It arrived 2 minutes ago and I'll get to it shortly, give me a fucking chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, tell the world you twat As well as the fact that if they're getting a notification of the message on their wall then they'll also have been notified of the private message. You don't have to tell them you stupid c***s. I deactivated my Facebook a few months back and it is fucking great. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately can’t tell them to f**k off as suggested above as I’d get the sack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I was just bored and playing devil's advocate. The correct thing would to write the email, phone you up and explain that the details would be in an email he's about to send. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s something incredibly urgent (as in drop everything and do this now) then yes. In general it should just be an email and if nothing has happened in a day then ring up to chase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) I hate it when you tell someone you're driving somewhere and they insist on giving you directions that you're unwilling to make the effort to commit to memory because you've got a smartphone or a sat nav like every other civilised human being. Usually this is from MiL's or parents that can't understand why you haven't been anywhere near some backwater village in the middle of fucking no where and you don't know any of the nearby villages therefore making it impossible to give directions. In the 5 minutes you endure someone waffling about roundabouts and streets you've never heard of you could probably have plugged the postcode into google maps 10 times over. Edited March 4, 2019 by Rizzo To add in further deranged ranting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely depends what line of work you're in - but unnecessary phone calls irritate me. Or they 'read' the email, decide too much info and ask you for specific information already covered (guess who deals with ifas and their admin on the daily).Funny enough point out its covered in previous and it's 15 working days to reproduce and they surely find it sharpish.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 On the topic of the SatNav thing; not long ago we were in an unfamiliar town with some friends and trying to find a particular shop. Or at least, they were. I knew exactly where it was because we'd driven past it on the way in and it was about 100 yards away. But no, we had to have Google Maps tell us how to get there. And we were not allowed to deviate from Google Maps' directionS. I was trying to pull the damn phones from their faces saying "Look! It's there! You can see it up ahead." "Well no, it's says we have to go left, then right." "It's...right...THERE!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I had to drive between offices yesterday and the satnav kept telling me to take a half right or a half left. They turned out to be eh, left or right turns. Fucking weird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 And today I bought a Danish pastry which I believed had some kind of filling, be it custard or jam or whatever.Nothing. Just sugar and dough. Why? What's the point? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
