Grrrrr!
Things that make you go Grrrr!
I have created this page on my blog for you to comment on and add to. We all have those Grrrr moments where something really gets your goat!
It was very sagely pointed out to me today that we have to take the rough with the smooth and that it is only in the balance we get to really appreciate the great stuff that doesn’t make us Grrr but Things that make you Whooop!
So now you have found a place you are free to vent and rant and rave about it and probably garner sympathy from others who feel just the same! Hoping this might smooth out those Grrrr bumps for some of you.
A few people have commented on this during a conversation on Twitter today.
I’ll start -
Cold Callers, they really make me go Grrrrr! Let me qualify that by saying BAD Cold Callers ones who are reading from a script and or tell blatant lies.
Others that have been raised today include -:
Cost of treatment at the dentist [I concur with this one!]
Regular sounding of comedy car horns.
People continuing to use their mobile phones while driving.
Drivers not using their indicators.
People who stop suddenly in the middle of the pavement.
Poor customer service irritates me every time. Good manners cost nothing. [We agree strongly with this one!]
People who say they can ‘fix’ things, e.g with you or your business before establishing whether anything needs ‘fixing’.
People who ignore you in the street when you say ‘Hello’.
BT Business Broadband … Unreliable, flakey, useless!
I’m glad you clarified cold callers to Bad cold callers. They’re not all horrible, rude lying, or reading from a script. Only some of them…..
having to be trained on software I already pay for as a service. It should be in the cost or the software should be usable out of the box.
Loads of things wind me up and make me go Grrrr!
One thing though from today is people not giving me space in the swimming pool, there is plenty of room, move over and stop kicking me when I go past or Im going to get angry and drown you!!!!!
Suppliers that think you can’t go anywhere else.
(answering services are omitted from this comment)
all of the above
@ann – that goes to fix anything
@martin – pool rage in your pool too eh?
Being charged twice for one meal at a restaurant! Why would I have agreed to pay for one meal twice, like my bank is currently telling me I did?! GRRR.
