I have that beat. I work with an old fellow who despite not being computer literate, (can’t open or respond to emails, log on to job lists, input info on various systems and generally blanks out when shown anything), still manages to watch endless cat video on YouTube with the volume turned up to 11 because he has selective hearing. He does this everyday of the week at least 3-4 hours a day and also finds time to get an hours sleep in, 2 x 30 minute tea breaks and 3/4 hour read of the paper after getting in which he insists reader parts to me as if I haven’t seen yesterday’s news or worthless gossip. He also sneaks off early everyday but that’s a bonus to me.lordromford said:

The husband then proceeded to watch video after video on his phone AT FULL VOLUME. I don’t mean “I could hear his phone”, I mean “You could’ve heard his phone in the next block along. Seriously, no exaggeration”.And these were the type of videos that show crappy bloopers with a soundtrack of swannee whistles and ‘boing’s and some prick laughing too much. Neither of the couple thought this was in any way antisocial. Pair of fucking morons.
So it’s not just kids. Sometimes it’s just that people are ignorant selfish pricks.
But the YouTubeing is the bit that annoys with it silly music / comments. His brain must be mushy.
What is this bloke's job and are there any others available?3 -

Head of recruitment at Charlton.
(Joke, joke, calm down)7 -
We work a 36.5 hour week, so if you take 6.75 from 7.3 it sort of says he works 0.8 hours a day which may sound a tad exaggerated but most weeks he doesn’t do a stroke. Believe it or not there’s more, we have another old fellow who sort of matches the same work rate but he just mostly reads weird websites, comes in later than everyone else and disappears early.Covered End said:

Most people would have the hump working while these pair don’t but my job is quite interesting, no pressure and not badly paid for what I have to do so I’m not going to rock the boat. If their jobs go, which I think is highly likely, it’s not going to be anything to do with me. I’d rather not say what and where I work for various reasons.0 -
Neighbours (next door but one) who don’t collect packages you’ve taken in for them.They got a note from postie too as I saw him write and post it. The neighbour in between us doesn’t take her stuff in for her as they fell out.I thought she was away at first but have seen her car back on drive. It’s been 10 days. We were away at weekend and each time we go out in day time her car isn’t there and I leave for work at 6am so too early to drop off then. Husband took a package we took in before for her at 10am and she looked so miserable and ungrateful that he’d disturbed her sleep he’s refusing to take this round. It’s a long curtain pole size tube leaning up against the wall in our hallway. So annoying.1

We always take stuff in for neighbours and then for us, my next door neighbour texted me as they are on holiday and asked if I would mind taking something in for him.

Couple of hours later a pair of motorcycle wheels turned up. Dafuq do I do with them!?!?! I've literally just cleared space in my garage now its taken up with those things whilst he gets his New Forest chill on!
And I put his bin out for him on Monday morning

Didn't mind normally but the bloke next door is a cameraman and gets massive parcels then leaves them for ages, and half the time he was in anyway but couldn't be arsed to walk though from the garden.1 -
She finally came to pick it up on Saturday, husband answered the door. She said sorry it took so long but she didn't have a note so didn't know where it had been delivered, but then said 'on the delivery image it was signed for by Suzi and you're the only Suzi in the street' My husband was most miffed.

While we're on the subject of neighbours, the one next door to me sticking a (cheap) flagpole up in his back garden with a Union Jack on it - does anything scream xenaphobic gammon bellend as much as a flagpole in your garden?
It's not even a big house, driveway type, he's in a 3 bedroom terraced house with a garden that's about 6ft Square.

Or on the flipside too much flavouring. I had a bag of salt and vinegar McCoys the other day and they were so vinegary my tongue got all these little lumps on it.

There's just something about erecting a flagpole in your own garden (when you aren't a member of the Royal Family...) that screams self-important idiot to me.4 -
