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

One of my sibs has,

a busted toaster and did an online search to find a new one, walked out of several shops bc the prices on the shelves are different to the one online, needing to be talked out of buying the first and more expensive ones he sees as he walks into his fave supermarket, given out all yesterday afternoon/evening.

Washed the brand-new toaster bc one of his kids passed the comment that the toaster smelled strongly of plastic!

No doubt a much-exeragrated version of this tale will be on its way to me shortly.

I can swim, but I haven't learned to swim efficiently.

This seems to be a recent phenomenon… it’s annoying as hell. More people, more cars, more competition for parking but grrrr

People who don't separate their upstairs recycling. Literally everyone I know does it downstairs but pretty much every house I visit has a bathroom bin full of loo roll cores, empty shampoo/conditioner/shower gel bottles etc. Pure laziness.

I’m not a supervisor , just an office drone. I was supervisor in previous roles but stepped down as I didn’t want the stress

My TA is a chap in the office who is determined to “hang” everyone. There was an issue with an internal report. Honestly it’s no big issue, it’s all internal and some parts had to be fixed, all good

The chap hung me out to dry “dear mike in future discuss with your managers the correct options are selected” and cc’ed half the world. Three VP’s and two Senior VP’s??? He could not walk to my desk and talk to me?

I do not even know what this report even is, reporting is his job. My VP emailed him and said the report is his job

I note the chap is working here 15 years and our American website asks people to sign his card. Not one person signed. I ain’t suprised 😒

I went to the shop and some fecker has taken my parking spot outside my house

Australia is used to long spells with no rain. We have experienced a few weeks without rain for the past 2 years so it may become a pattern.

But our gardens and farms have operated on a fairly wet climate until now. I think it’s too soon to dig in irrigation pipes.

A few showers would be welcome for farmers, and vegetable growing. Lawns and the ubiquitous flower meadows will survive.

Sure what else would we talk about!

Imelda May’s poetry

Businesses just seem to have lost the run of themselves….

employee of an electronics company who deal with healthcare products who my old man is dealing with “ yes the product is faulty and you are entitled to a refund or replacement. “

24 hours later his boss on the phone, no apology, “it’s actually just out of warranty ( by a week ) you won’t get a refund or replacement but we’ll try and send it to the manufacturer to repair it and we’ll charge you, it might be roughly the cost of a new unit ”.

call me old fashioned but if that first employee in error, made a commitment in error, then the company might give said employee necessary feedback and in addition stick with the commitment….

Online shops that make you work for it.

Seriously at this stage, websites that keep on "jumping" or make you press return more than once , reloading the page each time you enter data....

First world problems I know....but it shouldn't be that difficult....I'm handing you my money please take it 😂😂

That's just common sense for anyone in an office regardless of age or gender. What's your issue, exactly?
