Little things that annoy you....

[tigertim]

Theage.com.au and realestate.com.au websites. They are almost unusable being so slow to load and reloading. Just awful to navigate. Is it because they are so graphic laden?

The Age is OK for me but the realestate ones are bad. Too much graphics as you mentioned.....just like the Hun.

Seems to be a new thing with some retailers for the salesperson to make a personal appeal for you to donate to a charity while purchasing your goods. Has happened twice this week, and while I was able to keep a straight face and say 'no', I was made to feel uncomfortable at giving the impression of being a tightarse. As a result I will no longer patronise these particular outlets (which is no great sacrifice as they aren't regulars).

Message to Officeworks and KFC - I give plenty. Cut it out.

Agree Lee. I do the same when using the supermarket checkouts.

Customer who ask for something and give this vague description of what you want and then get frustrated because you have no idea what they are on about.

"Hi, i am after that thing that you do the thing with and it rotates"

uhhhh what?

Hi ND do you work in an adult product shop? I'd be a bit vague as well when asking for a vibrator!

I did a similar thing at JB, went and asked for a Universal remote control and he asks me "what brand tv?" and I say "I dunno, its a cheap Asian brand that Ive never heard of before and cant recall right now" and he puffs out and shakes his head and scolds with "well I cant help you if I don't know the brand!".

But isn't that the point of the "Universal" remote control...it's Universal?

its not the vagueness that annoys me, its when they get pissed off that you have no idea what they are on about.

I get similar things working in hotels.

Someone walks in to reception

"I'm here to see joe blogs, can u tell me his room number"

I quickly check the PMS - "sorry sir/ma'am this person is not staying here/not checked in yet"

"Well, that's ridiculous, where are they?"


How would I *smile* know!!

[tigersnake]

Had to change my car insurance for a new car, transfer policy. Rang number on the policy letter, it was through my bank, they used to go through CGU now its allianz. Old policy renewed 6 moths ago and they told me that then. Anyway, I ring the number, get bank robot, select insurance option, get put through to CGU ? WTH ? 6 months! Operator says oh they don't go through us anymore, no sh!t! (didn't say that to her I was very polite as always)

Monash Freeway outbound on-ramp at Warrigal Road when the 'one-car-per-green-light' lights are on the queues are 30 or 40 cars deep and watching all the utes and cars speed past you in the transit lane because either (a) they are pretending to be a truck, (b) they are pretending they have passengers, (c) they are oblivious or (d) they simply think they are better than everyone else. Seriously around 80-90% of the vehicles that use that lane are taking the P155.
