    People who have their own office but leave the door open and start taking\making phone calls while having their phone on speaker.

    Starts annoying but really quick escalates to "absolutely want to kill him\her (usually it is a him though)"

    I used to answer my phone on speaker, in my office beside my team's location way back. One Friday, in the days before caller ID, I was expecting my missus to arrive at the office as we were heading away for a company junket. The phone rang, I pressed the button for the speaker, and she blurted out 'Hi, I forget my pill so I have go back home to get it, so I'll be another half an hour'.

    I don't answer the phone on speaker anymore.

    Reminds me of the time I was temping and the boss's "friend" called and he kicked it to speakerphone as he was typing.

    Call started with (imagine breathy girlie voice..) "heyyyy, there's my big sexy boy...". I don't think I've ever seen anyone go so red so quickly!!!!!

    30 years old. I still fumble with the correct way to put the card into the card machine. Still unsure which way is the correct way to hold it to tap. And just when I get used to doing it, Circle K have to go and undo all my learning and and have a card machine that was made in upside down opposite land and confuse me even more

    My eyes are stinging from looking at the screen for so long. Reading abduction cases. The world is mad.

    Woke up to a huge leak in my hot press, all my board games that were in there are sopping wet and have now been hanging around the house all day waiting on the plumber. What a waste of a Thursday.

    Got a message off a guy on tinder at roughly 4am saying "hey, how're you".
    I was asleep and was busy all morning in work so hadn't gotten a minute to reply yet today.

    He just messaged me again saying "f*ck you ya b*tch, you're a hoe if you aren't even going to reply".

    I think I might know why he finds himself single :rolleyes:

    TA'd at people who want me to extract some data for them but wont tell me what format they want each field in. I know they will come back at the end when they realise they do actually need specific formats and ask me to change what i have done. I haven't even started the work and already i'm sick of it.

    Bullet dodged. Maybe that could be your screening technique? Leave it 24 hours before replying and that allows enough time to sort the decent men from the absolute twonks.

    Spent the best part of two hours on hold to Eir over four different phone calls and I still havent gotten through. Did the online chat thing who just tell you to ring into the call centre anyway. What makes it worse is Im trying to cancel the account and switch but you cant even get to talk to them to do so. God I hate that company, the good riddance will be sweet when it does happen.

    When the person from the insurance asks how long have you had your full driving licence,
    over ten years says I,
    it's written on the back she says

    It cant be I said because I was driving overseas 5 years before that date, on a full Irish licence,
    It's the only date we can accept, she says.

    Where do you get that sorted out, is it NDLS?
