ANNOYANCE!

OKAY, SO

I work with TONS of different clients, different types of people come in and MOST of the time I am a super happy, helpful person. But I was just irked. Not to an extreme level because I still have the ability to type this without misspelling words. HOWEVER. A gentlemen comes in today. He mumbles something about doing something with a printer. So I say, "okay, do you have a company name, or a persons name I can contact for you?"

He says "No, I'm here."

I say " Yes sir, you are but this is executive suites and so I'm not sure which company you're looking for."

He Says *insert eye rolling* "let me look it up"..... "V--N" (Company name has been blocked)

I say " Okay let me call them and I'll let them know you're here, Whats YOUR company name again?"

Now instead of just telling me his company name he points to his shirt with an incredibly small logo on it (like I'm supposed to be able to read what its says while being distracted by his incredibly abnormal man boobs.)

So then, I asked him what he was here to do for them, and he says *insert eye rolling* "I said I'm here to program a pick up printer and...  Yaddy yadda yadda computer lingo"
I say "They'll be right with you, you can go ahead and have a seat."

But does he graciously take a seat? NO! He annoyingly stands there staring at me and my desk. CLEARLY I was done socializing with him. And then when my client comes to retrieve this gentleman he waves the man back and the gentleman looks at me and says "Is that the guy?"

and I say "Yup, he's signaling you" .. Considering he was the ONLY person in the reception area.... he definitely wasn't flapping his arms at me... (okay I didn't say the last part, but I wanted to.)

Anyways How annoying and rude can people be?!

BUT, then I try and remember he was probably just having a bad morning and my sauciness is not going to make either one of us any happier... so I decided to blog about it and get it out of my day. :)
Happy Tuesday!

Annoying People

SO I was reading one of my Favorite blogs "Just Innapropriate" and she wrote THIS POST! I was laughing so hard. It's sooo true! All of it... One of my very close favorite family/Friends is the BIGGEST culprit of this. I thought for a long time that I might copy all the status he/she posts in one day and write them all down and try to see if  he/she understand how silly and slightly pathetic they look.

I have also thought about deleteing them.

HOWEVER that is all improbable.

So I just sit and laugh and make fun of it.

There are the random quotes of the day to make themsleves feel better Such as "Whatever doesn't kill me, can only make me stronger." (which is usually accompanied by all of the little friends saying "you know it!" or "keep your head high") 

or there are the quotes that are secretly a hint to someone such as "I'm better off without you anyway I thought it would be hard but I'm okay. I don't need you if youre gonna be that way 'Cause with me it's all or nothing - I can do better"- (this is usually followed with Comments of "Dude/Girl, don't waste your rime, you are so much better than that")

Of coarse there is my current loathing of status's "That awkward moment when..."  Now at first I thought they were kinda funny, you know, the ones that actually make sense..... and then people started to think they were clever.... and would use it for every little thing...... such as "that awkward moment when you get in your car and drop your phone :/" this goes along with "White girl problems"--- I just don't get it.

basically I've hidden anyone that is ever annoying on my news feed. You annoy me, I hide you.

Facebook is not a diary. Lets keep it that way.
*** This is not to say that I haven't been a culprit of of the annoying Facebook Status' I just try and limit them.

Elevator Etiquette

So as we all know Elevator rides can get kinda awkward. I mean you're in a metal box that goes up and down with complete and total strangers. Now there are those people that absolutely HAVE to talk during an elevator ride, or there are those people that will NOT make eye contact, for that matter will not even acknowledge the fact that there is even another person sharing the small metal box with you.
I work on the 7th floor of my building. Naturally I ride the elevator multiple times a day because lets face it 7 flights of stairs is just Ridiculous! SO I have come up with some Elevator Etiquette!

Rule # 1 When you are waiting for an elevator, DO NOT automatically assume that the elevator is going to be empty when the doors open. Rushing in when someone is trying to Rush out is not only Rude, but Awkward. Trying to dodge and see which side they are going to try and rush through is a very difficult task.

Rule # 2 When the elevator look even Mildly crowded. PLEASE for the love of God, DO NOT try and squeeze yourself in. Another elevator will come soon I promise. No need to test the weight limit.

Rule # 3 Gentlemen: When you are in an elevator with even just ONE Lady it is PROPER to let her off the elevator before you. I mean really lets show some Chivalry!

Rule # 4 When you see someone coming up or you hear someone say "Hold the elevator!" HOLD THE DAMN ELEVATOR?! True Story I was going down and I'm just chillin in the elevator and it stops some lady comes in and then we hear someone say "Hold the elevator Please!" Now I was in the back of the elevator and this other woman was up close by the doors. However instead of simply putting her arm out and stopping the elevator the lady pushes the "door close" button instead. Then she turns to me and smiles. I was like.. um. RUDE! I mean really it would have slowed us up a total of 2 seconds to hold the elevator. Common Courtesy people. Look it up!

Rule # 5 When you see someone holding a very large box, or Maybe a grip load of mail and they are small and easily struggling to carry the entire box.... It MIGHT, MAYBE be a nice gesture to ask them which floor they need INSTEAD of watching them struggle to push the correct floor. True Story. so in unintentional revenge I ended up hitting about 4 of the wrong floors with my elbow. See how he liked THAT! :P

Rule # 6 I know how awkward it can be to be in the elevator with a stranger but seriously. If Someone smiles at you.. SMILE BACK! if someone says Hello, you say it BACK!.... oh and If you're wearing a Blue tooth and you say hello to the person on your ear, and the other person in general view says Hello to you... It is unnecessary to Glare rudely at them. Join the real world and take the damn thing off you're ear.

Rule # 7 You're in an Elevator. You're going to lose service. There is no need to shout and curse if you lose a call. Kicking the side of the elevator will also not bring service back to your cell. In Fact, the only thing it will succeed in doing is making you look like an Idiot. (True Story)

So there you have it. My Lucky 7 Elevator Etiquette Rules. Read them and Learn them. They will help make not only your life easier but the lives of others all around you easier.

P.S. Person releasing gas right before you get off the elevator, so that the next person on is stuck in your stench. You disgust me.
