Ok so I work for a small business (an Air Conditioning Company) and after the business is closed I take care of the after hours phone calls, via a phone given to me by the business.
And I do this on my own time, for very little extra pay for doing so.
Now what the hell is up with people calling at 3am? 2am? midnight? 5am?
Seriously people, I DO SLEEP!
And they wonder why I sound grumpy as all hell when I answer the phone at 3am.
Here is the kicker!!!
They call and DON'T EVEN WANT EMERGENCY SERVICES!
What the fuck, seriously. Why not wait and call during BUSINESS HOURS?!
Was it THAT important that you call me at 3am to tell me to give them a message to call you back?
I could see if I was say at the office working the overnight shift and it was my job to stay up all night to take in crazy phone calls.
But it's not.
I do this service for my boyfriends family who want to offer after hours emergency service to its customers.
Here is another thing that bothers me, I answer the phone with the company name + AFTERHOURS. And I get asked at midnight "Oh, the store isnt open?"
Seriously people!? What A/C company has their doors open 24/7? Please enlighten me on that one!

Ex-Hubby's & Ex-Boyfriends + New Girlfriends
So, my Ex-Hubby and I have been apart for like 4 years (or something) and we were married 10 years and it was one of those things that we never should have gotten married because we were better friends.
So we are really good friends still now, and dare I say best friends.
Ok so here is my peave.. The girlfriends my Ex seems to find can't STAND that we are still friends.
Now yeah I know some of you are like "well DUH? you were close to him and they feel you are a threat". No no, here are the specifics.. Not only do I not want him back, but I dont call frequently. And we live in different STATES now.
How the hell is that threatening to them? Really?
I could see if I lived close still.. and I called all the time acting like I was clingy. But nope neither of those things happen.
We barely talk at all, mainly just to keep in touch and see how each other is doing. You know, getting the scoop on our life and changes etc and wishing each other well wishes until the next time we talk.
I just don't get crazy people. Ok well maybe I should as I am a little crazy myself but whatever.
Bitches need to realize what a good thing they have before they scare him away..
An after though I believe his *current* one is alot better then one of the lasy crazy bitches he was with.. so here is hoping! *crosses fingers*

Company and Texting
So I have a daughter and she is 17 (18 VERY soon yikes!) and well as any teenager she is attached to her phone like there is no tomorrow.
So she is texting constantly. On the phone alot too, but mainly texting.
Ok so she has a friend come over to visit, and while the friend is here she is still constantly texting other friends.
So here is my annoyance.. why do people do this?
This is JUST as rude as talking on the phone the whole time while you have company.
Your time is divided and you may as well not even have that person over to begin with. Right?
Sure a text every now and then I would think is ok.. but its constant!
Why are kids now a days so damn rude?

Car Radios
So I had a friend take me to get me something to eat the other day and we started talking as she drove off, and then while we were talking she turned the radio on and had it sorta loud.
Now, let me preface the rest of what I am going to say with I know for a fact she did not do it to be rude. She is not that sort of person.
However, I wonder why people do this.. while talking to others. I certainly don't do it because I can't hear the other person over the radio most of the time and when talking to someone I like to give my full attention to them.
My boyfriend sort of does the same thing, though he will tolerate it when I turn it off to talk to him. with him though I was just assuming that it was a guy thing and they tend not to care about chatting in the car.
I just personally find it rude, I don't know maybe that's just me and I am truly crazy!
