I have to say it. It really irks me when I see people who are supposedly quality professionals to constantly misuse the term ISO when they mean ISO 9001. There are many people here at the Cove who do that

Things like: "We have ISO, now what?" or "finance is not in ISO", etc.

ISO is an organization, folks:mad:!!! Not a standard.

Isn't ISO 14001 also "ISO" and the other 18,000 standards they issue, as well?

Quality professionals need to be precise in their communication.

One of my biggest pet peeves is slow pokes plodding along in the fast lane...:mad::mad::mad:

Sidney, I am sometimes guilty of that, but only when it has been made abundantly clear that we are discussing 9001. It does bother me at work when ISO is used to refer to the quality management system, especially since we have quality and environmental, and safey management systems. Any of which can be covered by an ISO standard.

My pet peeve: people who "axe" questions. "So, let me axe you..." Oh, H#!! no! I'm not going to let anybody axe me, I believe in self defense, and I know how to shoot...

my pet peeve is people with pet peeves. :lmao::lmao::lmao::sarcasm:

my pet peeve is people with pet peeves.

For real...how shallow to only have one peeve.:tg:

:soap:

So let me ask, if people have pet peeves, are there also feral peeves? Are wild peeves dangerous? Or are they easily domesticated? Once domesticated do they automatically become pet peeves, or does that take some extra time and effort to reach that level of attachment to where you think of the peeve as a pet? And, let me ask, have I gone stark raving bonkers to even be able to contemplate such questions as these?:o

I love a tangled mind! Bonkers... noooo. Weird. That's what my beloved calls me. Weirdo or geek.
How do you catch a unique peeve? You 'neek up on it! :lmao:
How do you catch a tame peeve? The tame way! :lmao::lmao:

Seriously most of my peeves relate to people being stupid or self-centered. Like taking a left turn where its clearly marked not to. Or texting while you're driving on the same highway as others. Or farding (no, not a typo). Or yelling at the cell phone so everyone in the store has to hear your end of the conversation. Or pissing on the toilet seat - public or otherwise - and leaving it. Or littering - which includes cig butts.

Gone? Or still??:tg:

...especially if you are into mega vitamins.:nope:

People speak in generalities and then expect you to know the details via a “crystal ball”, or “osmosis”:rolleyes:

The people that pass you in the right so they can cut you off when the road narrows to 1 lane each direction. Then they stop to make a left turn!:mad:

Randy, I was pretty certain you don't live near me, but you just described half the drivers in this county.:(

Another peeve: People who want to argue with you when you are discussing an issue and use the "I've never seen that happen." Do they really think that I make up stuff?

"um, I think you better not stick your hand in there, you might get it caught and ripped off." "I will not! I've never seen that happen, you don't know what you are talking about."

"Did you realize that what you are doing is illegal?" "It is not! I've never seen anybody get arrested for doing it."

Famous last words: "Hey, watch this!"

Greetings;

Smokers, at every intersection I hit a red light at there are thousands of butts on the ground. Last time I checked there were still ash trays in cars, stop tossing you trash out the window.

Truck drivers, I drive by a truck stop on the way to work and they ALWAYS run red lights and not just one, the driver behind runs it also. I have seen State trooper in front of me at the light watch them run it and just drive away.

Police, Thanks for keeping us safe,BUT do you think you could lead by example and maybe drive at the speed limit like we are supposed to. 99% of all of the police/state troopers I see driving are running 10+ miles over the speed of trafic. I see troopers driving in civilian attire with children in their car driving fast. They all cannot be going to a call.

I have more but do not want to **** everyone off at once.

Thank you....I needed to smile today....hehehe LOL :bigwave:

Aggressive women drivers, tailgating...often while talking on the phone. Learn some physics, will ya? You can't stop in that small space without hitting me and I can't/won't go down the road any quicker because the vehicle in front of me and/or posted limits prevent me from going faster to get away from you.....

Hey, and what about the woman who complained that my car (see red one in my photos) was too loud and it was affecting her phone conversation while driving.......no joke!

At one of my consulting clients, everyone calls me ISO Steve. They chose to call me that, so I'm not sure if 9001 is my middle name or not. I suppose it's possible that it comes from the Greek word "ISOS" and they call me that because I'm consistent and treat everyone equally. :agree1:

But, are aggressive men drivers OK? Aggressive men tailgaters? Men Talking on phone?:confused:

Actually, in my experience they're few and far between..........Maybe it's just in Michigan, where all the guys are car geeks!

No, but I used to work for a Japanese company where on correspondence everyone went by their first initial of their first name and the first two initials of their last name. That made me SHO. Unfortunately it was sometimes pronounced "Ess Ho"... :mg:

<SNIP> And, let me ask, have I gone stark raving bonkers to even be able to contemplate such questions as these?:o
Answer: Affirmative

People speak in generalities and then expect you to know the details via a “crystal ball”, or “osmosis”:rolleyes:I see you know my wife - she certainly must think I'm psychic, because she sure expects me to read her mind. (I really am from Mars!)

The people that pass you in the right so they can cut you off when the road narrows to 1 lane each direction. Then they stop to make a left turn!:mad:I live in the land with only two seasons: winter and construction. This happens to me at least five times a day. My solution is to leave early for my destination, turn the radio to NPR, and curse each transgressor at the top of my voice. They don't hear the curses, but I feel better.

Send some down south to Illinois to implement some training - for males and females. A young girl flipped this old geezer the bird this morning as she cut in front of me.

Steel, one more thing. The question was only about pet peeves and I don't have a pet peeve about guys who drive badly. I kinda expect it..........:notme:

I have to say around here, it is equal opportunity for bad drivers. I was coming to work this morning and our sales supervisor came up behind me. She was going really fast, so I just slowed down hoping she'd pass me and get off my bumper. She stayed right there for 3 miles, finally we reached a no passing zone and she went around me going into a blind curve.:rolleyes:

Lordy, lordy.

I take comfort that a lot of the comments are about driving peeves. I feel more justified in my driving peeves now. I have many, but my most aggravating one is people who pull up to the entrance to a road from a parking lot, wait until you are 50 feet away, and then pull right out in front of you. I firmly believe we all have a tiny Hitler in all of us who would gladly pack certain people into cattle cars to go to their doom, and those folks top my "list".

My pet peeve.... well, this may not apply to you folks in tehe US of A, but here in Canada: Every province has, or seems to have, it's own set of safety standards :(.
Why can they not all just standardise, say OHSAS 18000? :sarcasm::mad:

You're lucky you have so few provinces. As you know, the US has 50 states...

Granted, however do they not all predominantly use 18000 as their safety standard?

Well, you get into state specific regulations and such.

But are they not enforced federally? i.e some federal council with a set of minimum requirements?..... just asking, I do not know how the system operates down south of the border.

Yes, that's OSHA, which stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration (or "Act," depending on whether you're referring to the agency or the statute). It sets minimum requirements, which the states may augment or make more stringent.
