Executive summary in a report, a condensed version of the entire report right at the start, pointing out the findings and solutions and a conclusion.
I can understand on a huge report, but under 20 pages? Just read it if you want to find out the findings, solutions. Otherwise don't ask for it to be created if you prefer not to read it ![]() Last edited by Franco Cozzo; 09-05-2013 at 11:48 PM. |

I laugh when reading some of the hubby/wife paraphernalia stuff, yeah, it's just the beginning...
I have to convince my compadres that the following is true... The weatherman on TV says, "Rain tomorrow". Tomorrow comes and no rain? My (now) ex would say to me - "It hasn't rained!" I'd agree with her observation. The demand was... "What are you going to do about it?" That left me stumped. We had a retric bore, I guess I could press start, then again, my ex could press start just as well as I without conversation. But seriously, the Weather Folk made my life hell, which why I decided to get a new life.

Stupid twit p -plate drivers that think they own the road
Driving home in the DARK tonight, and had a red P follow me in his VR/VS commode. Got so close that I couldn't see his headlights in my side mirrors. Turns out it was someone from work because he was "bored" Was actually about to call the cops because I was getting worried. Now he has got all his friends to have a go at me 'cause I didn't appreciate the fact he could have killed me!

I hate it when you have someone in a great big hulking 4wd occupy the right lane who wont pass the car to their left.
You flash your lights, honk your horn and they still don't get the message.... then the little buzz box that was holding the 4wd up that you never saw due to monster 4wd shoots left and the 4wd gives you the finger amd hightails it.... ... I felt pretty bad about that one :/ Tl; dr version: being wrong about things sucks |

I hate it when a customer comes in, takes up 20mins of my time, has me checking prices, offering discounts and using my knowledge. Then they turn around and say, I am just looking for prices right now. In the mean time I have missed out on 2 paying customers (my new job has commissions). I am not a pushy guyand go out of my way to help a customer even to the point I have missed out on sales by explaining they don't need a new item because the one they already have will do the job, but to waste my time for 20mins, having known you were not going to buy and cost me actual sales. That annoys me.

I got the shock of my life in a Berlin travel agent when they explained to me they charge x euros an hr when helping with funding flights and quoting prices...

My god I could flood the thread tonight lol. All I will say is refer to previous post, but add customers using up 45mins-1hr and the whinging customer, 1hr of my time whinging about everything, then saying they will take something and then deciding at the last minute they want black not white (ipad ffs) so make me order one instead.

Because a. They spent an hr whinging to me, b. They said yes to white, made me go out to the warehouse to get it and then decided while I was out there, they will get black. Plus they were buying a case that covered the whole thing except the screen.

so you then whinge to us
![]() you got a sale didn't you - they could have just gone to another shop/shopping centre or just ordered online the problem isn't sales people who don't care or customers that aren't appreciative it is that there are both of those people in this world |

Nah mate I never got a sale out of it, they just ordered it in. Has nothing to do with me. And as for the comment about sales people who don't care. In the last few days I have given up a number of sales because a customer has explained something to me and it turns out they don't need to buy anything at all, also I am supposed to try and push antivirus etc on them when they buy laptops etc, yet I am giving up commission to let them know that avast is free and probably better. I just don't appreciate being ****ed around for an hour. And yep I whinge here, don't you hate that lol.

I hate it when you organize a dinner out well in advance with lots of invites, double and triple check definites of who is coming, they say the come on one day, next day they say they cant make it, the day after they say they can, i make a booking only to be told hours from the dinner, they can't make it for the most lamest reason ever. Usually its because they got a better offer elsewhere.
What happened to the days of letting your 'yes' mean YES? I dislike indecisive people who refuse to commit in case there is a better offer. This goes for any situation. Id rather be told no straight out than be left hanging or being accused later for being a snob and not inviting/including them. Sick of it.

I dont mind shared menus but dislike those who insist on equal share of the bill especially if you ordered far less than everyone else. Why the F should I pay more for a share I had nothing of?

I smiled reading through these posts and thought I'd just read and move on. But now I'd like to add some things. So here goes, some things I can't stand.
1. When 2 lanes merge on the freeway, the car in the lane that merges goes all the way to the very end and then forces his way into my lane. To make it worse, he does it without even blinking. At least blinking is like asking to get in......well to me. I use my blinker and I give a wave of thank you after I get into the lane if I'm merging. And I NEVER go to the very very end and force my way in. What a freeway bully. grr..... 2. Drivers who think that the speed limit sign which reads "speed limit 55" means that's the fastest you can go therefore you MUST drive way slower like 40 to make sure you don't get near 55. grr..... 3. I get to a parking lot and find a stall at the end of a row in the corner so that I'm far away from other cars. I do that on purpose to avoid parking next to cars, getting my car dinged or scratched because we all know it happens in parking lots. Mind you, there are lots and lots of empty stalls. I go into the mall and do my shopping, have my Starbucks, relax, come back out and there ya go!!! A car is parked right next to mine when there's at least 30+ other open stalls to pick from! And crooked too! Why? Is my car a magnet or something? grr..... 4. Calling the customer service number for a certain company only to get the automated directory assistance voice. Press 1 for this, 2 for that, 3 if it's for this, 4 for that, 5 and 6 and 7. So I pick 7. I get the response, "invalid entry please try again." I try again. #7. "Invalid entry please try again." I try again. Hit #7. I guess after 2 mistakes that's it. The next msg I heard was "thank you for calling, please try again later." grr..... |

I also hate the fact then when I visit another popular Ford Forum I get flamed for representing our aussie falcon with those members referring it only as a "taxi".
I hate that! |

geez i love these threads - the amount of hypocrisy that is shown makes me laugh
many things annoy me, but after a few deep breaths, i realise that many times i am just as guilty as the person annoying me, sometimes more so ![]() |

At the end of the night there was one couple who cracked the Sad's because they didn't drink and couldn't see why they had to pay the same as us even though they weren't drinking the demond drink and only had chicken whe I had steak (my wife had a burger and our boarder had chicken) (obviously didn't read the bill as there was only soft drinks on it and none of them were ours, so in effect we were paying for their soft drinks What ****** me off then is they carried on like pork chops over it It took a great night and turned it to **** We haven't seen these people since and that was 1998
