Well I was a telemarketer for 2 years of my life! I say I must be manipulative because people will talk to me on the phone whether they want to or not. I think its my upbeat personality and hyper go lucky personality. Then I would get to the sales pitch and of course would not lie and the people would have spent so much time listening to me that they either new it was a deal or not. However, if it was not a deal I would have let them know but I am one in a few. Sometimes, talking to a telemarketer is fun and worth while listening to because they actually may have a deal.

Pet Peeve, the little thing that gets under your skin, LOL. I have more than one, so here is another.
Because this just happened to me today, several times. People who purposely listen to your conversation and then have million questions afterwards. If you are going to be nosey and listen, listen to the whole darn thing so I don’t have to repeat myself. There is a lady who has been coming in for a few days now, she will pause what she is doing, listen to just about everything that I am telling someone else and then she starts with her ten to twenty questions. When I offer her more information, she is not interested at all. It is getting under my skin, baaaaaaad. I have offered her workshops and etc, she has turned absolutely everything down. I deal with people with issues everyday, it is very time consuming when someone who does not really want to do anything consumes your time, could be better spent on someone else who truly wants to move on and get their life together. When you work with the public though, your doors are open to all kinds.

I got you on this one, what type of work do you do? I work in an employment center, my main population is supposed to be veterans, but I work with any one who needs help. It is very frustrating when you feel like you are wasting your time and that there are others you could be helping if this person would find something and stick to it, or do their soul searching else where. We have a young lady who says she has been looking for work, well she comes to me today and says, I have to get a job with in two days or I am out of the program. Well, hello, what the heck you been doing for the last seven weeks? I have seen here around our building, not really looking for work, now all of a sudden it is a big emergency. Yeah, ok! Let me get right on it M’am.

I have a lot of pet peeves and its not that im a snob or think im better in any way but here are a few things that really erk me to no end.
someone burping in my face at least turn your head.
people who know it all especially when you talk about something and theve been there done that how can one person have been in every situation that the whole world has been in.
people who delibertly watch for you to make a mistake so they can correct you are they that bored.
people who dont feed thier kids or thier animals. if they dont want them dont have them.
people who thinks the world owes them a liveing. I was at the post office one day and the welfare checks were late the people were wineing and complaining they would have to make an extra trip. I suppose thats why they went to the cards so those people wouldnt have to wait like the working people.
these are just a few ill feedback some more later I get on a role with these kind of things.

I thought i wrote on this subject but apparently i missed it somewhere. I hate when people act like they didnt know they were short on money and have to put stuff back, then look back at you like unless you want to help. there are a lot of people who really could use some help but then theres those who use it to thier advantage.

also I cant stand people who have been everywhere and done everything. or try to tell you what to do all the time. heres an example, I have a good income and can take care of myself fine I dont need help on the other hand the rest of my family are not so sufficient they are always needing something but they all talk to me like i cant be on my own and I need them to tell me how to live. I think they should take care of thier lives and they would have plenty to worry about and let me live my life how I want to.

I hate seeing people working with food that have hair hanging all over them or cough without covering thier mouth.
I dont like people coughing with out covering thier mouth thats how all these viruses keep going if you cant stay home protect yourself and others by covering your mouth.
