Where does the blood run to when you're younger and why don't the young pass out ? Genuine question.PeterGage said:
As you get older, and I know, bending down to tie laces gets difficult if not impossible (blood runs to head and one passes out!). The answer is either slip-ons or Velcro.Bournemouth Addick said:Middle aged men who wear velcro fastenings on their shoes. Just learn to do up laces like a grown up...

The young have less brains, so there's more room for the blood - Raymond Baxter told me that, if you don't know who he is, then you are young!Covered End said:

People who sit in their cars eating their Macdonalds (or other fast food etc), then open the door and throw their rubbish on the floor and drive off, despite there probably being 20 bins with a 30 foot radius.
Makes me soooo... mad, but then littering of any form pees me off massively if I'm honest.9 -

People that moan about ticket prices for away games saying they are too expensive but still go anyway.1

That sounds fair enough to me, most tickets are too expensive but that doesn't mean you can't go.shirty5 said:People that moan about ticket prices for away games saying they are too expensive but still go anyway.

I referenced business speak some pages back. I came across the following profiles on the team page of this company's website.
http://www.tmsdi.com/about-us.php
Each one is more sickening than the one before it, right down to the very end. However, the ones that really got me were
"I like coming up with creative bespoke solutions to meet our clients’ needs, seeing their outcomes and making sure that they work in practice."
"From accreditation through to client support each interaction is as important and valuable to us as the next - I love delivering such a high level of service."
"I take great pride in knowing that when our clients contact us, we’ll take every step to ensure we can meet their individual needs."
Surely all this bollocks goes as standard. You have clients you have to look after them. You cannot tell me you cherish every bloody interaction you have with them, it's not human. Sickening.4 -

Exactly. Doesn't come across as genuine at all. If someone started talking about that in a pub when asked about what their job entailed they would be laughed at.cabbles said:I referenced business speak some pages back. I came across the following profiles on the team page of this company's website.

I sometimes think I'm on the outside of this great big bubble re: how to act and communicate in the business world. I know these people are probably genuinely decent people working hard, but someone, somewhere has told them it'll be a really good idea to spout some generic blurb about how committed to their clients. It goes right down to their IT Manager.....cafctom said:

I wrote my part of my annual appraisal today, it reads almost identical to the above.cabbles said:I referenced business speak some pages back. I came across the following profiles on the team page of this company's website.

Appraisals really, really annoy me. For the life of me I cant see the relevance to the crap job (that really annoys me too) I do. When I questioned the the purpose of of my appraisal, stating its pointless and meaningless, my head of department told me not doing is not an option but just write something and pick a course to go on even an Excel course will do. That annoyed me so I Googled appraisals and copied and pasted a load of pointless guff I found on various sites.0 -

In theory, if people can interact constructively, they are a good idea but too often the employee fears anything said being later used against him or her and the employer uses it as an excuse to slag the staff off.0 -
Been reminded by the other thread.....Comedy songs. What's worse is when someone in the office says "oh have you heard this one it's really funny" to which it gets played and they laugh, a couple of other people sort of laugh and I'm left to do that uncomfortable smile. Don't think I've ever heard a funny one apart from the 3 minute song by that Aussie bloke that wears eyeliner.2

When you like a song because its just catchy or whatever and people have to tell you you don't know anything about music. One Direction for example. I'm allowed to enjoy music without having to respect the artist or appreciate it as a work of art.3
