  • Being the youngest in my office by a significant margin, so whenever there is an IT problem I'm automatically enlisted to sort it. I've spent my whole morning teaching a new colleague who earns a lot more than I do how to use a computer.

    On the plus side, you can let all the MILF's mother you.
    Not sure they could be considered MILF's, although one does feed me biscuits every 15 minutes.

    The praed street exit Paddington - it's a mess. You've got people coming in from 2 sides, plus people coming down the stairs, and exiting all converging on a badly designed space.....

    All they need are a few delays and all hell breaks loose

    According to cutting edge research in quantum physics, the slowest observable speed of any particle is equal to a photon crossing a Planck length in the time of 10 to the power of -43 in seconds.

    However I am about to blow this theory out of the water as I observed an even slower moving particle at Superdrug as it took 4 checkout girls 10 minutes to serve 5 people.

    Shit admin by those who should know better.

    My last contract - which was absolutely fucking horrible - was at a massive company; €7.5,000,000,000 revenue per year massive. So you'd expect their finance department to be pretty shit hot wouldn't you?

    I've been waiting for 2 weeks for Purchase Order numbers to come through for the final 10 days I worked, and - lo and behold - their admin/finance team completely dropped the ball. They didn't actually bother to allocate the funds by the sounds of it, so didn't have a PO number I could invoice against. They can't pay invoices without it.

    "But how come this only happened for the final two weeks?" I hear you ask! Funnily enough, because I was being paid for by the holding company before that, and they decided "Yeah, we're not paying for this random guy anymore - he should be paid for directly by the child company.".

    How long did it take the holding company to realise that they shouldn't have been paying me? About 3 months. For 3 months they were issuing PO numbers and paying invoices without having a clue what they were actually for.

    They were horrendous! She felt "physically sick" when driving the Kia because it wasn't a Range Rover, what?!

    Fooking twats who reverse out of their drives without looking, twice in the last couple of months, myself and my dog have almost been under cars. Just stopping within an inch and then letting the driver have it. However I've learnt it's best not to kick the wing mirror off.

    When UK websites ask what City you live in as a required field. I don't live in a City. Why is there no County option.

    Websites where, after a few seconds, random shit pops up and darkens the rest of the page and you have to find the tiny 'X' or 'Close' button, usually something like 'YOU ARE NOT LOGGED IN, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER' or 'IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE FROM THE UK, WOULD YOU LIKE US TO TAKE YOU AWAY FROM THE PAGE YOU ARE VIEWING TO GO TO THE UK HOME PAGE'.

    Do web designers hate people?

    Getting on the jubilee line at Waterloo. When you go down the escalator to go East you bump into people getting off the westbound trains who cut across you and vice versa. Why not change the rotation of the escalator to the side closest to the exiting people.

    At a junction today.... I was with a mate who was turning right... The traffic had stopped at a set of lights 50 yards on our left. So it was free to turn righrt as traffic either way couldn't move, until some prick who wasnt going to lose anyrthing blocked the gap and prevented us from turning right.

    The total failure of the human race to grasp the threads of success and weave them into a glorious tapestry.

    And, the total ability of the human race to promote 'believable incompetence' that seeks no discernible goal other than that of the personal and for that to become an acceptable position.

    The death of the soul for the betterment of the sole.
