Shit that annoys you

[The AD]

You should hire Fred to drive you, you’ll get here in three (3) hours.

Now, that's annoying. You don't think we can read the word "three" and it needs further clarification?

Seriously, though, I've always found this weird.

I had a boss that said “if you ever put that in a document you’re fucking fired.

Write it correctly the first time.”

I always get a chuckle out of that.

It would be kind of fun to fuck with people and write something like "The bill shall be remitted within ten (9) days."

Shit, they can even get to to the Fatherland now. But I did meet a British honey on the flight to London. She lives in Aspen now and we've already discussed skiing together this season.

I flew Lufthansa round trip from Frankfurt to Bucharest two years ago. That was interesting. They had some serious attitude. IIRC we flew in and out of terminal Z in FRA which definitely felt like the ends of the Earth. Even for FRA. The flight crew spoke German and English. All of the Romanian announcements were pre-recorded and played last. They seemed pained when interacting with the Romanian passengers.

When they let 5th graders write for what was once a pretty good magazine.

I love the New Yorker but I never read the Daily Shouts and Shouts and Murmurs. The vast majority are sophomoric humor or not humorous at all. The cartoons are usually pretty good though.

Workaholic bosses and co-workers. Technology has made them unprecedentedly annoying. Seems that everywhere I've worked, you always got that person who's e-mailing and now texting all through the night. Wife's dealing with the same thing. Finally had to teach her about the scheduled Do Not Disturb function on her phone. Even more infuriating is how all these dingbats expect quick responses lest you receive a flurry of follow-up e-mails/texts. ...at 3 AM. Phone comes off DND at 7AM and it always immediately blows up with notifications.

I swear all these people are popping Adderall as they are running around like hyperactive maniacs 24/7. Another common thread among them is they all seem to have NO life outside of work.

My last boss lived in Georgia. Every month they would pick him up at SFO in the Company helicopter so he could work here for the next two weeks, than back home for the rest of the month.
When he was here he liked working 10-14 hours a day, since his option was to sit in an empty apartment. He thought we should be at work with him. And I wasn’t ‘allowed’ to take a ski day when he was here, no matter how good the storm.

I actually lasted for almost two years of him, until I had to say Fuck This, handed in my laptop and turned myself into a full time ski bum. The best decision I made in that period.
I thanked him (when I received a phone call while at the top of Palisades at the Wood) during His retirement party, for motivating me to quit. I don’t think he ever really understood.

I just left my job. I absolutely loved it until I got a new boss

This fucking guy was the biggest square and workaholic I've ever seen. Week one I heard him complain that a co-workers expense report had 3 drinks on it for a dinner. I knew it was going downhill right then.

We worked standard 8-5. He comes in at 7 and leaves at 6/630...every fucking day, and expected us to do the same. Best part is he would tell you he didn't, but he did.

He once questioned if I had put in a full work week the day after I had put in a marathon 13 hr day to get caught up on the bullshit reporting he was requiring.

The last straw was really something...incredible really.

I wanted to see a new oem with big potential. He told me I needed to schedule another visit in the area for it to get approved. I tried for 2 weeks and couldn't get another visit so I told him he should approve it anyway because I needed to go. He said no. So I ended up scheduling a completey worthless meeting to get the Ok and told him it would be worthless.

When I got back (with the largest booking potential we'd seen in a couple yrs) I put trip report together from the good meeting and asked if I should bother with one from the other meeting, since there was no oem volume potential.

He looks at me like I was the world's biggest idiot and says, "why would you schedule a meeting with someone you knew had no potential?"

I started sending resume out the next day

There's stupid and then there's this jackoff. Forget forest through the trees, he doesn't even know what a tree is. Peter Principle at work.
