What annoys you about your job?
 

I just thought that I'd see if there are others who sometimes get quite p***ed off with aspects of their jobs?

For me it's those people who turn up for an eye exam without any previous glasses, and then expect me to tell them if they need new ones?! Oh and those who come in with a list of complaints as long as your arm and when I tell them the solution they just choose to ignore any advice.

Time wasting....grumble grumble... :mad:

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

Too many business consultants trying to tell me how my job should be done! (when they clearly do not know what they are talking about!)

We are currently suffering from an initiative overload; we just start on one and they come up with another, all the while I am still trying to do the day job!!

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

People who phone up and demand we play their requests, and the ones who say they'll chat about something on air with us then bottle up as soon as we go live

My Boss,;)

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

I think the worst thing about a job I've ever had is being teamed up with someone, whose very existence got on my nerves. Luckily I don't have that problem at the moment. :)

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

I hate it when people come through to me on the phone and say "Yeah, What it is right" or can't actually start a conversation and umm and arr for what feels like 10 minutes "Yeah Right Well Hmmm Yeah Err" :rolleyes:

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

Hang on, don't you work for yourself :erm: :D

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

Those irritating people who demand I do work to get money.

What are they called...?

Oh, yeah, *customers*...!

;)

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

OOPS, well spotted Debs, still a right slave driver, last years two separate one week holidays, the first for over seven years.:(

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

Yeah, I've got a boss like that too :spin:

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

Sounds like a right fun bloke to work for :rolleyes:

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

Errr, just inform me where you work Trent so err, I can come and eat there soon :erm:

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

When I had an employer: Staff meetings about keeping customers happy. They took up too much of the time when we could have actually been calling on customers doing just that.

When self-employed: Customers phoning up and saying '"It's gone wrong again" in the hope I'd feel guilty and keep the price down. Looking at records showed it was a totally different fault to the last one and it was around 9 months or a year ago.

Now: Carer for my wife. Need I say more! (a labour of love really).

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

The p1$$ poor managment, the useless company procedures & the bosses failure to differentiate between the current price & the overall cost...

I.e. the current price of not getting me more RAM for my PC may be £30 but it will cost 1/2 hour a day in the time it takes my PC to do its job. (just an example).

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

I had a call to an old Hotpoint Top loader early last week and she insisted on mentioning the last repair I did on the machine, "it was definately you, you wrote the details of what you did on the back of the outer drum"...I took the back of and sure enough in my own inimitable scrawl was... 16/09/1984 :Yikes:

Guess I didn't do a very good job the first time.:)

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

Know that feeling. I chose the arbitrary figures of 9 months to a year but it was often quite a bit longer and people would still use the 'gone wrong again' term. I used to wonder why it was that customers could seem to accept that many things can stop a car from working and that they'd have to pay up for every fault. Yet they would not expect to pay again if electrial/electronic equipment went wrong sometime after an initial repair, even if it was a totally different component that had caused the second fault.

There are an awful lot of compnents in electronic or electro/mechanical items that can cause the same effect, namely that the thing stops working. It was often difficult and sometimes impossible to get a fair rate of pay for fixing a second fault. Many couldn't seem to accept that the second fault was nothing at all to do with the first one and so they'd expect a free, or at least a less expensive, repair.

what annoys me about my job?
is it fair to say everything!. :dozey:

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

-Patients (and doctors) assuming that I have the same level of training as a masseur when I know more about the diagnosis and effective treatment of neuromusculoskeletal problems than their doctor (and often their consultant). :dozey:
-Patients forgetting their appointments :mad:

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

i mostly hate the fact that the management really dont give a toss at all, they dont care about their customers or anything they just want money, prime example - OUR admin team cancelled a customers line and account by mistake, the cust rang tech support and we had to explain that we had cancelled the account but the only way she could get back on line was to ring registration and re-register go back in to a 12 month contract n everything - it really wasnt on!!!!!

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

Hey, if you think your job is bad then try this! I spotted them on Sunday. They haul themselves along the power lines in those little carts and knock out the spacers between them ready for when the cables are replaced. After the carts are lowered they have to climb across the insulators and down the pylon to the ground. The guy on the top was practically doing handstands and they seemed to have very little safety gear.
:Yikes:

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

Patients who have unrealistically high expectations of the treatment for their ailments. Or timewasters who appear to have nothing better to do.

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

The fact that they get really miffed when I abuse the internet all day :erm:

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

Eh ?

:wtf: is that ?

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

back pain/neck pain/'trapped nerves'/sciatica/sprains/strains etc......
I never get timewasters....private medicine prices discourage them. Haven't had a malingerer in my clincs in the 10 years I've been practicing.

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

So I can tell my boss he is a neuromusculoskeletal problem*

*pain in the neck

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

On that basis, my boss is a hemorroid....

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

:LOL: You have been in your job ten years and you are still practicing ?

I'll get me coat

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

I think that would be best .... ;)

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

If anyone knows why it's called practicing I'd be interested to hear about it :)

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

Always wondered that myself!

Could be because Medicine isn't certain.. Your never absoulutly sure of a cure, and your constantly practising in order to find a cure for everything? :confused: :dozey:

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

Indeed, accountants, lawyers, most of the professions practice - not just a medical thing.

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

I think you are on the right lines Steve, maybe this might help a bit.

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

Thats the only reason I can think of.....

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

Try working in A&E for a week......

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

That's my understanding. Medicine is not an exact science....

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

Well. I support students in 2 computer labs. One thing that irritates me is getting asked the same question (word for word almost) nearly 70 times because the f**k**g lecturer did not explain something properly in their lecture*. This has happened throughout most of the last two weeks.

*If one or two students ask me the same question, I assume they have not understood what has been taught to them. If nearly the whole class ask me the same question, I assume it has not been properly explained.

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

Maybe they'll get it right one day.. :D

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

I have that as well. I really hate it when a student comes to see me, asks me a question. Then, when I answer they tell me I am wrong, when I know I am right.

I usually feel like saying "if you know enough to tell me I am wrong, why are you asking?"

Re: What annoys you about your job?
 

No thanks m8 :pp :D
