Don’t You Hate it When…….?

Why Microsoft Owning Flickr is No Worse Than T...

OK, it’s time I get it off my chest. I’ve had it with people that think they can pay you a compliment and at the same time think they can get away with feeding you a lot of bullshit. For example:

  • I hate it when people leave you a comment telling you they loved your post so much that they Stumbled it. Man, I worked hard on that post and I figured it was about time somebody appreciated it, only to find after checking that they didn’t stumble it at all!
  • I hate it when someone comments on one of my posts that was plugging an affiliate and how it convinced them to actually join, and upon checking I find that I haven’t sucked anyone into that affiliate for the past 10 months.
  • I hate it when someone comments and the comment had nothing at all to do with the post.
  • I hate it when someone has a go at me and hasn’t the guts to leave a link or proper email
  • I hate it when I get two to three word comments.

Oh, I feel so much better now that I have gotten that off my chest. What are some of the things that you hate?

    I hate when people abuse my time and don’t try to understand what I’m saying to them.

    I hate when people call you about projects then never call you back.

    I hate that we’re projected to get 6-8 inches of snow by midnight. lol

    Wow, you’re going to get snow, and we can’t even get a drop of water. Can I come and visit?

    Yep, I agree with the not calling back, that is so rude and unbusiness like.

    1. Mitch

      You can come visit any time you want, Sire; just try to be prepared for how cold it will be.

      Meanwhile, I have something else I hate today; my computer! It keeps rebooting, so it’s thrown off my writing and other work today, as I’ve been working on it for 10 hours now (I’m writing this from the laptop).

        You kidding I reckon I would love the snow. I usually go to work when it’s 3C so I reckon if I wear trousers when it snows I should have the base covered. Anyway, I’m sure you would invite an old friend in for a cup of coffee or something.

        As for the laptop, I was thinking that next time I went for an upgrade I would opt for the laptop. Are you inferring that it migfht be a bad idea?

          I’m not inferring anything except I hate my computer right now; urrgh. And you’re talking 3C; ever dealt with -26C?

            Nope, that’s why I will wear the trousers, and maybe some long johns, mittens and I’ll grow my beard again. Do you reckon that will cover it?

    I hate it when people post things like this that make me scarred to comment on their blog :lol_tb:

    And like Mitch, I hate when people don’t have the courtesy of returning phone calls. However, I conversely hate people who continually call you when you’ve asked them not to (like car dealers – when I said I wasn’t interested I was serious, stop calling me!

    Well Jeremy, sounds like a new post for your Bitchin Blog, or have already covered that?

  5. Jeremy

    Nah, I’ll save it for the Jeremy gives Sire a hard time blog…

  6. BS Artist

    Now that could be interesting. I will wait with baited breath, as long as I don’t suffocate from the wait.

  7. Dennis Edell

    Don’t even get me started! Aside from the 2-3 word comment crap, i’ve dealt with all kinds of lies like you mentioned.

    Mitch – if there was a side crack in there about emails too, I’ve been swamped. 😉

      Naw Dennis, that one wasn’t for you. I’ve had two contacts in the past week for big time consulting assignments, and neither one has followed through on it. I hate that; they reach out to you first, then nothing.

      Course, if you’re feeling guilty,… lol

    The only bugs I hate are those big hairy spiders.

    Random comment:

    2 days ago, a female friend of mine ran across a 2″ diameter “spider”, jumped on top of a chair, started screaming, only to have another friend pick up a spider ring left over from Halloween…I wish I had it on video, and realize you probably had to be there to fully appreciate the humor of the situation but nonetheless I felt compelled to share…

    Jeremy, that is nothing. I was driving my car with my then young family when I noticed this huge spider on the windscreen, so I hit the window wipers to knock it off. :gulp_ee: Damn me if it wasn’t on the inside. I stopped the car in the middle of the road, got out and told the wife to get rid of it. Not bad huh, some protector of the family I turned out to be. :doh_tb:
