Pet Peeves
It really annoys me when someone responds to my email and spells my name wrong. Now, I totally understand if you meet someone in person or talk to them on the phone and only hear them speak their name, that there is a chance that you won't remember it correctly when you type it. However you replied to MY email, with my name SPELLED OUT in my signature, and yet you still got it wrong. Are people really that dense? I've gotten everything from Martha to Maya to Mary and such. Yesterday I was Marva, apparently. Marva? Really? LOL. Open your eyes, people! I don't think they realize how dumb it makes them look!
What kinds of things bother you?
Re: Pet Peeves
Marva?!
LOL... I'm sorry, that's hilarious. That would really irritate me too. DH works with a guy named Craig, and yet for some reason there's a few people that always call him Greg. He's corrected them and so "Craig with a C" and they say "Oh, okay, I'm sorry Greg".
Lately a friend of mine has been calling me during the stupidest times. Example, the last 3-4 times she has called me have been while she's on her way to somewhere. Not like 15-20 minutes away from the destination, like 3-5 minutes. So she'll call, ask me what's been going on, I'll start to tell her something, and then she'll interrupt me and say "before you start, I only have a few minutes before I'll be at XYZ", at which point I'm thinking "then why are you even calling me?" It'd be one thing if I called HER and she picked up with only a few minutes to spare, but she consistently does this with me and it's just like "just call me when you have more than 10 minutes please."
I also don't like that people can't seem to spell my name right. I get everything from Corrine to Connie. Seriously, Connie???
One of my biggest pet peeves lately are people at work that don't wash their hands after using the restroom. Yes, there are people that don't wash their hands and go back to work. It's gross. It's also a huge pet peeve of mine that people think it's ok to have conversations while in the bathroom. No. You're there to do your business and get the eff out!
I know, right!? No offense to the Marva's of the world....but really, ARE there any Marva's left in the world? What an odd choice. You'd think that just the thought would have made them double check the name, but nope. The best part? It was someone that I have met in person twice, and emailed back and forth with quite a few times. Apparently I made quite an impression.
OMG, yes! I would really prefer that my pee not be featured as a background noise in your conversation. It creeps me out to think of who might be listening, lol!
The Nest won't let me change my location to MI. I've tried a couple times and for some reason the thing won't save. Oh well.
When people don't say thank you when you hold the door for them. If it happens on a day that I'm feisty I will say something to them - scream out You're Welcome or just call them a Jerk. My H HATES when I do this and swears one time I will mess with the wrong person. I'm trying to control myself
Rachel! You're the best. Tell her that I will start referring to her as Kaylene.
) Close enough, right?!
I hate when I am texting someone and we are texting back and forth and I realize that it's would just be easier to call that person to get the conversation over and I call them and then they don't answer, but text me back. Like hello I called you for a reason because I am all done texting you back and forth and I know you are right there with your phone just answer it!
Right, close enough! I love her to bits but the mispronounciations crack me up sometimes. She NEVER could pronounce Ashton Kucher, the Kucher part...she calls candle votives "voltives", and Olga's "Ogla's". LOL.
