What are your pet peeves

[rushworks graphics]

one of my "pet peeves" is the word...."pet peeves"...just grinds me up the wrong way.. lol..

 

[Pat Whatley]

When the boss man asks for my opinion, even though he's already set on his asinine plan

I ask my minion for his opinion all the time then do the exact opposite. It helps me keep him beaten down to a level where he's afraid to open his own shop and forces him to accept my mental superiority.

Sometimes my dinner isn't on the table when I arrive home and I have to sit around drinking beer and watching TV until it's ready.

 

[StarSign]

Customers who really need the job done today, but don't show back up for a week to pick up the sign.

"Just make what the plans show" you make it and then "Oh, that's not what I wanted"

Hehe, I'll keep that in mind after I start my own shop next month.

Pet Peeves - let's see...

Customers who try to dictate your pricing...

Customers with no sense of personal space...

Creepy customers who are the presidents of irrelevant fan clubs...

The dreaded "Cant' you do that any cheaper?" customer....

 

[Steve C.]

Customers who walk in talking on a cell phone.

Customers who bring their kids in and allow them to run wild.

Two customers come in together and then spend 30 minutes standing at my
counter discussing what kind of signs they want.

Real Estate customers.

Customers who give you a web link where you can steal the art they want
you to print.

Solicitors.

 

[Colin]

Customers who bring their kids in and allow them to run wild.

I was gonna say that too........or those who allow their dog to run wild outside.

 

[megacab]

This could start to go in a direction no one was counting on................

Especially since Jill was talking about elbows and then 2 guys come on and start talking about their eyebrows.....

[omgsideburns]

butt sweat. yup gotta be butt sweat.

not so much the sweat, but the chafing you get after you've sweat, cooled off enough that you aren't sweating but now everything is just sticking until it starts to shred like a rubber eraser.. ugh.

 

[Bly]

Sometimes my dinner isn't on the table when I arrive home and I have to sit around drinking beer and watching TV until it's ready.

+ Sometimes I even have to open my own beers.

pet peive #1.
customers who dont really proof their printing, even though i have a proof sheet, and spend several minutes lecturing each print cusomter about spelling and phone numbers at least 30%-40% of my customers get jobs redone and its their fault...

pet pieve #2.
LOCAL sign shops on this forum that WHORE out their wares. obviously you aren't making money on that job, why not just quit business and hang it up...all your doing is trashing the rest of the market.

#3.

Most humans.
Plumbers crack; on a woman.

 

[Spud Murphy]

People who hold their second finger and thumb apart and say -"Eh...Make it a 3" letter"

Unless it's a woman plumber...wink

Ya, and people who get fixated on letter height, instead of the space that they have to work with.

 

[Jillbeans]

Oh yeah. I hate that. Like they want CHIROPRACTOR in 6" letters on a 8"x24" sign.
Or following architect spex stating something similar, in Arial of course.

Yes, and if, after drawing it up, you state that the letter height will be 2.75", even with a condensed sort of typeface, they feel like they're getting ripped off. "I want my 6" letters!!!"

 

[Ponto]

...essentially, people,....yeah, people.... they gotta' be the worst.....especially the ones with pet peeves.........:ROFLMAO:
