Pet Peeve of the Day

Can I add to this?

People who send an email...then get up and walk to my desk to tell me "I just sent you an email" then start explaining what their email says. Hello....I think you might be missing the point!

My rule is you have 24 hours max, then you go on my sheet list.

You do not want to be on that list.

Totally agree with you DD.

I return calls and emails once a week for business. :razz:

Scooty, I like this rule. I pretty much feel the same. Unfortunately, I still have to deal with the people on the sheet list even when I'm pissed off. Ugh.

I like to return some calls right away. Other times I let assholes wait. 😀

Oh hail. Maybe my non-returners are thinking the same thing as you!!!!!:blink:

Me too, but they lose the privledges and protection that come with NOT being on that list.

Ok. I likey.

Cold fries and warm beer!

I'm sure I'm on the "sheet" list of everyone who has emailed me in the past month. Getting ready for the trip to Australia, being in Australia, and then recovering from jetlag has made my inbox get so big that it is intimidating me. :yikes:

BR, you have an excuse and anyone who's your friend knows that. I'm talking about people with whom I do business and have a NEED to speak to. The sonsa*****es.

Pet Peeve of today: People who are CONSTANTLY late. Always. No exceptions.

The watch is an invention of the ruling class.

Tropical Storm Lee. No-good lousy #%!$@!

oops, DD, I'm always late. but usually not more than 5 minutes. it is just how it goes. at least I do show up to meetings and appointments, etc. I have friends who are adamant (and self righteous) about being punctual but who will also completely blow off an appointment because they "forgot" - no calendar skillz. I don't forget about appointments with friends or professionals. But, I am 1-5 mintues late - normally - sometimes more. I do not know why - it started with becoming a mom and became habit. I can handle being your Pet Peeve! ruff ruff!

Hey Mental: I love Tropical Storm LEE!!! he is a wonderful kind of storm.

My darling Tootsie:

You are excused--because I love you. The peeps who prompted the whole peeve are peeps I work with. Grrrr.

I am happy to see you no matter what time you show up.:wub:

Affectionately,
DD

Fast food restaurants that ask you if you'd like ketchup. DD: "yes please".
Fast food person: "how many would you like?"
DD:"Crap, I don't know!! Two or maybe three?"
Oh the pressure!!!! I remember the days when they didn't ask, they just gave it to you. I realize they are trying to cut down on cost and waste, but I never know how much I'm really going to need. The same with Splenda packets. And, don't even get me started on that place I never go except one time when I was really desperate for coffee and they added my cream FOR me!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Thank you. I feel better now.

Ditto on folks who don't respond to email in business!!
