The one that gets me with trains recently is when they basically decommission all reserved seats as it is too busy, a train has been missed etc but people still fight their way to their previously reserved seats as if it doesn’t count for them!

Had it coming out of Euston last week and this couple in their 50’s essentially tried to bully this girl but fair play to her she clearly explained what was going on, that her seat had been taken as well and basically tough fucking shit!

Happened to me, I had to bully this oik to leave my reserved seat. He did eventually leave, mumbling and grumbling. thankfully neither he or I had heard the announcement saying reserved seats had been cancelled, until about 10 mins later.

He never came back. Probably couldn’t reach me as the train was packed

The forced happiness at Xmas time. Everyone should be jolly and merry etc when in fact the majority of us is miserable 90% of the year.

I do actually enjoy Xmas, but it's more down to having time off etc and being with loved ones than being a happy clappy merry person.

Also, thinking of it as Football Eve doesn't help

I wasn’t sure if this should go in this thread or not…it didn’t actually annoy me but I imagine it would others. It rates as a 7 or 8 out of 10 on the weirdometer…

We stayed in the Novotel near the M6 last night. We had an adjoining room, so there was a locked door to the room next door, which appeared to be made of paper. This meant you could hear EVERYTHING.

Bad enough you might think. This became increasingly ‘interesting’ at 11pm when the guests parrot in the room next door started squawking incessantly.
When I knocked the door…“It’s alright it’ll be asleep soon. I’ll put the sheet over its cage”.

A fucking parrot!!!!

Oh we heard the person in there too. Her phone conversations to reception about the lack of electricity, her conversation with reception when they came and put the keycard in the slot correctly, her weird keyboard playing, the strange circus/keyboard type music she listened to, her retelling the events this morning of the previous night to someone on the phone…

Maybe the parrot plays the keyboard while wearing a little top hat at the circus and she’s just the trainer?

I posted the same thing at the start of Christmas week then guess how I spent the only couple of days I got off over the holiday period. That's right, lying on the sofa feeling like shit.

It's not just a shitty thing to do to the the people you work with, it causes huge damage to the economy. The latest government figures for lost productivity due to presenteeism is £21 billion.

Ill tell you what annoys me lately, watching wildlife programmes. I love them, dont get me wrong. But now, you just feel like its a lecture on how I'M killing the polar bears rather than an educational film.

Then, after lecturing you for an hour about how its all YOUR FAULT the ice caps are melting they give you a 15 min, behind the scenes look in to how they made the film. Including logistics and the dozen or so 2 stroke engine snowmobiles they used, and the 6 3litre Toyota Hilux, or the 3 choppers they moved around in daily, or the 2 sea planes they privately hired for 6 months, or the huge, diesel chugging ship they rented. Im sorry, but ive not had the private use of 3 choppers for 6 months. Yet I'M the one to blame for global warming? Fuck you Attenborough!

Not sure it's anything to do with Starmer or Khan.

It's a Royal Park and they have taken the decision to close it stating that following the disbanding of The Royal Parks Police due to funding cuts the cost of the policing operation required is too great.

The cost no doubt increased by the fact that a couple of years ago someone was murdered in that park during the NYE fireworks.

Sure putting up and removing all the perimeter barriers has saved a great deal of money.

When your whole company is effectively off but one or two show offs want to tell everyone else they're doing some work.

'Let's ask a stupid question in the group chat.'

Fuck off.

The On The Beach tv advert drives me up the fucking wall. The fat family are off on their holidays and claim to have 'free' airport lounge access. It's the arrogant smirk on all their faces but particularly on the chubby boys chops that does my head in. Greedy fat little shit....
Advert totally puts me off using the company

We were forced to take today off as not a lot of our customers would be in for our waste collections. It come out of our annual leave, so now down to 22 days. The same happened last year (can’t remember what date for, but this time of year) and management said results from a staff survey said staff were happy for it to happen again. Yeah, the office staff who get 5 more days to use than us said they were happy with it.

My issue is nothing to do with proximity it is about the direction of society. Imposing restrictions.

If you get sick pay I’d hit them with a few days off later in the year when the weather is nice. That’s what I’d do.

You’d do well in the transport industry to find an employer who give decent sick pay. It’s most common you only get statutory pay after the 3rd day absent.
