Well, each day I hear so many talking about having pet peeves and so thought I’d write a post on some of the ones that I have been hearing and seeing out there and there is a lesson here – hope you see it and learn from this post.

People who don’t listen when you are talking to them. How many times have you said a few sentences to someone only to have them suddenly say “what did you just say? I wasn’t paying attention.”

When people ask me for advice and do the opposite of what I tell them. Why did they ask to start with??????

You know when you ask someone a simple, straightforward question and they spend ten solid minutes rambling on about everything in the world EXCEPT the answer to your simple, straightforward question? Sound familiar?

PeOpLe WhO tYpE LiKe ThIs. 😀

Being asked my telephone number/account number AFTER I already entered in using the keypad on my phone. I thought I was supposed enter that info to “better assist me”.   Why did I waste my time?????

When people put (sp?) after words when the spell check button is right there in front of them.

Companies that outsource their customer service to India, but then those support reps don’t have full access to all the needed info, so eventually they transfer you back to a manager in the US to deal with it.

Adware, spyware, popups, viruses and other things that download themselves and install automatically and I really believe I have ghost sometimes that enjoy watching this happen

People that interrupt you when your telling a story and then they continue to tell you their story and then ask you in an uninterested tone to continue on with your story when they are finished talking.

When it’s 2am and you’re surfing the nets in silence only to be scared shitless by the sudden sound of “CONGRATULATIONS! YOU’VE BEEN SELECTED TO WIN A FREE…” whatever the consumer electronic device of the moment is.

Animated ads, ads that take up the entire screen, and ads that play audio or music automatically.

Any kind of advertisement that has a video with sound that pops in the middle of the page with the impossible to find “x” to close it.

People who chat online (instant messaging) while I’m on the phone or Skype  with them.  I don’t know about you but I can’t talk and type at the same time lol

“congratulations” “congratulations” “you” “you” “just” “just” “won” “won” “a” “a” “free” “free” “ipod” “ipod” “nano” “nano”

People who tell you “Oh! You have to try this! It’s the best thing ever!”

Trying to get assistance over the telephone, only to be directed to “press this number”, umpteen times.

Last but now Least People who don’t want to learn anything new because they know it all.

Now I did this post for a reason – I was answering some questions in Yahoo answers and read a few of these and so then did some looking and found more pet peeves on the internet.  Now the lesson behind this when you don’t think that the little things matter or you are working online – I thought it was interesting to read what really annoys others – you may find it funny or cute – but do others.

So when working online, keep your comments, your articles, your post, your ad copies business like – these pet peeves could be potential people that you would want to sell to – this shows you that presentation in everything that you do is so important – and yes even online.
