I'm sitting on hold, waiting for someone to take my call. Some lady keeps interrupting my musical experience... "Thank you for your patience! Your call is very important! Please remain on the line... blah blah blah". How annoying! Just play the music and let me work on something else until a real person picks up!
Not a very positive mindset, I know, but this led me to start thinking about other things that annoy me. While I'm waiting, I might as well make a top 10 list of things that annoy me, starting with the current issue:
10) When I'm on hold and the hold music is constantly interrupted by a voice saying "Thank you for holding, your call is very important, please remain on the line..." Just play the darn music and leave me alone!
9) Boxes of paper clips that are labeled "Staples" (Yes I'm just looking around on my desk for things that annoy me. It's harder than you think to come up with 10 annoyances!)
8) Online video players that hang in the middle of a clip even though the clip is already sufficiently downloaded to your computer (such as the Microsoft Starlight player or whatever it's called used by the NBC Olympics website)
7) Asterisks that don't lead anywhere (except for the one in the LunchClub.com logo)
6) When an automated phone menu asks you to enter your account number or social security number, and then when you reach the attendent they ask for the same info
5) Automated phone menus that claim "Our menu options have changed" (YOUR OPTIONS HAVE NOT CHANGED! STOP INSULTING MY INTELLIGENCE!!)
4) Ridiculous made up fees on bank accounts, such as the "Inactivity Fee" (Yes, I'm talking to you, Chase Bank.)
3) When I'm trying to leave a voice mail and I have to sit through a long obnoxious automated message, such as "The caller you are attempting to reach is not available. At the tone I will take your message, or press 5 to page this person. Press 6 to leave a call back number. When you are finished with your message, if you are satisfied with your message, press pound, or hang up to deliver the mesage, or press star for more options. [PAUSE...] [PAUSE...] [CALLER COMMITTING SUICIDE...] BEEEEEP!"
2) When my Internet connection is slow
And finally, the biggest annoyance of them all...
1) The term "pet peeve"

Hahaha!
Agreed. Especially #s 10, 8, 6, 5, 3, and 2 are things that drive me nuts . . . pet peeves if you will.
Absolutely #6! The person on the other end of the phone is SO lucky that I can't get my hands around their neck. . .
