• Customers who whine and act like babies when they don't get what they want. "If you don't take back this item that I bought 4 months ago, I'm talking to your manager and never shopping here again!!" Fine, we don't need customers like you anyway. Geez, we have return policies for a REASON, people!
I have to share this one that happened 3 weeks ago: Customer: "I buy $100 worth of supplies here EVERY month! Do you really want to lose my business because you won't take back this DVD burner??" Wow, you spend a whole $1200 a YEAR with us, how nice of you. Do you realize that a lot of customers spend 5-10x what you do, and they're the ones who keep us in business?
Not that I do this, it's pretty damn obvious that these kind of threats don't work, but people do it because they're powerless to do anything else.
My pet peeve: US 'news' networks: CNN, Fox, MSNBC, etc. I love the news but watching these channels makes me pull my hair out.
My related pet peeve: When people watch real news and complain that the interviewer was 'rude' 🙄.
Another pet peeve: People who drone on and on about their great sodding country.
Another: Indian call center jokes.
Another: People who make a show of their meekness.
Finally: Snow. Can that be a peeve?
