I could have added that when I'm plumbing in friends' washing machines, the young wife and sometimes the teenage daughter as well, for some inexplicable reason, strip off their clothes to put in the machine in front of me and then proceed to undress me and well, one thing leads to another and before you know it there's sweaty writhing and an exchange of body fluids. I'm not sure why plumbing has this effect on women? However, I don't want to show off so I not going to mention it.

Networking!!!

I think before we dismiss networking out of hand we need some blue-sky thinking about this, run it up the flagpole and see who salutes it as it may progress our strategic goals in a cost-effective integrated and holistic way to give us a synergy solution and allow us to get the low hanging fruit in a sustainable way moving forward.
All I'm saying is, let's cloud-burst it first.

I think I can offer you a window at some point - Prepare yourself to be leaving through it.

People who try to haggle, so much so they try and play a long game of acting stupid to get a discount.

richnrg · Mar 12, 2019

people that wrongly call haggling, 'bartering'.

Multi storey car parks

richnrg · Mar 15, 2019

adverts for schools -( often in newspapers, local free leaflets etc)

they always have pictures of kids doing something other than working. e.g building fucking go-karts, sailing yachts, playing lacrosse,

Why not be honest and have a picture of 36 smelly kids looking bored shitless whilst swearing at/stabbing their teachers

Must have at least 3 of them picking their noses.

That sounds like me in the Turkish markets in Fethiye

We do a networking session as part of our assessment days for certain roles in our company and it is very, very interesting.

Amazing how many people gravitate to the mostly smartly dressed or people they perceive to be the most important and miss the point completely.

As pretentious as it sounds I have done a lot more business and made more connections going on the piss with people than I ever have in meetings.

Yep, going on the piss builds a working relationship a lot quicker than any pissing about with LinkedIn etc.

Hospitals. Slow as fuck because every prick is stood around talking

Captain Dart · Mar 16, 2019

Popular new idioms. I currently hate "xxx has skin in the game" is I think a new one.

I already have a full hand of idioms which I can misuse.

oscillatewildly · Mar 17, 2019

The tragedy of the 'personalised' vehicle registration plate. I'm not talking 1 COV, COV1 or even JF61 WBA or ---- LFC, etc.
As football fans I'm sure we all recognise homage to our favourite teams.
Squeezing/altering numbers and letters to make a rough appropriation of a first, surname or nickname has me cringing.
I knew a lad who had the surname, Smart - He was far from it but that didn't stop him purchasing a plate that contained S4ART.
He applied for leave from work to join a family holiday abroad - He was denied as too many other people on his section would be off during those dates.
He still went ahead tho and had the holiday (probably buoyed by the fact his father held a middle management position within the company)
He was sacked soon after getting home (he had a pretty poor attendance record before this.)
I'd like to think he was able to get a refund on the plate, if he so desired it.

I do like the ones where they tell you what car it is. As if you can’t read the badge on the back so need the plate to show it. Cxxx plates on Twitter is good for it.

Head above parapet time - i bought one for my missus, as she wanted to "de-age" her car (with the intention of keeping it a while). Nothing complicated or stupid spacing - just a letter, a round number, then her initials. I think they have their place, unless they get overly arsey!
There's a guy drives around these parts in his Discovery with the (illegally-spaced) reg TIM GK. He has more than a passing resemblance to Tim Flowers.

Knew a guy who had an xj6 with the plate SHA661N... Sold it with the plate after a couple of years as he was sick and tied of being pulled over by the police.

OffenhamSkyBlue · Mar 18, 2019

All these newly-released ones (generally women's cars, it seems) that say KI55 *** (insert initials here) get on my tits.

Ralph Lauren Logos have grown about 100 times bigger since my day!

tommydazzle · Mar 18, 2019

Yep, people are walking around like advertising hoardings. A triumph of marketing to the sheep.

Why are people allowed to smoke outside hospital entrances? C*nts.

Captain Dart · Mar 20, 2019

The Virgin TV salesman that just called and pretended he hadn't noticed the 'no door to door salesmen' sign I had up until after he rang the bell.

At best he is being disingenious at worst a lying c**t.

<snip>

In the old days people used to put up a sign saying "No Hawkers", a much more succinct term.
Does anyone nowadays know what that means?

The oldest clothing logo I could find was Levis Stauss, used on jeans since 1886.
But the first famous one I remember was the the small indistinct alligator on Lacoste shirts back in the 70's.
It all grew from there.
My most hated is the large PINK that Victoria's Secret puts on the bum of women's pants.
That's got to be the most obnoxious of all.

"Get your ducks in a row" always makes me cringe.

You aren’t allowed to smoke anywhere on site AFAIK. Not sure who’s going to stop you though.

I make sure they know they are dirty c*nts every time I had to walk past them.

I've seen patients outside complete with IV drip bags with a fag on.

The best ones are the ones hooked up to Oxygen. Ticking time bomb!

OffenhamSkyBlue · Mar 22, 2019

An old friend of my in-laws was wheeled outside for a fag by the care assistant in the nursing home he was in. Complete with oxygen bottle. Time-bomb stopped ticking as he caught fire and sadly succumbed. Negligence case ongoing.

Anyone would think smoking is addictive.

Or that it wasn't overly accepted by the fact that a massive tax is levied on cigarettes.

people called 'Kit'

Recruitment agencies that can see on your profile you're only interested in Cov but phone you up about things miles away and then get the hump when you say no "google says its only a hour away".
