Those people and businesses who don't really do anything but go to breakfast meetings and apply for as many random awards they can think of, use catchphrases and "network" with people. "Heres me at a breakfast meeting" "heres me at an awards night" "heres me at a woman in business seminar" "heres me doing a talk at x and y show" "come and see me give my talk at so and so" "it was great to meet x and y other business who does fuck all today"

Have had to work with a few of them and when it boils down to it they know absolutely nothing. To the point where it is genuinely embarrassing. I have worked with people who are out giving seminars about IT, they are selling the dream at breakfast meetings but wouldn't have a clue what a hard drive looks like.

Probably mentioned this before but being stuck behind someone in a queue who seems surprised when they have to pay for the items they're buying, just stood their staring blankly into space, before then searching for about 5 minutes through their purse full of shit for a card they have yet to max out. Arseholes!!!

don't forget the coupons thay have stashed away at the back of their purse, which also need scanning. Oh, and whilst I'm here, can you check this lottery ticket from last year to see if I've won anything?

Or they try to stand for a chat, or they want to do their month end accounts by paying for some of it in 50ps, some with a note, then on 2 other cards.

If it's from last year it's probably too late to claim.

The fact that I can't just have a sociable drink and only drink to get drunk.

You get this sort of thing in all jobs.

I am on light duties at work. But I still do my 12 hours. My experience keeps the job going although management would disagree.

Came in for a night shift a few days ago. Half of what I run had been down for a maintenance shut. There was 5 of them all around a small piece of kit. Just a bit bigger than a couple of rooms in a house. They had been trying to get it to run for a few hours. They were looking for an electrical fault. I took one look and saw a retaining bolt was missing before where they were looking. Fixed. What I didn't know was there was two more faults before this. Just looking at what was happening told me what it was. Had the whole thing going within two minutes. They could then go home a couple of hours late.

Had a 1 to 1 the next evening. Said what had happened. He did already know as he was there. Said it would help if they spent a couple of days watching how everything works. Would help with problem solving instead of just being able to fix things. He told me that it wasn't needed. We had a debate about it. He refused to listen as they are highly skilled and don't need to know how something works day to day.

Surveys where you have to pick one choice but you either don't see the choice you want or you want to pick more than one but it wont let you.
So you want to pick the box that says "None of the above", but there is no such box.

Fucking idiot managers, who change the fucking alarm code at work, then don’t tell you. Then all you hear for the next 10 mins is the alarms blaring.

mechaishida · Oct 22, 2017

When you discover that the smarmy, semi-friend you had 10 years ago has just sold the complete Pokémon card set that he got off you for £350, for a pants-destroying £8575...

My arse will never be the same after a raping like that...

It is hard these days to get a coffee. Just an ordinary cup of coffee of decent quality. I like the occasional latte. But most of the time I just want a nice large ordinary cup of coffee. But all they want to do is sell you something with a fancy name and charge you a few quid for it.

Try getting one though. I only drink coffee and beer. When on a long journey I can't have beer. But when you try asking for an ordinary cup of coffee you just get a blank look back. Or 'Is that a Latte, Americano or Cappuccino?' No. I want a nice strong ordinary coffee. Then they have to work out how to make one. I get extra shots of coffee. Then they charge me more for the extra shots of coffee.

Why can't coffee shops sell ordinary coffee? I'm not a snob. I don't need my coffee to have a posh sounding name. I'm happy to pay a few quid for a cup of boiling water and a few spoons of coffee in it. Just have the knowledge on how to make one.

Americano is basically ordinary coffee.

I would never pay somebody to make me a cup of instant coffee.

This.

Every single Saturday I tell myself I'm just going to have a couple before the match, maybe one or two after the match for the late kick-off, and be home by 8pm. Every single Saturday this turns into a 14-hour bender. I'm at that age where I get two-day hangovers, so Monday at work is always a write off.

My problem is if I wake up after a heavy one, my natural reaction is just to get straight back down the boozer and get on it. Doesn’t help having mates with the same mindset......

Had my first weekend off the beer in about 9 months and it felt great. Got shit loads done both around the house and at work today.

Won’t last though.

Terry Gibson's perm · Oct 23, 2017

I wouldn’t call that a way around! It’s a horrible horrible trade to be in a lot of the time.

Agree

Although Holidays in general now! Christmas, Easter, ‘mother’s day’, ‘fathers day’, all have become commercialised now, it’s all for money. Valentine’s Day is the worst, a day where society tells you you have to spoil your partner.

Cards, there's really no point to them. Who keeps them all?
