Don't Hate The Hater, Hate The Hate! - - - Part 15

[Darthphere]

Which is exactly what I did.

I mean I wish I could tell them "I don't have a problem dealing with customers, just *******s like you." Man, my last day will be epic.

 

[Xeno]

Yeah, this goes back to what I said about doing something just because everyone else is. Like the Walking Dead for instance. I don't care about anything related to zombies simply because of personal taste, but based on what everyone says about it, it seems like you're an outcast if you don't watch it. I'll probably watch it eventually, maybe once the series is over so I can catch every episode on Netflix, but for now, I don't plan on watching it and no amount of hype is going to get me excited for it.

The Walking Dead is the perfect example of what I was talking about. Zombies are my least favorite horror trope, too; I only like them when they're satirized as in Cabin In The Woods or Return of the Living Dead. Right now TWD is so popular that some of its fans are acting like Walkers themselves, swarming those who don't love it. I am never going to watch it because it simply does not interest me, but I don't begrudge others their enjoyment of it. However, I do point and laugh when Tumblr goes all weepy over the latest tragic death on the show. What do they expect when they love a zombie show? Everybody is gonna get et eventually.


I feel the same about Game of Thrones, BTW. Once the new season of that starts up, I'm going to have a whole different set of fans to tune out.

You mean like the latest rumors of Man of Steel? I don't doubt it will be good, but the year just started and the movie hasn't come out yet, so I don't think its fair to hand it any awards just yet.

The MOS rumors are the most recent example, but there are plenty of other "movie of the year" declarations, and all of them are annoying. As much as we anticipate certain films, it's impossible to tell which one will be the best until all of them have come out. Even then, it's a matter of personal preference for each individual. My "movie of the year" may be crap to someone else, and vice versa. The problem is the fans who become dogmatic about their preferred movies and then beat everyone else over the head with their opinions. We get it, you like it, but the rest of us can reserve judgment or even hate the thing if that's how we feel.

I hate the belief that the customer is always right, so essentially if you are dealing with a bad customer it's your fault for not knowing how to deal with them.

This is one of the three Dilberts I have up in my cube

 

[James]

I guess it depends where you work. The boss where I volunteer at is very frank with customers, so I follow his lead. They might get frustrated but management doesn't seem to have a problem with it.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

I hate the belief that the customer is always right, so essentially if you are dealing with a bad customer it's your fault for not knowing how to deal with them.

I agree with that, but on the flip-side I hate sales reps who talk down to you like you're an idiot. Admittedly that mostly happens at mall outlets, where they're usually young and disgruntled, or comic stores, where they're just lonely and crazy.

I hate that this past Friday at my new job, a coworker who lives near me asked if I wanted to carpool with him this coming week. The guy he usually carpools with is on vacation all next week.

Like the sucker that I am, I said sure. I HATE carpooling for two reasons. I don't like having to rely on others, especially if it involves getting to work on time. The second reason is that I'm not a morning person and don't want to have to deal with anyone until I actually get to work.

Yes, I know, I'm a dumbass for saying yes. It's just one of those things I don't know how to say no to without coming off like an *******.

 

[James]

Just say you don't go straight home after work, that you go visit a girlfriend or whatever and it's miles out of the way. In that circumstance you obviously need your car.

...too late now of course, but try something like that next time!

*Smiling*: "No, thanks, man, I'm good! Seriously; thank you, though."

 

[Piper Maru]

"I'm really sorry, I don't feel like carpooling."

"I'll drive you if you do a special favor for me...."

Either will work just fine.

 

[Figs]

Yeah, I could have used any one of those lines, but it caught me off guard when I was making some hot chocolate in the break room.

James, what you typed is basically what my wife said I should have replied with.

 

[James]

If that's what your wife told you to do then maybe come up with something other than visiting a girlfriend

Sometimes it's difficult for me to say, "No."

 

[E-Man]

I hate when Chris Hardwick's face pops up in the middle of The Walking Dead commercials for Talking Dead. His little stupid smirk always is in the wrong spot for the tone of the show. I fast forward through the ads, but his always pop up so damn quick.

 

[Lily Adler]

I hate Chris Hardwick, but I love me some Aisha Tyler.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I know someone who suffered from that, his boss gave him trouble over it

 

[lixdexia]

i hate how when entering a bad situation you brain will continually alert you to the fact that it is a bad situation but at no point will you make a course correction.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I hate it when I need to pee after I just peed
Why stay trapped and be a pain?

 

[James]

That...doesn't sound right? You may want to see a doctor.

 

[Darthphere]

No, I know that feeling as well. Especially at night. Sometimes you take that one last piss before going bed but you have this feeling like you still need to pee. You really don't but yeah.

Way back in the 90's when he used to host MTV's Singled Out I used to find his voice irritating but now it seems he lost the nasaly voice he used to have.

I go by "The customer is an idiot and doesn't know what they're talking about." Maybe thats why I'm having such a hard time finding a job

 

[NickNitro]

I hate Mondays

 

[ThDWgeek]

I hate that the DVD box sets of the DC Animated Universe have almost never been released over here. There was the first two volumes of Batman: The Animated Series, Mask of the Phantasm, and a couple of episodes edited together, and that's it. I miss Superman: TAS and Justice League.

 

[Erzengel]

U S A!!!

U S A!!!

Love my JL box set.
