Hampden Diehard Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 This. There have been times in my office when some lassies have the coat and scarf on and sometimes even a heater whilst I'm sitting there in a polo shirt with the fan on.I used to work in an office where one woman wanted the place at jungle heat whilst another wanted it Arctic. They used to fanny about with the heating when the other was out the room. Eventually one of them reported me to the HR department for not sorting it out in her favour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you get the stare of death when even suggesting that a window gets opened for ten minutes to let some air in. Sometimes I am the first in the office and open the window cos I am an unfit f'cker and end up sweating as I walk up from the bus stop. Sit there for five minutes everything is fine, someone comes in and the window is immediately shut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Reaching further and further into the mainstream... The idea that anyone gives a f**k how Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk run meetings etc. And anyone does give a f**k, they are on my nerves too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More irritating are the ones who crave attention for it. It starts by visibly putting coat and scarf on, then it’s an exclamation of how cold it is, probably repeated about 5 times, then it’s shivering in a way of making sure everyone can see it with a loud ‘brrrrrrrr’, as if anyone actually makes that noise naturally. We fucking get it, you’re cold.

MEADOWXI Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Pre-order being a thing. Order - I pay for something and it is delivered or made available at the agreed time Pre-order - I pay for something and it is delivered or made available at the agreed time You are not pre-ordering you are ordering. Same as pre-drinks...... You are drinking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 My office is rammed with folk in their late 50s and earlier 60s, most of who have worked here their entire adult life (fuck knows why). And this week, as it's a couple of degrees cooler than it has been, the electric heaters under the desks are out, the jackets are on and the scarves too. I'm sat here in my shirt and tie scared to move in case I pass out with the heat. The air isn't moving at all. Old people are gimps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 In the past two days I’ve had 3 meeting requests sent to me with a closing line of “And if you have to send apologies for not attending, please find a suitable replacement to come to the meeting on your behalf”. How about you learn to organise a fucking meeting at a time which the proper people can attend you useless fannies. And if you can’t, you find somebody else to go because I’m not wasting my time doing that for you. PS I met someone today who now has a double-barrelled surname because they recently got married. A bloke. Why? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you can’t, you find somebody else to go because I’m not wasting my time doing that for you. When I was temping I had a boss who sent me in his place to the odd meeting. Nobody knew who I was, so they took me seriously and just talked rubbish and got nothing done as usual. One meeting a really high up guy was running it and found me out fairly quickly, though was kind about it. Scared the shit out of everyone else and it turned out to be an amazingly focused and productive meeting. Send Tony.
