So agree.Also can't stand when someone calls me, and continues talking to someone else when I pick up. I understand when I call someone that they might be in middle of a conversation, but don't call me while you're in middle of talking to someone else
Even worse when they decide to YELL at their kids while talking to you. I hang up when someone does that. I don't need busted eardrums because of your little terrors.
People eating while on the phone. This is a very real 'pet peeve'. Not list of things that annoy me. It's one thing if I call you and you happen to be mid bite. It's quite another if you're eating lunch and think now is a good time to call Stbaum. I have news for you. I will hang up the phone. I've done it to customers. To my (old) boss, and to one other person I don't want to say. I feel it's the most disgusting thing you can hear over the phone. I literally lose control.It happened again today during a conference call and my (new) boss was sitting right there and I couldn't hang up. I couldn't say anything. All I could do was take deep breaths and hope nothing important was being said because all I could hear was chewing. Am I alone here?
Not as bad as being on an important business phone call and the nincompoop on the other end begins bentching suddenly."Nu, nu, hu nosein lechem l'col bosor, uh huh, nu..."
The guy younare having an important business call with- he starts bentching in middle of the conversation?!
Yup
Beyond ridiculous...
I once called somebody & he answers "תקע בשופר גדול" (He was saying חזרת הש״ץ). So I did as he recommended & gave him a nice loud תקע right in his ear.
I can't stand these "knowledgeable" CVS cashiers who think that I'm only allowed to buy 1 GC per purchase making me do 4 purchases.I'm asking him why he doesn't do all 4 together, he replies I'm working here long enough that I know that you can't... I wanted to tell him I'm doing it long enough that I can tell you that you can...
Mikvah surge pricing is wrong, unethical, immoral and probably illegal.I understand that the askonim and machers need to make yom tov, but this is just killin me.
