Trivial things that annoy you

Ihatecuddles-old

The only time I talk on the phone at the till is when its an emergency, I used to work on tills so I was also really understanding. I scanned the shopping quietly, if they handed me a clubcard then great, otherwise I say nothing, I sit quietly while they read the total on the screen and pay me. I give them their change in silence and smile at them. Im sure they appreciate it.

The last time I answered the phone at the till it was very important and I had to take it, I apologised and explained it to the check out girl, then whispered thank you at the end and sorry for being so rude. Now I feel like I was a complete c*nt

Other people have to use the tills, that's why its rude and ignorant. If it's an emergency, move aside and let others use it. Just standing there having a full blown conversation while others are standing behind you waiting to use the till is the height of self-absorption.

What if the phone rings while you're at the till? And you have to take it? Then you apologise, pay when youre supposed to pay, thank the cashier and go about your business.

Seriously I think its really petty that some people wouldnt even serve someone on their phone. Maybe I'm more laid back than the average person, but some people find everything rude these days.

If the phone rings, go outside and take it. Making others wait on your behalf is selfish. Basic manners really.

I don't think it's being petty at all. When I worked in argos, I had to put the digits in and call the item back and I was not about to start talking over someone on the phone, or not do my job properly because someone was too ignorant to get off the phone. And, if I'm to be polite to someone, I expect the same in return. I was not being paid enough to be accepting of ignorant cnuts rude behaviour.

That would not be a problem for me, it was a must take call and you apologised.

How is it going to take any longer though?

We'll agree to disagree, It never bothered me, people have busy lives and important things going on. I just did my job as best I could and was always thanked and apologised to.

Arseholes in their scanger mobiles virtually lying down their seats are tilted so far back.
You cannot possibly see properly.

You are not a Mexican gangbanger, you are a knacker in a Peugeot.

And the only drive by you will be doing is for a cheeseburger and fries.


Scum, utter scum.

If you were at the doctors and your mobile rang, just out of curiosity, what would you do?

Its not that simple for me, I have very important calls I MUST take, if I was at the doctor I would answer my phone, mainly because they understand that sometimes I cannot miss my phone ringing.

I was in the middle of a facial before and apologised and answered my phone, Im polite other than that.

I also give people the same respect, you need to answer your phone? Go for it, Im still able to do my job, Im assuming its important and once you arent holding anyone up, it really makes absolutely no difference to me. I'm a girl in your local shop, not the Queen, respect me enough to apologise, thank me and smile, I dont need you missing important calls in case I think you're rude. I won't.

Personally, and I'm talking from experience here, if a client got up to answer a phone call in the middle of a massage or a facial, I wouldn't be inclined to rebook the same client back in with me for future appointments, it's extremely disruptive. Usually if I was expecting an important call, I'd have a fair idea when they would be ringing, and I wouldn't be making appointments around that, but hey, that's just me.

I have heard some of the replies people give when on "important" calls, usually something like "yeah, make it two rashers" or "anything is fine except Carling"

Like I said I dont have that luxury, of knowing when the call will come. My phone rings, I answer it. I apologise and explain to them why its so important I answer the phone.

I worked in a beauty salon, if one of the girls said their client answered the phone during a massage and they dont want to massage them again, the manager would have told them where to go. People have kids, work commitments and sick relatives, unfortunately that's just life. I'm glad I'm understanding to that, and everyone I've disrupted to answer my phone has been too.

I've also worked in beauty salons, and have managed my own, and I know if I came out and told my manager that the clients phone had been ringing in the middle of the massage, when there are signs in the salon asking them to be switched off as its supposed to be a relaxing place for all clients, she would tell me to take the time the treatment was delayed, off the entire treatment. So, if you'd wasted 5 mins of a massage or a facial, that you'd still be finished on your appointment time. And if it was something that happened every time, I know my previous two managers would not have a problem not taking the client again, and would just assign another therapist to her in future.

If people are on their phones they are not concentrating.If you ask them something like cashback or whatever it is they want if they dont answer you they dont get it.
Ive had a woman give out stink one day cause she said she asked for cashback ,she didnt.Really rude but luckily that day i had someone in the queue tell her if she wasnt on her effing phone she would have heard me asking her.It holds everyone up,cause they cant pack and talk that quick.

It's been ages since Clare won the hurling, frankly I couldn't have cared either way, but my next door neighbour still has bunting, flags and fecking scarves hanging off the roof and windows, back and front. It takes the look off the terrace, I wish he'd fcuking take it down already, wnakers:mad:

Coffee granules in the sugar bowl. I really, really hate coffee. I do not like my tea tasting like coffee. And I like my tea sweet because I'm a bitter, miserable b1tch.

Can't win.

Yeah it's always the old people. It's like they know they are old and put on the old deary act so no one complains as they are just confused.

It's not like it's a new concept
