Pet peeves that should be pet peeves

I think the other modes of transportation to get to Cuba for $1g would be significantly less comfortable.

The worst part about a flight to cuba is that when it's done....you're in Cuba.

Fukin plane travel.

Flew back last night from Cuba and boy did it suck. No screens, no WiFi, no f*n room (but maybe I'm a fatty), bar across the bottom of the seat cold be felt the whole 5.5 hour flight.

Absolute garbage service. I guess when you look for the cheapest flight, this is what you end up with. That'll learn me.

Haha no kidding. Never once in my life have I thought about visiting that place.

This new trend of very mainland China companies claiming to be Australian or UK businesses.

No if your customer service manufacturing and shipping all are from Shenzhen china - you can't claim you're British just because you put a residential apartment building address in Lancashire on your website.

When you call a business, and the person who's job it is to answer phones at the business, doesn't have the ability to transfer your call to the party you are trying to reach AND doesn't have a pen to take down your name and message.
Doubly bad when it's a large multimillion dollar business.

Triply bad when the receptionist transfers cold calls. If someone was doing business with the company contact, they’d have their direct number!

Not everyone wants to hear about your life changing MLM scheme!

It makes more sense when you realize she is being paid to screen your calls

[ExtraSlow]

Oh yeah I get it, I've been screened by better than her. The professional way to do it, is to tell me that the person I'm trying to reach is in a meeting, take my message, and then deliver the message to that person.
Not say "i'm not at my desk, I'm in the basement actually"

Company rhymes with sea-knock.

I hate this. We have direct numbers set up on teams instead of having desk phones so when ever I get something that says "transfered from reception" I just ignore it. Then I get a transcribed voicemail from some sales bro/broad about this fancy new thing that they want to meet me over coffee to tell me about. 90% of the time its nothing even relevant to the line of work I am in and they just heard my name was associated with the company so I must be their guy.

I know sales folk have a job to do but cold calls just drive me nuts. I don't want to talk about trickle chargers no matter how many art room invites you extend my way!

[ExtraSlow]

To be clear, sometimes it's my job to make cold calls. However, it's a very small part of my job.
It'd be hard to make a living on true cold calls in my business.

I work remote. I don't have a work number. I don't buy things for the company. I had a sales bro cold call my personal cell after hours. After telling him off, he had the audacity to try to connect with me on Linkedin.

When places that are not in the path of the solar eclipse, have organizations making a big deal out of the solar eclipse. Fucks sake, this is a huge nothingburger in Alberta.
