Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

If I’m speaking to another Hearts fan, I’ll use “we”. Or, more likely, “those useless c***s”

I’ll always refer to Morton as “we”, and Scotland too obviously. There are other clubs that I follow but I’d never refer to them as “we”.

We have a rule in the office that folk aren't meant to eat their lunch at their desk but it's rarely enforced and I rarely have an issue with that.  Today, the guy who sits behind me has brought in what I can only imagine is some sort of rotting fish carcass and started eating it. Entire office will now stink of this shit for the rest of the day/week/year. We have a small canteen area where everyone else manages to go and eat with no problems but apparently this guy needs to catch up with the latest BBC sport headline and have massive discussion about it. "I see that's Harry Kane trying to claim that goal at the weekend, be interesting to see how that turns out". I hope your lunch gives you aids, m8.

That AA advert with the little girl singing along to Rolling on the River, except the girl's mouth has been replaced by another mouth (an older child?) because obviously a baby can't sing along to anything. It gets on my nerves because, why not just use an older child who actually could mouth along to the song? Instead of ending up with this creepy mess that looks like a fucking Aphex Twin video (it doesn't really, but it's still stupid).

Surely it's an unwritten rule that if you're eating your lunch at your desk it's something that isn't smelly. Smelly food, go to the canteen.

Maybe he's Scandinavian and it's Lutefisk.

I think the fact the father phones the AA as soon as the engine warning light goes on is just as bad

Getting my new phone today and my wife suggested that she'd pick it up from a pick up point next to her work. Save me having to keep an eye on the DPD updates to run home (I live 5 minutes from home).

So she updated it and it's being delivered to the other side of Aberdeen - currently it's sitting waiting to be picked up and she's just messaged to say that she won't manage to get it as she forgot she's not at the office in the afternoon today.

Gee thanks.

...and the car is on the move again three seconds after the mechanic opens the bonnet. Yeah right how often does that happen?

It's an actual written rule that folk eat everything in the canteen, it even gets pulled up during audits but as the managers don't like sitting with the plebs in the canteen they let others sit at their desks. But you're correct, some common sense can be applied here.

He's Indian and it's definitely a rotting carcass.

If you live 5 minutes from home, you are doing it wrong. Spend the extra 5 minutes and make it to your house, no need to live under a bridge / in a car / cardboard box.

That work emai lthat tells you that your passowrd will expire in 14 days.

It isn't something I need a 14 day countdown for, as I will get an new email counting down each day.

 

When it expiring tomorrow or today tell me, not now.

Has his family settled in Malaysia or somewhere abouts? A student in our halls used to boil up some dried fish his mum sent him and it would stink up the whole corridor. Probably what they used in Syria.

Used to commute from Aberdeenshire to citu centre for 45-60mins each way,

Now an 8min walk across Aberdeen City Centre to work.

The lose of a commute is not a PTTGOYN but a blissful happiness.

I'm not aware of any family from Malaysia, he and his family moved here when he was 2 or 3 I think. But yes, rotting, dried fish sounds about right.

He mentioned the word wife, so 5 minutes from home is too close imo.
