Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

In all fairness, that's quite common isn't it? Most workplaces have their Christmas parties (or at least the booking for the meal) sorted months in advance.

My old work used to have the Xmas night out on the Friday, then book for the following year on the Monday after.

This was normally a good indicator of general arseholery - only once in 6 years did the organiser get a warning that similar behaviour next year may see us barred.

This. It all ties in with the wanky weather talk so many folk love to bleat about, throwing out pish they are conditioned to think.

An underwhelming wee bang followed by disappointment.

Christmas crackers.

What are you genuinely hoping for? A fucking Rolex? Take your miniature screwdriver set, read the shitey joke and be on your way.

There's one guy I hang about with quite a bit of late and he does something really annoying in that he makes an approving sigh noise when I'm mid sentence, like as if to say he understands what I have said before I have even said it.

Does he only do it when you're discussing alternative uses for hosiery?

You should just stop talking when it happens and see what he does. Although, that might be part of his cunning plan  :unsure:

Mmm.

Uhuh.

Hmmph.

God, what a c**t. That must be annoying. Can't stand those p***ks.

Girlfriend phones me up wanting my help, so I try and get her to explain what she wants. Meanwhile she's laughing and joking with her mates and not paying attention so much that she doesn't answer me asking questions and then gets upset that I got pissed off.

So in summary, woman.

Think I've posted this before, I'll use this as an excuse:

When the presenters say "it'll be a beautiful day across the whole country".

Right, stop. Telling me it's going to be a "Beautiful day" is not presenting the weather, it is presenting your opinion of the weather that you have not yet given me. You sit about and present two two-minute slots per hour for a relatively short shift (rest of the time spent taking selfies in-between for your Twitter account and redoing your hair at the licence payer's expense). Empty opinions from someone who doesn't actually model the weather* are wasted time in a tight slot. Therefore if the quality is not in the form of exceptional eye-candy (which away from Reporting Scotland it is not) then I expect top notch, technical and to the point weather reporting. I want to know where it's wet, why it's wet and where the wetness is coming from / going, not simply "it'll be a miserable few days ahead". The receptionist at work will let me know that soon enough.

*except that Helen Willets who is actually a meteorologist (and sits in the 'cute MILF next door' category).

Why not just hang up?
