ARE YOU A PAIN IN THE HOLE / INTOLERABLE to somebody anybody else?

To anyone else, of any stature or age but not yourself?
Do you enjoy being this way to them.

Do you deserve their company / audience.
Should they put up and shut up for you like Boris?

I hope so

I would say some think I am a pain in the butt,due to not having a filter. I call things as I see them, which tends to shock some folk, but least I'd never lie to you,heh.

Ha ha. I am to my flat mates. I’m a bit of a dirty trooger as they say. Ha ha. Alright.

Everyone is intolerable to someone, it'd be a bland world if we were all similar. Be yourself and to hell with anyone who doesn't like you.

Whenever I get a chance passing any public service places I go in asking for directions then pick the laziest looking person and say something in a funny manner like

Look at this fella, flat out. They aren’t paying him enough.

Once I went in and was left waiting and noticed in the background there was a group of desks and a middle aged woman was just sitting at her desk crying.
Nobody was paying any attention to her. I asked another girl was she ok and she said the lady in question was always like that but she’s there years and I wasn’t to worry.

Didn’t joke about her but mad the tax money pays her to come in and cry at her desk.

It’s the girth that would have caused the problem, historically speaking.

Intolerable is a stretch but you’d have to go very slow and take things very easy.

I used to clear wrap toilets seats and the laugh when people came out of the stalls soaking. Another thing was to fold ketchup packets in half and place under the toilet seat. They were burst when someone sat on the seat. I confess now I deserved every whipping my mother gave me,heh.

There are some hardcore feminists at work who absolutely despise me

But I'm trying my hardest to get them to like me. When one of my female coworkers can't open something I usually jump to their aid and say "Do you need a man to open that for you??"

Work with hardcore feminists?
I’d rather work with portaloos.

Even to make this up sounds demented!:pac:

I’m a complete pain in the hole to my team leader who is a complete narcissist. I just walk away when he starts talking about the triathlon he did at the weekend or how well he played in the hurling match and how great his kids are at everything. Of course there’s 1 or 2 that lap up his stories cos they’re born lickholes but it drives him mad when he doesn’t have 100% attention. He’s a tos*er.

I do what I can to make my team leader perform. It’s a dog eat dog world out there where the laws of the jungle answer the questions.

I need my team firing and feeling good to ensure the employment of my team for another quater. My team survives and their families eat. If my team had a snot nosed punk in it risking our share of the market he wouldn’t last one lunch break.

You are very lucky to be in an industry where you can go around acting the hard man thinking you are bigger than the team. My guess is it’s in the public sector.

I'd be disappointed if I wasn't tbh

That’s a lot of people.

One of my colleagues absolutely hates me. He's constantly bitching about me behind my back. He's still pissed off I got a promotion his wife went for. She's fine about it but he's always slagging me and another member of my team off.

I work with a guy who says sorry all the time. It is a verbal crutch for him to an extent but it drives me up the way. You explain what to do and write an email explaining it again and highlight the parts often missed. He goes to do it and inevitably does it wrong missing everything highlighted.
Go over and ask why he didn't follow the instructions and the reply is "sorry,sorry, sorry,sorry,sorry,sorry" some vague explanation that he was rushed followed by "sorry,sorry, sorry,sorry,sorry,sorry". Explain no need to say sorry just go back fix the problem and take his time following the instructions. Next time he does it the same thing happens again with all the sorries repeated again.
After the 5th or 6th time of this I just can't take it anymore and I get to the point where I say I don't want to hear sorry just fix it and don't ever do it again. That is when he stops getting it wrong.
Every few months this comes up. Had a meeting with him once to try and clear it up. I marked down every sorry he said in the 20 minute meeting and it came to 80. Showed him the count and suggested he start saying "I apologise" instead to get out of the habit. Not a nice way to do it but I just couldn't take it anymore.

tbh that post makes you sound like the pain in the hole, not him.

*edit* Just realised that is the point of the thread

Probably. I act thick sometimes (a real struggle because I'm extremely intelligent, actually) to annoy people. You know, deliberately misspelling or mispronunciating a word, placing emphasis on the wrong syllable, etc. And if they're really pedantic and take the bate, I'll drag them down to my level by arguing that their the one's who are mistaken.

JohnnyFlash · 12-09-2019 4:07pm

No, I’m an extremely popular guy and don’t run people up the wrong way. And if I do then that’s their problem

Greyfox · 12-09-2019 4:17pm

No, to be successful in life you need to have some people who don't like you but I'm nice to everyone and pretty much get on well with everybody and can't seem to change therefor I will never be very successful is anything

Handy when you bring your chips to the jacks.

My five year old daughter has every move of me, everything she says, every look she gives, it's me. I never realised what an insufferable ar$ehole I was until I was confronted with myself in all her 5 year old diva glory :pac:
