Motherfucking surprise raisins. Lately every time I pick up a pre-made meal from the grocery store, no matter what it is, there are raisins in it. I don't even especially dislike raisins, I just hate finding them when I'm not expecting them, and they usually don't make the dish better. Just way sweeter. My falafel hummus wrap that I had today tasted of nothing but super sweet raisins and cilantro. Not a good combo.

Today I had a couple come through my register. The dude put his card in to pay, and it gave me a bizarre error message that I've never seen before. We tried a few more times, then I called my supervisor over, who tried a few different things. Meanwhile, everyone else in my line got fed up and moved to other lines, I put the "next lane please" sign up and the couple got increasingly frustrated and snippy with us. Finally, after like 10 minutes, the guy was like "WHATEVER, I'll just pay in cash!" and the woman started ranting about "this happens EVERY time! The chip on his card doesn't work, but you never let us just slide it! This is ridiculous!" ..........  It took them ten loving minutes to tell us that this is a recurring problem with their card. And we HAD tried to slide it several times, and that didn't work either! If you know it's a loving problem that happens EVERY TIME you come in, just pay with cash in the first loving place, or AT LEAST loving tell us right away that it's an issue! Don't loving stand there like slack-jawed idiots while we try the same fifty things that they probably tried last time you had this happen! Also, gently caress people who know their card doesn't work properly, but chooses to make it an ordeal every time they shop instead of, I dunno, maybe calling the bank and getting a new loving card?! We constantly have people whose chip cards don't work right, but our system won't let us slide it normally until they try (and fail) to use the chip 3 times, taking at least 30 seconds each time. And yet they would rather do this and whine about it, than just get a new goddamn card that works.

When customers get mad at me, I don't get mad at customers. If someone wants to act like a petulant child in a store,the only one they shame is themselves. Call the manager over, let them handle this screaming baby.

Yeah that's been my strategy for a while now too. Most of the time after a minute or so with me not reciprocating their crazy they'll calm down and we can have a civil conversation. Sometimes it takes longer but not often. I think they're just not used to getting a smile and some politeness in the face of their come apart.

You would think they'd learn that you get help faster and easier if you just start out calm and polite. That said, sometimes there are employees that will try and take advantage of the polite people and they deserve all the angry customer interactions they get.

When someone is determined to be in a bad mood. The sulky pissy kind where, if they were a child, you'd say they were pouting. My mom is horrible with this and her sulks can last the entire day. Like getting lunch together, and she found the bag of rice in the cabinet had fallen over, the rubber band broke, and rice had spilled all over. Instead of just sweeping it up, she spent the next 10 minutes snapping about people being stupid and this kind of rice is poo poo and the kitchen is a mess and she hates it and....and all the while grabbing other things from that shelf and throwing them on the floor. She's now in her room, even if lunch is made and ready, and won't come out because, she snaps, she's fine and busy. Or the people who laugh about others enjoying a game (like Pokemon Go) when they themselves waste hours on Facebook games.

Job pet peeve: my entire job is built around uploading stuff to a server. If I can't upload for some reason, I don't work. It's part-time so with a little coordination between departments, IT could have a few days in the week to do whatever scheduled maintenance they want to the server. Hell, on the days I'm not here they can unplug it and take it for a movie and romantic dinner for all I care. But somehow they always schedule maintenance for the days I'm in the office and give about one hour notice. I guess today's the day I'm getting paid to read up on how to build a raspberry pi media center for my living room. I don't care, but I can tell you, the foundation that actually funds this job would poo poo bricks.

When I click on a link that promises a gallery of funny pictures and its in that terrible slide show format. The bad ones will show the picture then the next page has the picture and whatever dumb text they throw in at the bottom. The absolute worst one would cut off the blurb in mid sentence and force you to click the next button again just to finish it. So you're clicking 3-4 times per picture. I'm on my phone. This poo poo takes too long.

Or people who don't take the hint that if you're eating, they need to go the gently caress away. Lately I've had to work through lunch more than once and end up with someone mad at me because I'm trying to eat and fix a critical issue and they won't take the loving hint to ask someone else for help. Worst part is when I leave the office and intentionally don't answer my cell or leave my cell at my desk so I can eat in peace...and get every rear end in a top hat and their immediate family crying because I wasn't there to help and they're too loving lazy to read prior ticket notes or even look for documentation that might help. Too many other things to list and it's the reason I'm about to say "gently caress this job and gently caress IT in general" because I'm sick of MSP bullshit encroaching on my personal life constantly and dealing with less-than-reliable douchebags who would rather argue and pass the buck than do their loving jobs.

9 mins 8 mins ... 1 mins Lol gently caress you, the bus was never coming. Buses not coming is annoying obviously but what's worse is when the electronic timetables basically lie that they are particularly in a bus station where you could have gotten an alternative bus and not been so drat late.

I work outside, and while there is some air conditioning, guess what, after 9 hours of being in and out of it and the temp over 100 and humidity somewhere near 50%, loving deodorant isn't gonna loving work anymore! So coming home, getting unloaded and ready to take a shower and being told I stink. By people who work in a loving office with full AC. NO poo poo. And I would go RIGHT in the loving shower if you idiots didn't want to stop me and tell me about your day or whine about this or tell me what funny thing the cat did. Give me ten minutes to myself once I walk in the door so I am presentable, all right?

So coming home, getting unloaded and ready to take a shower and being told I stink. By people who work in a loving office with full AC. If your deodorant conks out early you could make your own with coconut oil, cornstarch and baking soda. Apparently my bacteria are resistant to all commercial deodorants but this prevents odors all day long (even when I'm outside being sweaty and gross in Texas humidity.) Or try adding some baking soda to whatever you're using (too much might dry out your skin though.) Alternately, you could keep some baking soda in a pocket and fling it in the eyes of anyone who gives you poo poo.

When you are friends with "Dave" and not "Amy" but Amy chimes in on Dave's discussion and the whole thing gets derailed by someone you typically avoid like the plague as she is tumblr come to life. Today's topic? Grammar, its effective use and application by professional writers. Amy's contribution? How correct use of punctuation is a rich white male invention and doesn't need to be adhered to for that reason. Hey amy. fuk uuuuuu, ya daffy See YOU Nxt Tewsday!

Yeah I also work alot outside in Texas so I ended up taking an extra shirt and taking deodorant with me. The extra shirt really helps but it does feel weird putting on a clean t shirt when your sweaty so that is a downside.

Two that I thought of today: 1) Our restaurant has a ring of booths around the walls and then a bunch of tables in the middle. If I sit people at a table, even if all the booths are full or they are dirty, 99% of the time they get this panicked look on their face and start searching around and then ask me if a booth is available. "Yes," I say, "If you want to wait ten minutes while I clean off one of them/wait for these people to be finished." Then they look very relieved and hover over me while I clean off a table or, alternatively, watch me wait near the desk while I pretend to look at paperwork. Why the gently caress are people so antsy about tables? Booths are not that much fun. 2) People who sit on the outside chair on the streetcar/subway. If I want to sit down, I have to get you to move (which you do not, you simply shift your legs so that I have to rub my rear end on your face).

Any teachers? I'm some kind of weirdo who loves professional development but... gently caress preservice. Seriously, just send me an email and let me get to making copies and prepping in my room instead of clapping at someone's inspirational speech or doing ice breakers with people I've known for a decade/new people where all I learn about them is that they play the trombone. Oh, and during what was supposed to be a silly ice breaker this year, where we had to run around and pantomime things before responding to a prompt, one teacher told me his toddler is now free of some super rare cancer, which was kind of heavy and not really what the prompt was asking for. But whatever, it was clearly heavy on his mind and it just came out.

Oh my God, that bus thing, except when in addition, a NOT IN SERVICE bus just happens to go by at around the time your bus was supposed to. And it's -45 and you would cry but your tear ducts are frozen shut.
