If I went to HR evertime someone called out "skippy" and made kangaroo noises, or sang out "hey convict"

I'd never get any work done or got on with life.

It's still ignorant as f*ck, and you shouldn't have to put up with it. If it's "tradie" banter, it's still pig ignorant and you should pull them on it or threaten to knock their teeth in after a certain point.

It annoys as much as when I hear Irish people hoping the "tans" will lose in whatever match is on tv.... :mad:
