Annoying People

Today I filled my quota of annoying people. Here were just the ones that stuck out. (sidenote, I have chosen to leave out the aspects of the annoying people who hurt my feelings today, and focus on the annoyances more of the strangers I dealt with).

1. School Counselor. I get a phone call this morning before the morning bell rang for school asking me to set up some sound equipment for the auditorium. Apparently, there is this assembly going on all morning and they not only need a microphone but they need the sound system. Now, this is not hard to set up, in fact it only takes a second and it is my job so I really don't mind, I just hate not being told. What annoys me is that she had no one there to run the sound system. My students are trained to run it and had to leave my class to help her run this sound system. Again, I would not have minded at all if I had just known about it in advance. Not that big of a deal, but in any case slightly annoying.

2. The Government. More specifically, FAFSA. I am working on getting financial aid for the summer and found out today that I have to resubmit my paperwork because I was told misinformation back in January when I asked about it. Of course, they have no record that I called and asked that question. They don't even have a record that I called again in March when my FAFSA didn't go through to ask why. And no record that I called again earlier this week and found out that I had been doing it wrong this whole time and all I had to do was fill out a simple form all all would be better. Nope, no record of that. And when I called back to double check that I was doing it correctly, I was told AGAIN that I was doing it wrong and had to re submit EVERYTHING. I hope they have a record of that phone call.

3. Woman in the Post Office. I hate going to the post office. The line is always long and I never know what I am doing. But it is a necessary evil. So there I am waiting in line for 20 or so minutes. This woman was standing near the counter on her cell phone filling out some paperwork. She finished her phone call, turned aroud to face the check out. The man behind the counter said "next" and she walked up there, bypassing the entire line (which, was at least a 30 minute wait now). SHE WALKED THERE WITH OUT A CARE IN THE WORLD, LIKE SHE WAS NEXT IN LINE. She was SO not next in line. The bitch.

4. My grandparents.
Grandmother 1 -- My moms mother. I am annoyed because she cannot stay in her budget and just assumes that my father will bail her out. That puts stress on my father and mother and therefore that puts stress on me.
Grandmother 2 -- My dads mother. In the hospital because she overdosed/didn't take some drugs, we are not really sure. Now she is manipulating the hell out of the staff but remaining pretty belligerent and refusing to eat and therefore is not being sent home. Making my parents life a living hell.
Grandfather 1 -- My dads father. Fired his live in help for no reason. Also acting pretty looney by refusing to take his meds. Making my parents life a living hell.

5. Man who works in my Apartment Complex. I walk in my leasing office to pay my rent today and here is the dialogue that ensues with annoying man.

Me: Here is my rent check.
Annoying Man: Thank you.
M: Just one question. Can I get one of those keys to get into the Fitness Center?
AM: You never got one when you moved in?
M: No.
AM: Are you sure?
M: Yes.
AM: Really?
M: Yeah, I am sure.
AM: Really? You're Sure?
M: Yep, as sure as I was since the last time you asked me. (I said with a smile on my face).

Argh.
