Things you hate II

Triptonic?

 

Now youre talkin, Ill have a word with my 'man' see if hes got any.

 

Pooing in someone else's house when you're not sure how far the sound travels

 

I look at the street lamps and know if I go past them I am exceeding the speed of light and therefore need to slow down.

 

Being ill-ish.

Enough to feel ill, not enough to get a few days off work.

 

Being ill enough to take days of work but falling ill in a week where I really can't afford to not be at work.

 

People who seem to have weeks off each year for sickness. When I've had 1 day off in 10 years.

 

Minor chest pains?

 

What thanks or recognition have you ever had for that outstanding record?

My previous company used to give you an extra days leave if you had no sick days in 3 months, then the same for the next 3 months etc. If you went unsick for a year you got another day. That's 5 days a year if you had no days sick. It worked so well I'm surprised no other companies seem to do it.

 

A £80 fine for simply forgetting to 'tap in' your oyster due to being in a rush. Slightly harsh.

 

Won't work in the public centre Diamond. Your 5 days will look a bit piddly compared to 3 months off with "stress".

 

Customers services that ask what else they can do for you today when they have not sorted the thing you called them about?

 

People who get the ump on a forum and resort to name calling or saying they are talking "dribble" simply because they don't share the same opinion

 

I would have 'Liked' this post if you didn't talk such dribble about prisons.

 

I thought it was only £20 if you paid straight away? did not know it was that high!

 

London Overground is halved to £40 if paid in 21 days but still the train was there I ran up the stairs. This was at Bushey station which has no barriers. Annoying.

 

Even worse when it's an encore performance with three curtain calls and you know everybody is talking about your absence, but everytime you think you've finished wiping, another wave overcomes you and you have to go again.

 

And then you get a text survey - "Please answere the following four questions about the service you received from us today"

 

When companies say 'sign up to this event for only £10 and recieve a free goody bag (or whatever)' It's not free then is it?

 

Football on bloody Friday nights!!!!!

 

You need a Rolls Royce - they don't have rev counters, merely a power reserve dial to inform you (or the chauffeur) how much more stomp you've left. It rarely flickers.

 

People who have stinking colds coming up to you and asking questions. **** OFF!

 

The fact that 95% of the people in my work (of over 6000 people) finish at 4 on a Friday, including my whole department. Except my ****ing office.

 

**** GP you are.

 

Rich bosses who brag about how hard they work and the terrible strain and pressure they're under, but don't show up until after 11 in the morning, put in an hour and a half before disappearing for two hours "business lunch" and then home in the Range Rover in time for Countdown.

I should think my boss has put in about 10 hours this week total, including a tremendous insulting rant at a colleague who'd been 10 mins late one morning because of traffic problems.

Absolutely no sense of irony these people.

 

Eeerrrrr! Hold on, I don't have a Range Rover?

 

The sound of the Scottish male voice who seems to be the one generally used charity advertisements on TV.

Smarmy, sickly and annoying.

 

Does the same apply to poor bosses or only rich ones?

 

people who, when you are walking down a corridor, suddenly stop right in your way. It's so annoying, especially when you're trying to get somewhere in a hurry.

people who go to the toilet and don't flush the chain. It's just common decency and not only is it disgusting, it makes sure you can't use that toilet

 

the million security questions when you are trying to pay a regular service bill over the phone ... as if some cheeky fraudster would try and pay it for you!

 

The banks security questions of "what did you buy 4 weeks ago at 3:00pm"

 

Don't pay for prostitutes on your debit card

 

And in that 10 hours has created enough revenue for the company to keep those with little ambition in a job
