The phone rings...
me, "hello"
the person calling, "who's this?"
Ohhhhhh! I can't stand that!

I usually tell them, " You called me so you tell me who it is." That usually annoys people so much they just hang up.
 
ATM fees! Wanna choke the hubby when he uses ATM's :)
 
I do that too...
If anyone reading this does this... please stop!!!!

Then last week the phone rings...

me... hello?

caller... hello my name is Kevin, I'm calling from Direct TV

me... Sir, I have not requested any information from your company, this # is on the "do not call list.

caller... I know, but I have a great deal today

me... Sir, Do you understand what the "do no call list is"?

caller... yes, but I want to tell you about this deal

me.. then you understand that I can report this call to the FCC and sue you?

caller... (excitedly) but this really is a great deal!

me... sir, what did you say your name was again

caller.. Kevin

Me... Thank you Kevin, I have documented your name, company name and the number on my caller ID, I am reporting this to the FCC and I am going to sue you

caller.. "click"

me... Kevin???? Are you still there... (dial tone) :rant:
 
Do you report them on the "Do Not Call" registry website?
I make 3-5 reports a week.

My pet peeve - people who chew gum loud enough for me to hear it.
The ones who smack it with their lips open deserve instant death!

I believe if you do business with a company they can still call to solicit you even if you are on the do not call list.....so if you are a DirecTv customer, they can still solicit you.

I'm pretty sure of that.

I worked for a phone company in the past and that is correct. However I have Time Warner cable. My husband and I have never contacted Direct TV for anything.
 
Like, people who like say like after like every other like word!

I would like to add to the phone etiquette peeves.

People that you know that ask for someone else in your household immediately after you answer.

There was this one family that used to live here and when they called they most always wanted to talk to my husband. Which is fine but they wouldnt say "hello" "how are you" or "kiss my foot" - just immediately ask for him. :mmph:

(In a voice loud enough for the caller to hear) "They were too rude to give me their name"

It is people we know. Once or twice I have said (with a touch of sarcasm) " Oh hi! Yes I am doing well thanks for asking..."

My latest peeve for those who dont know: Garbage men who leave my dumpster wherever they feel like it.....parking lot.....by the road....."
 
People sitting in the passenger seat with their legs draped over the dashboard. This has been a pet peeve of mine since someone crashed while 'relaxing'. The airbag deployed and their knees immediately became part of their face.
 
People who talk during movies.. esp teenagers who think its absolutely hilarious to make rude comments, laugh at inappropriate times .. etc.

AND!!! Also, those people who, you know, put those two words, you know, in the sentence, when, you know, are talking, you know!!!!
 
This bugs me sooo much!
When people come over and think it is alright to give my dogs table scraps. :mmph: They are becoming moochers because of it.
