This is a question Driven to Madness

Captain Placid asks: What annoying things do significant others, workmates and other people in general do that drive you up the wall? Do you want to kill your other half over their obsessive fridge magnet collection? Driven to distraction over your manager's continued use of Comic Sans (The Font of Champions)? Tell us.

People who
can't take no for an answer.
At work we get people enquiring about whether we sell certain items.
I'm quite happy to go find out for them if we do have whatever it is they want but sometimes I know for a fact that we don't have it.
Whenever I tell people this they get stroppy and refuse to believe me. So they'll go and ask another member of staff and
being given the same answer react the exact same way.
Yes its a conspiracy we're all lying so we can laugh at you after you've left and it can't possibly be because we really don't have what you want.

And then they say
"but I asked over the road and they said that you sell it".
Yes, because that shop over there know our stock better than we do.

I'm reminded of when people wouldn't believe me that we didn't have a certain book in stock.
"Check the store room then."
"I've just spent three hours rearranging stock in the store room madam, we do not have that book in stock."
"No you haven't, go and check for me please"
"Ok"

Ten minutes a cup of tea and a mars bar later..

"Sorry madam, i've checked everywhere and we really don't have it in stock."

I've got some guy who rings on my door bell trying to me sell stuff, on account of him being homeless or some such bollocks
His prices are hideous for kitchen products I could buy at half the price at my local super market,; and he genuinely doesn't take no for an answer. I made the mistake of revealing I support Arsenal soccorball team, so he turns up on my doorstep singing some crap I haven't done since the nineties last at Highbury. But he really can't take no for an answer; I had to forcibly tell him to fuck off a couple of weeks ago, and he actually asked me if he could help me with any current problems with my life. I slammed my front door in his face, I hope he understood.

All the bloody time!
One woman wanted a half bottle of vodka which we'd run out of on the shelf, so I checked under the counter where we keep the extra bottles of spirits and we didn't have any there either. I informed her of this and she asked me if we had any in the back or upstairs. We don't keep vodka upstairs, and I've just checked to see if we had any more in the place where we keep the spare bottles, you just watched me you cretin!

I KNEW it!
It IS a conspiracy!
Now give me that fucking Plasma Rifle with a 40 Watt range, human.
