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

Fill in 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."

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

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.

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.
