When I just finished discussing an issue or solution to an an issue and my new boss comes in an hour late and asked for updates.
Or when dealing with some fires that just started and he comes in an hour late and asks where we are with the issue.
or when putting out fires and he comes in an hour late and asks how was your weekend.
You should invest in a good sprinkler system. You're welcome.

say I have customer x on the line, you have a minute to talk with them? Hell no, at least have the intelligence to warn me, let me gather some information on what they may be asking and prepare for a minute. Happened last Friday. Hate getting blindsided.
This is exactly why I hate cold calls from clients. Even scheduled calls, I am on edge going into a call that was set up simply as, "Hello, do you have time for a call this week? I have questions.."
There are a million things their questions could be about. I would prefer to go in prepared OR be able to have someone else on the line if their questions are more in their wheelhouse.

Parking lot lazies.
Fat people who wait for a closer parking space or park in non allowed spots. They could easily park and be in the store by the time they finally get settled.
People need to walk more, not less.

When people make f'n toast in the office kitchen and put a single knife in the sink instead of washing it off and returning it. On Friday there will be 5 g'dman knives in the bottom of the sink.

Every new employee introduction profile being some version of "Likes his/her dog, traveling, eating at restaurants, and watching sports team X."

Elderly upper management who should be retired but instead stay employed and request cameras to be on during zoom or teams meetings. You know what we look like and teams has headshots.

Gee thanks. My wife and I ask for unsalted because of blood pressure issues, not to game the system. So those fries some lazy bastard gave us will end up in the trash. One of the reasons I hate fast food, the employees are generally asshats.

I have a young guy fresh out of college in our office. He will walk in and ask what I'm up to and then walk to the edge of my desk and look at what I'm doing. I've mentioned it already but may have to have a more direct approach.
Another pet peeve I have is the clique environment that develops. Once you get burned a few times, you can't trust anyone.

Perfectly healthy people not showing up in 2022 because you are “afraid of Covid”. This is only a thing on my west coast assignments.
That doesn’t fly in Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Cincy, Columbus, or Baton Rouge. Thank God for that.

"Shannon? Are you there? Can you hear us, Shannon? We see you connected to the call, but we can't hear you. Are you on mute? Hello, Shannon? We can't hear you. Maybe you should try and reconnect. Shannon? Did you change your speaker settings? Type if you can hear us. We'll wait for you. Everyone, we're going to wait for her before starting."

99% of the time this is caused by someone working from home with either shitty internet service in general or they haven’t reset their router in lord knows how long.
