Just two for now
I have many many niggling little things that irk me, often for no logical reason. It would take me forever to list them all, so for now I'll just post two.

1) Trainees. No matter how many times they are shown "how" to do something, no matter how many times they practice it, how many times they are told the read the clear as crystal instructions, they still manage to BUGGER THINGS UP the next time they come to do it. OH and when moving files and folders around and the book wants you to do it a particular way, DO IT THAT WAY and then you won't need me to come and reset all your files becuase you've lost them somewhere. I don't know where you moved them to within the vastness of the network and I don't have the time to find them.

2) Customers. If I'm on the phone, don't bother speaking to me. I will ignore you after acknowledging your presence (you can see I'm on the phone). If you take offense to me ignoring you because I'm on the phone instead of seeing to your need immediately, do not be surprised if you don't get the best service. Conversely, if you are patient, I will apologise for keeping you waiting and perhaps even offer you a small discount. Also, learn to read. There is a BIG poster facing you as soon as you walk in the door (impossible to miss unless you're blind) informing you what today's soup is. So when you ask me what todays soup is while standing look STRAIGHT AT THE POSTER that I in no way obscure, do not be surprised if I look at you like you have two heads.

It goes on. These are brief examples. I'm a nice person to my customers and trainess, honest. I can't vent my spleen at them, but I can here.
