    Good, when you get fired for being a toxic employee if you're lucky they might let you sleep under it.

    Until you can rise above the level of an acne ridden teenager in the job market then beggars can't be choosers.

    She was smoking while showing me how to use the card board baler. As she was standing right next to me. At one stage she looked like such a knacker with the fag in her mouth, while both hands were occupied.

    This didn't seem very professional of her. I was wondering if I should say "that cigarette is a bit too strong for me" but I didn't want to piss her off. Bloody annoying though. Having thought about it, I seriously doubt she'd done this back when I was new on the job. I've never been that close to a cigarette for so long. Yauk.

    I've got a new job now, and I'd have a good mind to send a letter to her boss about this.

    Name checks out

    But yeah 2nd hand smoke is a pain in the gnads.

    It's the equivalent of someone coming up to you and waving a dirty bedsheet all over you, invading your personal space.

    Do you spend all your time frantically hitting refresh on this site just so you can post about your extraordinary discovery that people re-reg on this site? Might I suggest you find something more intellectually and emotionally satisfying to do with your time? That dude Srameen is quicker off the mark than you as well, so no need for two hall monitors to be on duty all the time.

    It's a matter of integrity sticking with the one account, as opposed to scores of cheapos. Something you know only too well.

    You’d hope so, a baler made of cardboard isn’t going to last too long out in the rain.


    Yeah, I got one of those Nintendo Labo balers for the hay. It was far cheaper than a metal one and lighter too which saved a lot on the old green diesel for the Massey.



    Like the OP's workplace, I have to keep it covered though because of the rain.

    Is your other account going to come along and agree with you?

    Such high minded talk about, of all things, anonymous online accounts. Dear God, nobody cares. But maybe the thought of having a particular reputation online matters to you.

    I do, but if she has to show me again I will tell her. I don't care if I get fired.

    Why would she be showing you again in your new job?:confused:

    You'll probably get fired if they think they have to show you how to do it again.

    Hello.

    Is it not a good thing that she feels free enough with you to smoke in front of you?

    I often smoked in front of my bosses when outside and they didn't care as long as I was working and getting the job done.

    Be fair, it's not a serious OP. Look at the other 2 threads they started and is fairly obvious that they're messing. I feel like Generation Z is being trolled

    OP is this the same mad woman who had the temerity to turn up 'Faith' by George Michael?

    She's like a bloody Terminator, there no stopping her. Turning up radios, smoking outdoors..... I mean, what's next?

    OP is no doubt lactose-intolerant and would balk at this task.

    OP should consider the smoker is perhaps not the brightest bulb on the xmas tree. As such, that job may just be all she has. Leaving for a new position elsewhere and then reporting her to her boss is just a nasty spineless thing to do.
    If you hadn't the balls to say it at the time, don't go crying to her boss when you're miles away in her rear view.. that's snowflake ****! Her behaviour is not aligned with my lifestyle, rather than discussing it, I want her destroyed!!!!

    Maybe go for a nice long walk to clear the lungs? You can listen to the radio then when you come home :)

    So, hold on, this isn't in the garage? Where did this happen? Context my friend, context.

    Im sure the OP wants to distance himself from that.

    Sure only lower class non radio listening smokers would purchase those :p

    Outdoors. I still think it would be common manners to put the bloody thing down while you have to stand next to someone.

    She was carrying the baler as well? I’d be wary about saying anything to her so.
