is it an elephant-sized pet peeve if it *really* ticks you off?
I'm certain I've raved about this at length before, but honestly.
Phone: *ring, ring*
Woman: Can I please speak to S.?
Me: She's not in; would you like her voicemail?
Woman: I just spoke with her.
Me: Well, she just stepped out.
Woman: I need to come by and see her.
Me: She's in the mall. I don't know what she's doing or how long she is going to be. I don't know what her schedule is for the afternoon, so you'll need to speak with her about that.
Woman: I...well...I told you...Can't you page her or something?
Me: No. I can give you her voicemail or give her a message when she gets back.
Woman: Well, I'm just going to come out there.
Me: Like I said, I don't know if she'll be available.
Woman: I'm coming. Tell her I'll be there by 3:30pm.
Me: Sure. *click*
Boss gets back and I tell her. Luckily for me, she pretty much hates it when people just drop by unannounced or without checking with her (especially when people are coming for what this woman was coming for). The lady showed up at 3:30pm. My boss has been talking to some employees 'in a meeting' for almost 20 minutes now, making the lady wait. HA. HA.
The lady is now making huffing noises sitting in the lobby like she's annoyed. What the fuck EVAR beeyotch.
Amidst all of this, there was also another phone call for my boss, which was the phone version of the above, with the person not liking the fact that she was unavailable for his call. Eff you, dude.
You want prompt attention? Make a fucking appointment, yo. Would it be wrong to make that into a sign and display it prominently on my desk?
ETA: Oh, and what the heck? Stolen from blackmoonruby
Everyone who reads this can ask me 3 questions: no more, no less. Ask me anything you want, and I will give you an honest answer (though I reserve the right to answer evasively *grin*). Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this, allowing me to ask you anything!
I'm horribly unexciting though.
