    The house selling/buying process in this country and the fact that it doesn't penalise time wasters.

    At least i get to ride out Brexit with a smaller mortgage!

    Companies that book interviews in the middle of the afternoon.

    Should either be first thing, lunchtime or after 4.30. Hard to keep it under the radar when you turn up to the office in a suit for the first time in weeks and try to slip out unnoticed at 3.

    Turn up in the usual gear but change into the suit later?
    But what if someone pinches the rubber suit and the gimp mask while he's in the interview?

    Some gobby little shit on fb telling people how feckin easy it is to do agility if the dog is trained, she's a little girl stop trying to upstage her. Ive told him I'll bet him £100 he cant do it with that same trained dog, my guess is he wont answer, but if he does I'll guarantee Valli wont complete the course. ;)

    The apparent pre-requsite to pronounce "99p" or "99" in KFC radio adverts as "naaaaneee naaan".

    And just generally that silly "road man" street talk accent that is common place amongst today's yoof over past decade.

    Future London accent will sound like they've been winded whilst inhaling helium.

    Grating. I blame uber mook Tim Westwood for ushering in such silliness.

    Sorry but I can’t have a bad word said about Tim ‘Big Dog’ Westwood. You know what i’m sayin’ homes?

    Don't ever do any rural driving in France then.

    And now, they've done away with a cashier in the kiosk, so you can't pay cash in most of the petrol stations here, although we've got a brand new one near us and they've got a cash machine that generates a code for the amount you put in

    The work allocation with my current team and the result of it

    No proper organisation Management so we're forced to hunt around for it and ask people if there is anything that needs to be done rather than being allocated it - Email sent round this morning from our Manager to everyone saying they were forced to work until 10pm last night because things havent been done blah blah blah, complaining that there is work to be done and that we should be proactive in asking people if they need help

    This is when first thing yesterday I specifically asked them if there was any work to be done... The response: "Nothing at the moment but there might be later" - Ended up receiving nothing from them yesterday yet for some reason they still had to work till 10pm doing that work!!

    This why I couldn't go back to working for a firm as part of a "team". Some people will do anything to clear themselves.

    "Part of a team". That phrase alone more than annoys me. The corporate nonsense speak.

    1st class carriages on suburban trains. Everyone crammed up by the doors with their faces against the glass while seats sit empty in case a person of more wealth wants to get on

    Toilets with infra red sensors. I just bent down to pick something up, and got a high colonic with added ball polish.
