Dee Man Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 The missus had bought a load of sweets for my daughter's birthday party the other day - chocolate mini rolls, marshmallows, jelly sweets, fun size chocolate bars, etc (dunno why I felt I had to explain what sweets are, but there you go) - and she got home the other day to find the carrier bag full of said sweets lying open. "Who found the sweets?" "What do you mean found them?" "Who found them? I hid them there so no-one would find them". "Hid them? They're at eye level at the front of the cupboard. It's literally the first thing you see when you open it". "Yes but I put them in that carrier bag so no-one would notice them". "What? You only have to open the bag to see inside" "But no-one usually looks inside carrier bags". "" "Look, I don't want an argument, I just want to know who ate the Marshmallows". She found the Marshmallows in her car boot the next day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the above is a verbatim transcript of Boris Johnson’s pitch to the 1922 Committee to become next PM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Same thing every night. Her: 'How was work?' Me: 'FIne. Busy as usual. You?' Her: *a 30 minute speech about anyone and everyone in her office including the most minute personal details of people I have never, and will never, give even the slightest of fucks about* Me:Simple solution. Stop asking. They’ll ask about your day where you advise then silence. “Not going to ask how my day was?” Will soon follow and a sarcastic, “you’ll tell me anyway” is your answer. “Fine, I won’t bother then” they’ll say, as if that’s some sort of punishment. Sweet, sweet silence for the rest of the evening. Bliss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonHMFC Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 My Mrs does this really annoying thing (breath) when she is talking about work at home, she whispers when she is having a moan about someone. It's like she thinks they will be able to hear her. Anyway it was her birthday yesterday, so I had to be show love and devotion etc etc. I had bought us a trip to New York as we were both keen to go, so I printed the details out, and stuck it inside a candle that she really likes. I gave her the candle, she took the lid off, and proceeded to smell the paper, before putting the lid back on. I just looked at her in utter bemusement, she started saying "I really like it, did I not seem grateful?" to which I replied saying there was a sod off sheet of paper, and why didn't she take it out. "It's just the instructions". 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz FFC Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 My wife has only returned to work for 4 whole shifts after 9 months off maternity leave and the drama has started already. After 2 shifts back she was actively looking for another job after someone said something to her in a not very nice way (she did tell me but I zoned out). Financially it helps when the wife works but I can't stand the utter pish that comes with her working there. I spoke to 2 of the other husband's who's wives work there at a Xmas doo and we were all singing from the same hymn sheet. Does anyone know of any women who like sport, hate drama, like Steaks, hate attention seeking, love animals and hate Tories? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggy1929 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 My Girlfriend recently started a new job and it's a job she's been wanting for a while as she's been doing volunteer work there with a view to a more permanent contract. So when they offered her the job she said yes and has been working there for 3 weeks now and still doesn't know how much she gets paid. She seems to think it's rude to ask and argues with me that people don't ask how much they get paid before starting a job they just get told. If you don't get told at the interview you should ask the second they offer the job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I have a question for you and anyone else who's been in this situation Do you not have multiple televisions? Can you not use catch-up services to watch things you want that the other has no interest in, at more favourable times? Do you need to do everything together?Many years ago I tried to make the case with the wife for a second tv in the bedroom. “No. We spend all day out at work. All that’ll happen is you’ll end up watching sport in one room and I’ll be watching my soaps in the other. We need to have some quality time together in the evening and agree on what we are watching”. Surprisingly, we got divorced in 2010 and I haven’t seen an episode of Coronation St since!

My wifes work had the receptionists all fall out, screaming in the office over who was getting annual leave over summer (they failed to notice that they’d all be able to get 2 weeks off if they worked it out right and instead began deciding who deserved time off during the holidays), this resulted in folk almost coming to blows and one off with ‘work related stress’. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Most people live incredibly boring lives, I genuinely believe the ‘office drama’ pish is just their way of compensating for that without actually confronting how crap their lives are. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. The amount of folk at work who can get so offended/insulted at the slightest thing is embarrassing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 My wife doesn't work but still comes out with the same shite about most people she has regular interaction with. Apparently I'm deliberately dense for not understanding the offensive subtext behind a facial expression that I've not seen, used by someone I don't know know. Even if I had been listening I wouldn't know what she was blethering about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
