PET PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE

[montereybride]

I have client who does this.

I ignore him. The last time he pulled this shit, I told my boss "I'm ignoring client x because he's called three times and hasn't left a message."

Then client x called my boss to complain that he hadn't gotten a call back. Boss asked if he left a message.

Client x called me about two minutes later and left a message, lol.

I friggen hate this.

Or another pet peeve. People who email me about something and then call before I can even fucking reply to their email. I just spent 10 MINUTES replying back to you all formal and you end up CALLING ME!!!! What the f!

RAGE. When they call me right back, the receptionist will come in here and tell me so and so needs to talk to you IT'S URGENT! No, bitch, nothing in my job is that important. Be calm.

No context conversations people...

"Boss sent a text and asked how many. Do you know?" Fucks? Because I have zero of those. IDK WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!

"He is going to come at 10 to sign the documents and pick up the boxes." Who? Date? What documents? What boxes? RAGE! I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHY YOU TALK THIS NONSENSE! I HAVE NO CONTEXT!

I'm so glad that I hardly ever talk to people on the phone at my job. Corresponding though is so much easier.

And I have become a huge fan of the do not disturb feature on my work phone.

Those people are the worst. Also the worst, people who leave 5 minute long voice mails that are all ramble-y and then when it's time to leave a call back number they either forget or say it so fast I have to listen to the message two more times to catch it.

I don't understand why this is so fucking common. I hate it.

It annoys me when people leave really vague voicemails like - just give me a call when you get this. Really? How about you tell me wtf you want so I can decide whether or not it's necessary to call back? My mom does this a lot and I always wonder if something terrible happened and she just didn't want to say it in a voicemail. Then I call her back and (thankfully) it's always something trivial.

Also annoying: calling, listening to my voicemail recording and then hanging up. So when I listen to your message, I hear "CLICK!"

The best thing that ever happened was when they added call ID to our phones at work about a year ago. BEST. THING. EVER.
