Other managers that try to bully staff into doing more work after hours instead of talking to me to see what compromise we can reach on staffing
 
People who say [scanner, telephone, kettle, whatever] is not working.

Then you have to work out just what exactly they are talking about. Or fish for more information, wasting more of your time.

Meh.

The best is;

User - ''Ther printer isn't working''
Me - ''Okay, what is it doing or not doing'' (These are multi-function devices that can scan, copy, print, fax, scan to USB and print from USB)
User - ''I don't know but it isn't working, so can you just come and fix it.''

Thanks for narrowing it down.

What don't you understand, its not working! sounds like my mom who tells me everyday that her phone is not working aka she doesn't know what she is doing.

Gotta love users like that...

The worst I've had is a manager who claimed that something had caught fire in the boardroom - it all was a ruse to get me to respond quicker. :mad:

Pissed me off totally.
 
No smartshopper discounts this week. All I get is "earn 2x points". Where's my discount on booze, dammit? :mad:

Heh heh heh. Just got my smartshopper discount on beer and whiskies today. You close to Pinetown? I can make a plan and ask my driver to drop off a case of beer and a bottle of bells or JW Red if you are.
 
Go to a union or something. It's not fair. What is their excuse?

Well, look, officially our pay date is the 3rd to last day of the month, which in this case is only on Monday. But during the last 3 paydays were the 24th, 23rd and the 18th respectively, so it was never really set in stone, and the expectation has very much been created.

Anyway, someone asked him when we will be getting paid, and he says he "forgot".

Really makes you feel like you matter to the company.
