"WHAT"?

....

"OH OK"


dont make me repeat myself unless you really didn't hear the first time
BITCH

 

[Ermc_G6]

Having worked those sorts of jobs, I am 100% more understanding in those situations.

 

[Moppet13]

Delivering Pizzas for a living these days I get quiet a few of these!

I go to deliver a pizza at 9pm (okay it' not always 9 but that was the most memorable time) and when I get there the guy is wasted. I take the money and I hand him the pizza, he proceeds to throw it on the messy floor in his living room. I leave and get back to the shop and it turns out he ended up calling my boss saying I took his money and didn't deliver his pizza.

Half the houses I go to ask me if I want to play beer pong.

 

[Amory]

This guy I work with says "technically speaking" and "honestly speaking" at least 10 times per conversation.

"Hey is that product ready for shipment?"

"Technically speaking. There are a few problems that, honestly speaking, I don't think are all that significant."

"Ok...so will it go out today?"

"Honestly speaking, I don't think so." etc, etc

It's pretty annoying.

 

[Lucky Forward]

Person 1: "Hey, how are you?"

Person 2: "How ya doing?"

Person 1: "How are you?"

Person 2: "Great, how you doing?"

Person 1: "Awesome, how are you?"

Oh my God this. It's like... Ok take a second to process what I just said but don't say "what?" just to buy some time. Assss hole

 

[Bread]

Oh my God this. It's like... Ok take a second to process what I just said but don't say "what?" just to buy some time. Assss hole

Sometimes I do this because I miss the first part of the sentence, so I would say "oh ok" halfway through the sentence. Is this ok with you sir?

 

[J-Roderton]

Also, had this discussion on the phone this week:

"Hey, what's up?"

"Not much. What's going on?"

"Ah, not shit, what's going on with you."


I also hate when people mumble.

[alphaNoid]

I don't do this, but there is this guy at my work.. he is so awkward socially, you can tell he sweats beads when people talk to him. He's just so nervous to speak to other humans, its kind of sad but I find it funny so every time I see him I say "Whats Up?"

And it goes like this everytime ...

poor guy

 

[GameplayWhore]

"Bye!"
"You too."

Why is that awkward? "Bye" is a contraction of "God be with ye"

 

[HammerOfThor]

Are you dating the same girl as that guy from the "Has your significant other ever asked you to rape them?" thread?

HAHA no but that thread reminded me of mine.

A lot of the times I didn't hear and people just REFUSE to repeat themselves.

 

[Clydefrog]

I love thecheese's threads because I know they will be accompanied by hilarious MS Paint comics. I also love thecheese's threads because I know people will alter his already funny MS Paint comics into other things.

keep it up, cheeseman!

oh and, yeah.. your girlfriend is stunning

 

[crowphoenix]

Speaking of bitching about vapid drivel...

Just trying to meet my quota.

 

[Stet]

Fortunately, that's not how language and etymology work, otherwise "hello" would mean "stop".

 

[Dr.Palutena]

responding with someone saying "'sup" with "'sup"

going "you too" when it makes no sense.

 

[Silphonica]

Your gf/wife's body is a sock puppet.

 

[GameplayWhore]

I always stop when someone says hello.

 

[narcosis219]

Me: "Careful when working with XYZ, you shouldn't pull too quickly or it will snap off"
A: "Sure"
A *pulls the damn thing as hard as he can, snaps off"
A: (not jokingly or sarcastically): "What the hell, why didn't you just tell me if it was so fragile? Don't just watch me do it"

Me (I JUST FUCKING TOLD YOU FUUUUUU I DON'T EVEN)

 

[orion434]

I HATE the implied "we" in a professional setting. Please just tell me what you want me to do... because I know you're not gonna do shit!

 

[Noaloha]

I was on the phone to a customer's secretary last week, we made our brief introductions and she very politely wished me "Good morning". However, it was around 1pm at that point. I had no idea how to respond. I ended up just denying her the return "Good ______" and blustered on to the point of the call, feeling kinda rude.

 

[joelseph]

Haahaha perfect, leave it to Jill with the big penis.

Me (I JUST FUCKING TOLD YOU FUUUUUU I DON'T EVEN)

Somewhat similar to something a lot of my cousins do.

Him: You should watch Movie A
Me: Don't spoil it because I want to see it.
Him: I'm not going to spoil it. I'm just going to talk about how they kill the main character in the end.
Me: I JUST TOLD YOU NOT TO SPOIL IT!

I'd say this is a great video of how some of us feel when these moments happen...

Those are some crazy looking breasts.

 

[kehs]

Me: "Good Afternoon, Can I help you?"

assholes: "Joe?"

Me: "No, I'll put him on, may I ask who is calling?"

Me: assholes: "oh, okay can I speak with Joe?"

Me: "Yea sure, may I ask who is speaking"

assholes: ".........is Joe there"

Me: "........"

 

[CornBurrito]

assholes: ".........is Joe there"

Me: "........"

Well why do you need to know?

 

[UFRA]

Well why do you need to know?

Joe has the right to know if assholes are calling him!

 

[kehs]

Well why do you need to know?

It's a business.

Hey Joe, uh...call for you....uh....it's uh some dude....

These are more annoying:

me: "good afternoon, can I help you"

them: "who am I speaking to?"

 

[LuchaShaq]

assholes: ".........is Joe there"

Me: "........"

At my work we hang up on people that do that because 90% of the time they are just someone who wants to cry about something trivial.

Well usually you announce your name and department/company when answering phones don't you?
I do.

Example: Hi you've reached (insert company/department) this is (insert name) speaking. (optional how can I help you).

 

[kehs]

It's a small operation, maybe I should start though. Hmm..

 

[PigSpeakers]

"Oh, you cut your hair!"

"No, I got it cut by someone else."



And, when I'm working I'll ask:

"Are you finding everything alright?" meaning is everything to your liking or are you having any problems today.

Without fail my response will be something like

"Yeah, I'm finding everything." Or "I found a little more than I was looking for today".

The other day I asked a customer "How did you find everything today?"

"With my eyes"

I'm starting to think this question doesn't translate over well with people for some reason.

I will! I have a lot to complain about tbh... #firstworldproblems of course.

Where do you work? People ask me that in Best buy a lot I usually just say "I'm good"

I love Socially Awkward Penguin! It reminds me of this time I saw a guy on a train I'd only met a few times before, and I just said to him 'Hey Chris!' and he replied 'Hey, thanks!...'

That is the worst possible thing to ask. People will immediately put up their defenses even if they actually aren't finding what they need. Far better just to start a conversation to put them at ease and then if they need help they'll naturally ask.

 

[Oozinator]

I HATE IT when I go to a store and ask/order something and the worker asks me to repeat what I said, kinda offending

So you take everything literally? Autistic by any chance? IIRC they suck at understanding figurative language.

INB4: "No I don't take anything. You can't pick up words!"

 

[whatsinaname]

I do this at restaurants.

Waiter: "How would you like the eggs?"
Me: "Well done."
Waiter: "...."

I usually answer the phone at work, and I get annoyed by those people who seem to be in some hurry and don't leave a name or reason for calling. What do I tell the person who received the call. Some woman with a nasal whiny voice called? Also people who hang up once I tell them 'hello, this is XYZ Inc'. Say something before you hang up. Don't leave me wondering if it was an issue with the phone line.

I've never had people not understand my Indian accent on the phone. But in person, it is as if they expect not to understand what I am pronouncing and ask me to repeat myself.

What's with the insults?

Oh, stealth edit. You need to relax a bit.

 

[bluehat9]

Don't really like when a cashier asks, "Did you find everything you were looking for?"

What are they going to do if I say no? Leave the register to go find it? Tell me to go talk to customer service? What about 'oh, better luck next time'?

I would've asked someone for help if I needed it before I decided to check out.

 

[Timber]

Dude, your girlfriend is stacked. Yesssss.

Hah. Next time they ask me that. I'll look surprised and just bolt off running as fast as I can.
