GordonD Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 People who use the term 'jobsworth' when they've not been allowed to do something unreasonable. If somebody says to you "It's more than my job's worth" what they mean is "I don't have the authority to let you do that - if I did I would be subject to disciplinary action that might include dismissal." Hardly petty. And it's all down to Esther fucking Rantzen who had a regular feature on her TV show, with a Jobsworth of the Week award to people saying things like "You can't park your car there - the fire engines might need to get out!" In the case above I agree that four quid is a bit steep for a can of anything but I doubt the guy selling them had set the price and expecting him to go back to his boss three quid light makes you the c**t. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No del boy mentality these jobs are always min wage all the profit goes to management,allowing for waste breakages ect,£2 with 50p in his pocket would be the price he could have made more than he was getting off the boss,jobworth he was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would he explain to his boss that he managed to break cans of gin? On a golf course. Edited July 15, 2018 by welshbairn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-MAN Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 The term .....only in “x”For example, just read an article on the rave corner where folk dance when they walk past on a night out can “..only happen in Glasgow” apparently. Never anything worthwhile though. “No public toilets in city because they were covered in needles, blood and wipes every minute of the day, can only happen in Glasgow” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Posters on here who talk about games like FIFA and Football Manager as if the sport of football is based on them rather than the other way about. They're computer games you stupid c***s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The picture had the comment 'Only in Glasgow' beside it. Ignoring the fact that this could literally happen anywhere, the photo was taken in Dublin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
