What Really Grinds Your Gears?

Bah... offering more to snag (‘shark’) an item is wayyyy better than the scamming that’s been going on lately...

If we don’t actively take issue/enforce bans for scams, threats and outright theft... ‘auctions’ done via PM really shouldn’t be an issue at all
If you put it that way, it may be better.

But you’re kind of saying “stealing a bike” isn’t as bad as “stealing a car”, which is true. But both suck.

People’s word means nothing these days. Quite sad really.
 
I've found the general lack of consideration is on all fronts nowadays, social and professional. Common courtesy is dying because you can just "shoot an email or text" instead of learning how to actually communicate with another human being. Just the other day I get a message on my desk to one of my junior attorneys. First I was wondering why the hell they put his message on my desk. Then I read it...a private attorney had called the office and was questioning why we had served a petition against his client when she was represented by counsel and that he would be contacting the board of professional responsibility on my attorney who signed the petition since we did not send notice to him. I pulled the file, looked at the file and saw no indication we had ever been noticed that he was now counsel of record for this individual.

So I called and asked why he was threatening my attorney. He said he filed notice with the court, "doesn't the State check the court file to see if counsel is present before filing?" I replied to him: "So let me get this straight...you think I have an employee at my office who's sole job is to check the 35,000+ cases my office handles. Check every day to see if someone has filed a notice of appearance and not followed the Rules of Civil Procedure and notified all parties to the case?" He started saying, but you aren't a party to the case. I responded, why do you think that sir? He said why would the State be involved? I said, because your client filed an application for assistance in prosecuting her case last year.... They never told me that.... Well did you ask them? No.... Then I suggest the next time you call threatening BPR action against one of MY attorneys, you make ******* sure you haven't been in violation of the Rules yourself, and review the ******* court file where we have been involved in this case for a year and a half.

Meanwhile, my office door was closed for this entire conversation and 4 people ignored the big ass sign that says authorized attorney personnel only, knock before entering...I feel your pain man...
The lack of courtesy, respect and mutual consideration for others is staggering. Electronic messaging is also a form of cowardice. “Friends” message you when they break their commitments and bail out on plans to do something. Intetnlly they are guilty and so they choose the cowardly option of telling you without the fear of direct communication leaving you with no other option except to be disappointed and they dont have to hear you.

You need better friends... or just be done with friendship all together!!!

Such a waste of time...

Amirite?
 
This is one of the only threads outside of the exchange, that I visit every so often, and I come here for the sole purpose to LMFAO at @Medusa50 's rants about his co-workers. I think it's absolute bullsh1t that he hasn't ranted in more than 48 hours, and has caused me to waste my time, visiting this thread for nothing. I think I'm gonna need a lawyer. Isn't @beau1890 one?
Plot twist, it turns out he is one of your co-workers!
