People who don't pick up their dogs shit. Esp on footpaths. Twice in the last week I've stood in excrement. Both times on the way to a nice dinner!

Hearing Snoopy's Christmas for the first time this year (I know eventually it'll grate my nerves, but it really IS Christmas when you hear that for the first time in the festive season). 

 

 

Snoopy's ****ing Christmas!!!!!

 

 

I've managed to avoid it so far. I hate that bloody song!

Behodar:

 

Why do computer users lie so often? "I clicked on Save and nothing happened", followed in the very next sentence by "I loaded the file and it all came up correctly". So when you say "nothing happened", what you actually mean is that it saved successfully?

 

 

Yes, or when you ask them if they shutdown & restarted (IT Crowd!), yes I did that....when you know full well they did not. 

 

And the exaggerated "My computer has completely crashed", meaning they couldn't get into Facebook or something.

When a customer starts the day asking for something, is incredibly nice and knows that you are busy on a million other things, but "appreciates that you're making an effort to treat this as a priority", then gets to the latter stages of the day and starts sending multiple emails copying in more and more people, in an effort to deflect from the fact that the reason this matter is urgent is because they bolloxed up the original request months ago.

I got a three-paragraph email the other day, telling me how important the project I was working on is, and how it needed to be completed by a certain date. This was after I had already told the person that it was my top priority. I don't know what she expected the email to accomplish.

How did you tell her? In written format? Because she is covering her ass in writing, so if that if the deadline doesn't get met....

That annoys the crap out of me! Lately I've managed to step on the dog shite a few times. Lazy useless dog owners. And then there are the ones that bag it and leave it behind! Why bag it if you are just going to drop it? Bag will outlast the contents inside!

Yep, written. In fact, in the same email trail as "I still need to know X, Y and Z so I can finish this". "Z" finally came in ~3.5 hours before the due date.

You're nicer than I would have been.  That would have been a lesson in consequences of (in)actions unless there were particularly extenuating circumstances.

Social media, Did anyone read about that woman who thought she was by herself on the beach and was arrested for indecent behaviour, she was ridiculed on Social media and just months later she took her own life. 





Common sense is not as common as you think.

That when you buy almost anything these days, that you are continually nagged to do a review!

Was thinking that just yesterday after buying a carton lot of toilet paper and they asked for a review...

Suggestions welcome.

You win! That is the last thing I'd expect a review request for!

 

Can you include pictures before you flush? That way we can honestly see what it (the toilet paper) had to deal with! 🙃

Your toilet paper is like the kiss of a lotus flower on my arse. My sphincter gasps in delight at its touch and moans with pleasure for more!
