I have an FB one too.

The posts that "Person X just checked in at Business ABC."

Hmmm, you are obviously hours from home. And making that info public online. Makes me have visions of burglars/home invaders etc.

Really? I *never* post that I am going to be out of town if that is the plan. And I have someone at my place when I am gone but I still refuse to publize my immediate location.

True dat. And I think there were a few burglary rings a couple of years ago that used facebook to target their victims.

Ok here's a strange one that I think only bothers me. If its raining out but very lightly, do you think you really need your wipers on full blast? I find it distracting. I'm really not sure why it irks me???

People who miss or are late cor appointments!

theoddz · 03-01-2012, 04:00 PM

People who just, flat out, cannot seem to ever get to work on time.

We have that happen all the time where I work, particularly from the (get this) ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY!!!!

Obviously, it's a far different military, these days, from the one I joined 33 years ago.

You might be surprised at how many people get ticked at people who are early, particularly if they themselves are chronically late. I am chronically early, often arriving a half hour to 45 minutes early for appointments. I know i'm an early person, nearly always, so I always bring something to work on while I wait. I have gotten the "look" and comments from people with whom I have an appointment, because i'm early,lol. I'm like look, I don't care if I have to wait, at least i'm here and I can keep myself busy while you do your thing.

ETA: I'm also chronically early for work and I get the stink eye from coworkers for that.

I hate when people are always early. If I request that you are at my place at 2:00, please do not arrive before 1:55. I get a lot of cleaning/primping done in those last 30 mins.

~note~
exception made for out-of-towners or relationship partners who love me despite my not being ready when you arrive early

Ya, I can understand how that goes, but I suppose you also have to consider the work venue. I work 12 hour shifts in a hospital and all off-going shifts must give a shift report before they can leave.

When workers are chronically late coming in to work, it keeps other people from leaving on time. Getting out of there late makes it difficult for folks like me who are on a tight schedule and, because of health issues, must get enough sleep between shifts in order to physically function. In my line of work, being chronically tired can have a direct effect on one's capacity to make what are sometimes life and death decisions. We work with other people's lives in our hands.

So yeah, I do get really aggravated when some folks are chronically late for work. I don't care if they stink-eye me for being early. It also hasn't escaped my observation that these same individuals who are always late just looooove to get out of work a bit early, too. Well, one hand washes the other. If someone wants to come in early to relieve me, then I'll happily return the favor and come in early to relieve them. Ya gotta GIVE to GET. Don't expect to leave early when you're always arriving late.

When I had a caseload of clients I used to see, I didn't care how early they came for their appointment-as long as they didn't expect to be seen sooner than they were scheduled as I had an appointment scheduled every hour (county mental health). If someone did cancel- that was different.

Now, personal plans with friends or a date? Different story! Don't be knocking on my door 1- hour, 1.75 hours early! I am probably in the shower or dressing and you would get the stink eye for arriving that early or I might not even answer the door!

Am I on time? Yes I am. I aim for being dressed and ready to go at least 15 minutes before I need to be.
