What's your pet peeve in RL?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I'm really getting tired of my boss being passive-aggressive.

I got back from a Microsoft conference thingy today to find my co-worker lamenting their deceased laptop. We spent a few hours trying to fix it before declaring it dead and there being no real workarounds to be had, given our resources. Co-worker decides to head home and sends our boss(who hasn't shown up to the office all day long) an email informing him of the situation. My co-worker requests that I send a collaborating email so my boss doesn't think he's just blowing off work. So I send an email explaining what happened and how we did try to fix the situation.

Later, I get a snarky response from my boss telling me how he is "not the next level of escalation for these issues".
Yeah, except you have been. Often. All the damn time when purchasing new laptops is involved. Not to mention the fact that I sent that email as a courtesy to my co-worker. We're a small company. I get that he's the president and all, but for fuck's sake, it's just four people in this office and we thought you might want to know why one of your employees left early for the day. There's no need to be passive-aggressive about it. It looks like he told off my co-worker in a similar manner as well, seeing as how he CCed me on the email.

I guess I'll just go back to not communicating with my boss ever. At all. For any reason. All the damn time.

UPS.

Why, oh why does Amazon constantly use these bastards? They can never do a single package delivery correctly. Once again, they decide to leave a notice rather than simply press my buzzer. I have to regularly tell the person in the 2nd-3rd attempt - who for some reason is always a different fellow - that if they don't want to walk up, I will come down for my package.

But no. Here all day with the sis and niece, neither of us hear a buzz nor knock. What do I pay one-day shipping for?!

Actually, this pretty much sums it up.



Erm, am I the only one who sees that forced attached image thing in the bottom? Tasky, I think you broke something...

I have the exact opposite problem with my UPS guy. He always rings the bell and knocks loudly and he always comes while my kids are taking their naps.

@Yyg

Sorry about what you went through. I hope you win against BOA ... they've been responsible for a lot of problems lately with the financial and housing markets.

lots of argleblarging

Yyg, I hope you make out like a goddamn bandit.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

My new pet peeve in real life is that I never heard the word "argleblarging" until right now.

[cidbahamut]

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I'm pretty sure I use that term on a regular basis here. It's a good word.

It's not BoA I'm going after at the moment. I'm going after the debt collection company that changed my Date of Last Activity. They are the ones responsible for me losing the house.

When I'm finished with them, I'm making a call to the Attorney General's office here in Mass and letting them know that BoA is fucking me over bigtime for not letting me know about a delinquent account for 6 years.

With the Debt collectors, I would rather them call me to come to a settlement. I'll gladly pay the money I originally owed on the BoA credit card... as it's my obligation. I spent that money and I should pay it back. In return, I want them to revert my DOLA back to 2006 where it's supposed to be... which will change my credit score back to where it was.

Date of last activity is defined as one of 2 things. It is either the date of the last payment I made on the account (2006) OR the date that the account went delinquent (2007). Moving my DOLA to any other date is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting act and is ABSOLUTELY against the law. They have mine set as February of 2012. Not only that... the bastards have it set as my fucking birthday.

I dont want to get a dime from the collections company. I want my money from BoA. They are the ones who did this to me by not informing me about it when it was still only a small amount of money. Pitance I would have gladly parted with to part ways with them forever. Instead... they refused to inform me and caused this whole thing... culminating in the loss of my first house.

BoA is getting ass raped by my lawsuit until they bleed out.

On the real, my peeve today is that I woke up after a long sleep that I needed greatly with a sore upper neck/back area, which just makes me feel like I haven't slept at all. Icy Hot is helping but fuck. I'm tired of getting older, it fucking sucks.

With my settlment money I'm paying for everyone on the forum to have back surgery. It's on me guys. You all need it.

Clearly...

[Aksannyi]

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Good because I bank with BOA and I've never had any problems but I definitely can't afford for them to go under.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

In for free back surgery.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I don't want back surgery. That stuff is dangerous and pretty much a last resort. The prospect of needing back surgery absolutely terrifies me. If they mess that up you are totally fucked.
