If Marketing quit giving random (ie not approved by IT) release dates for software that wasn't developed yet we wouldn't be in this mess to begin with. Same goes for saying the software does x when it doesn't and expecting the developers to drop everything and create x functionality to save their butts.

It is a small, but vital distinction from what you said:

Someone just took my food out of the microwave because hers took less time. Then I watched her as she put my food back in, for the time left, on the wrong power level. Had I not seen it the food would have been incinerated.

That sucks.

I had a lady take my stuff out of the washer before the cycle was done and just leave it on the counter. I turned off all her dryers I wanted to put dye in her laundry but I contained myself.

My complaint:

I think its grand that waitress' can memorize your order and then bring you something you didn't order.

Isn't that why God invented Pen & Paper?

My complaint of the day:

When your child is sick and not going to school where I usually pick them up at noon, call me so I don't look like an idiot waiting for a child that is not there. Apparently you had time to call the school to tell them he wouldn't be there but couldn't call the daycare who picks him up...

Speeding ticket. 60 in a 45. Five miles from home after a round trip to court in Sacramento.

Wouldn't it be nice if I had a working computer and a working phone in the same location at the office? Even better if the computer and the phone were at my desk...

I know of some daycares who charge for such things. It's amazing how considerate people can get when they're hit in the pocketbook.

No kidding. There was a "pilot" in a few offices and then I noticed more and more offices were showing up in the system. Sure, they told me, as the agents go through training they start using the new system. When was accounting asked to sign off on it? I asked. I didn't get an answer but at least no one laughed at me.

Now I'm getting my revenge. I e-mail them every day to tell them the latest stupid travel agent trick.
