Pet Peeves - What Pisses You Off?

I was wondering where this money came from to front the golf game. Then I remembered why my ass hurts.
 
When one of my sales guys has to send a specification sheet to a customer from a website: He goes to the website, PRINTS the spec sheet. walks over to the printer, SCANS it back into the printer, then goes and emails it as an attachment. :banghead:
Repeat several times per day even after being shown repeatedly how to email directly from his desktop....

The computers we have at work, have the best pharmacy software I've ever used. There is a queue called, "Contact Manager," in which we can put prescriptions that have some sort of problem with, like needing to clarify directions, etc. The 25 to 35 year olds don't use it, and leave damned paper notes all over the place. I hear, "Have you called on this (scrap of paper)?" I tell them, "No, but I cleared out contact manager."

How bout this one: People that still use an atlas. Holy hell, I didn't even realize they still printed those damn things! I was at a customers last week and talking about going somewhere so he pulls an atlas out of his drawer. I was like, what is that from 1982?? :cheesy:
By the time he found the state the place was in I had it up on google maps on my phone and told him the mileage and time it takes to get there. He was like, "how did you do that?" :shock: Yes, there are people out there that still use flip phones folks!

They still come in handy. Unless i'm in a city, my cell phone will lose all signal, the old road atlas behind my seat has gotten me back to civilization before. What i really need are topographic maps to navigate the multitude of back roads in the desert.
 
Using an atlas is a skill everyone should be taught. I use my phone and Google Maps 99% of the time, but in those situations where the phone fails me (no signal) the atlas never does. Its only limitations are the user.
People no longer know how to navigate when traveling. They just stare at a little screen and blindly follow.

I agree deff still a skill people should know. Hell I remember driving to hockey games with my mom as a kid and using road maps to give her directions!

Yea, we call it death by GPS. Perfect example, while pre-running Goler Wash for PVD one of our club members ran into a couple from Africa in a rented IIRC Ultima looking to get to Las Vegas! The were almost to Mengal pass and he wondered how in the hell he got that far!

You CANNOT blindly follow the damned GPS, you have to use your brain at some point in time.
