Pet Peeves - What Pisses You Off?

When News people talk about what cool thing they are seeing but don’t show anything but their ugly ass faces… or they quickly pan over it then show their ugly ass faces 90% of the time…
 
Pharmacies in general. We use CVS, have heard the same complaints about Walgreens and Rite Aid.

They take over control of your prescriptions. They decide when it's time to request a refill, without consulting you. They assume they are your only pharmacy provider, they call your Dr. to request a 90 day prescription for something you used them for a 30 day while your mail order company fulfills the 90 day.

It causes screw ups and delays on mail order meds because these fucktards think they run your world.


*PHEW* All better now, called Dr's office and told them to NOT refill any prescription with CVS until talking to me. 30 minutes I won't get back.

Walgreens is even worse. I got something like 16 spam alert messages in 20 minutes regarding an "as needed" nasal spray while I was hiking in the woods. They treated it like it was critical life support.

Some of that stuff via doctor or pharmacy is in auto-renew from the get go. That's why it happens.
 
Ford dealership parts departments. Every damned one of them around me.

are they trained to say “I don’t know” when asked about any specific quantity of anything?
How many gallons anti freeze do I need to buy? …I don’t know
How many quarts transmission fluid does it hold? …I don’t know
Can you look it for me? …No
Is there someone else that can help me? …No

MFer made me look it up on my phone while he stood there. What an asshat.
And then when I get home, I realize there is no o-ring in with the new external transmission filter. I’m sure the son of a bitch knew that too.

I had two prior businesses and used Google ads and maps. I recall it taking a few weeks initially and getting frustrated. It's a pain in the ass and quite a learning curve. If your website has good keywords, eventually the robots will find it. Once you end up on the first page of Google, you may find you don't even need the ads. Whoever hosts your site may have some tools to help you with exposure also. I have a family member that did it for awhile for their business and eventually hired a marketing company to deal with all of it. It's an extra expense, but these people know how web traffic works and do well at it and it's a big time saver. Another option if you haven't already, a lot of areas have a local Facebook page for community stuff like lost pets, favorite restaurants, etc and many allow local businesses to post for free to help get their name out.

Thank you for the tips! Fortunately Im getting over the hump on the learning curve, just frustrated for the waiting period after all of the hours I put into the web presence and not seeing progress. Maybe once I get more clients I can hire it out, it’s just not in the budget at the moment. Luckily I have a client that shares my contact information on the community chat so I don’t need to make a Facebook (I hate Facebook)

IMO unless you have a large budget to stay in the top bidding process of all the various ad buys, it's money down the drain.
nothing sucks more than being billed for clicks that happened at some wierd hour and in areas not beneficial to your business, but they look good on the metrics and in trying to get you to buy more ads....
Setup a good list of key words, do a search on similar business and get hints of alternate key words that you may have missed.

I have only gotten impressions so far, so not too much money spent on the ads yet. Thanks for the tip for going through similar companies key words, great idea. I keep going through my keywords to make it perfect.
 
Forced Valet!!!!

You are telling me I have to give my truck to some shlep to do exactly the same thing I was going to do. Then, even if it's "complimentary", you have to tip the idiot who likely floored your truck/car whatever.

That shit really pisses me off. Havent seen a PCP doctor in over 20 years. Went this morning to finally see one and do a physical and they blocked off all parking forcing you to valet. I turned around called them up and told them to eff themselves.

I may start drinking in the am. Tired of this money grabbing - tip for your sandwich maker at Jersey Mikes bs going on nowadays.
