DA Baracus Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Still on the work throbbers... I generally cant get out of bed in the morning so I always end up in work after 8 oclock, but I work until 6:30pm every night to cover my hours for the week anyway but this doesnt stop all the other guys in my office making wee comments about me struggling to make my hours for the week or saying "good afternoon" when I walk in at 8:45am. They think they're somehow better than me because they all get in at 6:30am and leave at 4pm-ish. I'm doing the exact same, if not more, hours than they are just pushed to the side slightly and they think they're the dugs clackerbag as a result. Love to go on a good chibbing spree in here I tell ye. Oh and the other week there, four of them were putting on their best cockney accents and kidding on they were ordering pints in the UK's oldest pub because one of them had been reading about it. Such original 'banter'. I bet they say it loudly enough so everyone in the office hears. You get c***s like that in everyone office. Crawling, creeping hypocritical fucks. Best thing to do is just utterly blank them. Just don't acknowledge it at all. Then burn down their houses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venti Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) People who say "Good Afternoon"/"Good Evening" when you start a shift should be given one of those new ISIS execution methods. ETA: Also include the people who say "Oh! Must be me who's going on holiday then! Haw haw haw!" Edited June 25, 2015 by Slenderman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Skidmarks Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 There's a old b*****d at my work who, every time he sees me says 'there's the hardest worker in the place' because one time I ignored him when I was typing up a report. f**k off you utter community centre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawling, creeping hypocritical fucks. Best thing to do is just utterly blank them. Just don't acknowledge it at all. Then burn down their houses. I've started this, done it in my last office in Glasgow too with the same mob. Apparently this company is riddled with c***s with horrendous patter.

Must be me who's going on holiday then! Haw haw haw!" The guy who came out with the "6 months to Christmas Eve" patter does this all the time "Blah blah blah but on the plus side its 27 days until I go on holiday, then I'm back for 21 days and off for another 7 ho ho ho". To be fair everyone in the office knows he's an absolute fucktard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Totally with this. The guy sitting next to me says "how are you?" first thing in the morning, I respond. That's fine but then 10mins later he asks the exact same question. I have to put up with this as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayia Napa Daz Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Got this fuckin stupid Sky shield pish right, can't even watch porn or that before about 10 night and it's blocked tinder on my iPhone, having to use 3G to banter this 7.5/10 and it's loading slower than a week in jail. Fucking bollocks man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I bet when you do come in earlier than your usual start time you get met with one or more of the following; "Is it lunchtime already?" "Did you shit the bed or something?" "Did you sleep here last night?". Once I've heard the same shite patter 3 times before I've even got to my desk I'm just about ready to ram my peace box down someone's throat! Folk don't seem to realise that flexi time doesn't just mean starting and finishing earlier than someone working 9 - 5.

Adam Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I think the cringe factor has worn off somewhat that I'm content enough to share a story from yesterday. I had been asked maybe about four weeks ago to apply for a job with a company I used to work for, by a fairly senior person within said company. It was a position which was vaguely similar to what I used to do, although in a totally different sector, but happy enough to get a recommendation and apply. Fast forward to yesterday and the interview. Spent a few hours over the past week preparing for said interview. Walked in yesterday, was told that as I knew the interviewer fairly well it would be a very informal chat, which was great, and I knew that there was only three of us up for the job, so really fancied my chances, to say the least. The next thing the interviewer said was - "Adam, I'm a bit concerned that you wouldn't perhaps be suitable for this role as your degree is in X, whereas this job is in Y." Which obviously threw me a little as I had been asked to apply for the job by none other than the person interviewing me! I felt that I got past that part OK, but then the rest of the panel started talking about businesses and organisations in said sector and what I thought of their business models and if they were sustainable. I genuinely had no idea and must have sat for at least 10 seconds in total silence pondering how to answer without sounding like a brain dead fuckwit. In the end, I basically said that I had no idea. I spent the rest of the time wanting a hole to appear in the room so I could crawl into it to hide, such was my embarrassment. It really annoyed me as not only had I been asked to apply, but it was a role doing statistic analysis, which I could do with my eyes closed, and yet I ended up cringing like f**k throughout the whole interview, desperate to finish so I could get the f**k out of there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Yer man has spoken to you about the post before telling his superiors I reckon. They've preferred another cv and he's been told "no" before you've kicked a baw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerrdavidson95 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Carly Rae Jepsen is utterly bollocks at the best of times, but seeing that Tom Hanks is starring in her video for "I Really Like You" really annoys me. Can't believe he's lowered himself to that level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Carly Rae Jepsen is utterly bollocks at the best of times, but seeing that Tom Hanks is starring in her video for "I Really Like You" really annoys me. Can't believe he's lowered himself to that level. She's a definite 'wid' though. That song's catchy as well tbf. I watched a video about how Tom Hanks came to star in the video. He was out for a meal with his wife and another couple. The guy he was out with said that he was doing a video with Carly Rae Jepson (dunno if he was a director or what) and jokingly suggested Hanks star in it. Hanks was 'tipsy' and jokingly agreed to star. The guy didn't take it as a joke and a few days later brought it up to Hanks. Hanks always meant it as a joke but stood by his word and agreed to do the video. So it's fair play to the guy tbh! (I don't think I've ever written the word Hanks that many times in my life ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albertlegend Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 You can switch sky shield off by going to their website site and logging into your account. Eh a friend told me that anyway, not sure why you need it switched off 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 A quick check of my passport yesterday made me realise, that it expires in 5 months. As I'm travelling outside the EU this weekend, I've now got to go to Glasgow this morning, in order to get a same day express passport. I travel frequently, therefore should have noticed this ages ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
