People who bring their dog into my house letting it come over and sniff my crotch until I am forced to complain because they seem to not even notice what the
animal is doing.
List some silly little thing that gives you pain

When a customer service rep obviously takes pleasure in this ...
Telling an obnoxious customer demanding a refund for a faultless product, "No." The more they insist that you will give them a refund, dammit, simple as that, the more the pleasure a repeat of that simple, cool, "No" gives. Triple points if they then insist you give them the manager's phone number, and you tell them... "No."That's a real pisser-offer. |

Hey, if a customer is nice, or even just not excessively obnoxious, I do my best to help them. But someone being a jerk right off the bat while demanding a
refund for a faultless product, one I let them examine closely before they bought it, will get a chilly response.

When I worked in a video store, there was this guy (who worked as a collections agent, ironically) who would just sit there and whine and browbeat you until
you got tired of dealing with him and waived the late fee charges on his account. One of my crowning achievements as a video clerk was sitting there for a full
half hour, repeating "no" over and over while he pleaded, begged and threatened to get me to forgive six bucks in late charges he'd accrued from
a rental of "Encino Man." Finally, he broke down and announced to me and the entire store that he would never be coming back again.
"Wish I could say you'll be missed..." I said as he walked out the door. At this, he turned around and said, "Is THIS the way you talk to your customers?" To which I replied, "No, but as you've just pointed out, you're no longer one of our customers." He looked stunned, but in a way that almost acknowledged the logic of my words, and then saying nothing further, he left. |

People who recite phone numbers, names, address, etc. at lightening fast speed and then get mad at you when you don't instantly get it down 100% correctly
and ask them to repeat it.

You'd hate me then. I can still remember the phone number of the office my mom worked in when I was five. I can also still remember the address, year,
specific dates. Anything with a number in it.

I surprised my father by remembering his childhood address. Despite that I can't remember all of the addresses I've ever lived at.

I'll often waste a lot of time replying to a thread-comment or email, only to later realize my point wasn't worth sending, so I'll then just delete
it.
(Actually, I sometimes get some therapeutic/sort-out-my-ideas value from it, but often I spent most of the time trying to find some obscure, internet reference-link that was never found...  )
