    Showing up late to a meeting with a coffee in your hand. Is there anything more disrespectful? :mad:

    I get it sometimes your call before overran or you had back to back meetings and had to walk a zillion corridors to get here, lateness sometimes can’t be avoided

    But to walk in late with a coffee is a big fook you to the meeting organizer imo. You knew the meeting was on but you thought going to the canteen first was more important!

    We're renovating and redecorating at the moment. The stress. Why is is so difficult for some tradesmen to get back to you or call you etc when they say they will. I now have to stress myself even further by chasing them. The ones that are reliable are worth their weight in gold.

    There's a lady in work who does just this. I find it really disrespectful towards the rest of us who made it therr on time.

    Leads me to people who get away with all sorts of sh1te behaviour and everyone just says 'ah sure that's Mary, that's just the way she is ha ha'

    Buskers. But more specifically buskers who use amplifiers.
    Play a damn instrument if you have to but we can all hear you perfectly well without assaulting our ears with an amplifier up high. Nobody really seems to care though!.

    I work in a large organisation. This means that internal services can sometimes be slow, things like getting a file from records. Before you return a file to records, you're supposed to check if the file will be needed by a colleague within the next 6 weeks because it can take that long for the file to get back to records and returned to the area its filed in, possibly offsite. If the file is needed by a colleague, you're supposed to send it to the colleague internally.
    What gets under my fucking skin is people who don't send on files and don't respond to your requests for the file BUT WHEN THEY ARE THE ONES LOOKING FOR A FILE, THEY HAVE THE CHEEK TO BE EXTREMELY RUDE ABOUT IT. FUCK OFF OVER THERE!

    This . On Dun Laoire pier where people go to relax and enjoy peace and quiet sat a busker with a huge amplifier belting out some tripe. You could see people get annoyed as they approached him and a few politely asked him to tone it down .He smirked and carried on so I reported him to DLRCC

    The volume of music at weddings social functions etc is ridiculous. Probably my biggest complaint about weddings. If I ever go looking for live music I'll give them a monetary incentive to keep it down. Wonder would it work though?

    TA at BB's utter lack of initiative, and unwillingness to learn new skills.

    (Jokes aside, and not referring to BB at all, I really hate it at work when someone says "If I don't learn it I won't have to do it", even more so when it's a really small, uncomplicated thing they have to learn!! :mad:)

    I'd love to know. Some pubs are awful for this too especially on Saturday nights. I can't lip read and neither I nor my friends know sign language so I just leave.

    Was having a quiet pint the other evening.

    Jukebox on but normal levels.

    Three "ladies" came in. Sh1te on the jukebox and decibel levels something akin to a jet taking off.

    Beyond annoying!!!

    Don't be too shocked when you get THE call from HR...

    The sound of dry hands rubbing together,

    The sound of someone rubbing kitchen paper between dry hands.

    The feel of dry cotton wool.

    I'm a very sensitive soul this morning!

    That would explain the very sudden and very substantial pay increase you are getting.

    I hit the 'How to buy' button on winRar by accident!

    and yes, I will rub everyone's bellies although I may be blurring the harassment lines.

    You wouldn't want to meet a man near me here. Hes mostly doing manual hands on jobs ( l don't mean that:) ) . When he starts he rolls up his sleeves spits in his hand and rubs his 2 palms together then picks up a shovel hammer or whatever. The spitting in the hand continues after every break.

    My brother and his wife specifically asked the band at their wedding not to play two songs, one of them Pokerface, and they did it anyway. Seems like there's a set way of doing these things...
