Well that is a good thing for you because people like in depth conversation as opposed to Arnold Swartsanegger oneliners.

Yeah, so, obviously you didn't or your reply wouldn't have been "I got that". Or, you did get it and were just making a funny.

Well. in that case let us pile all our complete thoughts. brainstorm frantically and use what we have attained in that period of time and using our keyboard, type it in to add meaningful insight to the board.

Seriously I need some sleep havent slept in 48 hours and I am falling over.

Your link did not work. Now that I have a 3 yr old I just give her the junk mail and she loves to open it up. Heck, she can entertain herself for up to an hour playing with junk mail so now we like getting junk mail. She even once scribbled all over one and some how got it into the return envelope so I mail it back.

I bought toys for my son last year from Amazon that didn't come with the box, it was cheaper that way.

BTW- Try opening a toddler's toy now a days out of the original, good lord what pain! Can't wait for Xmas.

This ALWAYS happens to me. Happens to me too when I'm in the movie theater too.

For those that deal with customers on the phone a lot, how about when people call and leave a message and either talk so fast you can't write their number down without listening to the message 3 times or they don't leave a number at all. I love it.

That's a huge pet peeve of mine. People talk slow through the message and then turn into [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzbUPfoveok]John Moschitta[/ame] when giving out a phone number. I always make sure to enunciate each number so I know there is no confusion.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

I'm really ready to go off the deep end this morning. One of my co-workers has been listening to that Eminem & Lil Wayne song on a constant loop for the last 2 days. I'm not kidding, over and over and over and over. Oh and once in a while she mixes in that Eminem & Rihanna song for a change of pace. 2 songs, 2 days.

Holy F.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

Big gurls where i work who count calories, talk about losing weight 24/7, try different diets, use the stairs instead of the elevator, etc and then everyday at lunch put in to order out chicken wings from b-dubs, or pizza, or chinese food, and then ask to eat someones snacks like doritos, chocolate etc. The true gear grind then are the comments after they cheat. "i shouldnt done that", "ill eat a salad for dinner", etc.

I hate that too. Either lose weight and be serious about it, or don't and stop fooling yourself. You just know they aren't eating that salad later on either. They'll make another excuse and say I'll start tomorrow.

We have a some what fat girl in our office who is always saying crap like that and she wears one of those step measures on her belt as that some how helps.

Anyways when we go out to lunch or run an errand we always buy like the cheap Wal-Mart cookies or some candy and shove it on the community table.

She is always like "OH god who bought these??" Then all you hear are cookie monster like sounds as she eats the box of them. Only difference between her and cookie monster is she leaves NO crumbs behind.

Her name is Heidi D. we call her HD. So we talk about her right in front of her face and she thinks we are talking about TV's. It is so funny!

BTW- she is a know it all type so this is why we really pick on her not really becasue of her weight it is just an easy target.

lol...yeah see in my office when the big gurls start spewing that nonsense I mention above, I sometimes will make a comment out loud of "I dont know why you say stuff like that, your dont really need too". That does 2 things:

1. Gives me and some of the guys in the surrounding area something to quietly laugh about on microsoft office communicator for half the day

2. To the more attractive, Ef-able gurls in the area, its either a joke to some as well or the others its lets them know Im a nice guy

the key is not to sound like a d-bag. if it comes out d-bag, it can be a fail

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

I don't want to make like it's just the women either, they are plenty of guys in my office that eat themselves into a food coma on a regular basis, they just don't pretend to be on diets.

We've got this one older dude who always falls asleep in meetings, and I swear half the day he sleeps at his desk. Maybe it's because for a typical lunch he has 3 slices of thick crust pizza, 2 slices of cheesecake, and washes it down with a liter of soda, and then snacks on cookies and candy all day?

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

We got a guy at the office who talks a lot. This guys has nothing to do 6 hours out of 8 during the day and so he is constantly making cube calls. You would be working and there he is sighing next to your cube trying to get your attention. We call him "The Word Monster" and we take turns to feed him a few words and then pass him on to the next cube.

One of my buddies was like that, we called him the wanderer, he was always just floating around the office bugging everyone.

Also reminds me of the people that talk on the phone all day or are outside smoking and then have the balls to complain how busy and backed up they are.

That is the issue with the big gurl I mentioned either she will come by and tell you how her 3 year old is the next JC or how yo ushould be doing something her way. It is so annoying.

One guy in my office said it is like the scene from Airplane when people are killing themselves from boredom when he is telling his life story.


Another thing is folks who come in on their own "hours" like work 6-2 when the office is open 8 to 5 or they skip lunch hours all week and leave at 2 on Friday, yet their phone still rings and we have to help their govt customers, so annoying!

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

My office used to be really relaxed with work hours, they just recently put an end to that though. Probably for the best as people used to just come and go as they pleased and took insanely long lunches. You know the usual give people an inch and they take a mile.

That is what is happen!

I want to leave at 3 today (sons daycare is having a dad day) and I never do this or rarely and when I ask my boss he rolled his eyes and said don't make it a habit and then followed up with I know you don't but some.

ME and my buddy joke some are like rolling out 8 when we are coming in, "oh yeah I came in at midnight done for the day."

In case anyone is wondering, that Eminem and Lil Wayne song is still going. It's been No Love non-stop today. Un-freaking-believable.

I went to ATL to attend a wedding the last few days. If there's any industry that really knows how to nickel and dime you it's the car rental business. Renting a car for two days costs $36.70 USD but the fees take the cost to another level. Here is how Hertz fee's break down:
[LIST][*]Airport concession fee recovery ($4.51) - This fee is to reimburse Hertz for concession fees paid to the airport (hotel or train station) for each rental.[*]Vehicle Licensing Cost Recovery ($2.94) - This fee is for Hertz' recovery of the proportionate amount of vehicle registration, licensing and related fees applicable to a rental.[*]Customer Facility Charge ($10.00) - The Airport requires that all car rental companies collect this fee. The money collected is used to pay for new car rental facilities.[*]Energy Surcharge ($1.03) - The costs of energy needed to support our business operations have escalated considerably. To offset the increasing costs of utilities, bus fuel, oil and grease, etc., Hertz is separately imposing an Energy Surcharge.[/LIST]
Total Fees: $18.48


So f'cking disgustingly annoying.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

I was supposed to close on my new house on Nov 2

My rental home ended Nov 7

We didnt close by the Nov 7

I rented a truck, put all our stuff in it

Im staying at my parents house in Mont Co

My lady is staying at a friends in balt city

i have a 2.5 cm hole in my stomach that i have to go to drs every 2 days to re-open until completely drained which leaves blood/ooze stains on just about every white t shirt

my lender now cant tell me when we can expect to close (sounds like a few weeks away at best for him)

i have just gotten another lender who says she can do it in 2 weeks (thats the good part, getting another lender and starting process from scratch 10 days after seller expected us to close!)

my 5 yr old dog has a torn meniscus and he becomes limp in his rt leg when it gets cold

my parents are very very cheap, they dont turn on the heat in the house

i've had to carry my dog up and down stairs as well as thru doorways

my parents dont have cable, the tv in the room I lived in in HS doesnt have a convertor box so i watch crappy dvds, then all the behind the scene stuff

my car broke down a week ago so instead of my benz (its a 1999 but i love it) i am driving an old 4 cylinder camry

i only brought enough clothes for a few days at my parents b/c i thought i would be in my new house by now so im wearing dress shoes/clothes from my HS days

on top of all this, im a big drinker and IVE BEEN ON F'IN ANTIBIOTICS FOR 3 WEEKS NOW AND STILL HAVE 6 DAYS TO GO (which is partly my fault b/c i did a beer a day under my first anti cycle hence why im put back on)

tonight my mom and i are going to unload the truck and return it since im paying $36/day and it doesnt make sense to rack up a 800 truck rental bill since im not closing until Nov 30

i really just wish i could crack some cold ones . . .

Yeah just give me the real price. Don't tell me the car is $25/day when in reality it's going to cost me $40. F... fees.

If I didn't have my son on my own tonight cause the wife is going out I'd burn one in your honor, I guess I have to kill a couple ****ers in your honor when I get on the Duty.

Wow !
