What Makes Me Scream!!!

There are many things that drive me crazy in this world..mostly things that other people do. Things that truly enrage me are when people don't use their blinkers... it drives me completely insane. I mean cut me off, do what you need to do, but please use your blinker!!!

Another one of my pet peeves is when I am at work (I work in a restaurant by the way) and you get that customer, whether they're yours or not, who feels the need to take out all of their life problems and frustrations out on you, because their food is cold, or taking too long, or their order is wrong. It's just not fair. Does it ever cross these people's minds that I am a person, that I too have problems, that I can have a bad day? No, I need to stand there smiling, apologizing (even when it's not my fault), to this awful, rude, inconsiderate person who feels the need to ruin my day as well.

Along the line of work, another thing that bothers me is people who don't know how to tip. It's 20 percent now people I mean understandably you'd leave less if the service is awful. But when everything goes fine, leave 20 percent, because we get paid like $3 an hour, and on average my paycheck is oh about $20.

Another thing (I guess you are starting to see where most of my frustration comes from) about work that frustrates me to no end is why do parents let their 13 year old kids come out to eat alone..with no money. You have these kids who come in, order as much food as their money will by and, oops what's a tip?

I think that the restaurant business would drive most people crazy. I got a job as waitress one summer...and quit after a day, so I am extremely impressed by your ability to deal with such a stressful job on a regular basis.
