If you're like me and you work in retail then you understand the horrors that can occur when dealing with customer service. From angry unsatisfied customers to sweet appreciative customers you never know which kind of customer you're going to get. There are so many things that are considered wrong in the retail world, but some of them aren't as obvious. Below is a list of 25 of the biggest pet peeves for people who work in retail.

1. We can't make miracles happen

2. If we don't got it, then we don't got it

3. We aren't responsible for the bathrooms... shit happens

4. You aren't our only customer, so wait your turn

5. Go to an open register if you're going to complain about the line

6. Put your items back or hang them back up at least

7. Throw your trash away

8. Stop stealing... it's not worth it

9. Don't leave the dressing room like your room at home

10. We aren't your maid, so clean up your messes

11. Just because you have a million coupons doesn't mean you can use them all on the same purchase

12. Stop assuming that the item that is misplaced is on sale because chances are it's not

13. Don't ask for my help when I have a pile of clothes in my arms

14. Don't assume I work in every department and know everything little thing about the store

15. Don't yell at me when we sell out of a product because I can't control that

16. Don't assume that I know if we are getting something in stock because I have no clue

17. Don't approach me with an attitude, you can at least ask how my day is going

18. Don't come in 5 minutes before we close to "look around"

19. Don't throw things around the store or ride kayaks down the escalator

20. Put your carts back, that includes baskets

21. Don't pee on the elevator

22. Don't scream at me while I'm cleaning the bathroom after you complained about it being dirty

23. Don't get mad at me when I try to solve your problems

24. Don't shop the products that I'm putting out on the floor off of my z-rack, wait until I'm done

25. Don't ask me if every little thing is on sale, If there isn't a sign then it's full priced

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
