minor things that make you fume

[Baines' left foot]

Them types of people always know the ones to pick on.

Would love for them to one day get a surprise and the quiet fella smashes them in the face.

Aye, he was fairly short too according to my dad. Small man syndrome. I reckon he could have taken him down but he's not like that. Fighting is for mugs anyway.

Wow. You really are upset, a double whammy, a duel and pistols !

On a serious note. If you report it to the Police, the community Officer or P.C.S.O. may go and look at the security tape and lock the fella up for threatening serious violence ?

I'd imagine he can't be bothered with all that. I'll tell my dad to take a note of his registration if he ever sees him again and I'll try and track him down and egg his house or something.

Automated switchboard's that give you 10 useless options, before stating 'or press 1 to speak to an operator'

Why the **** don't they give you this option to begin with.

You may hate them, but following the number options will ultimately see you to a resolution far quicker than speaking to the operator. They'll only do the same routing as the numbers, only slower.

Drove up to visit to me mum at the weekend. After a few hours, walked to my car and realised I hadn't locked it. Both front doors were slightly open, and when I got in the car I noticed all my job sheets, receipts and other stuff, strewn all over the front seats. Some scrote had got in, ignored my tools, walking boots, berghaus coat and Barbour umbrella, and went straight for the cash.
This master criminal got away with the princely sum of 40p. I had two twenty pence pieces what I dropped in the drink holder.

looks like i am stuck in work all day sitting on a table with said collegue that we had a blow up over last week. Other two are off, so day of literally not speaking to anyone for 9 hours will ensue.

Just flick little bits of paper at him all day when he's not looking. That'll liven things up and eventually lead to a fight, which will liven things up for everyone else ?

I would love another chance to go at it with him tbh, but i am being very restrained tbh because, well, i don't want to lose my job haha

That is what i said when i spoke to the assistant manager, said what else am i meant to do apart from lose my temper?

You were very lucky there mate, it was obviously a kid.

If that was in Birkenhead, there'd be some Lonsdale clad Smackrat walking round dressed like a country gent carrying a tool box !

Ps - you won't do that again

A mate, many years ago, went out to his car one morning and found someone had projectile vomited all over his back seat! He never left his car unlocked after that!

It was the precision of the whole thing. He's moved round to both sides of the car and gently closed the doors over. Love to have caught him. I'd have shut the doors alright, about 30 times with his swede in it.

There's some absolute loons out there. Mate of mine had a old MG. pile of junk but his first car and pride and joy. Bought a stereo for it and took his new bird out to the pictures.
Got back to the car and there's a security guard waving at him. Some smackrat had tried to nick his stereo, got it part way out but not all the way. Instead of leaving it there, he left the car, walked over to a verge, uprooted a newly planted tree, and stuck it straight through his back window...it's a lovely old world.

Sickening. I've had speakers nicked from my old Nova. They were fixed into the parcel shelf, so they took the whole parcel shelf. Sometimes its just down to pure jealousy, you having something they don't.

When somebody treats you like a idiot in work and you can no longer hold back, so you unleash some sort of rant like Rhod Gilbert talking about TOG duvets.

You always get the one tool saying 'you can say that in work' as though its okay for some stuck up corporate dong muncher to treat you like crap, yet you cant stand up for yourself because being a equal human being does not take superiority over pay packets.

Come to think of it I don't think its a minor issue, if we all treated each other with compassion and respect then the world would be a much better place.

Agree.

I have been warned about emails i have sent in the past as they were to people who get paid more than me. Little bit fustrating but tbh over the last year i haven't been as arsed and tend to fall more back into submissive employee who just does as he is told. Seems to make everyone happy at least.

I've been extremely lucky in that I've only ever worked for tiny companies. My first job had an office with about 5 people in it, the office politics were mind blowing. I've never seen such a gang of creeping, backstabbing weirdos.
