Don't you hate it when.....

Post your peeves in this thread.

You call a business about double billing and are told, "There's nothing we can do about it - it's all automatic."

 

[That Lady in PA]

...people yammer on about things they know nothing about.

Businesses that don't fill in the pot holes in their parking lot.

 

[debodun]

Stores that have a "buy one, get one free" sale then double the price.
It ain't really free, then.

Same with shipping orders - order two and the second one is free, just pay shipping and handling. If there's a fee involved, it isn't free.

Your driving in the left lane of a 2 way highway and someone is in front of you going way less than the speed limit?

When I call a company, like my health insurance, and ask a very simple question, then have to start all over, going into great detail because they "don't get it," and even then, nothing is resolved.

I have a PPO Medicare advantage plan and was disturbed because they sent a replacement insurance card, naming my PCP on it, when the original card did not. I was concerned that if he was out of the office and I needed to see a different doctor in the practice, it could be a problem with my insurance.

After 3 people and over an hour on the phone, my question was never answered. I had to go downtown and get the senior advocate for Medicare patients to get this fixed, and she did. I finally got a new card like the first, without a doctor's name on it.

... when you have to get the E-check on your car and your check engine light has been on for 2: years.

I used to hate it when after a 6 hour flight and landing, I am told our gate is blocked by another plane waiting to be pushed back. On one occasion I had to wait over a half hour until my gate was opened. That happened several times during my career. Guess who takes the passenger’s wrath for waiting? Yes, me.

I hate it when I'm trying to give my opinion on a subject and get howled down by my sister who thinks she knows everything.

Automated phone answering systems, there are a couple I don't mind (such as, before auto prescription refills I didn't mind refilling thru the pharmacy's automated system), but mostly I wind up yelling 'operator!' 'operator!' 'operator!' at every prompt.

Litter.

...particularly kitty litter.

Businesses that don't shovel snow off their sidewalks. There is a bank in my neighborhood that never shovels the snow and they are rude when asked about it. A lot of seniors use that bank and they just don't care about their customers safety. Security almost had to carry me out after an employee got nasty with me.

 

[mike4lorie]

When getting groceries, super busy, and only 2 cashiers on, and the line is nearly to the back of the store... Drives me nuts! The same thing happens at the bank.

 

[Lewkat]

I absolutely despise these automated phone systems as well. I go ballistic every time I have to make a call to a business these days. Whoever invented this should be jailed for life in my opinion.

 

[Pappy]

Waiting for someone to call my number. DMV prime example.

 

[horseless carriage]

This doesn't happen often because in this house because, "Rules are rules." But whenever youngsters have visited, especially teenagers, your need is desperate, but you made it in time, then you look to where the toilet tissue should be and see an empty carboard roll! Agh!

 

[HazyDavey]

Being constantly interrupted when speaking.

 

[debodun]

Prescription medication commercials - "Ask you doctor about xxxxxx." I think if my doctor wanted me on xxxxxx, he/she would have discussed it with me.

They also show people engaged in happy and pleasant activities while reciting a litany of side affects: May cause sudden heart stoppage, internal organ failure, hemorrhages, memory loss or seizures.

Definitely, and those dancing commercials are annoying

What is snow?!

Someone is placed in charge of organizing an event and a contact number is given to register for the function. Then they never answer their phone, or someone else does and says that person just started a 2 week vacation.

 

[LoveTulips]

Waiting on the phone for an hour or more on automated system with a business and then suddenly they hang up!@#%*

When you make appointments to get something done at your house and the people come late....or not at all.

We have two appointments tomorrow to get estimates on having a tree taken down, one at 8 and one at 11. Whatcha wanna bet at least one stands us up?
