OT: Name some things that drive you fucking nuts

Just walk away......I love coffee but sometimes a nice glass of citrus juice gets me going in the morning too.

In an all day seminar with a security software vendor, so we can learn how to use their tool. They have a canned presentation in a demo environment for us to go through an event simulation.

One guy on our side keeps derailing the conversation with questions about how some things work, so the presenter keeps humoring him and they go on tangents and I start to tune out. Then after a few minutes the presenter is on a screen that I have no idea how he got to and asks "is everyone on this screen?"

Mofo, I would be if you just stuck to the presentation and told Brian to shut the fuck up.

Thanks Bryan

All day seminars/training, the two people I hate the most:

1. The person that proposes doing a working lunch.
2. The person who takes it upon themselves to agree, for all, to that working lunch.

3. The guy who asks questions at every turn to make everyone else think they are smart.

 

[thedddd]

And guaranteed, it is always one of those types of people that are willing to "stay longer at the end of the day" to complete the section you are in.

This person...

Every training we do this happens.

- We get an e-mail a week in advance walking you through the steps to check your system to make sure everything launches correctly for said training.
- The first 1.5 hours of the training is always working with the people who can't get the training to launch.

 

[thedddd]

Oh the other person I hate. Is the one who always has to announce they are just "listening in" because they are too busy and need to drop for other meetings.

So essentially they are the dipshits who take a spot in the class, that someone who would actually want to learn lost out on, just so they can feed their own ego to make it sound like they are more important that the rest of us.

I laughed way too hard at this because of how true it is.

I was in a training where we had to pre-configure a Virtual Machine with the base VM on a DVD, and a 35 page config document. We got through 2 labs and were approaching lunch when one guy spoke up and asked how to launch the "cd" to start the VM.

Closest I have ever seen an instructor get to punching someone.

Only realizing you are not muted AFTER muttering under your breath "Oh my fucking God" after the umpteenth stupid question

Having the cashier narrate the payment screen as if I’m looking away or blind or don’t understand it. I’m literally looking at it and using it.

Come on, that was NOT an accident
