Last week I attempted to put all the annoying things people do into a top 5 list; I say attempted, because…well…there was overflow… I couldn’t keep it to just 5 things.
So, as promised, here is my continued list: the next top 5 most annoying things people do:
So, as promised, here is my continued list: the next top 5 most annoying things people do:
5. Since companies are now people….what companies call “customer service” by phone… ...automated systems that try to resolve your issue without letting you talk to an actual person. But, here’s the work-around…don’t use your keypad if they give you the option to respond by voice; the voice option allows you to bypass the system by consistently repeating “agent” or “customer service” - whereas once you use the keypad, you’re stuck listening to all those options and pressing four more extensions before they finally give you the secret extension number for reaching a live agent…a number they change regularly, by the way, so don’t write it down for future reference…
4. People who sit at the machine at the gym, texting...
completely oblivious to the line of people, there to actually work out, waiting to use the machine…
3. Becoming a member of Congress…
2. Use junk contacts as a form of marketing...
...this includes junk mail, pop-ups and other unwanted banner ads online, unsolicited telemarketing and/or “vote for our candidate” calls, and junk emails like the latest one I’ve been getting about “100% free vouchers for SW Airlines!!!”; this does not, however, include emails from Nigeria about that lottery they’ve been running…I still hope to win that one!
1. And the other number one most annoying thing people do:
Allow their children or grandchildren to run amok in stores and places of business like they’re on Old MacDonald’s farm, their idea of controlling the little monsters being something along the line of “now little Joey, you stop stabbing that woman’s leg with that sharp object that I’ve inexplicably given you to play with, and ripping all the items off the shelf while screaming about the bag of candy you want, or I’ll give you a stern look before I go back to comparison shopping….”
