General things that Annoy you

Another supermarket one. This time, checkout staff who put the freesh meat into plastic bags & keep them seperate until after you've packed everything else. To make things easier for me (and the people behind me) I like to have an order in which I pack things - meat in one bag, large items (milk, bottles, juice cartons, cereal boxes etc) in another & bread, eggs & any other squashable items on top. So what the f*****g point in keeping back some of these items until I've packed everything and then saying "here love, I've kept your fresh meat separate so as not to contaminate your other goods" - they're already in sealed packaging & so is all the other stuff I've bought. Your job, mrs checkout operator, is to scan the items & let me do the packing.

and if one more checkout operator asks me "are you ok packing it yourself" I'll throttle them - I'm 50 years old ffs & been shopping for myself for 30 years - I think I can place an item of shopping in a bag thank you very much - and yes, by the way, I also have plenty of bags if you would just take the time to look !!!!!

I've often wondered what the response would be if I responded, 'no, I'd like you to do it for me'!

Oh well every little helps.

Reading all that shit on the other thread about 'duct' tape - Jeez. And then seeing the boss has put a back to topic message up before I can explain once again for the hard of understanding that it is duck.

I thought they pulled out a young boy scout from under the desk by his ears ala Tiswas, or is that only on bob-a-job week.

Re the death of Charles Manson today.

Why do all these horrible murdering cunts live a long life, i.e Brady, Hindley and no doubt Ian Huntly will live to ripe old age.

Because theres no such thing as God and life is not fair?

Bus drivers. Most miserable people on the planet.

I always make a point of thanking the driver after a bus journey. 99% of the time I either get no response or a grunt!

That's why you should go to the driver and over effusively thank him/her whilst trying to get them to open their door for a handshake.

Or just get off and accept the world is a tough place.

because they spend most of their life in jail & therefore don't get skin cancer from the suns UV rays, or cancer from the polluted air, or obese because prison food is awful & then they spend hour upon hour in the prison gym as they have nothing else to do..............and finally they don't get nagged to death by an irritating wife.

The fact I feel as though I'm having to pull teeth to try and get Feedback from the Interviews I've attended

Dont even care now if I've not got them; just do the decent thing and tell me rather than blanking all my correspondence - I've taken time out of my life to attend, so is the least they should be doing the acknowledge!!

Maybe a career in porn isn’t for you mate.

Cleaner at work lurks outside the toilet cubicle waiting to clean it whilst you're in there, creating the most awkward and pressurised shit of your life.

Absolutely does my head in.

This is a more a “General thing that worries me”, rather than a “General thing that annoys me”. Recently got promoted and managed to escape from the worst boss in the world after 10 long years, so generally been feeling pretty pleased with life recently. However, now into the 4th week of my new job and to be honest I’m starting to feel a bit worried.

Obviously when you start a new job you expect to spend a day or 2 at the beginning pretending that you genuinely are a “highly motivated self-starter”. I’ve got no problem with that at all, and was more than happy to keep up the pretence for the full duration of week 1.

Once you get into week 2 though, it’s surely taken as read that you can start turning up late, leaving early, adding an extra 15 minutes onto your lunch break and reeking of booze and stripper’s perfume when you return to the office. When you’re sat at your desk, it’s basically a case of sending 2 tactical emails a day to various people around the office so that everyone knows you’re still alive and occasionally having a loud argument on the phone with the IT Department so that you can blame them for needing 6 months and 2 buxom new staff members to complete a job that should have taken half an hour on a Monday morning.

Not seeing any sign of this at all so far. I’ve been turning up at 9 in the morning and staying in the office as late as 5.10, sometimes with only a 45 minute lunch break. My new boss seems genuinely keen to get things done and I’ve been achieving during the course of one morning what I would have previously classed as two years’ worth of work, which obviously sets an extremely worrying precedent for the future.

I’m hardly getting any time to spend on the internet, so I’m completely out of touch with the takeover thread and not really contributing anything except the occasional angry tirade on the South Eastern Trains thread.

Genuinely worried about what the future holds.
