What is some of your Pet Peeve's

People entering through exit doors. This happens all the time and they look at me like I'm in their way when I'm exiting through the correct door with a shopping cart.

People parking in no parking zones right in front of restaurants to pick up carryout food. Again, this happens all the time and there's usually a parking spot within 30 or 40 feet from there.

Oh no, don't you listen to the recording?

If you get the "Trell is aprooblbbblemm wistt uourr Macrosoft account," just ask which "Campus" they are calling from. It really bothers them, cause they don't know how MS is set up, or the internal language used. Its fun to listen to them try and recover. And definitely ask for a manager. Then, with out stopping, or interruption, tell them how bad your day is going, and what f-heads they are for cheating old people out of money. Never give remote access or do anything they say to type in. Its therapeutic and free in a way. Its like they don't know, they are providing a near free service to vent on. They were trying to cheat you. Turn it around and get some benefit from it.

I have a dumpster at my shop because when I had trucks on the road I generated more trash sometimes than a residential cart could handle. Now that I don't have the trucks, and I have cleaned out a lot of the truck paraphernalia, I only need a small container. I have called the trash company a few times, left voice messages, sent several emails, and have never gotten a response. Last time I had a billing problem, it was the same story. I ended up driving to their offices and finally getting to talk to a human. The service rep was a nice young lady, and she said she would issue a credit for the three months they failed to empty the dumpster and I ended up having to haul stuff to the county landfill. A couple of weeks later another bill came, no credit was issued. Went back to the office again, she apologized and said she would take care of it while I waited, and gave me a revised statement.
So it looks like it's going to be another trip to their office the get this accomplished.
Unfortunately, they are about the only game around here for refuse and trash disposal, so they don't have a lot of motivation to provide good customer service.
If I had a dump trailer, I would just fill it up and take it to the landfill when it's full, and tell the trash company to kiss my butt.

That's frustrating. And from the other side of the fence, that nice young lady may get frustrated being the face of such a company, and leave if she doesn't have family ties to it.

There is a certain brand of motorcycle that thinks they can park anywhere they want to, like no parking zones, handicap spot unloading hash marks, sidewalks.

I think we are people also.

$650 per year to have an alarm system and ADT expects ME to test their system every month and make sure it works. Especially irritating because you know they can run all the diagnostics they need remotely.
