Doing the great car insurance quote hunt as my current long term agent is pulling out of NV. Not five minutes after I'm done looking at a comp site (something zebra) I get a fucking call on my phone from 'ching chong chow who wants to give me the good news on auto insurance'.

I hope you told him your name was ching chong chow.

I don't think there's anything more fucking rustling that some fucker pinging me on Slack to let me know they sent me an email. I saw your fucking email, I'll respond to it when I feel it's important enough to.

What about when they see you and stop you to ask you if you saw their email?

Got emailed towards the end of the day when I wasn't even in the office about changing a last name, nothing urgent.

Walk past the person who sent the email literally 5 minutes after I get into work today and they stop me asking if I saw their email yesterday and then proceed to explain what they mailed me.

One of the benefits of a secure building, departments separated and limited access. IT/Engineering on their own floor. Not in IT or engineering? No access to the floor much less the department.

In this instance I happened to be walking by their office so they saw me. Even then they has access to the area where my office is.

But Jesus fucking Christ I want to scream at this person though. I don't know how they have a job.

They asked me what the direct dial number is for an extension. I gave it to them, but it included +1 at the start of it.

5 minutes later I get a message in teams saying I kid not "to many numbers n the end, is there one 7 or two?"

I tell them to take off the 1.

"1 what 7"

So I just retype the number as xxx-xxx-xxxx.

At least once a week there some retarded interaction like this. I'm honestly shocked they haven't been fired yet.

Another bitch I have is while I’m on the engineering team I’m also stuck doing operational shit for our content production team (a hell I don’t think I’ll ever be free from) and the dumbasses on that team are constantly contacting me as they make their little project plans for the year asking if a 1-2 day range of dates will work for me 6 months from now. How the fuck am I going to know if I have room in my sprint for your shit in October? I’m not a fucking seer.
