“People who put stuff in front of the mailbox like trash cans and cars. We’re still required to deliver the mail, so it now involves turning off the truck, hoping out and walking to the box when you could just not put stuff right in the way.”

“I’m a fourth grade teacher, and I hate when parents defend their child’s poor behavior. Like, it’s cool with you if Timmy throws a chair at another student for no reason? And even better, it’s my fault?”

“I hate when guests check into a room, lay all over the beds, use the restroom and THEN decide they don’t like it and switch rooms. You couldn’t have decided that before you messed everything up?”

“If your server is handing out drinks from a tray, please don’t try to be helpful by taking the drinks off the tray! They are the ones balancing the tray and you removing a drink will easily throw it off and dump the entire tray.”

“I’m a server. Sometimes when I ask a table if they’re ready to order, they’ll say yes, then just open up their menus and start chatting to each other about what they want. If I ask if they want more time, they say no, we’re ready. Then another minute or so of sitting and browsing the menu while I stand there. I have other things to do. Ready to order means ready to order. Minor questions are fine, but don’t make me stand there on a busy night while you take your sweet time deciding what you want.”

“Adopters making me go through the hoops so they can meet animals and THEN tell me ‘I can’t adopt right now because __.’ If you’re not ready to adopt that day, feel free to look around, but don’t make the employees run around having you meet animals that aren’t even going to be available when you’re ready to take an animal home.”
