind a bunker right infront of me. turning toward me, she shouts:
'Theyre shooting at me! what should i do!?'
'Shooting back might help madam' and laughed so it didnt seem like an insult
'But why?.....'

- 'Marshal my gun isnt working!'. so i run across the field, getting lit up along the way i might ad, and take his marker. did the quick checks such as gas, paint in the gun, turned upside down and fired, then took the bolt out and looked down the barrel. there was a f*cking stone wedge just infront of the feedneck. he had put a stone in the hopper to fire it!!!

and my personal favourite:

Thunderflash pyrotechnics (stick that makes a very loud bang basically) requires the cap to be taken off, flint struck with the top of the cap and then be thrown straight away. so one woman takes the cap off mid game, lights the thunderflash and then throws the cap.....BANG! 3 minutes later shes in an ambulance being rushed off to hospital.

god i love my job :E
