One particular senior manager in my place is always rushing to cut out the aldi/lidl coupons in the paper. Really annoys me as he's probably the highest paid in the whole office!

That doesn't make you smart, go fuccccccccck yourself

HensVassal

People who insist on using brand names rather than generic terms for items.

Instead of

"I put on my jeans and trainers, jumped in the car and drove to the pub for a pint"

you get:

"I threw on my Levi's and Nikes, hopped in the Audi and drove to the pub for a Heineken"


Maybe they're just brainwashed.

PS Hoover and Escalator don't count.

Students who borrow a book from the library, photocopy the page with the barcode and then scan the photocopied sheet so it is recorded as 'returned', while they keep the actual book.

Salespeople who are great at their job!

The bad ones are just having a hard time letting go of their remaining humanity.

Uniformed school pupils who noisily have their lunch with drink at the desk they are assigned to by the librarian. Then look at their smartphone. Then get up from their desk and mosey around to chat to their classmates. Then come back to spend about 30% of their occupancy of that desk actually studying. Most are of the snarky male variety.

That is pretty scummy......but why not just scan the original rather than a photocopy?

Sorry, it wasn't clear - to return the book, you place it under a scanner/barcode reader. In these cases, they just hold the sheet with the photocopy of the barcode and the scanner reads it just as if it was the actual book.

But the easily triggered safe space SJW PC brigade ''liberal'' fascists are a big bunch of commie **** in fairness.

Sorry, could they just not hold the book over it and then not return it..;)

Doing that would have meant they wouldn't be able to take it out of the library without the sensor going off, maybe. I'm not sure about it, I just know what they did.

Most library systems use RFID labels stuck onto the book, not barcodes. Does your library actually use barcodes?

That is what they use now when borrowing books. To return them it's a barcode system though (although perhaps RFID is part of it also).

I should have said that this is what w@nker students used to do though - perhaps the RFID system brought an end to it.
