#331: Blackberry Buzzing

People at meetings that have their blackberries out and they buzz for every email vibrating on the table. Why do people need to get a buzz for every email? They are going to check it every 5 seconds anyway. It's distracting to me. Severity: 3

#330: Single Serving Laundromat Supplies

It annoys me to see people wasting money buying single-use supplies from the laundromat vending machine. To pay 75 cents for 2 sheets of Bounce is shameful. How hard is it to buy a 120 sheet pack like I do and take some to the laundromat when you do your clothes? Instead of paying 38 cents a sheet, I pay something like 3 cents and save on trash by not creating packaging waste like this fool did. Same goes for detergent purchases (which this guy also made). The laziness, lack of green, and extreme waste of money boils my blood a little. Severity: 3

#329: Fast Phone Number Giving

I dislike when people leave a voicemail and they leave their phone number in such a fast way as to make it nearly impossible to get the number. It's both rude and self-aggrandizing in that it's saying that the person thinks their time is so valuable that they can't spend the extra second to leave the phone number in a slower, intelligeble manner. Severity: 2

#328: Premature Elevator Leavers

I don't like when I'm in an elevator with someone else and they stop off at a floor before mine and before the door opens they make a move to leave and have to hold themselves back and are really close to the door. I'm a bit confused by why this annoys me, but I think it both makes me nervous for their agitation to leave before they are able to and insulting for them wanted to get out of the elevator (and away from me) so fast that they can't bear to wait another second. Severity: 1

#327: Ticket Number write down

When I call in to the help desk at work, they always say, "Now write down this ticket number" and it's stupid because seconds later, you get an email with the number. So I just pretend I'm excitedly writing the number to make the guy feel important, but I think it's stupid. Severity: 1

#326: Office Phone Number Display

You may recall annoyance #246 where I complained about my phone not displaying the number of the call coming in on the second line. Well, my new job's phone does this, but has a new annoyance. It doesn't display the code I've dialed in to access a conference call. So when I call the conf call 800 number and type in the code, when I get the hold music, I'm always unsure if I typed in the wrong digits by accident or if it's just the meeting host being late to start the call. Severity: 2

#325: Voice Mail Blather Before the Beep

When you call a phone and the voicemail precedes the beep with this long-winded message about how to leave a message, pressing numbers for more options, leaving call back numbers, etc. and you're anxious to just skip to the beep and leave the damn message already. Sometimes, you can hit the # button, but sometimes, that doesn't work and causes more mishaps like it did to me today. Severity: 2
