Start answering you well before you finish your question

Not listening

Listening skills is correlated to compassion / care about others, in my experience.

Cashiers who have their cell phones out are also annoying as hell.

Retailers need to enforce a simple rule: No cell phones when working.

Then, the cashiers should be able to move people to the side who are on their cell phones while being checked out.

I've had prospective pro bono clients come into the office and answer their cell phone during the initial consultation. Unless there is an apology and explanation for my having to sit there and wait for whatever phone conversation there is, I decline to represent them.

Cell phones have made 90% of the population rude.

Cell phone rudeness:

Blaring any sound (call, game, etc.) from a cell phone in public.

Placing a customer in a position where the customer has to compete with the employee or clerk's cell phone.

Placing an employee or clerk in a position where the employee or clerk has to compete with the customer's cell phone.

Taking a video with a cell phone instead of helping someone who needs help.

With uncommon exceptions, answering a cell phone during any type of business meeting.

I'm sure I'm missing quite a few more.

What prevents this from happening while you're taking 5 minutes to back into the spot vs backing out of the spot?

Why is being able to see better when leaving more enjoyable than when you are arriving?

There is a guy I work with who anytime he’s having to do a presentation he constantly says “like I say”. He’s completely oblivious to it. It’s like a nervous tick or maybe anxiety from public speaking. Some of us have started keeping count. For example, we were in a meeting yesterday where in a presentation that lasted less than 5 minutes he said “like I say” 33 times. Sometime. He’ll say it in clusters of 3 or even 4 in less than 10 seconds.

If I do that in my work vehicle and hit something while backing out, good bye work vehicle priveleges.


Your work vehicle doesn't have a rear view camera? Please confirm whether you work for Dominoes or Papa John's.

When you're backing out of a spot you could be completely blocked from a pedestrian's view. When you're backing in a spot you're starting from the middle of the lane, it would be much harder for a pedestrian to miss you.

Also, why does it take you 5 minutes to back into a spot?

Ask your boyfriend. He’s obviously the logical thinker in the relationship.

People who take up the whole aisle while grocery shopping - parking the buggy in the middle while they peruse the shelves

It doesn't, because I don't. In fact. I enjoy finding those idiots who back in in a pick-up and pulling right up behind them to their bumper so they can't open their tailgate.

Damn, that'll ruin their day since they could never just pull up a few feet

Unnecessary noises. New coworker seemingly has to be making noise at all times to survive. Smacking while eating, whistling like a bird, reading emails out loud, pen clicking, does it all.


Close your office door. That is what I do when people bring kids to the office.
