    I work with a women who can't have her phone on silent. She frequently leaves it on her desk (which is piled high with sh!te) for the whole day while at meetings and her husband constantly calls her and leaves voicemails which beep with text messages. I've switched it off more than once and told her to put the thing on silent but she just won't. :mad: She also leaves half empty coffee cups moulding on the desk. :mad:

    My boss is an idiot.
    I think he's actually legally retarded.
    He constantly gets sayings totally wrong and puts in sayings into conversations where they make no sense........kind of like the whole Ron Burgundy "when in Rome" thing.

    They way they masturbate everywhere. It's a constant battle not to slip all over the place.

    One is a compulsive liar and likes to pretend that he is the boss while genuinely believing that he is the busiest person in history. One is the rudest, noisiest man I've ever met. One hides things.

    The rest are ok. :)

    You wouldn't be too far off to be honest. Maybe we could have a few series shot in our place. I'm sure it'd do quite well! :D

    I work in a restaurant and I find some of the people I work with so lazy as in they ignore the customers when they come in but what really annoys me is when the boss comes in, he praises the lazy ones with what great customer service they have and then starts picking on the ones that actually does the work when boss isn;t around. It so annoys me!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,329 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    - The need to sing random songs and can't actually sing
    - Someone constantly sniffling
    - The mentality that a certain task is beneath them
    - The suck-ups who feel they don't have to do anything, or can pick and choose what they do
    - The supervisors who believe that they are holier than thou!
    - The bosses who pretend to care but couldn't give 2 fooks
    - Colleagues who "fight the system" just to stand out
    - Colleagues who think they know it all and won't admit they're wrong
    - The public

    Etc etc etc

    You don't have to put up with that push back your boss should be managing and if he/she isn't aware of this then its possible he clearly doesn't know this is happening! It'll keep annoying you

    So at my job we use a number of different systems. Everyone had to change their password by yesterday. On girl could not get access to one of the systems all day. So in order to meet service levels/deadlines etc... we had to cover her work. After one of the I.T guys called up to the office, after been unable to solve it over the phone, he discovered she was using caps locks instead of holding the shift key. A fact that everyone knows. Her response?..... oh ya! forgot about that!!!! Shes been there 10+ years :mad:

    The mindless drivel that comes from living in a bubble, arse lickers and those that spout rubbish like future Apprentice candidates.

    Their enthusiasm for working in the place and their general lack of creativity or notable aspects of interest.

    I worked with a guy who really fancied himself as a member of some sort of intelligencia. He took himself real seriously. He was one of these people that if you were talking about a movie he would inevitably say he'd read the book and the film didn't do it justice. He only listened to phantom fm and baulked at the thought of going to copper face jacks. He was actually pretty sound to be fair to him. Maybe it was just a question of the rod being removed from his rear end.
