A mate of mine can't go for a shyte if there are people around. I don't know how many years he's been working where he is and he's never gone for tom tit on company time.

Not something I enjoy myself but when the big brown bear is at the door it's always best to let him out.

I can't understand why people in work will stand up for ages at the sinks yapping while people are going in and out, pissing and shitting. It's fcuking disgusting - the less time spent in there the better!

Yeah but I knew I was gonna stink out the gaff and whoever was standing outside was going to know it was me once I opened that door.

So, stuff a load of loo roll down first so theres no accidental plop and sit in silence re-reading old texts until they fcuk off so you can go in peace

I hate the chinese burn I get when trying to open a 2 gallon jug of milk, those plastic rings are serious weapons

When you wipe all your counters in the kitchen, think it all looks spick and span, then out of nowhere pops up a runaway crumb.

Socialising/holding AGMs/doing origami/purposeless loitering in gent's restrooms is strictly verboten under the Bloke Code. End of. No more about it.

On a related note, there are three urinals in the upstairs gent's at the office. Most chaps understand this setup, except one loodramawn who always makes a bee-line for the centre one, despite all being free, thus knocking the whole lot out of action for the duration of the Royal Visit (Royal "Wee"?? ). The punishment for this is a firm-but-gentle sneaky shove sending him mickey-first into the cold ceramic in mid-piss, followed by suspension of Bloke card for review by the Ancient Jedi Bloke Council. The hour approacheth for this guy! :mad:

Depends on the job, I used to work in the airport and would skive off and hide on the jax for ages! I had the occasional 20 minute nap just sitting on the lid of the toilet trying to kill time! This was pre smartphone era when "snake" was the most impressive feature on your phone so had little to occupy me.

Also irrelevant as it is i finished my poxy degree this week so i'm slightly less pissed off then usual and feel i may not belong here today!

So you were hiding in the jacks playing with your snake then eh?

...and while we're at it, what does a poxy degree qualify you to do?
emigrate I suppose....well at least you know where the airport is!

That's not so bad. When you're in a cubicle, it's yours. It's the feckers blocking the sinks so other people have to perform acrobatics in order to wash their hands I've got the problem with.

Hand-dryers....noisy and inefficient. I don't see the point in those blades either.
As for those cloth towel roll dispenser things that you pull and they go around? Disgusting, only most people can't reach you'd swear people wiped their holes with them.
Hand paper towels are much more well.....handy.

When you go for lunch with someone and you tell them you'd just like a coffee, you don't want a bun, but they go full on Mrs. Doyle on it (go on, go on, etc), till you have to insist "NO! Jesus!", then go to sit down while they're at the counter.

Down they come -

"I got you a Boston cream, I know you like them"...

Mrs Garth Brooks

If my sister has an early start in work, before the mail comes to the house.

Every time I get a message after the mail man goes "any mail for me".

I know its just a yes or no reply in response. But seriously what the fcuk, can she not wait to find out until she's home from work like every one else.

Its even worse after she's ordered something of the internet.

"Did it come yet"

When I was working and in college myself, I wasn't texting and ringing home about the fcuking mail.

She doesnt get it, that I completely ignore her message. Come home after work and then find out about the post.

She must be still waiting on the 1990 Weetabix Barbie doll that never came.

For something no one has any control over, it drives me up the wall.

"any mail for me"....fcuk off and ask the post man

Another thing that annoys me: People who don't swear. I don't mean every second word has to be "Fúck", just say "shít" once in a while to appear more human!

I don't trust people who don't swear.

Insomnia. I was exhausted last night but as soon as I lay down I was wide awake. I kept thinking I should just get up and read for a bit but convinced myself if I just lay there long enough that I'd fall asleep eventually. I ended up pulling at my pillows half the night and even the cat got tired of it and jumped off the bed.

I struggle with this quite frequently. Sounds silly but usually I get out of bed and do some jumping jacks or push ups! Or if I'm not sharing the bed with my partner I'll rub one out with mini me, that sometimes does the trick but not always!

It is a pain though. Nothing worse than really looking forward to going to bed and sleeping only to find you're lying awake in bed eyes wide open for 3 hours. It's either that or sleep paralysis. Seems to have presided the past few months though. I remember the doctor telling me having a sleep routine/scheduled bedtime really helps. My other GP just prescribed me a heap of feckin sedatives, as if that will solve the problem :rolleyes:

The radio the some halfwit has brought into work which day by day they are chancing their arm by turning up louder and louder.

I may work late tonight and have a terrible accident with a hammer, hacksaw and small explosive compound and said radio.

Don't fret Czechlin, I won't be going anywhere! I was moaning long before i started the course and I'll be moaning long after it I'm what is known as a "lifer" in any place that promotes ranting!

I'm actually back in the office after a week off and so far today, someone else is using MY mug for their tea as they didn't think i was going to be in??? Fucking neck of them! :mad:

Also one of the managers brought cakes/buns or whatever in which was sound but some pig has taken a bite out of one and put it back in the box!!! Seriously??? Who does that!

Coming back from a dash to the shop at lunchtime to get something to eat and finding someone sitting at your desk eating their lunch. GO AWAY!

I know the feeling.
It's horrible trying to get a nights sleep and you spend the night tossing and turning only to be greeted by the suns beaming light coming through your window,And my stomach is always in bits when I get no sleep.

Well I suppose it could be a lot worse. They could be sitting at your desk eating your lunch.

An utter pr1ck does that. Usually the same kind of a pr1ck, who takes your mug. I fcuking hate those pr1cks!!! Yes I know it's a pr1ck overload but let me have it for once...

Also people, who eat fish in the office canteen and stink up the whole room. Or any other really smelly food but the fish is really brutal, cop on ffs :mad:

People who say swearing "is not big and not clever" :rolleyes:

I like to wind them up by pointing out that sh!t and fcuk are in actual fact, the two cleverest words in the english language, which can be used in practically any sentence and can have both positive and negative meanings

trying to match similar socks out of the washing machine - does my head in.

:mad: I am sooo angry just reading that post. It does my bloody head in, I get sooo irrationally angry I just leave the food sitting there uneaten. I couldn't give a rats arse if it's rude or not. If I ate everything that was put in front of me that I DID NOT WANT, I'd be 20 stone in no time.

There was a birthday in the office a few weeks back and they ordered in chocolate cake. One of the girls ordered the cake in and basically forced everyone to eat it, apart from her of course, she was off it for Lent. So, you know, she had a legitimate reason not to eat it. Me being a big pagan/non holy person was just being a kill joy for not having it. She actually said, 'oh go on have a little bit', so I said the same back to her. And she goes to me 'but you don't do lent'. No, I don't but if I say No, I mean fcuking no. I didn't want the fcuking cake, she backed down.

My uncle does the same thing. I have not sugar in my tea since I was 11. I gave it up for a while and then just preferred tea without sugar. Now, I hate tea with sugar, I will not drink it.
Every single time my uncle makes me tea, he puts bucket loads of sugar into it. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. And I am forced to through it out each time. >.< Wrecks my head!!

Try that on a 2hr bus strip to Dublin, and the guy starts talking to you all the way up. I put on the headphones and he still didn't get the hint. My fault tho, i should have just ignored him.

You should always have the earphones on prior to initial engagement (i.e. sitting down) and dont take them off until you get to the destination.

still not as bad as when you are in the middle seat on a trans Atlantic flight

Ah I played a blinder yesterday. Saw not 1 but 2 lads I know who are literally worse than Father Purcell from Father Ted.

Saw the first guy in the queue as entered Burger King and quickly sat down without ordering with my back to him before he had the chance to talk to me. I was delighted i avoided him as his conversation is stellar (ah sarcasm!). Waited for him to leave and got my meal. Longest 5 mins of my life.

Then saw another guy at the back of the bes as I bordered. I darted up stairs. It just annoys me big time having to talk to someone while on a train or bus, usually always happens when Ive a new podcast to listen to or a new album Im dying to hear.

Not yesterday tho. Beakerjoe 1 Life 200263
