30 day challenge - day 15

Three pet peeves!

1. My name is Christopher. I go almost exclusively by it at work and online. Only family and close friends call me Chris. It drives me absolutely nuts that when I introduce myself to others as Christopher and they immediately shorten it to Chris. No - that is not my name. If I wanted you to call me Chris, I would have introduced myself that way. Do not assume that I want you calling me Chris. That is reserved for those close to me. 

 2. That I have to order most sandwiches without Mayo. Why do restaurants assume that everyone loves mayo. I don’t! I hate it. I shouldn’t have to ask - does it have mayo (even when it isn’t listed on the menu), because I have been burned too many times with food arriving with Mayo when it wasn’t included in the description. I also can’t tell you the number of items I have asked for no mayo and my sandwich still came with it. Argh!!!!

3. People who come into the library talking on their phones and then want you to help them while they continue their conversation. First - end your conversation and talk directly to me instead of starting to ask me a question and then pause and talk to the person on the phone. It is rude and your are keeping me from helping customers who aren’t on their phones and need assistance. As much as I love my cell phone and all the things I can do with it - too many people can’t seem to realize how rude it is to keep talking on the phone when in a public building or when trying to get assistance. No call should be that important and if it is - why are you in the library?
