    When you're 'working from home' for the day and you decide to hang out in your hanging out clothes that you wouldn't wear in public (PJ bottoms, tank, fluffy flipflops), then you discover you're low on milk and you can't survive the day without a mug of tea every couple of hours, and resentfully get dressed to go get some milk and take one last look in the refrigerator to see what else you need and realize you missed the large carton of milk in the door and you didn't have to get dressed at all at all at all.

    10 minutes I'll never have back, wasted. FML

    As a manager if I heard any of my staff say that to a client I would LOSE. MY. SH1T


    TA: people who are so greedy that they lack the foresight that continued custom at a lesser amount is better in the long run than an offended customer paying a little extra one time

    Oh she is beyond rude but soo good at brows so I keep going to her and become a victim of her insults. One time she threw me out the door. Literally grabbed me by my arm and shoved me out!
    It's quite funny really.

    Fcuking Clampers!!

    Car (OH driving it) was clamped today in a car park that she's been using for almost 2 years. she pays via the app every morning for the day, yet today they decided to clamp the car anyway!!

    Only way they'll release the clamp is pay a €120 fine, and you can then appeal the fine. (which takes them 28 days to get back to you...)

    Fcuking Raging!!!!!

    Don't pay it!! If it's a company with 4 letters beginning with N, they WILL NOT refund you after you appeal. This has happened to me so many times. On one occasion I rang them up explained they made a mistake and she said pay it and appeal it. They expect 125 if you don't pay cash. It's an extra 5 to pay with card. I told them to go shyte, and had it cut off with a consaw.

    The next time it happened I rang up, this time I was in my own parking space. Same story, pay and appeal. I learned my lesson. They don't refund an appeal. I said no I wouldn't pay it, they either remove it or I will. She told me call was recorded and I'd be done for criminal damage. Sent the OH out with a sledge and crowbar and he popped the lock, and used their lock to lock the clamp to a pole. They came and took the clamp off the pole

    I've been on my own in a 3 person job since August. Someone left and I inherited their work, which was a slight "promotion", not in money terms but just a bit more variety in my work, as my regular duties are mundane and just the same every single day.
    So anyway, a new person started this week and seems really nervous to the point of incompetence. When she started, she took over the extra work I had been doing and I returned to my boring job. No big deal to me, obviously I'd prefer to be doing the more interesting stuff but I'm not planning on staying in the job forever so I'm not too bothered.
    So I have been training in this new person (I received no training at all when I started) and everytime we go through another task that is part of her duties, she says incredulously "I have to do that as well?!"
    So today I finally concluded explaining the work to her, her duties and the department etc and she said to me "and what will you be doing?" Now, I won't go into detail for privacy reasons but there is a MASSIVE amount of work that I am doing, that I was specifically taken on to do, it could take a year to 18 months for me to complete this work so needless to say, plenty to be getting on with. This new person is well aware of what I am doing and I explained to her again and her response was "is that all?"
    It's like her incompetence and inability to cope with the pressure is leading her to believe she's doing more than me. I'm well settled in the job and know it's MANIA most days but she hasn't copped that yet.

    My TA is that they've taken on someone so incompetent to do the job and I have to train them in and then move on to my own work and observe what an almighty mess this person is making, instead of the employer just leaving me in that position and hiring someone to take over my work.
    Again, I won't go into the details for privacy reasons but because of red tape the person who left has to be replaced, as in, the their position has to be filled by a new person, I can't move sideways, if that makes sense.

    It's just craziness. And I have a feeling this new person isn't going to last so when she leaves, I'll have to clean up the mess left behind.

    I worked on a building site years ago. We parked in the apartment block next to the site. The apartment block was owned by the guy building the new place. We were told we could park during the day and the clampers had been told not to clamp anyone for the duration of the works.

    We came out one day and 35 vehicles had been clamped and we told the guy to take them off. The owner rang the clamping crowd that he'd hired and said we all had to pay £80 and then appeal.

    We, as the steal erectors on site had generators and angle grinders. We had 26 locks cut off before the guy started unlocking the other clamps.

    They told us we'd be done for criminal damage but we never heard another word and 2 days later that clamping companies signs were taken down.

    Fücking **** each and every one of them clamping crowds.

    In the pub earlier and went to the loo.... One of those toilet paper dispensers that you pull through a tiny hole to get it out, a double one, but whoever or whatever happened earlier, there was none to pull out. I mean they were full, could see the toilet paper inside but whatever numpty filled them mustn't have started the feed or whatever you call it... :(
    Had to do the inevitable and make sure it was deadly silent before I half pulled up jeans and ran like a demon to the cubicle next door!
    Oh it wasn't a number 2, but us girls can't just shake n go!

    You shouldn't be parked here, or you haven't paid to park here, so heres a big fúck off locking device on your car to ensure it remains parked where it shouldn't be parked for the foreseeable future..

    TA now she's in a foul mood, wants to start using the train now for work (She's on expenses, so tolls, parking & diesel are all expensed) as she doesn't want to pay that car park shower another penny.
