Pissed List: THAT Guy at the Movies, Disappearing Girlfriends and a Not So Jolly Christmas
December 21, 2008 Posted in Reality
[I like to think of myself as a pretty easy going gal, and try not to sweat the small stuff. But sometimes (ok, maybe slightly more often) the general cluelessness, carelessness and overall stupididty of some things and or/people really gets to me. I find that venting is the most efficient way to rid myself of the stress that idiots, wrong meal orders, lack of cell phone ettiquette and cheese flavored products (that don’t even contain any freaking cheese!) induce.
So, in an attempt to avoid an ulcer or an unfortuante road rage incident, I vent to you, dear reader. Please feel free to join in and comment about anything–really, anything–that pissed. you. off. this week. Let it all hang out. I feel you.]
People who shout the name of movies as the previews roll: Obviously, people who talk during movies are a**holes. That’s why the cute food from the concession stand urges you not to! And previously to my last cinematic experience, I could care less about the people who talked during previews (I mean, most of the time I’m not even there yet so I can’t hate.) Then I sat behind a guy who was of the mindset that I had entered his private theater, and was in for a treat as he displayed his psychic/ trivia powers. As soon as the trailer had been running for 5 seconds, he would confidently (and really effing loudly) shout the title of the movie being advertised. Seriously?! The only thing worse than this habit was the beaming look he kept giving his wife, who reluctantly high fived him when he got one right. This is why I have Netflix…
Lack of the Yuletide spirit. Maybe it’s just because I live in Florida and the closest thing we’ve got to snow is the shaved ice on the rims of tropical drinks, but I still don’t feel like Christmas is in less than 4 days (despite department stores putting up their decor the day after Halloween). I mean, there’s a lack of lights on houses, the malls are still empty, even my Christmas tree doesn’t have that magical scent. I guess the economic blues have replaced the seasonal mirth this year. I’m not demanding carolers or anything (although a good rendition of “O Holy Night” hits the spot every time), but please, if there really is a Santa Clause (or a Hannukah Harry) send me a little seasonal joy.
The Houdini Friend. We’ve all got that one friend. She’s awesome, sweet, hilarious– and one of your favorite drinking buddies. What’s not to love? And then you are reminded with her next whirlwind crush. She’s got a pretty reliable two week relationship lifespan… with every new guy she meets. She becomes so enamored for the first 5 or 6 days that you don’t see her at all, and her disappearing act could earn her a spot in Vegas (hence the title). The next thing you know, she’s calling you to constantly to bitch about Prince Charming’s flaws (who knew you could find so much to complain about in one week?). Finally, you end up consoling her as she breezes through boxes of Kleenex (she really thought this was finally the one) before insisting that you go out for a girls’ night. Requisite dancing around to Spice Girls, getting ready and pre-gaming ensues, then BAM! Homegirl has slinked off into a secluded corner to be wooed by the newest Flavor of the Week…
Stupid co-workers: Namely, that girl you’ve been training for the last… 2 months. Whether she’s f**king up the official phone greeting, he’s the guy who just can’t seem to grasp the concept of his minimum wage schtick, or she’s the hostess constantly overloading you with (or worse, neglecting to give you any) tables. You dread working with them, just because you know that your day or shift will be inundated with absolutely idiotic questions. You’ve subtly hinted to your boss just how incompetent they really are, but just don’t have the heart to come out and scream : “FIRE THAT DUMBA**!” It’s ok. You can post it on the comments—we understand here.

Oh. My. GOD. I know exactly what you mean. I mean, it it really that hard to work a freaking computer. MICROS is not that crazy hard folks. i promise!
There's a girl I work with who's just an idiot. a total and complete idiot. She doesn't smile at her tables, she constantly looks like she hates being there, and to top it all off, SHE TAKES TABLES THAT ARE MINE!!!!!
my job doesn't get very many tables that come in, we're in a tiny area, and I'm okay with that, but please honey… learn how to do your job.

I work full time for Abercrombie and Fitch so you can imagine just how many of those morons I have to work with. (Although, it is a misconception that all A&F employees are morons, they are just like any other retail employee) BUT there is this one kid that I CAN NOT STAND! He is deaf and I don't know sign language, he can not read lips, he does not speak, and he types everything out on his phone (which takes about 5 minutes per question) and he asks about a question every ten minutes, so most of his shift is standing and having a conversation through text messaging. The questions he asks are the same thing every single time he works, how to do the same shit he does every time he works (this kid has the memory of a fricken walnut!) he's slow at everything he does, he doesn't understand when we try to explain he's doing a bad job, and he does not remember how to do the same simple tasks that he completes every single time he works so we have to re-train him every time he is scheduled.
and to top it all off, he's just plain OBNOXIOUS!
he steps on your shoes just to be funny, he knocks shit out of your henads then walks away and laughs while you pick it back up, he squishes you between rolling racks, he "fake sneezes" and sprays water all over you, and he tries to sneak up on you and says boo! EVERY TIME HE WALKS IN THE ROOM!
and can we fire him? NO cause he's fucking deaf!

Maybe he's overcompensating.

yeah, sounds to me like overcompensating…
although props to him for making the effort to work in an environment thats not catered to his needs.
you cant get mad at the kid for text msging all the time, at least he's making a huge effort to hold a normal job.
also, I've had deaf friends, and maybe he doesnt pay as good of attention b/c he's preoccupied because he's already nervous about having to ask someone via text message about things over and over..
I can understand about the annoying behaviors part though, maybe you should just kindly write him a letter.
but maybe its because i have no idea about the situation, but sounds like the kid needs a break. he just sounds really immature…

Maybe to help him out you could make him a cheat sheet. For example, the steps to make an exchange or refund or how to ring up a gift card. He can obviously read so why don't you try and see what will actually help him and not be a band-aid in the moment. It takes 5 -10 times of repeating an action for it to be committed to memory. If he doesn't work often you could see how easy it is to forget. Make up a cheat sheet of the things he asks the most, in a month he wont need it anymore. As he becomes more confident he'll prolly stop being so "OBNOXIOUS!". If he keeps doing the things you find annoying write him a text saying "We don't have the same sense of humor and I don't find your actions funny. This is a professional (i say this lightly) environment and would appreciate if you didn't do that anymore please".
Simple and to the point.

Tiffany, that is a good idea, problem is though I made him an entire reference pad (took me 3 hours of my own time at home) before his first day so that I would be ready to help him. It has any information he would ever need to know. On his first day he skimmed over it and tossed it aside and has never looked at it again. If I try to point him to it he stops me and texts out, "yeah I've read it!" He's really rude about it and I have done everything I can think of to help him. A lot of the time he wont even let me finish writing something out before he tells me he knows, only to turn around and ask me the exact thing i was going to write. I don't have a lot of patience, but I also don't like making people uncomfortable, so I have compromised my personality a lot for this kid just to make his life easier and himself more comfortable. I've even learned a couple need to know signs to make it easier on him. He is just impossible.
But I will try your advice on his sense of humor. Thanks!
