People that bug you...

Post by millenniumtree »

Just a bit of venting today...

There are some people I just can't stand.

People who say they are the CEO of their company, when they're actually the only employee, and the company they own is just a catalog sales franchise.

People who keep trying to sell you stuff, and talking about how great their products are, when it's obvious you don't want to buy the energy drinks they're pushing.

People who think they have way more experience than they actually do, and talk down to you because "It's OK if sometimes you don't understand."

People who think they are qualified to criticize something they are completely unfamilliar with.

People who think one product or brand is the ONLY one worth shit, when they haven't tried any of the alternatives.

And yes, all of the above are referring to the SAME PERSON. This person is a co-worker of mine, and I'm about to go off on him, Office Space style.

Sounds rough to deal with.



People who don't put the damn shopping carts back in the shopping cart return when they put their groceries in their car. Gah! On a windy day, those things can roll down a hill and smack into someone's car!!

People put the television remote ON TOP OF THE TV!!! That totally nulls and voids the entire purpose of being lazy and having a remote in the first place!

People who eat all the Pop-Tarts and put the empty box back into the cupboard. Man, I get all excited whenever I go to eat a Vanilla Pop-Tart, but nooooo, someone gets my hopes up by not throwing the box away.

How can the person in question be a co-worker of yours, but also be the only employee? Unless he runs his own buisness and also works at the place that you do. What do you expect hiim to say when talking to someone? "Hi, I'm the lone employee of this buisness... buy my shit"? Rather than trying to be professional (which is usually a key factor while trying to run a sucessfull buisness) and saying that he is the CEO (which is true. Since he is the only employee, he takes on all of the company roles).

People who complain about petty things bug me.


Edit - Office Space rocks, thats one of the best scenes in the whole movie.

people who are a certain way just because their parents or friends are.

people who get all dramatic about shit just for the sake of being part of the drama.

people who think going to college is the only option to survive in life.

(this one isnt real fair but...) people who have rich parents who give them an allowance of like 100 dollars a week and buy them a fuckin car when they turn 17.

people who say lol WAY too much.

yeah, people who talk down to me piss me off too.

thats all i can think of offhand...

i think its annoying when you try to have a decent convo with someone and all you can get is "hey, how are you, what are you doing? soooo, lol,"
thats pretty damn annoying. Or when people continually ask the same question. Or when people take my gum. Or people who scrape my bag or pay out on footbag. People who always use the same word to describe everything, or people who overly use the phrase "ay".
ok thats enough from me. oh yea, ditzy chicks are annoying aswell.
Hopefully back one day.

To clarify, the guy works with me as a software developer, continually complains about having to "work, at a job!!"...
Every fucking day he says "I hate this job, I should just go work on my own business..."

The company he's franchised with is a catalog sales business that sells a lot more than just energy drinks... Basically you get a catalog with a bunch of shit in it, and then figure out how you're gonna market the stuff... When I was 9, I used to go door to door selling chinsy shit out of a catalog... No different really... All he did was pay a company like 500 bucks to buy a franchise, and all of a sudden he's a fuckin' CEO.

He acts like he is better than everyone around him. It makes me very angry. I wish he'd just listen to himself about hating the job, go sell his catalog shit, and get the fuck out of my face.

People who think they can treat you like shit beacause your younger. And people who talk about shit they know nothing about. And people who name drop. My english teacher is always ' I was working on the leading scorer on the hockey team, Mark Smith.' I swear all I hear out of that bitch is "Mark smith this. Mark Smith that" Argh!

hot damn jethro, you're right!
1.i hate completely pointless conversations online where you go: 'how are you? and they go: 'good. how are you?' and thats basically where it ends.
2.and ditzy chicks...oh man yeah. some of them may be hot, but they are just too fuckin stupid...you can tell there isnt a single thought in their fuckin skull. anyway.

All of these fucking people who think their cars are as fragile as glass... Espeically the mother fucking SUV drivers...At least once every two weeks on the way to work, I get stuck behind this son of a bitch who's going twenty in a twenty-five zone... AND SLOWS TO A NEAR FUCKING STOP FOR DIPS!

and those dips you can drive over at 25-35 MPH. I know, I've done it... and faster even. You are an SUV... You should be trecking hills! instead, you're putting around the city trying to be overly safe... Fuck you....
,,|,, :evil: ,,|,,

people who think the world revolve around them too... I see several over the course of the day at a pizza place. They are usually the ones who bring in the Ad to little caesars... When all we serve is what's on the ad. Dude, we know our god damned products. Go fuck yourself... They also usually park right in front of the store where the curb is clearly painted red. And they also usually drive those mother fucking SUV's I was talking about...

I like this thread... I can take out aggression. :D

There was this one girl I knew a few months back, I guess we were in kind of a mutual liking phase or whatever before we went out. And all the conversations would be like that. I would think of shit in advance to say to her to make the conversation halfway bearable.

She collected pop can tabs too... Whore.
