DA Baracus Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Schoolkids dancing on the road and running in front of cars. Every lunchtime I need to go home I encounter this driving by the schools, how much trouble will I get in for running one over? Ugh I hate this. Wee p***ks thinking they're hard. I'd absolutely love to see them get run over. They wouldn't be acting so hard then. When I walk home I often see two schoolkids (high school, must be at least 5th year I think) throwing and kicking a ball over traffic, getting as close to cars without actually hitting them. Such solid and mental behaviour. They must be extremely hard and cool. Yesterday the ball hit a car and the guy in the car slowed down and looked back, and for a second I hoped he was getting out to kick f**k out of the wee scumbags, but sadly he drove on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 In a previous job we too had the endless parade of envelopes/cards asking for money. The vast majority of the time I simply just refused it (I only put a quid in if it was a friend). Never pretended to put something in, never made an excuse. I didn't ever feel bad about it either. When I left I got £30 from such an envelope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Anyway, I came on to post my own PTTGOYN. Folk who are given painkillers or other medication and are told they shouldn’t drink alcohol whilst taking the tablets, only to then not only do so, but also boast about it, as if it’s something tough and rebellious to do, and not in fact exceptionally stupid. I hope that someone gets seriously ill from doing so, moments after boasting about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that someone gets seriously ill from doing so, moments after boasting about it. Some medication does say DO NOT TAKE ALCOHOL, and fair enough I wouldn't drink. The majority just say 'TRY AND AVOID ALCOHOL', I often try, I often fail and despite the way some folk go on it makes bugger all difference to the effects of the medication or the alcohol for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11thHour Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) I'd been in my current job when my wife had a baby. I received nothing. I really wasn't bothered but what irked me was that at the same time I was expected to contribute to every collection going. On a work theme we regularly receive emails from other teams notifying us about staff movements, leavers, newbies, etc. Yesterday we get an email telling us that a woman who'd only been with the company for a couple of weeks ago was leaving. She received the type of eulogy you'd expect from someone who'd completed 25 years long service. This is the same for my workplace, yesterday an email went out about a guy leaving after 3 years with the company who I had never heard of and there was a giant card and whipround for him. f**k right aff, he's no doubt getting more money in his other job or else why would he leave? Plus I didnt have a clue who he was so he wasnt getting a fiver affy me. Just put up a secondary fence out my back garden for a bit more privacy (finally can get a hot tub and get swinging) but the wee gaps next to the post need cut to size etc and there's still folk peeking in through the wee gaps! Bolt ya shower of nosey rides. Edited July 1, 2015 by 11thHour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11thHour Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 All of mine seem to be gripes about my workplace and I do apologise for that but its just that this place is filled with utter scum. Someone brought cakes in cause it was their birthday and someone ate all but one bite of a yum yum and then put it back in the tray... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clearly don't try at all, because if you tried, it's exceptionally easy to not drink alcohol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Being sober on a night out is a horrendous experience in the majority of cases. If there is a night out planned then staying sober is not 'exceptionally easy.' It really is, unless you have a problem (is that what you're implying? That you're a 'mad' alkie lol!!!!!!!!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 U wot m8? I thought you might be one of those tedious bores who jokes about being an alcoholic and boasts about how much they drink on nights out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Na m8. Good to hear. It's still exceptionally easy to not drink though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Left the car window open when I came back from lunch because it is so warm. It just tipped down with a bouncing off the streets type of rainfall. Only took a minute for me to get to the car and sort it, but the seat was drenched already. Oops 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweaty Morph Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Someone brought cakes in cause it was their birthday and someone ate all but one bite of a yum yum and then put it back in the tray... This kind of shite behaviour goes on in my workplace too, only with jam doughnuts, which someone always brings in and leaves for staff consumption. Without fail, at the end of the day there will be a bite sized piece with jam oozing out of it left in the packet. Not an issue for much longer mind you, my Petty Thing is I found out yesterday my place of work is to close at the end of August. Redundancies ahoy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I highly recommend a few pints after a yellow fever jag, 3 should do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Good to hear. It's still exceptionally easy to not drink though. It's as exceptionally easy to drink as it is to not drink. Left the car window open when I came back from lunch because it is so warm. It just tipped down with a bouncing off the streets type of rainfall. Only took a minute for me to get to the car and sort it, but the seat was drenched already. Oops The key is to only roll down each front window by about 1 or 2 inches, thus allowing a breeze to enter the car and also minimise any potential soakings from tropical storms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Oh another thing about these c***s I work with is that there is forever collections going round for folk leaving and retiring and doing sponsored events etc but when my mate put round a card for me for my wedding they all just signed it and never stuck a penny in. Now I wasnt wanting anything from them as I had no idea about the card but the fact that they put money into other stuff willy nilly and then leave me high and dry is just outty order likes. It must be thats the utter fanny and they're all sound. Go figure. looks like you're the fanny 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I quite admired a guy who worked at our place years ago. Started on the Wednesday, we all got paid on Thursday but he had to do the week in hand so was broke and asked if he could borrow a twenty to get him through. Hard to say no when you've just opened your pay packet, so I handed it over. Turned out he did the same with almost everyone in the building. Never saw him again. He tells me he had a great night 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) On the work thing, and I'm sure I mentioned this before, some auld c**t who had been there for 30+ years (and was a highly distinguished professional) got £90 in a whip-round last year when he retired. Shortly after that, some admin bint got £300 when she moved to another department along the fucking corridor. Two other admin bints, let's call one of them Linda with the pert tits and nice arse, and the other one Bawface, got married this month and achieved nearly a fucking grand between them. I only contributed to Linda for obvious reasons. I felt like she'd earned it. looks like you'll be getting f**k all. As we are taking about work, supplier let me down last week, not for the first time, therefore my suffer. Boss turned round and said why didn't you deal with this before it happened. That's fine, but when his wife that's the program developer it's actually her job to find new suppliers. I'll take on the chin, and screw then in another way later. At least it's sunny Edited July 1, 2015 by SlipperyP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
