I have so many things today, mostly stupid shit people say to their bank teller. I will be updating his throughout the day to bitch about more nonsense.
One of my coworkers is annoying the piss out of me today. He sits back in the common area on his cell phone, which is on speaker phone, and talks as loud as he possibly can.
I. DON'T. NEED. TO. HEAR. YOUR. ENTIRE. CONVERSATION.

@jessafishy I don't know if I hate that worse or people who are talking through an earpiece/Bluetooth whatever the cool kids call it these days. I'm over here like you talkin to me?
Bank Teller: Is there any specific way you'd like that back?
Customer: Nah, whatever you've got.
Bank Teller: Well, this is the f*cking bank....we have everything...
---------
Bank Teller: Is there any specific way you'd like that back?
Customer: Nah, Maybe like some 20s and 10s?
BT: So, yes. The answer to my question was yes. There is a specific way you'd like your cash back.

Bank Teller: Is there any specific way you'd like that back?
Customer: Nope.
*BT starts taking cash from drawer*
Customer: Oh, I don't want anything larger than a $50 bill.
BT: *sigh*

Bank Teller: Would you like to cash this check or deposit it?
Customer: Yes.

Old man who is sometimes nice, sometimes not nice and very condescending (especially towards women) asks me this morning if I knew how to renew a license online.
He's too lazy and refuses to learn how to use computers to look himself on how to renew his drivers license online. The purpose of this is because he himself does not want to actually do renew his own dang license.
I'm like...
Sent him the link, help yourself bro. Follow the steps.
@VLillyV I had an agent call me this morning to ask me to make a phone call for him because he was sick. Whatever dude, you could have had this done in the time you wasted calling me to ask me to do it for you.
Also, loud-talker just came and asked if I saw he finished the paperwork that I laid out and marked EXACTLY what needed completed. Then wanted some sort of pat on the back. It was literally something a monkey could have done. The monkey probably would have completed it when the rest of the paperwork was completed, actually, since that is what is supposed to happen.
ETA: Middle aged white men are my Monday Bitchfest, evidently.

@jessafishy omg. You're kidding? You're sooo sick but you had enough time to make a CALL to tell someone else to call? What a joker.
and in reference to loud talker... boy. I have a dislike for people that do that. I have a few of them here. I don't what's it's about but part of me thinks they need to be liked and appreciated.
New add in to the fest - Guy calls this morning. Asks to speak to an attorney here **at work about something. I tell him he's not in and if it's his first time calling he needs to go through the pipeline. Takes about 20 minutes. He straight hung up on me.
Whatever! Go find a mediocre law firm who doesn't care if they waste your time and money.
I used to be the Branch Manager of the largest branch. I asked in June to step down so I could spend more time with my daughter and focus on my family.
They plopped me into the smallest branch, with a glorified title and now all I do is basically be a highly paid teller. I feel like this is a slight punishment for not putting work first. I'm so underutilized and done waiting on stoopits. I am VERY impatiently waiting for maternity leave because lord knows I need a 3 month vaca from this place!
@Myelhsa ewww I would hate that. I can't believe they plopped you right into a small branch as a teller. At least you get 3 months leave! I get two dang weeks, the rest I get to figure out on my own.
VLillyV we have one of these at my work. He was the brunt of all my rage last pregnancy. My favorite was that one time he walked in (we have been working together for 5 years) "Hey Lady...(awkward pause)...what's your name again?" He always calls me Lady which grates on my one last nerve! But he refuses to do anything. He has literally asked me 5 times to do something and I have told him 5 times how to do it. He finally went and found some innocent who caved to his demands and did it for him.
I have found in my line of work that these men are so used to their poor housewives doing everything for them that they refuse to do things themselves then suspect anyone woman in his workplace to pick up where she left off. Dude, this isn't Mad Men, you can't sit in your office doing nothing but drinking and napping all day. And I am not your secretary! Apparently I still have bottled up rage.
@mrs_fogue Ughh! That's so RUDE and almost dehumanizing. That's exactly how I felt when he walked in like he owned me. I know the relationship he has with his wife is also very "secretary" like. It's such a disservice. I mean, I get wanting to help someone out of your heart... but when you teach someone something, over and over and over, only for them to really not care and still try to impose upon you... not ok.
Which by the way, has totally happened with this guy. I've taught him things numerous times and he refuses to learn. He will go find some innocent or complain to my very kind boss, who will then force me to help him.
Waste of my time and not to be rude or conceited, but also my talent. I shouldn't be doing mindless tasks like renewing drivers licenses.
my sister keeps trying to talk me into why buying a house. $300K...yes 3-0-0...over her budget is a good idea, bc she can put her studio in the house and get a business loan. hey dumb dumb...you still have to pay for it. and even more infuriating, my parents are entertaining this idea. which means i am sure they are thinking about cosigning so she can get this loan.
@carries2018 and this is how the housing crisis began! Just because the bank agrees to entertain the idea of such a loan doesn't mean you can actually afford said loan.
@carries2018 I feel like you shouldn't be allowed to have a co-signer on a mortgage. If the people living in the house cant afford it then they need to move on.
@mrs_fogue their credit is so bad, there is no way the bank would even offer this. but if she can talk my parents into this they would be able to get the loan. its just a giant mess written all over it. and if my parents do this, they will have to deal with my hormonal wrath. so T&Ps to them.
Angry old lady calls. She is a client and refuses to speak to "the help" such as lowly little ol me. Very Angry lady specifically tells me "grrrr I want to speak with your boss, rawr" so I tell her... My boss doesnt want to speak to you... awww.
She says well "rawrr, I want to speak to him, grrr"
So I say... "awww he's on the phone, womp womp wompp"
So she says... 'What is your name and how long are you working there for"

to which I say " (Name here) and 5years"
Old lady: "Grrr."
Byeeee angry froo froo.
i work for my parents, and it is just an office of me and them. i have been here for so long and clearly vested in the business bc it is a family one. my parents know if i am an asshole it is bc the person is one and it is a "nobody"...it is my favorite when they ask to speak to my manager. k sure thing, hold please! "mom someone wants to tell you to fire me on line 1"
@carries2018 Sweeeeet! I wish I had that going on here, dang!
See, my boss is very kind. SO kind, in fact... that he has an impossible time telling people no (mostly clients). Which is why this comes into play. He for some reason can not tell this angry lady that she needs to communicate with her team, not him. But hey, if he wants to keep dealing with the angries... his call! We can only defend him and protect his time when he lets us.
@VLillyV that is how my dad is, so i give calls like that to my mom haha. who in reality i probably out rank her with my responsibilities. but whatevs. ppl just like to yell at ppl.
My bitch today is just Spring Break. WTF, why do kids have to have week long breaks every other month. It's not like that in the real world sugar!
My bitch is that our daycare has spring break but we still pay for the full month. Sooo, yep, I'm paying another daycare to watch my son next week on top of the monthly tuition I already paid the regular daycare.
@Myelhsa I worked for a bank for 8 years and that job made me hate people! There was one woman who argued with me saying I was lying about us not having $1000 bills. I told her the highest we carried were hundreds and she accused me of keeping them for myself. And another one tried to use our staff as her personal secretary. Like write out the checks for her bills, fax things, and make phone calls for her. Even if I was with a client, she would open my office door and barge in like there was no one else there. I'm so glad I'm done working at the bank.

Omg all of this! I legit just got in a fight with somebody yesterday over $500 bills. He was super pissed off that I wouldn't order them for him and keep them on hand. That's not how this works, that's not how any of this works....

Or the people who don't call ahead for cash withdrawals of $200k and get pissed when you don't have it. What do you mean you can't give me that much cash? You're a bank, don't you have unlimited amounts of money back there? Uuuummmm no. I swear you can tell a lot about people based on their behavior at the bank.

Or, "This check will require a hold."
Customer: "Thats ridiculous! My credit union wouldn't hold it!"
Me: "Then go to your damn credit union! Why are you here giving me grief?!"
She asked him questions about her insurance policy and what certain dictionary terms meant. To make it seem like she didnt waste time, she complained that her team isn't communicating and they don't know what they're doing... But he countered by saying there is a memo where things are documented (which is true)
overall. She's just needy and cries wolf. I officially discredit now 99% of her urgent needs. womp womp.
Totally new topic, but I'm raging. I work in a small office - 6 employees. Everyone is responsible for washing their own dishes, but we all help out and will do others if they're sitting in the sink. My 70-yr-old assistant is a germaphob, and cleans the sink several times a week using bleach. It sprays all over everything, and she uses it to clean the sponge we use for washing dishes. This has always bothered me, but now that I'm pregnant it seriously pisses me off. I do not want to be breathing in bleach or having it on the dishes I eat with. I've said something to her multiple times, and she always responds, "I don't spray it on your stuff." But it gets EVERYWHERE. I just washed a fork, then scrubbed my hands, and they still smell like bleach.
Am I crazy?
