If you're forced into a position where you're being exploited like that, it's very wrong. If you've no choice because of lack of alternatives, that's unfortunate. If you want to do it because it will make you lots of money or it makes you feel important or because you prefer to set up your own business than work for someone else, well that's your choice. But it is not an especially admirable way to live or to treat employees. There's absolutely nothing wrong with working set hours and then devoting the rest of your time to your private life.

Yes, I really don't like this about our society.

Well said, I work in an industry like that. You come in first thing and you see emails sent from people at 11 at night about something unimportant.

First thing I think is, what a loser with no life!!!

People making assumptions.

Might seem a weird thing, surely we all make assumptions?

Way I look at it is that we all form opinions, yes, but I know for me, I try to remember that those opinions may or may not be correct, and that there are many different ways of looking at the same thing.

But when people make an assumption on something, and seem to just conclude that it definitely is true, and that there are no other possibilities.

I don't know if this makes sense, but I see it constantly and it bugs me.

I work in a place where this is very much the norm, people feel pressured into basically living at the office and they all go meekly along with it. I have no part of it - I do a good job and am often praised for my work. When the chips are down and we're working to a deadline, I'll stay until midnight and beyond off my own initiative to get the job done, but on a 'normal' week, I have a life to live and I'll be out of here at a reasonable time.

At a work party I had a colleague comment on the fact that I often leave at 5:30 - 6:00. I laughed in her face.

There's also the fact that if you can't get your job done in the time allotted to you then maybe you're not competent to be doing it.

Yep. I worked in a place managing a big operation where the head of the department kept taking staff away from me. Moved us to a different team, and had my team involved in doing half the work of what the new team was also supposed to do, so I barely had anyone to work on the core business of what I was there to oversee, and this was something that was big and crucial to the organisation.

Problem was the head of department had no real clue about the day to day workings of this operation, and quite how much was involved.

I gave it all I could despite practically not having a team anymore, but despite highlighting the issue, when things started slipping she tried to suggest I wasn't competent. But common sense would surely show that if you take staff away from a core business function, there will be issues... and unfortunately, as much as I wish I was, I'm not Superwoman.

I left, obviously, and there's now several more people working on what I was practically doing alone...

I often think a lot of people just do this to impress others and make themselves look more important. Some of my colleagues do this too and make sure to let everyone know whenever they worked late. Yet they spend a lot of their day chatting etc. I prefer to just get my work done and leave on time.

The Dark Side

The OH has a 6 Aunts and Uncles on her Mother's side and thus a hoard of cousins.

Whenever there's an in-law gathering I have to hang around for hours making small-talk with them.

I'm quite happy to converse on pretty much any subject - current affairs, literature, music, film. politics, sport - but the only thing they talk about are anecdotes about their families or other completely dull topics.
Most of the time I don't know who they're talking about and even if I do the anecdote is invariably boring and without any obvious conversational comeback.

I once spent 15 minutes listening to a guy and his wife discussing what they were going to take out of the freezer to have for dinner that night - that's not an exaggeration by the way, they went through the entire contents of their freezer and discussed the merits of each option in length before eventually deciding on steak!
They tell stories about how Tommy up the road fell off his tractor in the mid-80's as if humour has never transcended this event.
I've never really head them discuss anything that hasn't occurred within a 5 mile radius of where they all live.


There's another gathering coming up in a couple of weeks and I'm dreading it already.

This is true. Some years back in a former job I was given a promotion. I was told by the (horrible) manager that "You won't be able to leave at 5.30 any more."

Ok. My contracted hours were 9.00 to 5.30.

Within a week I had worked out my working day efficiently and happily waltzed out the door at 5.30 every day while my manager scowled and couldn't say anything; the day's work was done!!!

She was often there till 8pm! ha ha

I get debilitating migraines - thankfully not that often. They entail throwing up for most of the night and a pain like an ice pick to the temple.

Last night was one such night. It's over now but I do feel like I've gone a few rounds with Mike Tyson this morning.

What I can't stand is people saying they have a migraine.... while on Social Media complaining about it!!!! If you had a f@@king migraine you wouldn't be able to allow a shred of light anywhere near your eyes, never mind court sympathy online for what is more likely to be a minor headache!

Worked with a boss like that, and many of the others described upthread, the emails sent (for show) at unearthly hours, the look when others came in at normal times, and asking about the weather ... This was to imply she had been there since dawn, so the weather could have completely changed...
Going in at weekends, more emails sent on Sundays...

All complete BS. She was good at her job, but she most certainly was not working the long hours that she talked about constantly.

I'm thinking of switching to the bus tbh. I know that might be a bit extreme but I am not a morning (or an evening) person and I am so tired from all the small talk. I just want to be left alone to listen to my music! How is it that if a luas comes every four minutes, that whether I get on at 07:45 or 08:00 or 08:10 - I still manage to bump into one of three people I am trying to avoid? If I was looking for them I wouldn't be able to find them!

I would hate that too. When I used to bus it to and from work, I just wanted down time, listening to music, texting, gazing out the window, I don't think I could sustain conversation for the duration.

Similarly, people who say they have 'the flu'.

If you had the flu you wouldn't be able to get out of bed. Raising your head from the pillow becomes a herculean task.

I'm feeling real whingey today these are mostly work related!

So here goes

People who just CANNOT use a dishwasher! They throw everything into the sink and feck the dishwasher and leave it for someone else to do.

The fact that I cant have an actual conversation in work without one of the men making sexual references to EVERYTHING I say... It's so boring, unoriginal and unintelligent.

In canteen at lunch, how everyone is leering over my shoulder with their nostrils practically in my food questioning "is that ALL you're eating today?" Cheers... assh0le

Finding that there's no sugar/tea when I get to work

Non work related annoying things:

Going out with friends, "yeah we're going to head to town for 9pm" ............... midnight and we still haven't left.. INFURIATES ME!!

How intrusive people are these days, like when you say you cant make it to some minor, non life changing event and they want to know all the details why you cannot be there? Is there some rule nowadays that I have to divulge all my personal information to people who I wouldn't even consider to be close friends??

When other peoples cats come along and p!ss and poop in my garden, driving my dog mad and meaning I cant let my nephew out to play.. I really want to know who their owners are so they can come over and clean that sh!t up themselves... Honestly have been debating sending out letters to people on the road as it's REALLY getting to me now

She had two sons, grown up, and far away also.
And yes, her social life/ holidays etc - all organised during those long hours she was putting in...
She is retired now, and as far as I know, :rolleyes: the company she worked in, didn't collapse dramatically the day she walked out the door, no doubt on a Sunday

I actually get quiet the opposite frequently in most jobs I've worked, usually a "oh I wish I could eat that" guilt trip, it's usually all in good humour but occasionally I just want to scream "I'm sorry I have high metabolism and/or some super active gland or something that let's me eat a Pizza at 1pm not a bother, I'm sorry", and then just sit back down and be like "phew, well, just had a bit of a mad moment there"

Hypochondriacs - my friend is one and I have zero patience for her. She has a migraine on a daily basis and can be caused by different things like: Dehydration migraine (but she wont drink water) Hunger migraine (she has the worst diet I've ever seen) WEATHER MIGRAINE??? (havent a breeze (:D) what this one is about) Everyday there is some new illness with her, she tries to get out of doing things and creates these mental ailments that I doubt exist just so she doesn't have to do it!

That reminds me of another thing from the one I worked with, making sure she had a day off when something she didn't want to do/ attend, was on, and I would have to fill in, for her. She would say nothing about it until the last minute, then it would become important...for me, to do whatever it was.

I wonder sometimes too, how people coped with shopping when they couldn't ring someone while in the supermarket, to ask the all important question of which brand of toilet paper, or whatever else, to buy .

You just reminded me of something. I was ill last week but still went and did the weekly shopping with Mr Pumpkinseeds. I was feeling all arsey and impatient and he said I should have relaxed at home and let him do it. Loosely interpreted as 'ffs, I wish you'd stayed home and stopped bitching at me about trivial crap':D Without thinking I told him that if he'd gone alone he'd be constantly ringing me to ask what brand of stuff we buy. So, thoughtless bitchiness is my trivial annoyance, also lack of tact.

Larry the Office Loudmouth.

Every conversation, whether over the phone or face-to-face, needs to be bellowed out so the whole office can hear.
Otherwise how would we all know what an important job Larry was doing, and by extension, how important Larry was.

As well as being a loudmouth, Larry loves to laugh. He likes to laugh at nearly everything, especially stuff he says himself, even the stuff that's not funny, which is pretty much all of it.

When you've no other option but to engage in conversation with Larry, you can tell he's not listening to you but waiting for you to stop talking so that he can start again.

Some days when Larry stands beside my desk and carries on a conversation with one of our colleagues, I worry I'll snap and stab Larry in the head with a ballpoint pen.



TL:DR

Fcuk you Larry you annoying loudmouth prick!

Was walking to my kid's creche yesterday and passed a parked car containing a woman. She had a good old stare as I went past. Heading back home the same way and she is still there and this time her window is down and she is actually hanging out and swiveling around to get a good look. So I stopped dead opposite the window and stared and she continues to stare, so I decided to sarcastically wave at her. And she only goes and waves back, all genuine smiles. What the actual?

That's the point where I'd have shut the door in the fcuker's face tbh. That sort of smart-arsed shíte really, really gets me :mad:

I'd always be polite to anyone who calls to the door, sales, charities, JW's, whoever, as long as they're polite, and I'd simply tell them I'm good or whatever, but if they got arsey or smart or smug, or guilt trippy - I just thank them for their time and shut the door.

Why do I thank them for their time after they've behaved like an arse? I don't know, and I'm only realising that now

We have our garden fully fenced with 6ft panel fencing. We live on a terrace and most of the other gardens have kept the original low metal fences. Its never been a problem before today. I could hear one of our dogs barking her head off at the very top of the garden and being a greyhound, she very rarely barks.

I headed up and couldn't see what she could possibly be barking at, until I tilted my head slightly upwards to see a springer spaniel standing on our shed roof!! I haven't a clue how he managed to get up on it. He hopped off when he saw me and headed over into another garden 3 down but he is back now at the other side of the fence barking at my dogs. Haven't a clue who owns him and now I'm all stressed about my dogs and worried for him and where he might have come from as I don't recognise him. Will have to do some investigation. I just hope he isn't new to the neighbourhood and going to be a pest.

Long story short: irresponsible dog owners!
