GordonD Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 In an attempt to post the pettiest thing ever on this thread... Team photos where the front row have their arms folded at random. It looks untidy. Surely it's not too much for the photographer to get them all to fold their arms the same way, or maybe symmetrically (assuming there's an even number of people)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks untidy. Surely it's not too much for the photographer to get them all to fold their arms the same way, or maybe symmetrically (assuming there's an even number of people)?The amount of photos I’ve got from playing boys club football and the front row is a mess infuriates me. Folk just squatting, folk with the left knee on the ground, folk with the right, arms by sides, behind backs, crossed. Great memories utterly ruined. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainMorton Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 People (women) who walk about the office all day with their winter coat and a scarf on. You’d think they were in the arctic or something, not an office in the south side of Glasgow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I normally only go through them in hospitals, and yes that happens, but not comfortable with calling those responsible "mutants'. I went through one at the Michael Woods Centre in Glenrothes and another at The Olympia Swimming Pool in Dundee. Both people who seemed to have difficulty using these revolving doors were fat with glasses. Both seemed to have difficulty with not getting too close to the glass, which caused the door to stop abruptly. Why are those sensors even there? Let the fat speccy c***s walk into doors. Is c***s preferable to mutants? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been times in my office when some lassies have the coat and scarf on and sometimes even a heater whilst I'm sitting there in a polo shirt with the fan on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Diehard Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 This. There have been times in my office when some lassies have the coat and scarf on and sometimes even a heater whilst I'm sitting there in a polo shirt with the fan on.I used to work in an office where one woman wanted the place at jungle heat whilst another wanted it Arctic. They used to fanny about with the heating when the other was out the room. Eventually one of them reported me to the HR department for not sorting it out in her favour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you get the stare of death when even suggesting that a window gets opened for ten minutes to let some air in. Sometimes I am the first in the office and open the window cos I am an unfit f'cker and end up sweating as I walk up from the bus stop. Sit there for five minutes everything is fine, someone comes in and the window is immediately shut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Reaching further and further into the mainstream...

Dons_1988 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 This. There have been times in my office when some lassies have the coat and scarf on and sometimes even a heater whilst I'm sitting there in a polo shirt with the fan on. More irritating are the ones who crave attention for it. It starts by visibly putting coat and scarf on, then it’s an exclamation of how cold it is, probably repeated about 5 times, then it’s shivering in a way of making sure everyone can see it with a loud ‘brrrrrrrr’, as if anyone actually makes that noise naturally. We fucking get it, you’re cold. ETA - was there not also some lunatic feminist who argued that temperatures in offices were proof of how sexist the workplace was 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEADOWXI Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Pre-order being a thing. Order - I pay for something and it is delivered or made available at the agreed time Pre-order - I pay for something and it is delivered or made available at the agreed time You are not pre-ordering you are ordering. Same as pre-drinks...... You are drinking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 My office is rammed with folk in their late 50s and earlier 60s, most of who have worked here their entire adult life (fuck knows why). And this week, as it's a couple of degrees cooler than it has been, the electric heaters under the desks are out, the jackets are on and the scarves too. I'm sat here in my shirt and tie scared to move in case I pass out with the heat. The air isn't moving at all. Old people are gimps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 In the past two days I’ve had 3 meeting requests sent to me with a closing line of “And if you have to send apologies for not attending, please find a suitable replacement to come to the meeting on your behalf”. How about you learn to organise a fucking meeting at a time which the proper people can attend you useless fannies. And if you can’t, you find somebody else to go because I’m not wasting my time doing that for you. PS I met someone today who now has a double-barrelled surname because they recently got married. A bloke. Why? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
