What drives you crazy about your job?

Question

Whatever job you may have (even SAHMs) what is one or more things that drive you crazy? 
I used to work at an elementary school and the biggest thing that made me nuts were those select parents that thought their children could do no wrong. Like yes, Sally did hit another child. No, I'm not lying, she did 😂 Your kids aren't angels I promise!

Answer

Retail worker here. Almost everything customers do annoys me, but the greatest hits:

-coming in five minutes before we close and saying "oh, I'm just browsing"
-screaming at me about our refund policy ("I can only give you store credit if you don't have your receipt, ma'am")
-screaming at me about not having something in your size (I don't control the inventory here, I'm just paid minimum wage to hear your bellyaching)
-allowing their children to run all over the store and completely mess up everything
-expecting me to break a $100 bill on a $10 or less purchase
-complaining about prices (again, don't control that, just paid minimum wage to hear the bellyaching)
-getting offended when I ask for their phone number for our rewards program. If you don't like giving out your number, fine, but just say "no thank you" like a normal person. No need to be rude when I'm literally just doing my job by trying to get coupons sent to you.
-and just generally acting like I'm beneath them. I'm human too, and I may be egotistical for saying this but I think my IQ is higher than most customers' 😂

Answer

What drives me crazy about my job is that it's been tough seeing my students with their parents and wanting the same so badly. I've been teaching for 14 years. 11 in public school. Mainly all kindergarten and first grade. Its so amazing to me to see the physical and personality qualities that the kids get from their parents. What also drives me crazy is how stinkin' cute they all are! 😀 I just got home from our annual Open House. I love it!! I so love my kids and their families 💜

Answer

I work at a movie theater. One of my biggest pet peeves is when the customers go to select their seats, they try to pick the priority seating for people with disabilities, and then yell at me when I tell them they are able bodied and can sit there.

Another is when they get mad at me for a show being sold out, or when they can't handle the fact that it's assigned seating.

Answer

I'm a supervisor. We don't have that many people up front since we have a pharmacy in the back. We have 2 people,3 at the most  every day. The pharmacy has about 4 to 6 and only 4 registers. When they get backed up, they except one of the front people to come pick up their slack like we don't have our own shit to do! 
That and my manager called me the other day and tried guilt tripping me into coming in because one girl had a lame excuse and the manager had therapy that day. Sorry. Not my responsibility

Answer

I'm a medical assistant for a busy family practice of 30 physicians and 3 locations - I work as a phone triage nurse and handle the incoming sick calls, refill requests, appt questions, referrals needed - the most frustrating thing is the patients that don't understand that I am not able to make decisions without the doctors consent. They get frustrated and angry when they're told that we have to discuss with the doctor first thinking that we just don't want to do it - it's not the case at all. People get seriously hostile when it comes to their Viagra, hydrocodone, etc lol
