    If you're making personal calls in front of people in work then you can hardly give out about them listening

    A woman in work used to make a tonne of personal calls at work, it was as if she waited til she was at work before she made them, doctors appointments, collecting prescriptions, checking on family members, I'd be at my desk baffled as to how she thought that was appropriate

    Depends on the work environment I suppose

    I find a workable compromise is to use my personal cellphone for personal stuff, but do it in the rather well-appointed boardroom with my feet on the table. Something like this fella:

    Person I work with listens to all of my phone conversations... (work and personal related)

    and asks questions... like when you ringing around for something and you hang up
    'did you get sorted?'

    or when your making sure your mothers ok and you hang up you get
    ' is everything ok, if you want to talk i'm here'

    or if your talking to a customer and you hang up
    'oh was that MR XYZ, I dealt with him before - hes lovely'

    yet tells you nothing ever

    Like f'e'c'k off

    A guy I work with inspects everyones lunch, comments about it, or if he doesnt know what it is, will guess what it might be.

    I'll set the scene:
    Boom_Bap is hovering around the George Foreman grill, looking hungry and losing patients that his sandwich is taking it's time, and that I should have pre-heated for longer.
    Lt. Lunch Inspector has visited each table in the lunch area and has compiled his lunch list and commented on preperation techniques and noted the establishments where the lunch items have been purchased. He then makes his way over to grill, inhales and says without fail 'Classic Ham & Cheese'. Smugly walks away thinking he is boss.

    Depends on the fit really. And possibly the material. The soft-laced ones fit as a glove :D

    I would SNAP !!!!!!!!!!!! and I hate it when you walk in after lunch and the questions start:

    'nice lunch?'
    'Whatcha have?'
    'Whereda go?'
    'Oh, you brought in your own?'
    'That smells nice, what is it?'

    or worse looking at you saying 'that looks lovely'

    I dont eat in the office anymore.

    I was about to bustacap.

    Yes it does and I'm talking on my lunch hour and I'm talking on my mobile phone plus if my mother calls me I answer and am not always able to run to a private place. Believe me I dont want them knowing my business

    Ok, wasn't giving out to you :)
    Just saying that if the call is made/answered in front of people they have no choice but to listen/hear- same way you've no choice but to continue the call in their presence. They probably feel awkward not acknowledging it considering it happened in front of them. And I wasn't to know it was on your lunch hour.

    The girl in my job used her mobile too, still deemed it inappropriate as she was there to work not make personal calls. Obviously the same doesn't apply to you as its your lunch hour, you're free to do as you please.

    I make fun of some people's lunches who are like that. Generally it ends with me asking why they are making/eating catfood/dogfood.

    Removing glittery nail varnish, urghhh


    I'm here in a Meteor shop and there's a girl here with a set of shellacs like talons, handy for flicking in and out SIM cards, but jesus she's take chunks out of someone with them, they're like non-retractable razors!

    Still though, nice girl, herself and the young lad talking about angry birds or some ****, I'd hate to see what she could do with those nails if she was an angry bird...

    Don't all women have crack hair? I met some women who were self conscious about crack hair - I was under the impression it's completely natural and every woman has it. I don't expect women to shave crack hair just for me/some bloke. I can imagine the process is long and painful!
    Some people wax and bleach their anus :eek:

    Ah yeah, well most places do

    Just ask them when you book if that includes the bum, (if it doesn't have a breakdown/description of the services on their website or wherever) they won't be phased by you asking like, you're paying them to rip hair off your bits, dignity goes out the window! :D

    That is so. However, I think we can all agree that "The Bleached Anuses" would make a truly excellent name for a rock band.

    Yeah. And I'd reckon putting bleach on it would give you a Red Giant for a while, before collapsing back to a White Dwarf! :pac::pac::pac:

    alright, does this annoy any of you ?

    You catch your OH using your towel
    You are doing the washing and theres skiddys
    Someone leaves a black sock in the machine and now all of your tea towels are grey
    Someone puts the empty milk carton back into the fridge
    You go to the shop, get stuff and come home and realise that you forgot what you went for
    Your mate decides they will have some beers with you at 10.05pm and they don't have their own
    when said friend is still sitting on your couch at 3pm the next day
    when you come back from work at 6pm and they are still there, waiting for their lift home
    when someone says 'sure, giz a ring'....... and they don't answer
    when the person sitting next to you humms, sings and whistles ALL DAY LONG... you have to make small talk to distract them from doing it.

    whoops.... I meant like you take boxers out of the wash basket to throw in the wash pile and theres skiddys, even if there my own skiddys its still ick.

    no skiddys on tea towels (i dont think) still have to hide all the grey ones when either of our mas come over or they will think we are knackers
