You know what is SOOO annoying

You know what is SOOO annoying

when clients email me something, and then call to tell me they emailed me something. Or call and tell me something that they just emailed me. Um - I am perfectly capable of checking my email (and am quite an anal -email checker) !

Or I have one client who will call to tell me he is emailing me something, and will then email it while I am on the phone (he details how he is attaching the attachment, and when he presses send) - and won't hang up till I tell him I received it!

UGH - and I thought I was anal retentive!

ETA: Feel free to post whatever is annoying you today. It is Tuesday after all - the second worst day of the week

Yeah, I'm not having issues with coworkers lately - I'm having issues every morning with Starbucks. I'm 'ideologically opposed' to standing on line 20 people deep just for a chai latte. And I refuse to walk down the block to the two other Starbucks locations.

ING sux!!!!!

They make you make up a 6 number PIN, and then ask for a 'memorable date'. Now I know what my two dates are, but I don't remember which is which. PLUS, I'm so screwed up with my American vs. English dates (ie, English dates have day before month) that the three tries they give you don't allow for all of the possible date combinations and I've been locked out of my accuont!!!!!

Now, they have to send me my old account via snail mail to my old address (I was trying to change my address with them). So, NOW I have to break inot some poor guy's apartment just to get my freakin' PIN! Now tell me how the heck is taht SECURE?

I hate when clients call & just say this is xxxx yyyy. Please call me back)

umm, no.

I can't call you back if I am not prepared to discuss something with you. You're not my BFF. I'm not calling you back to chat.

I have one -- my designer screwed me over and left before I got back from my honeymoon so I've been alone and so far behind. I got an email asking me to compile financial info of 400 people over the last 4 years, spreadsheet, charts, graphs. By Thursday.

I sent back a sarcastic email. Screw you, azzhole!!

Okay, I feel better now.

I hate the ever-present Starbucks line - and I always am like person #8 and then suddenly the line vanishes. I have the worst Starbucks timing ever. Plus the other day the person in front of me (random un-Starbuckized Lady) was asking all these questions about the different options for like 5 minutes and then she ordered a black coffee! - then she final got her receipt and she went back to ask a question about her receipt

On a side note: Fh hates Starbucks. He is still hung up on the fact that the sizes are tall, grande and venti - he thinks it is pretentious

One of my favorite Overheardinnewyork.com submissions is:

customer: a hot coffee please.
cashier: huh?

It took place at Starbucks

Oh, I so agree! Starbucks just pisses me off!

I think they have some nerve charging some much for coffee! Not to mention shortchanging the coffee farmers of the world!
