Friday Rant...

Huggles

Just want to know if this sort of thing bothers anyone else.

Where I work I have a colleague that is what I call a 'Monday Morning Quarterback' by that I mean when the boss is there he is in the thick of the action shouting out suggestions, troubleshooting problems etc. The second the boss goes to meetings or whatever and your man is sat there feet on the desk on the blower to his mates, organising the evenings events... Also he will take 2 hour lunches where possible!

Now please don't think that I am one of these all work and no play types. My work is consistent I don't do anything out of the ordinary it just annoys the sh** out of me that people like that can get away with it.

I'm told that there is 'at least one in every job you have'.

I think what gets me is that I'd be fine if my colleague was a decent person, my colleague is not however a decent person but a t***

Am I going insane? :mad:

Sounds like a jelous rant there Goonman.. but I'm sure showing him your willy will do no harm. Or maybe... just maybe... you could get on with what you have to do and don't be minding anyone else's business :rolleyes: So he's a twat? Leave him be.. I know the type and I can garuantee that he will still be the same person in 20 years time, expect still single. I bet he has changed his name to end with either an 'o' as in Johnno or an 'er' as in Johnner. :rolleyes:

Edit - pay someone else to do the willy flashing.

Sleepy

Welcome to the real world. There're cvnts everywhere...

That's a bit of a problem then.

Ok, the way I see it is that you can continue to let it get to you or just do your best to ignore it and get on with what you do. The more you let it get to you the worse it will feel. You're right when you say "there's always one" so unless you feel strongly enough about it to take some kind of action, be it official or unofficial then you really are better off just letting it slide.

Personally I would recommend leaving it because it's just going to cause you more stress if you try to do something about it and chances are nothing will change anyway.

Nope, its defo not jealousy, we're in different areas. My issue is that he can literally do nothing all day and then stick his nose in my work and that of my team, I guess I am just realising that some people find it ok to be labelled lazy b@$%!£ds! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr1

So come on is there really one in every job, lets see some examples.

LOL no not names and addresses but examples as in 'they rush around with books looking important' or use huge words to sound clever

I think it could be funny if people put examples of the biggest wasters in their job here.

I would be that guy too.. I do about 10% more than the bare minimum and then arse about for the rest of the week. But I don't think I was ever a toolbag about it.. I do however remember guys who were the manager's 'vice captain' per se and they'd do fook all and be on the phone to everyone... but they had to take the ~painful arse~ route to get there, so I suppose it all works out in the end

To answer your question YES YOU ARE GOING INSANE. Pighead finds it quite astonishing that you would take our personal feud onto a popular message board. Whatever happened to ironing your problems out in private?

Yeah so what if i'm being a lazy ninny sometimes, did you ever think that there might be a reason for it? Behind every lazy ninny there's a sad story. You might or might not ever know that sad story. But you can be assured there is one. Pighead might be struggling with the impending death of a parent -- or the death of a romance, or the death of a dream -- and have difficulty rolling out of bed. As it happens i'm not but thats not the point. In future please come to me before you go to random people on the internet.

Pighead is remarkably calm for someone who is going to be cornered in a lavatory and shown a faux willy fashioned out of luncheon meat at some point in the near future.

Pighead should buy a soft bread roll and a tube of mustard in case such an event does ever occur.

Spam can be moulded into an (in)appropriate shape, though it might be a good idea (and fun) to wrap the finished article in a condom made from Billy Roll.

I have never watched a single entire game of 'Rugby for Pussies' in my life but even I know that a 'Monday Morning Quarterback' is someone who analyses the mistakes of others (usually long after the point of said analysis being of any use) and then tries to claim a degree of wisdom based on the shortcomings of others.

It has nothing to do with toadying to the boss or trying to look busy/enthusiastic so please stop using sports terminology you clearly don’t understand just because you think it sounds good.

And yes I do get the irony of this post

I'm that guy in my class in college. I dont go to alot of my classes, and i still passed my exams last semester and there were people who failed despite being there nearly all the time. Its a good place to be!!!
