A mate of mine can't go for a shyte if there are people around. I don't know how many years he's been working where he is and he's never gone for tom tit on company time.

Not something I enjoy myself but when the big brown bear is at the door it's always best to let him out.

I can't understand why people in work will stand up for ages at the sinks yapping while people are going in and out, pissing and shitting. It's fcuking disgusting - the less time spent in there the better!

Yeah but I knew I was gonna stink out the gaff and whoever was standing outside was going to know it was me once I opened that door.

So, stuff a load of loo roll down first so theres no accidental plop and sit in silence re-reading old texts until they fcuk off so you can go in peace

I hate the chinese burn I get when trying to open a 2 gallon jug of milk, those plastic rings are serious weapons

When you wipe all your counters in the kitchen, think it all looks spick and span, then out of nowhere pops up a runaway crumb.

Socialising/holding AGMs/doing origami/purposeless loitering in gent's restrooms is strictly verboten under the Bloke Code. End of. No more about it.

On a related note, there are three urinals in the upstairs gent's at the office. Most chaps understand this setup, except one loodramawn who always makes a bee-line for the centre one, despite all being free, thus knocking the whole lot out of action for the duration of the Royal Visit (Royal "Wee"??

). The punishment for this is a firm-but-gentle sneaky shove sending him mickey-first into the cold ceramic in mid-piss, followed by suspension of Bloke card for review by the Ancient Jedi Bloke Council. The hour approacheth for this guy! :mad:

Depends on the job, I used to work in the airport and would skive off and hide on the jax for ages! I had the occasional 20 minute nap just sitting on the lid of the toilet trying to kill time! This was pre smartphone era when "snake" was the most impressive feature on your phone so had little to occupy me.

Also irrelevant as it is i finished my poxy degree this week so i'm slightly less pissed off then usual and feel i may not belong here today!

So you were hiding in the jacks playing with your snake then eh?

...and while we're at it, what does a poxy degree qualify you to do?
emigrate I suppose....well at least you know where the airport is!

That's not so bad. When you're in a cubicle, it's yours. It's the feckers blocking the sinks so other people have to perform acrobatics in order to wash their hands I've got the problem with.

People on buses invading my air by sitting directly in front or behind me despite there being an abundance of other seats!

Hand-dryers....noisy and inefficient. I don't see the point in those blades either.
As for those cloth towel roll dispenser things that you pull and they go around? Disgusting, only most people can't reach you'd swear people wiped their holes with them.
Hand paper towels are much more well.....handy.

You complain about this!? Phew, this is nothing! It's the ones that sit right BESIDE me even though there are plenty of free seats available that annoy me to no end!:mad:

People who are their own worst enemy -

"I can't do this, I can't do that, because, because, be..."

Just piss off! :mad:

When you go for lunch with someone and you tell them you'd just like a coffee, you don't want a bun, but they go full on Mrs. Doyle on it (go on, go on, etc), till you have to insist "NO! Jesus!", then go to sit down while they're at the counter.

Down they come -

"I got you a Boston cream, I know you like them"...

I mean... *speechless*

"sure everyone loves cakes, go on"
"No, I cant, the doctor said I will die if I ever eat a another cake"
"Sure just have a bite then. Doctors, what do they know, I saw the doctor eating crisps the other day, and he doesn't even go to mass"

If my sister has an early start in work, before the mail comes to the house.

Every time I get a message after the mail man goes "any mail for me".

I know its just a yes or no reply in response. But seriously what the fcuk, can she not wait to find out until she's home from work like every one else.

Its even worse after she's ordered something of the internet.

"Did it come yet"

When I was working and in college myself, I wasn't texting and ringing home about the fcuking mail.

She doesnt get it, that I completely ignore her message. Come home after work and then find out about the post.

She must be still waiting on the 1990 Weetabix Barbie doll that never came.

For something no one has any control over, it drives me up the wall.

"any mail for me"....fcuk off and ask the post man

It's OK. I am a sweary bitch.

Another thing that annoys me: People who don't swear. I don't mean every second word has to be "Fúck", just say "shít" once in a while to appear more human!

I don't trust people who don't swear.

Insomnia. I was exhausted last night but as soon as I lay down I was wide awake. I kept thinking I should just get up and read for a bit but convinced myself if I just lay there long enough that I'd fall asleep eventually. I ended up pulling at my pillows half the night and even the cat got tired of it and jumped off the bed.

I struggle with this quite frequently. Sounds silly but usually I get out of bed and do some jumping jacks or push ups! Or if I'm not sharing the bed with my partner I'll rub one out with mini me, that sometimes does the trick but not always!

It is a pain though. Nothing worse than really looking forward to going to bed and sleeping only to find you're lying awake in bed eyes wide open for 3 hours. It's either that or sleep paralysis. Seems to have presided the past few months though. I remember the doctor telling me having a sleep routine/scheduled bedtime really helps. My other GP just prescribed me a heap of feckin sedatives, as if that will solve the problem :rolleyes:

The radio the some halfwit has brought into work which day by day they are chancing their arm by turning up louder and louder.

I may work late tonight and have a terrible accident with a hammer, hacksaw and small explosive compound and said radio.

Don't fret Czechlin, I won't be going anywhere! I was moaning long before i started the course and I'll be moaning long after it

I'm what is known as a "lifer" in any place that promotes ranting!

I'm actually back in the office after a week off and so far today, someone else is using MY mug for their tea as they didn't think i was going to be in??? Fucking neck of them! :mad:

Also one of the managers brought cakes/buns or whatever in which was sound but some pig has taken a bite out of one and put it back in the box!!! Seriously??? Who does that!

Coming back from a dash to the shop at lunchtime to get something to eat and finding someone sitting at your desk eating their lunch. GO AWAY!

I know the feeling.
It's horrible trying to get a nights sleep and you spend the night tossing and turning only to be greeted by the suns beaming light coming through your window,And my stomach is always in bits when I get no sleep.
