I hate it when you're in traffic and there's always that one person directly in front of you with enough space between his car and the next one to land a plane. And I'm sure you know the rest, every car on the expressway (including tractors and mopeds) gets in front of this car effectively slowing you down.


Then there's the people who get on the elevator at floor 2 just to get off at floor 3, grrrrr take the stairs.


Moving on to conference calls why is there always that one person who feels the need to literally invent questions that have nothing to do with the subject matter which in turns drags out the call to another 2 hours.

people do all of these things for one reason: they cannot comprehend the fact that they are not the only person in the world...to get them to realise the error of their ways you must make yourself known...rear end the guy in front of you, fart when that person gets in the elevator, and tell the guy on the call to shut up and call the other people so you can get back to not working

Yes, it happens all the time to me. I've gotten to the point where if I feel the meeting doesn't involve me anymore, I just hang up. I've also just gotten up and left during extremely long staff meetings. There's no reason that a staff of 6 people should have a meeting that lasts 3 hours.

we used to have a guy that would drag out meetings...meetings usually took 1-2 hours...this guy would make them last for at least 3 with all the dumb questions he asked...one day one of the other managers got so mad that he actually beat the crap out of the guy after the meeting...no one stopped the fight of course

They'll be the one laughing when the guy in front of you next time slams on his brakes while you're 10 feet off his bumper. :)

Our call center director does that in meetings, this guy loves to hear himself talk, something that should only take 30 minutes tends to take
an hour or two.

I leave a good amount of space because many times people don't like to stop when they are behind some people at a stop light and decide to go through the person in front of them.

The stair wells in my building are locked.
