Another Pet Peeve & A BEEEYOTCH!
Here's another thing that drives me at work. I ask, "Your name please?" and they answer with only their first name. eg: "Scott" (That was the most recent caller.)
Well, Scott, I don't think you are the only Scott in Manitoba... you think you could narrow that down a little by giving me your LAST name?!?
Well, I don't say that of course, but I'd like to!
Like when someone gives their policy number or something & I pull up their file, then I'd ask the name. When all I get from them is a first name I just wonder if they were dropped on their heads as babies or something! Like, duh, obviously I am going to need your full name to confirm this is YOU!
Ugh. I know, it's petty, but little things like that just drive me! But... I keep my smily voice and just nicely say, "And your last name please?"
You know what else I hate?
BITCHES!
OMG! I was snooping around diaryland & came across Weathergeek's ex's site...goldglow... I have been STEAMING mad since I read the last entry... Her & he went out for ... hmmm... maybe a year? They were in love, as far as I knew... but it ended... just wansn't meant to be. I thought they were trying to be civil, possibly even end up friends... but I guess she isn't grown up enough for that. He was going through some hard times with the passing of his Grandfather... I got an email asking for a prayer... so I did that & sent him a message. I think he sent that to a few people. I see nothing wrong with that whatsoever. Nothing wrong with seeking a little comfort from those around you that you care about. Well I imagine she got this email too, because in that entry she says:
"I had to deal with WeatherGeek! :( Not so thrilled, don't really care about his Grandpa and don't want to start a pity party for him either. Just another cry for attention from WeatherGeek and I'm not falling for it. Move on buddy, erase me... grow up!!"
That made me so freaking MAD! How can anyone be so heartless!?!
So I sent her this note:
I stumbled across this site and found that I knew you. I also know Weathergeek & want to say that I didn't know you were such an insensitive person... I have other words, but I will keep them to myself. It angers me that you once said you loved someone and then would be so harsh to say something like that when his grandfather passed. Are you human? I hope you raise your son better than that. He would have been there for you if you needed a kind word or a prayer, even after being hurt & all you went through... and you call it some "Pity-Party"? Nice... real nice. Is it a wonder you are still alone if that's the way you treat people? I am glad you two didn't end up together and he is with someone who doesn't seem so cold.
Am I a bitch for writing that? I don't think so... I mean, she even met the Grandfather... it just seems so cruel. I hope Weathergeek isn't going to be right pissed at me for doing that... or writing about it here... but I just have to stick up for people I care about... If your mad bud, let me know & I'll remove this part of my post...
I wonder if I am going to get a nasty rebuttle from her on my comments or notes... not that I care... I can keep 'em or bump em if I like...
But I just had to get that all off my chest... thanks. I was sooo mad there! I am okay now.
Ta-ta for now!
