#work pet peeves

Why are people so adamant about Alex being short for something and why is it their business what its short for?

I have a name tag at work and I constantly have people going "Oh, is it Alexis? Or Alexandria?" I usually say "just Alex" or just agree with them if they only said one name. But I do wonder what the reaction would be if I said "its Alexander actually"

Just wanted to let you guys know someone came into my work today and ask if I can make a macchiato into a frappé-

At least it wasn't someone asking for espresso but actually just wanted a simple brewed coffee ( but tried to argue with me over the freaking difference because apparently his usually cafe does it like that?? Choices, I guess 👀. just let me know where so I never go there ) again.

What is your biggest peeve about your job/employee?

I will start with my manager being an OCD paranoid pest at times! Especially this morning.

CNA/PCT pet peeves:

-RN asking me to bring a patient snacks when I’ve got a bedsheet, chucks, wipes, and a fresh gown all clutched in my arms like ancient treasures (I’m busy Tina do it yourself)

-RN going in and out of a room repeatedly around vitals time yet asking ME to get vitals (I’M BUSY TINA GET THE DAMN VITALS)

-RN not taking initiative in getting a patient to the bathroom (you have patient care under your scope too BRIAN you don’t have to wait ten minutes for me to be done)

-RN asking me to bladder scan a patient when I’m clearly in the middle of an admit

Work Pet Peeve #587:

Them: i want a #1, 2 #3s, a #6, and a #4.

Me, long sigh: okay, i have to go one at a time. What to drink for the #1?

Them: uhhhh. 3 Cokes, 1 Arnold Palmer, and. Uh. Root beer.

Me, holding onto my sanity by a mere thread: i have to go one at a time. Also was that #6 with crispy or grilled chicken

Them: actually 2 cokes and one diet. And only cheese and bacon on the number one!! Plain!!! Nothing else.

Me, stuck on the screen for the #6 because you cant back out until you finish ringing one item up: okay, one second. Was the #6 crispy or grilled.

Them: that’s it

Me, wondering if the fall from the roof will be enought to grant me the sweet release of death: WAS THE CHICKEN SANDWICH CRISPY OR GRILLED

Them: *pulls around*

So I work in the client care center for a car dealership. This mostly means that when you submit a lead wondering how much your car is worth on Autotrader.com or Kelly Blue Book, or submit any info to a website like Cars.com or Carguru for instance that I'm one of those people who will call you to get you to come in and either sell or trade in your car, or to buy a car, and I sincerely hope buy because I get paid off of that.

That being said, I have some pet peeves:

People who give a wrong number so I end up calling some poor soul who didn't ask for this and I wind up sometimes being screamed at.

People who ignore my phone calls, texts, and emails and then get mad at me when they do eventually pick up.

People who hang up on me as soon as I introduce myself.

People who set an appointment, never show up, and then ignore all of my attempts to contact them so I can find out why and either reschedule them or dead code them in the system.

People who contact me looking for our best price so they can try to screw over another dealership and waste my time.

People who ask for photos, all of this information, waste my time all fucking day, then refuse to come in because they live 100+ miles away.

What it boils down to is when these people are trying to contact you, if you aren't interested please communicate with them that you aren't interested as soon as possible. If you need to cancel, please fucking communicate with them on whether or not you would even like to reschedule or if you bought elsewhere. Be an adult. Treat us with respect. It is what you would want if you were in my position. If I can't get back to you right away, please understand that there is often only 1-4 people in my office covering 3 different locations on any given day and we have over 400 people to contact between us. We can't get to everyone.
