some people

Here are some things that bug me:

1. In an elevator, why do some people repeatedly press the buttons? It doesn't make the elevator come faster, or the doors shut faster. Some people press the close door button every second, because they are in so much of a hurry that the normal 2 seconds it would take for the doors to close on their own would be too long; instead, they practically close the doors on you as you step in or out. These people make me want to shove them down the elevator shaft. Is that fast enough for ya?

2. If I write a note in pencil, it is so the note can be erased. Why then do some people insist on crossing it out with a big black sharpee?

3. When people leave voice messages, some people s-p-e-a-k s-o s-l-o-w-l-y that I feel like I'm in a time warp. But then they leave their phone number like this: "Please call me at 18004352155841123759163276843794813." What? How am I supposed to call you when the most important part of the message was sped through like a tiger on it's way to Mars? Or they leave their phone number with some weird cadence like "800-45-twentyonesixhundred." It goes 3 digits, 3 digits, 4 digits (or 2 sets of 2 digits). Not 3 digits, 2 digits, 5 digits. That actually makes it really difficult to comprehend what is being said.

4. When I have to explain the same thing over and over to the same person, yes I tend to get exasperated. But some people will take this as rudeness and whine about me being mean. No, I'm not being mean. You're just not listening. This is why I could never be in a management position. People would die.

5. If someone else has a folder with their name on it, and you want one too, don't come complaining to me about how I didn't give you one. Go into Word, type your name, print it, and tape that to a folder. I'm not the only one that has that power.

6. When on a crowded subway, most people head towards the door when their stop approaches. Some people try to shove their way into the front because "they need to get out." Why do you thin everyone else is crowded near the door? Just to slow you down? You'll get out when the people in front of you get out. (I have a sneaking suspicion that these are the elevator people that I already mentioned.)



Ok, that's enough for now. This is putting me in a bad mood.
Sounds like someone's got a case of the Mondays!
