These people I work for and with are professional cocksuckers, cream of the crop, they are the worlds finest in cocksuckery. If anyone is in a worse situation than me I really do feel for them.

What do you do?

Going on as soon as the door opens gives you the most time to get on without the doors closing on you.




I'm not fat

The doors stay open for like 7 seconds once the last person gets off, not to mention there are sensors that prevent the doors from closing if anything is in the doors' way. They need to come up with something better.

Just the other day I was getting off the elevator and one of them tried to bull rush on as soon as the doors open, after I nimbly dodge out of the way and slide out of the elevator, she is casually waiting for the doors to close I ask "In a hurry?". She responds, "Oh, no". I say "Ok" and move on.

They clearly have no idea what they are doing is wrong.

RC, are you working in an elevator or something?

1. The weather...all year it has its ups and downs with maybe 2 nice months
2. I opted to not put air conditioning in my truck...so it gets hot
3. People who can't drive
4. I work when there's a ton of old people on the road
5. The more technology we use, the more things go wrong.

I would assume he works in an office building where he needs to take the elevator a few times a day to get from the ground floor to his floor and vice versa....

It's common courtesy as well as common sense. Instead these piglets act like it will get them upstairs faster or the elevator will lift away without them. One of the fat people on here explain why you guys do it please.

People take the elevator in the three story building I work in And no, its not the freight elevator I'm talking about...

I work in a warehouse and get numerous complaints from one outlet daily. 95% of the time the mistakes they complain about are their fault, like they order the wrong product and we send what they order. We almost always have paperwork to prove we are right but it's a daily thing and it's tiresome.

Second thing is we have a new supervisor who is trying to change everything in our warehouse to his liking. It's set up by section: drink area, food area, paper goods area, etc. He doesn't like that and wants everything changed. The frustrating part is he has been employed here for eight months but has actually phyaically been in our warehouse for a total of ten hours. (we have two warehouse buildings separated by a highway.) Guy can't understand anything and wants everything to change so he can understand it, damn the other twenty employees who know exactly what's going on... Hope that all makes sense.

Well that was the only thing I could think of!

Anyway, as for whatever pet peeves I've had at jobs (keep in mind, I've never had any particularly good jobs since I'm still in college)

-Pretty much any job that involved customer service. Couldn't stand being a cashier at a grocery store. Annoying customers and the bosses were assholes to a lot of cashiers for no reason it seemed.

-When I worked at Toys R Us 4 years ago during Christmas time, I hate how unorganized everything was. I'm pretty sure they hired too many people and it just felt like there was nothing for me to do. The manager would tell me to go to a section and straighten up the shelves. Okay, but that doesn't take an entire shift. I guess a bright side to that was that since no one knew who I was, I could take advantage of the paid breaks we got (I was a minor at the time so we got 15 minutes breaks if we worked 4 hours) and could take a 2 hour break if I really wanted to.

-This is a rather minor complaint (I actually somewhat enjoyed this job) but when I worked at Wal-Mart 2 summers ago for a remodeling project (pretty much tearing down all the old shelving and fixtures and moving merchandise around because the store was getting remodeled) they gave us too many breaks I thought. My shift was 8-5 but they'd give us two 15 min breaks and an hour and 15 minute lunch. I honestly have rather had one 15 min break and a half hour lunch and just either start later or finish quicker. But in the end, that's a pretty insignificant complaint.

-Last summer when I worked at a different grocery store, the whole place seemed pretty relaxed, which I liked. I was in the produce department and would get to spend half my shift in the back room just cutting and packaging watermelon and corn, which was pretty nice and relaxing.

Anyway, the produce we received always came in boxes and we would have to bring the empty boxes to the baler to crush the cardboard.

No big deal.

So one time I was putting in the cardboard in the baler and I pressed the button to crush it. The machine usually takes around 20 seconds to crush the boxes so I took out my phone to read whatever texts I got and to check the time (the store manager told us he had no problem with us checking our phones as long as we did it in a back room and not on the floor where the customers were). Anyway, I'm in the back room waiting for the boxes to be crushed and checking to see what time it is and dairy department manager tells me to put my phone away. I had no idea he was talking to me and then he yelled at me. I put my phone away to shut him up and began to stare blankly at a wall until I could put more cardboard in the baler.

Anyway, the guys leaves for something and I take out my phone again to check a text while the baler is running. The guy sees me doing it and goes apesh*t and yells at me. I yell back and tell me to mind his own damn business. The guy was a department manager for dairy and I was a produce clerk. He has no power over me, just over the dairy people. And given that the store manager told us that we could check our phones in the back rooms, I figured that there was no point in listening to this little weasel (the guy was barely 5 feet tall). I found out that everyone else in my department thinks that guy is a joke and that he can't do anything. It felt even better when he yelled at me for inadvertently stealing his cart.

-Lastly, this past summer I registered with a temp agency. I only got to do one job (my return to school prevented them for giving me another assignment, unfortunately). The one job I had was to format this Powerpoint that the company had made. Apparently it was an inconsistent mess and they wanted me to fix it up and make it not look like a pile of crap.

Long story short, I spent the whole day sitting at a computer with different people telling me that the Powerpoint looked great or looked like a crap. One of the bosses walked up to my computer and said, "This looks great! I like it!" so naturally I kept up with that theme. But then another of the bosses said, "No no no. This isn't good. This is too horsey (WTF does that even mean!?)" and I had to change it.

So pretty much having multiple bosses telling me to do the opposite things annoys me.

I like my job. It's ok. I hate the people, the drive to work, the building, the lack of activity, my desk, my scanner, my printer, my phone when it rings and the construction behind me.

I'm in purchasing, that's as detailed as I can get for now. I can't say who I work for because I know some of them are on this site. The job is not bad, I actually don't mind what I do, but who I work for and who I work with make it unbearable. One day when I'm far away from that place I should write a book and let the world know why these people are pieces of dried dog ****.

I did get a call a little while ago and have a phone interview next week, so I'm thrilled about that.

There's a lot of that these days. So many company's are so top heavy with management, and they all have to throw their 2 cents in, that **** never gets done or gets done and it's all ****ed up with stupidity.

My favorite that I have to deal with is that every other month or so some dick wad that feels they need to justify their existence and their useless job by coming up with a new spreadsheet that I have to update and keep track of. I deal with about 12 spreadsheets a day that nobody looks at. They are just there for no reason what so ever. Since I'm a disgruntled employee now, I tested my theory that no one looks at them by throwing random numbers or words in them just to see if someone will make a comment, I get nothing. Every once in a while I list one part that I purchase as "that****ingthing" and throw in random costs and nobody has said squat.

The weather in Manitoba fucking sucks for working outside. It's always windy and it goes from +35 to -35C. Other than that, I hate idiot customers.

The rest of the job is decent tho, although there are days when I'd like to beat my boss with a pipe wrench.
