Things dat Trivyully Annoy You (part whatever) *MOD WARNING IN OP* NEW

"Read receipt" sending wànkers

Opened my car window at lunchtime because it was very stuffy and wanted my car to be airy in the evening.

Cue a shower of rain around 3pm andy carseat got wet.

Drove home with a soggy arse.

Lingo's now on from 5-6pm ;)

I see that , must have rejigged the afternoon lineup

I agree with the middle management assessment, although, according to your post, i am probably very busy in the fellating meetings myself.

You’ll find that a lot of your confusion and frustration boils down to miscommunication, and inept middle managers who simply fail to understand and translate the strategies, and who therefore give you unclear directions. Far too many people in these roles lack the appropriate skills.

Mmyeah maybe but a lot of their “strategies” are bollocks to begin with. For example we’ve a new business unit director who fancies himself a bit of a numbers guy. Wants each salesman to complete a 12 question survey in our CRM software on the habits relating to treatment of a certain disease for every single healthcare professional on each of our patches…could have up to a thousand each..

It was put to him that we literally would not have the slightest clue as to the data he wanted, even the doctors themselves wouldn’t know (and we had been expressly told never to ask them directly). He heard all this and basically said “Just do it okay”.

So now we’re wasting hundreds of man hours (which could be spent doing our actual jobs) inputting completely random, made up nonsense numbers into CRM surveys to build profiles and “personas” for our target clients that have literally no strategic value whatsoever.

I understand their reasoning in the first place but that typical inability of managers to gracefully accept contradiction from their lowers (those actually in the know of the reality of the industry) and listen to us now ends as a massive waste of time that we all resent.

And in the end this moron will present the fruits of our pointless labour to some other clueless bloodsucker up the ladder who’ll think it’s fantastic and yer man will be promoted. Would make you lose the will to live.

Why is it so hard to get flat pillows? Why are all pillows so thick? I can't lie on my back if it's that high, even the distance from my shoulder to my ear isn't enough to make a high pillow comfortable.

Yes, I am typing this in bed...... Uncomfortably.....

The Irish Mirror website, it's totally unfit for purpose. If the giant cookies notification doesn't get you, the pop up videos will. An utter disgrace of a website.

Also, to the person listening to "Dance Monkey" on the bus on speaker - DIE!!!!!

I think Wordle and sites are monitoring my online presence. As I've posted I've haven't been feeling great this last while ( etiquette thread ^^^^^^ ) . Opened the Wor.dle word for today and it was ******..coincidence? I think not 😡

My neighbours sons and daughters (Grown up) come to visit them every day and they do this thing where when they leave one stands in the doorway and the other sits in their car with the window rolled down out on the road.

They then have a conversation for about five or ten minutes before they leave, which consists of one shouting up the driveway at the one standing at the door (general chat, weather etc. not agro) Then they shout bye, see ya etc. like three or four times at each other before they leave.

It's like they want the whole neighbourhood to hear their conversation. It doesn't help that the whole family are loud in general, you know the type where you think that they all might have undiagnosed hearing problems as they are constantly shouting when they talk, even if you are standing right beside them.

Busybodies in the office trying to guilt trip as I won’t join their croissant & pastries & juice rota

Every Friday somebody brings them in. I have never consumed anything or ever asked to be on a list so why would I start now?

I do not want to join but saying once is not enough. I have to say it several times
