Hey here's an idea, Mr. Project Manager. How about you let me and the other developers on this project know that the Proof Of Concept at the customer site has been put on hold more than THIRTY MINUTES BEFORE IT'S SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.
This thing's been scheduled for over a month. I killed myself yesterday making sure everything was just right. My wife is dead sick and the only reason I'm even in the freaking office today is this POC, which you politely tell us through email is on hold THIRTY FREAKING MINUTES BEFORE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO START. And the only reason that happened was because one of us contacted you asking for contact info. Had we not done that, would we have just sat here twiddling our thumbs all day waiting for this to start? You're only job, ONLY JOB, is to be on top of these kinds of things and let us, the developers, know the schedule. I even skipped lunch to make sure I was ready for this too. Ugggg.

I'm so sorry my one little e-mail caused you to have to get off your ass and do your job.

Consequences from others decisions can really be a beach...politics are not a game were we root for one side or the other, yet some seem to not give a darn about what happens when fools are put in charge and gain a majority, yet the people they represent actually have a different view of the decisions they should be making.

I think e-mailing me 4 hours ago doesn't justify you walking into my office and demanding to know why I haven't returned your e-mail.
Damn you Blackberry/Iphone/smart phone people that have totally changed everyone's expectations about e-mail response time. Damn you all to hell.

Stop yelling out "I solved the problem!" when all you did was to issue a ticket, something a trained monkey could do in 3 seconds, and probably with less mistakes than you.

Damn you, McDavid Honda of Frisco. It's been over two years, and you still send me emails no matter how many times I implore you to stop.
Why does buying a car have to be the start of a relationship? I told them when I wrote them a check for the full amount that I never wanted to hear from them again. Buying a car should be like...like buying a hammer. Home Depot doesn't call me and email me every seven days to ask me if I want to trade in my hammer for a newer hammer.

I will help you adjust your screen resolution, you flipping idiot, when I finish what I'm working on currently, and that YOU know I'm working on currently. I'm not stopping because you can't follow simple instructions on how to do it yourself.

Okay, so you opened up my computer and your network drives aren't there? Dont freak out, nothing happened to them. Your data is safe. You just need to reboot your god damn computer before calling me next time. I keep telling you to reboot your computer before calling. The vpn tunnel closed, no big deal. Just reboot and the tunnel will come back up. |

The guy with the office across the hall from mine frequently ends his phone conversations with (and in the thickest, trashiest redneck accent) "Alright, let me drop some of these dirty kids off at the pool and I'll holler right back at ya."
So.... That's got to stop.

are you kidding? Ugh.
At my office, people frequently answer the phone while in the bathroom (urinal or stall), and even worse, sometimes they are actually the one making the phone call! Why in the hell do you think the person on the other end of the call wants to hear your bodily functions?

Speaking of which:
Don't talk to me while I'm at the urinal. Ever. No, it isn't ok. I use the furthest urinal so that I avoid this. My reply to all of your questions during this time will be "I don't know, I'm peeing right now." Spare yourself and spare me.

Dangit...at some point last night my F12 key flew right off my laptop. I should be able to push it back in, but I push and I push....and nothing. I can't think of single time I've used the F12 key....oh well.

So i get a call from my bank today because of some suspicious charges on my credit card. Someone rang up $200, $250, and $600 with a cloned card at gas stations in ohio and pennsylvania (I live in TN).
So i'm ranting cause: A) I have no idea how this happened. My CC is only out of my sight briefly when i pay at restaurants, so it had to have happened then. So that really, really rubs me the wrong way. B) What the hell can you buy with $600 at a gas station??? Just lottery tickets? C) Now i have to update everything that auto-drafts from my CC I do give lots of credit to my bank, though. They caught it early and are wiping out the charges.

I hate Chase banks. Every freaking time I go in there I just want to make a deposit and get out of there, but one of those f*ckers sitting at the desks says "oh hey I'll take care of you over here" so I say "no, I'm really in a hurry" which they respond with "oh ya we'll get it done quick".
So I go sit over there and he checks the account / checks / cash / whatever and puts it in a bag to have someone take it BEHIND the counter where I wanted to freaking go in the first place. While she's taking her sweet ass time getting my receipt he goes on to ask me about my address and phone numbers (which I've verified every time in there) and woah good news for me..GUESS WHAT FF1, YOU'RE QUALIFIED FOR THEIR NEW CREDIT CARD. Do you want to hear about the possible reward programs? Do you want to sign up for this? How bout that? NO THANKS. To top it all off I'm purposely being a dick about checking my watch every 3 seconds obviously signaling that I'm still "really in a hurry" and it doesn't change a damn thing. Is it really unreasonable to expect to go into a bank every time without this crap? I just want to make a deposit. Apparently you can deposit checks at their ATMs now which I will probably start doing, but still.. it's just stupid to make this process so awful.

Going into a bank is a completely foreign concept to me. I have been inside of a bank exactly once in...oh...five years? Maybe longer? And that was specifically because I had to talk to one of the special people at the pretty desks.
You've been able to deposit checks at at ATM's for years. Hell now you can deposit checks with your smartphone at some banks. Also, at the very worst...drive through?

Still, the process inside shouldn't be like that. If I want to talk to someone about my account I'll ask for it. If I want to deposit a check to a bank teller I should be able to do that and JUST that.
