I work in sales… When somobody is outside smoking a cigarette then comes in without chewing gum or something to mask the stench it really pisses me off. They just had a smoke then 5 seconds later are one foot from my face… Just happened right now as a matter of fact.
When I am explaining something to a client then their fucking cell phone rings and keep me waiting… AH FUCK! This happens multiple times every day.
When I am explaining something to a client, someone comes in and just interups me and the client, my blood boils.
I think you need to get out of sales, you’re not cut out for it.
Two posts down, you mention you’re broke. Connect the dots.

I understand that a post from someone bitching about their job can be misleading. The fact of the matter is I’m one of those guys who spends pretty much all his budget of bodybuilding shit… I’m actually very good at what I do, well paid as well, when you add all the little perks and stuff, it’s all good. I mean I have friends who make 2-3x’s what I make and are alwways broke. I used to make on average in a day what I make in a week now, not so long ago… And was always broke. I actually have more money in the bank now, than back then believe it or not! So what’s your point? People with cash just create needs. If I didn’t have the massive chiro and massotherapie bills that I have to pay (this has been going on for over 2 years now) every other week and everything else in the bodybuilding, I would be fine. Some people gamble, some spend lots of money on clothes, some go to stip clubs… Being the greedy bastard I am most my funds go toward my body, I’m sure I will regret this later on, but what can you do?
Even people who love their jobs have alot of shit they don’t like about them, overall even on a bad day, when I evaluate everything that’s important to me, I’m happy with what I do. You will never meet anyone with less worries than be, believe me! Don’t forget, he who is the richest has the least amount of needs… Or is that something they say to make poor people feel better? All depends how you see things my friend.

*Retards who walk in front of you while they smoke.
Technically, aren’t you the one following them around? I mean, you don’t give them your itinerary and destination so that they can stay in front of you, do you?[/quote]
Technically, you are right. But I often wonder if all these retards don’t somehow get a hold of my itinerary for the day and plan this all out. They come out of buildings, round a corner and all happen to be a few steps in front of me smoking.
I’ll try to pass them if I can, rather than stay in their smoke trail. But isn’t that the reason why it’s a pet peeve, when others force you to change your routine? I don’t like to break stride or wait longer than I have to – do you? I’m just asking for breathable air.

I hate the homeless guy who uses the Starbuck’s I freqent for his morning elimination and grooming regimen. For some reason, he can’t help but get shit on the toilet seat, shit on the toilet handle, shit on the sink handle, shit on the sink, shit on the paper towel dispenser, shit on the inside door. I’m a freqent pee-er and every once in a while I have to urgently go while in Starbuck’s, and you can imagine the nightmare it is to cover all of that with napkins just for one tinkle. One day I’m going to snap and shout at him, “Stop Shitting all over the bathroom!!!”
Absolutely disgusting. I’d rather hold it and find some place else than having to go through that minefield.
Does this Starbucks only have a unisex toilet?
Yes, it only has one toilet that is unisex. Gross, eh?

Very gross. If the workers there also have to use the same toilet after that guy, I only hope they’re able to sanitize their hands properly before serving.
Oh I almost forgot. I’ve only had one person do this, but its enough to drive you insane. He’s the guy at the gym that has to use the word “fucking” before just about any word choice. Multiple times in a sentence, saying it real slow with a pause in the middle.
Really, its annoying for any particular cuss word. Get original man.
He’s telling a story like this to a guy at the gym I overheard once. “So I was working on my fuck-ing car the other day, and my fuck-ing wife came out and was fuck-ing with my tools. I said, what the fuck are you doing to my fuck-ing tools? Stupid bitch. She was trying to clean them up or something. So I said to her get the fuck out of here, can you fuck-ing believe that? Who messes with a man’s fuck-ing tools anyway? Fuck-ing women.” It goes something like that. So irritating and he’s a prick like that too.
People who say “Excuse You.” Like it’s them al ways with the right-of-way. I hate this so much I could trip somebody after I let them by. Sometimes I say,“Oh, pardon YOU.” I don’t think everyone who says this means to be rude, but it’s one of those things that is hard to mistake as what it is. Sort of like Confederate Flags. “Oh, I’m just a REBEL.” Against what? Not having segregation anymore? Slaves? Random lynchings?
People who use foul language in public, especially in front of children or on the golf course. On the golf course really angers me. I paid my money to enjoy the course and the play, and all I hear all day is some idiot yelliing F*** at the top of his lungs.
Most of my pet peeves can be found at the supermarket. For example, I hate it when there are no express lanes open and I have only 1 or 2 items and everyone else has done their weekly shopping. Or the old ladies in the express lane with 20 items who argue about 2 out of every 3 prices that get rung up. Or the cashier that doesn’t say a word to me, not even the total due. Or, this is my biggest pet peeve, when two cashiers are complaining about some aspect of their job ad nauseum while not acknowledging me as a paying customer.
My first “real job” was as a courtesy clerk (bagger and general grunt) at a large mid-atlantic supermarket chain. We had very strict standards of customer service. We got paid minimum wage, were not allowed to accept tips, had to wear a uniform (clip-on tie and cap) which I had to pay for, and had to smile and greet each customer coming and going.
I have no sympathy for a sour-puss store employee.

Amen, that drives me crazy as well. I actually stop reading put down the book or whatever I might be reading turn to them and say, “Since what you have to say is obviously more important than what I am trying to read, let me give you my undivided attention.” Which usually gets a response of sorry, I will wait. Which then pisses me off even more, cause I had to stop reading in the first place. Damn, just tell me what you have to say and go on. Even my kids and wife always do this to me. I found that the only place in the house I can read in peace is on the shitter.
Most have already been run into the ground but here are mine.
White Hommies…wearing G-Unit and/or FUBU with full medallions on chest and requisite SIDEWAYS hat, saying “yo G wasup?” …ARRGGGHHHH!! Sometimes I will just walk up to them and ask if they know their Damn hat is on sideways…Classic.
Theater talkers, annoying.
Tight clothes on not tight bodies.
Fat people saying “Hey man you are pretty buff, do you use Steeeroides or what?”
-I can’t stand when people don’t say thank you when you hold the door open for them, I feel insulted afterwards.
-Or those hopeless people who circle parking lots for hours waiting for someone to leave, I mean geeze, is it that difficult to walk half a minute longer to reach walmart?
-the angry drunk, people who get wasted and try to start fights with anyone, even with there closest friends
-Oh, and those stupid bitches on the sweet sixteen show, how can the parents let them get spoiled like that? One of the girls cried because her parents wouldn’t buy her a range rover because of her grades. they ended up buying it the day after, but she still complained that she didn’t get it on her b-day! I think Chuck Norris would agree with me when I say, they all deserve a roundhouse kick to the face.

What realy pisses me off is when these people come to the gym, circle for half an hour, then come in and get on the treadmill.

Same thing at the grocery store. You could park at the farthest corner of the parking lot and you’ll still wind-up doing way more walking inside the store than out.

I make a point of bringing my GIANT headphones and a copy of “Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” (1,500 pages long with a giant swastiks on the cover) on planes, and the jackhole next to me still wants to chat.
