Sometimes when I am living my life I run into people that do things that just piss me off. These things I call pet peeves. Now a pet peeve is actually defined as a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly annoying to them, to a greater degree than others may find it. Since I am currently experiencing some of my pet peeves on a daily basis I decided to write about them.
- People acting like they don't have anywhere to go when they are walking with me
- People who constantly miss pronounce things after I told them what they are called
- When trying to hold a conversation, one word answers ( Awkward silences)
- Not having work to do, but having to stay at work
- When people stand super close to my and look over me shoulder while I work
Reason for # 1
Basically, when I am walking through a metro station and I know that I have to swipe my metro card I will get it out and ready to swipe before I get up to the card stand. If you are walking with me and you wait until you get to the card stand to reach for your metro card then don't fucking walk with me. I do not want to wait for your ass.
Reason for # 2
If I am training someone on a new software or talking to them about an idea I will try to take my time to explain everything to the best of my ability. If I am saying one thing like SysInit and they keep saying SysI-N-I it pisses me off. Especially since in my line of work SysInit and Sys I-N-I are two very different things.
Reason for # 3
When its just two people in a country where everyone else doesn't speak English I would want to have a conversation with the other person who speaks English. I try to start conversations about anything and everything. This person will only respond with one word, or nothing that helps the conversation continue.
Reason for # 4
This may sound stupid, but when I am at work and have nothing to work on it pisses me off. I still have to sit at work and try to look productive so I can get paid. People can't know that I finish work too fast, or that they can get work done without me being involved.
Reason for # 5
This is my number 1 pet peeve. While I am sitting and working and people are right around me I hate it. I need my space, especially when I am moving from computer to IO cabinet to computer. It gets really difficult when people are standing right where I need to be. And since they are the customer I can't really push them out of the way, or can I?
