People Who Are Infront Of You

You know, those people in front of you when you're walking in a mall or building or somewhere, and suddenly they stop right in front of you for no particular reason and just stand there blocking your way.   Oh you wanted to go on this elevator?  Well I'll just stop and block you from doing that for no real reason.  Oh you wanted to get into this room? But I want to stand in front of the doorway cause it's pretty or something.  Yeah those people make me rage.

Neighbors with bad voices

Dear neighbors, yes both of you-
Stop singing to your awful music early on a Saturday morning with your awful voice.

Sincerely,
your neighbor that contemplates doing reconstruction at 4am as payback, and even that's not a fair payback.

Wrong Number Callers

Sometimes these people don't bother me, usually they do... it really depends on what is said.  It also depends on when they call, since I have a New York area code, but live in Washington(3 hr time zone diff)... people have a tendency to call me really early in the morning(when its only say 9am for them it's 6am for me)... then I have less patience for them since they woke me from my slumber.

Here is the Okay scenario:
Me:*picks up phone, sees its a random number I don't recognize* Hello?
Caller: Hi is ::name:: there?
Me: No you have the wrong number.
Caller: Oh I'm sorry.

Here is what usually happens:
Me: Hello?
Caller: Who is this!??!?!?!
Me: Who is this?
Caller: WHO IS THIS!?!?!
Me: You called me. Don't you know?
Caller Hangs Up.

Or this happens:

Me:Hello?
Caller: Who is this!??!?!?!
Me: Who is this?
Caller: Dude where's ::name::!!!!  Put her/him on the phone.
Me: I think you have the wrong number, no ::name:: here.
Caller: Stop joking with me, put her on.
I Hang Up

And then there was this one time this happened...
Me:Hello?
Caller:Who is this?  John?  Is that you?
Me: No, this is not John, I think you have the wrong number.
Caller: Dude John, put ::female name:: on the phone.
He kept going too, not listening to a word I said, I eventually hung up.

Morning Drivers

Dear Mr. Tesla Driver license EV NV,
I've seen you on multiple occasions when driving in the morning, each occasion I also witness you shaving.  Stop.  Seriously, just stop shaving and driving at the same time.  We have enough bad drivers out here as it is, we don't need someone like you adding to the problem.

Sincerely,
Person who hopes you get into a nonserious accident, leading to no physical damage to your body, but resulting in you shaving your eyebrows and part of your hair off.

Interviews

Ok lets not even consider the fact that this place was far away, I didn't know where it was, the weather was crazy for driving(fog, heavy rain to the point of not seeing the cars or road signs around me)... Lets just talk about the interview... or lack there of.

It starts with me getting there early.  I had no idea how long it'd take to get there, google said 30-50 min depending on traffic.  There was no traffic, and I got there 30 min early.  I decided to review some interview question practice stuff before i went in to just calm my nerves.  Then still 20min before the interview I enter the building and look for the office.  This was a huge building where lots of businesses are, and the first thing that happens is I enter, and the whole place feels dead.  7 out of the 8 doors I could see that led to businesses look closed.  The whole building felt creepy, the lighting was poor, and there was so freaky UPS dude outside the building... he looks really suspicious and he just stared at me.  Anyway, no surprise the place i had my interview at is also not open.  Since it's early I figure I'll just wait till someone comes.  I sit there waiting for 40min.  I tried calling the person who scheduled the interview and was sent straight to voicemail.  I decided waiting 20min after the start of the interview was enough, left a note on the door, and realized I was going to ask them the best way to drive home... since my phone is a piece of crap and I don't have GPS... yay now I can't drive home in crazy fog and rain, without knowing how to get home.

What I want to know though, is who schedules an interview, actually bothers to write it down, give you the info, and then not show up?  Seriously, if you didn't want to interview me, you could have not scheduled in the first place or you could have... oh I don't know, canceled! Save me the drive, the 2 hrs of my life I'll never get back from driving and waiting, the additional time it takes to write this stupid rage post.. among other things.

The Pencils at Work

I spend 10 minutes trying to sharpen 5 pencils that keep breaking in the sharpener before I finally have decently sharpened pencils.  I then sit down  and low and behold each pencil breaks as it touches the paper.  I don't press hard, I write very gently... but these pencils hate me and everyone else at the center.

Media Mail

While on vacation at my parent's I wanted ot mail some of my older books home, and seeing how I didn't need them right away I used Media Mail rather than putting them in my checkin and risk going over the weight limit...  It was cheap, but when I got the box it was torn open and a number of my books had their bindings completely ripped and destroyed.

Compact Parking

You're behind a minicooper in a parkinglot, there are 2 parking spots, one is compact(and technically closer to the store) the other is normal size.  Of course the minicooper takes the normal sized one, and forces you to park in the tiny spot.  What a jerk.
