What annoys you about your job?

I just thought that I'd see if there are others who sometimes get quite p***ed off with aspects of their jobs?

For me it's those people who turn up for an eye exam without any previous glasses, and then expect me to tell them if they need new ones?! Oh and those who come in with a list of complaints as long as your arm and when I tell them the solution they just choose to ignore any advice.

Time wasting....grumble grumble...

Re: What annoys you about your job?

Too many business consultants trying to tell me how my job should be done! (when they clearly do not know what they are talking about!)

We are currently suffering from an initiative overload; we just start on one and they come up with another, all the while I am still trying to do the day job!!

People who phone up and demand we play their requests, and the ones who say they'll chat about something on air with us then bottle up as soon as we go live

Re: What annoys you about your job?

Starting at 5am in the morning.... on a saturday

Then 8.30am on a sunday

Doesn't leave any time for weekend partying

And the fact that it's the most labourious job in the world, and there's no point to it at all... Can't wait to leave Sixth Form and get a proper job
