Then they work the register and handle money. Don't kid yourself; the gloves are so they don't get their hands dirty.

How about people who ask the price for 10 banners and then say -"OK, I'll just take 4"

I am beginning to hate women. When did we start allowing them into the graphics business?

People that come in and don't stay in the sales area. Sometimes I'm by myself on the phone and a customer will come in. I give them the one finger, "I'll be with you in one second," and the next thing you know they are walking around the production area. I'm considering putting down some floor graphics of a fire pit.

Ya, I frequently get the very strange request to quote on 1, 10, 100, 500, 1000 of something. What, don't you know how many you want/need? If you're wanting a price on larger quantities, why on earth would you want a price on just one?

CLEARLY your fault using the wrong finger.

Simple, I choose your place of business and I hand you money (that pays your salary) you give me a thank you. When I was in college I worked at a convenience store and every customer got a thank you from me after the sales transaction. It annoys me every time they hand me the bag and say "there you go" or nothing at all. I can go to any store or any restaurant (fast food or not). A simple thank you after receiving my money is just proper. And yes I always say thank you to them for their service. Whether they do or not.

Pet Peeve in "life"

Pet Peeve with women

Gypsy,
Haha! "Dude" would be absolutely shocked at what is going on my bathroom door at the shop soon. I know Dude is just trying to get our goat and our attention. So, let's get his too!
Dear Dude,
The owner of the building where my shop is located has not created separate sections for the bathroom area, which is fine with me. I don't mind Dudes, there are (7) Dudes in my life that happen to be my brothers. I'm used to the way they are and have accepted them for their shortcomings. Heck, they are handy to have around sometimes too, so why complain?
So, Dude, my shop's bathroom is a community bathroom, because I am okay with that. We do have housekeeping service that cleans the bathrooms, which the Landlord will cover if I share the bathroom with others. So far, it works. We have peace. If not in the middle east, we have peace in our bathroom.
Dude, if you ever need to use the bathroom when you visit, you have to be escorted to the back of my shop, then there is a little carpeted trail you need to stay on (sorta like the yellow brick road) that leads to the bathroom. This little carpeted trail runs through a very large shop area. The people who work in that shop area do not work with me or for me, they have their own bathrooms on the other side of the building. My rent includes this bathroom so it is there for people in my shop and for my own Customers. However, the Mechanics (Dudes) in the neighboring shop do like to use it because it is convenient for them and it is usually empty. They like to catch up on there reading in the stalls, or "rest" in the restroom, if you know what I mean! :Big Laugh
Back to my trail story...so, Dude, when you arrive to your final destination (again - the bathroom!) it's a good idea to knock before entering... Gives time for those inside (usually Dudes) to get their "stuff" together.
Once inside, there are urinals to the left, stalls to the right. I'm about to create a sign for the door that reads:
<--------Hosers
Squatters----->
We have mostly Dudes in our building. I may let them use my bathroom, but if they don't behave, I'll keep that room locked!!!
Nothi'n like a little control, ha?
tee hee!

thanks Jill for making my list for me
to add to it is files from "designers"
files from "designers" that have no clue that a .375" letter is of no use on a 4' x 8' sign hung 2 floors up on a wall 100 yards from the road
people who think people who make signs can't design a sign...
