this girl who came on the dig with my school last year
she never worked and yesterday, she (while not even being in the room, I might add) almost gave me a heart attack. I know it was her 'cause her name was all over the paperwork for this unit. She put artifacts in the wrong box...I thought I was going to be fired and then die because I was missing an ENTIRE unit. X-(

People who use the term retard to refer to person's who are autistic or have developmental differences.
I never liked that term in school, and I don't like it now either. Also I don't like people at my college who feel the need to write nasty things on the dorm room doors and pull the fire alarm at 1:30 in the morning.
One of my biggest peeves is when people call up, but don't give me their name! I have to ask them several times for what they should have offered straight away! Just because they don't want to speak to me, does not mean that the basic social etiquette of giving your name goes out the window. It's not difficult; if you ring someone up, just tell the person who picks up the phone your name, otherwise, why should they relay your message? X-(

when my mum says stuff that she KNOWS will agitate me. I came home for a relaxing weekend away from school and work, not for one filled with arguments...:s
At my uni, we are allowed to get library cards which enable us to borrow at certain other universies. Great, you might think. The problem, however, is that it comes with conditions, and one is that one can not place a hold and order a book from another campus. It therefore has become incredibly inconvenient; as due to practical reasons, I am unable to get a particular book which would have greatly aided me in writing a (current) paper. Now, my paper will be fine without it, but reading the book could provide the cream on the cake, so to speak.
While I understand that I will not have all the rights that the students who go to this particular university have, it defies logic that I can borrow, but I can't reserve an item. We're not talking about a 2 hour loan or an over night loan. Nor are we talking about an item which is reserved by anyone else. This is just an regular loan book, which simply because it happens to be physically located at a particular campus, I can not borrow it as I can not have transferred it to another campus! It's things like this, and other aspects of the uni bureaucracy, which make life much more difficult than it ought to be.

Grrrrr. Just had achilles tendon surgery and can't put any weight on the left foot. Have you ever had to hop everywhere? I do (I use a walker) and it's not fun. It's only the third day and I have at least a month more of this. I guess the upside is I can watch all the Bond movies, again.

when I receive contradicting directions and/or information.
my boss and the director of my department are great ones for this. my boss tells me and my coworker to lay out all the artifacts by plot number, yet the director (who had hidden a bunch of pottery from us already, almost getting me fired until I finally got to tell my boss that it was the director's fault) tells us not to mix certain artifacts back into the general group...even though we have to to 'cause said pottery has plot numbers. X-( grr.
Texting when you can just talk to the person. Recently, while waiting for a business meeting to start, two of my colleagues,
at the same table mind you, were texting each other on their cells. The meeting hadn't begun yet and they were facing each other. There was nothing secret about their talk, just the usual chitchat. I finally lost it. "Just talk to her, for God's sake. She's right in front of you," I said to one. "Don't you people know how to communicate anymore?" The topic of discussion in our meeting was, ironically enough, effective communication. X-( X-( X-( X-(

A friend told me people do this when they want to talk about someone in the room. They can do it, and nobody will know. Lets hope that wasn't the case in the above situation.

I hate it when I'm standing around waiting for a tram, and after a while I leave, only to have the tram go past me a few moments later. X-(

People who walk down the street reading emails or texting on their telephone without paying any attention to where they are going. The streets of Chicago can get pretty busy yet people walk down the street with their head down staring at whatever communication devise they have expecting everyone else to step out of their way. Is it really necessary to be in 24/7 contact with the rest of the world. Are the messages you are getting that interesting that they must be read the second they arrive in your inbox. I have no doubt that emergency rooms have received patients who tripped and fell or ran into something because they weren't paying any attention to where they were going while playing with their phone.
oops, that's me then
Mind you, one of my pet peeves was when I was working at Starbucks and customers would order their coffee whilst still having a conversation on their phone. X-( I always ignored them, and asked what the next customer in line would like - that usually got them finishing their call pretty quick )

eww I hate when that happens. the bus around my campus does that from time to time X-(
X-( It's so annoying. The other problem is that the trams I catch are always late, so even if I do catch them, I have to hang around for far too long.

So I was having pizza for lunch with my brother today at Pizzeria Regina in the North End when I noticed that most people weren't eating the crust on their pizza. What's up with that? When its done right, its my favorite part. Also, traditional north end style pizza is not supposed to be eaten with a knife and fork. Pick up that slice, fold it up the middle, start chomping and lose the silverware. Don't worry if things get a little messy; that's what napkins are for.

Just hearing, that a 16-year old girl was killed by a tram in Freiburg because she did not hear it due to her iPod.

Doctors offices. You make an appointment then you wait an hour past your appointment to see the doctor. Then the doctor orders a service for you (prescription, surgery etc....) and say they'll call you back and they don't. You have to call them to get the ball rolling. X-( X-( X-( X-(

a friend told me this yesterday. in the US at least, doctor's appointments must be SIX MINUTES LONG. no longer. I had never really thought about that until he said it. Then, when your six minutes are up, they shoo you out and tell you to make another appointment...X-(

Don't believe everything your friends tell you, doctors appointments are not 6 minutes long. For the most part, all my appointments have taken as long as they needed, I never felt rushed.

I've always felt rushed...guess it just depends on the doctor.
Ah doctors and hospital consultants! On a par with the legal profession: posh and unaccountable. Backed up by the BMA, the most ruthless trade union in the UK. Except, they don't need to call their members out on strike, oh no, the Government arranges for an unasked pay rise of 50 per cent, in return for doing less work.

I really got upset with this ENT once, after he started talking down to me. Apparently, the fault lay with me, for only coming in when the pain hit.
