I was at work, trailer showed up to be offloaded, broke the security seal, took the trip sheet and manifest then went back into my dock to start filling out the paperwork.
BUZZZZ!
Stupid obnoxiously loud door buzzer sounds. My desk is less than 10 feet from the door. For the 10,000th time I jumped out of my skin, even after years of hearing that stupid thing go off several times a day. It still scares the crap of me on occasion.
I open the door with my pass card to let in the driver I who I have told 10 times and now for the 11th time I say to him, "Stop ringing that damn buzzer! I was right there!"
I point to the desk a few feet behind me, then said. "Why can't you just knock on the door? I know you are here, I just took your paperwork from you outside, remember? Where do you think I went? It's not like I didn't know you were coming in. You have to. It's the SOP, just like it was last time you were here, and the time before that. Why do you think today would be any different?" As usual the guy just stands there with his arms folded.
I continue, "why is this such a difficult thing to do? Why do I have to repeat the same instructions to the same people, day after day, after day. Bloody sick of it. STOP IT!"
The guy looks me right the eyes and says, "buddy, can I go to the washroom?"
I said "Really? It's over there, try not to fall in." :mad:
I hate my job. :banghead:
