Overly negative people!

Online real estate ads with no pictures or only 1, Hey Realtors out there get a camera use the auto-focus feature and add some picture to your listings.

Don't get me wrong a lot do (great deal don't), I am aware that those listings of million $$$ or more usually have privacy issues.
I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.

People who complain about people complaining - I know that's an old one. Better yet, those that complain about particular posters who name call and then do the name calling themselves.
Truths can be backed up by facts - do you have any?

People who think it's ok to let their little dog run free, because it's little. Then it torments my dog who is contained in her fenced yard, and god forbid I dare say anything to the owner..................I'm told to put her bark collar back on :ohmygod:

Incomplete postings and emails,
" have you seen my little brown dog " I'll just guess what part of the country you live in.
" I'm looking for a place to rent on the other side of the lake" Sure thing, what side of the lake are you on now ?
A supervisor just sent us an email to make sure all the crew members are signed up for the next course, no course name, place or date.
A note from an employee " we had trouble with the door " what kind of trouble, which door, there are a couple dozen.

Just a few seconds to include some details would make things much better.

I agree. I'd also add people who complain about people who complain about people complaining Better yet, posters who don't know the difference between you're and your.

P.S. your an idiot. :dyinglaughing:










p.s. I only say that because fancy is anything but an idiot. lol.


(It's also a bet peeve of mine when people complain about people who complain about people who complain about people complaining, but that's another story.)

Some one who is trying to order something you need an appointment for, demanding that we clear our schedule, wanting a quote on the service without giving us the right details to work with. Oh, and as icing on the cake: English is not their first language and they can barely get by with it.

I want that half hour I spent on the phone with them BACK.

My pet peeve is people who cannot seem to get it through their thick heads that a flashing green light becomes a four-way stop when the light is red. Seriously people, you don't need to honk your horn at me for safely following rules.

I walked into a women's clothing store today, was looking forward to it, planned it and neither of the sales staff even spoke to me.

Not a "hello, can I help you.. let me know..." or "we're closing soon." Nada. Nothing.
