Wow, these are fascinating and OMG what crappy things some of you have to put up with! But I'm also so impressed how upbeat and take-it-in-stride you all are. As a major whiner, I'd be dying on some of these!

And Gina, I have to say, that is SCARY. Common sense says a pilot cannot instantaneously transport himself or herself from a fully loaded plane to a comfy bed. That takes a huge chunk out of that 8 hours. Yikes!

So yeah, I know I'm two days late and no one is reading this, but I do so appreciate all the great comments!

as a cashier, LOTS of things tick me off: parents who refuse to control children. Parents who try to refuse to pay for things their children break/ put in their mouth/ vomit/urinate on, etc,:people who won't hand you the money but lay it down like you have a contagious disease. people who DO have contagious diseases. whiny children. screaming children. people who try to switch sale tags. i could go on literally FOREVER. it is why i am a misanthrope.

Should I say, People? Nah :)

When I worked in an office the thing I most hated was the continual birthday cakes. Sorry to be grouch!
You'd sing happy birthday for someone you didnt know half the time and then pressured to eat cake you know you shouldn't eat. In an office of about 100 employees it felt like it happened all the time. After a while the novelty wore off and I just wanted to hide under my desk when someone called out 'its a birthday!'

Now I work from home part time and am a full time Mum. I love it!

What I hated about my last job: the rattlesnakes, and getting my foot stuck in one of those holes that ground wasps build their huge nests in.

AH...my job. Mostly it's my being a worker for 5 people...saying it's tricky keeping all my eggs in a basket is an understatement. Sometimes I can't even find the basket :P

2009-07-13T17:30:38.311-04:00

4 years ago I was a SAHM and my husband was away for 3 months. My kids, who have Autism, were 3 and 1 at the time. I had no family nearby and no help, so it was me and the kids, 24/7. And i nearly went INSANE!!!!! There was the time my son vomited up chocolate all over the beige carpet, or when he woke me up by placing a box of popsicles on my bare arm, or my daughter's endless screaming at night for weeks on end...
Now I work outside the home part time, and I love my job. But there is some paperwork that gets me a little annoyed!

I get annoyed when people push on the door when it's clearly a pull door and even has a sign saying "pull".

...I think that's a sign that I've got a pretty good job. Hehe.

At my previous job my boss drove me nuts but I loved that I was up and moving for a good part of my day. I went up and down stairs multiple times and walked all over our large building.

At my current job all my coworkers are fine, but I have to find excuses to get up from my desk. I can feel my butt expanding as I type.

2009-07-13T12:07:40.792-04:00

My husband is a commercial airline pilot. Our biggest complaint is the lack of sleep/rest they are allotted. (Crabby, this isn't going to make you feel any better about flying).

The FAA says pilots can be on duty for 16 hours and have 8 hours of rest. However, the 8 hours of rest BEGINS when the engine key turns off. They still have to: wait for passengers to de-plane, walk through the terminal, check-in/out and debrief, wait for the shuttle bus, ride the shuttle bus, check into the hotel, eat, "sleep," shower, iron shirt, check-out, wait for shuttle, ride it, check in at the airport. That's their "rest" time and totally legal.
Circadian rhythms are shot. Time-changes do a number on them. I don't know why the FAA couldn't give them a couple more hours.

It's difficult to prove that plane crashes are caused by lack of sleep. Those on the inside know that's the likely cause but label it as "pilot error."

BUT, we're lucky he even has a job. And he'll tell you his office has the best view.

Re: Gigi

That is pretty awful behaviour on your boss's part. Not worth putting up with in ANY situation.

That said, my biggest peeve in the workplace are companies who ship us "almost" expired products. "What do you mean you can't sell 50 cartons of rice milk in 2 days?!" (Rice milk should have a year of shelf life) It is so much time and effort to make companies be responsible, they count on us thinking it isn't worth the effort.

I am a friendly person, so when someone comes in to purchase tickets to one of our local theatre groups (we help out several of them), it really riles me up when a customer just STANDS there and won't say a freaking word. I mean, come on, people!!! Engage a little!

Ever since becoming a paid janitor (I've been an unpaid one for a long time), I've come to believe more than ever that class is being considerate of the people who have to clean up after you.

2009-07-13T11:35:23.739-04:00

The best job I had also had many challenges - mostly working with all men and a boss who always had to be the funny guy. The worst part: this boss introducing me to his big NY boss as the "office pump" (yet another variation of his endless blow job jokes). The best part: Telling the little boss in front of the big boss that he could call it whatever he wanted but I still referred to it as job security. I got the bigger laugh which absolutely killed the little boss. (Sidenote: I was canned several months later. Guess the joke was on me afterall! But it was SO worth it.)

P.S, Word verification "crabila"

2009-07-13T11:15:53.906-04:00

Although there are always difficult times, I love my job. It isn't that it's easy, but the rewards can be beyond measure. Of course, ask me when I'm up to my neck in blood and trauma after working all night and I may have a different opinion.

2009-07-13T10:51:15.678-04:00

I work in an office with 20 people in 3 different office areas. At least once a week I get a call from someone outside of the office saying they see our phone # on their caller ID & need to know who called them & why. A surprising number can't understand that if the person didn't leave a message for them, I have no way of figuring that out without polling the entire office (while they're on hold). And that if the caller needs to talk to them, they'll try again.

2009-07-13T10:42:25.448-04:00

Many things about my job irritate me, but right now what bugs me the most is my secretary's insistence that she run the air condition constantly until the temperature drops to the upper 60's.

Well, as I am currently unemployed, I have absolutely nothing to complain about regarding my job! ^_^

The worst thing about my last job was the hours. I worked the overnight shift, 7pm to 5am. Let me tell you, I'm really glad I get to see sunlight again!

2009-07-13T10:30:31.374-04:00

Thankfully, books can always be recycled -- if they're really awful, recycled physically.

I'd enjoy my job if my co-worker didn't feel it essential to make me feel under a deadline all the time. (No, I'm not talking about Crabby! Would that all co-workers were this nice.)

2009-07-13T10:29:08.324-04:00

I giggled at this as I think of my JOB as my daughter (the day job writing work for some reason doesnt seem like work at all).

and yes.

there are LOTS OF THINGS I DONT LOVE ABOUT MY JOB.

especially when my (fingerquote) boss (unFQ) screams at me.

I dont like that :)

2009-07-13T10:16:26.418-04:00

Stay at home here. The worst thing is straightening up a room only to have it messer within 5 minutes than before.
My other job is Music Therapist, part-time, and I love the job, just wish my boss was organized enough to keep me from doing mindless tasks. I get paid too much to stack, staple, and stuff.
