The Top Three things you want to smack someone for saying

Re: The Top Three things you want to smack someone for saying

My top 2 are:

1) Anything my husband says. Seriously...anything...I just want to smack him.

2) When someone finds out about my illness and says "Oh you look fine!" One day someone is going to say that when I have a knife or scissors in my hand and I can NOT be held responsible for what happens next.

First thing I thought of when I read that.

Surprisingly to me, I couldn't think of anything when I saw this thread. I mean, I know there has to be at least one specific Red Mage-related one, but I'm drawing a blank.

"How do I make the screen bigger?"

Most common call I get ever since we rolled out LCD monitors. What they want is for me to lower the resolution - usually down to 800 x 600 - and they won't remember how to do it the next time the monitor auto-adjusts it back up to 1280 x 1024.

"Try it, it tastes good."

You've been cooking this stuff since before I was born and I have been eating it since I was able to chew and it still makes me gag every time. Stop telling me to "try it", ARGH!

"I need the page numbers to start on the second page and be roman numerals, but on the pages after that be regular numbers, and the footers... etc. And it needs to be submitted in 20 minutes."

Any time the Word Processing lady is out or busy I get stuck with something like this either just before lunch or just before quitting time. They are always shocked to discover that I don't know the formatting standards required for legal documents and that it takes time to repair the kind of crazy formatting artifacts where left behind by their hurried editing. One user managed to simulate a black hole in Microsoft Word. Several pages had collapsed into a singularity the size of a single character, and it could pull in adjacent paragraphs if I removed the line breaks between them. I still have no idea how that happened.

Runners Up:

"May I speak to the person in charge of your I.T. purchasing decisions?"

"I clicked this message that said my computer was infected with..."

"I'm at home and my internet connection just went down..."

"All my files have been deleted!"

Yeah... Help Desk work is not so fun.

Re: The Top Three things you want to smack someone for saying

My three ingame ones are...

Haste please!

I am doing a haste cycle, and the person's haste wears off as I am doing the cycle. Haste has a high recast, and they need to wait for me to haste them. And I need to cure peopel as I am hasteing/refreshing as well if I am the main healer. Yet, they still pester me for a haste, even after I have explained that it has a high recast, and curing takes top priority over all other spells (Besides sleep), and I will haste them when I can. It also annoys me when the person asking for haste is a whm who can HASTE THEM SELVES! I leave whms out of the haste cycle as it spares me Mp, and they can self haste when I give them refresh. Most whms don't mind it, but there are a few who will pester me about hasting them, or the ones who don't bother to even get the haste spell even when they are lvl 60.

Refresh please!

Same as haste. I refresh me, then the pld, then the whm (If they are there). The Drks, and blus who spam spells, are the ones that annoy me the most. The drks I will refresh them when their Mp drops down below 45% just to keep their Mp at a decent amount, but every so often you run into those who don't know mp management, and then I run out of Mp, and they yell at me for not refreshing them, and then I get yelled at for running out of Mp by the Drk, and blus that are pestering me for refresh, and when I am the only mage in the party!

I don't use food, its a waste of money.

That is really annoying as well. I use food every time I am in a party and a melee character (Except on Colibri, thats diferent). Having a full party that uses food, increases killing speed by a lot. I have had people who don't use food in my parties, and kills are really slow, then an hour later they leave. I replace them with some one that uses food, and then the kills speed up, and the mages are like "Wow! This party is MUCH better than when he had the other DDs!". It isn't a waste of money to use food. It lasts a bit, and it won't take that long to get back the little amount of gil you spend. The faster you gain exp, the faster you can actually go out and farm the money back that you spent on food.

In real life... My three are...

Lift with your legs!

I know how to lift stuff. I have been doing it all my life, and I learned the hard way that I should lift with my legs (I have back issues now bc of it). Even with I lift something thats 5 pounds I am being yelled at to lift with my legs. Its just 5 pounds though! That won't do anything! Then, when I life something thats like 40+, then I lift with my legs, and I get yelled at that I am not using my legs correctly to lift the item! Theres only 1 way to lift with your legs!

"Oh, honney bun."

... I hate when I hear that being said. Its just stupid, and annoying when people say it. Yes, you can express your love, but don't use lame and cheesy shit like that.

I don't really have a third one...

when the person asking for haste is a whm who can HASTE THEM SELVES!

Wow you need to cut these fucking people. If you don't want to, I'll do it.

Re: The Top Three things you want to smack someone for saying

Oh! I just got my third one!

Its not really a phrase, but more of what some one does though...

People who mumble as they are normaly talking.

I will be sitting there trying to talk to some one, and all they do is mumble, even though they are talking normally. Its like... "What, what did you say?" And they get pissed at you for not being able to understand them, yet they mumble every word. I don't mean to sound racist, and if I do offend anyone, I am sorry for what I am about to post. The only people who have done this though, are black people, and they are the ones with the golden teeth and shit like that. Its like, take that shit out of your mouth so that people can understand you, and can actually have a real conversation with you!

Ummm... I'm not really getting at what you are saying there. I am seeing two different sides at this statement... :/

Re: The Top Three things you want to smack someone for saying

Huh? You were just confused about me saying you should cut them? I basically mean these people need to be cut. With pointy things. And if you're not willing to cut them, well, I'll do it, because they deserve it.

"May I speak to the person in charge of your I.T. purchasing decisions?"

I get these calls in the business office...I'm glad we don't do business with vendors not in our system.

"I clicked this message that said my computer was infected with..."

LOL, that's a big uh-oh/oh-no.

If anybody calls and says "I messed <this> up, can you fix it?" my response is always "Uh-oh, what'd you break now?"

one of my co-workers has like 3 different accents that can kick in at any time, but the most prevalent is the Brooklyn accent. She always says Chi-car-go instead of Chicago. Not really annoying, but I always tease her when she says it.
