Minor Rant Thread part 5

[Plot10]

To line manager:

If you need to have a "discussion" with my colleague, please have the decency to remove to another room or at least wait until I am officially out of the office before you start.

Please don't, as yesterday, start 5 minutes before my lunch when I had only gone next door to the printer and ended up getting shut out of the office and loitering in the corridor waiting for a suitable moment to interrupt to get my bag and coat.

or as today, starting again when I'm sitting 2 feet away and don't want to draw attention to myself by leaving - save it or take it somewhere else.

To colleague - Yes, she did over-react but if you thought things out beforehand you wouldn't have got up her nose and I really can't be bothered with you vocally over-analyzing the whole thing. I know she's annoying but that's just her, it's not personal even though you're convinced it is.

roll on 5 O'clock

Insurance Brokers. Is it me, or are they all inept!? I WANT, and I actually NEED a Cover Note, or Certificate of Insurance. NOW! How chuffin' difficult is it FFS - you can email it to me FFS. You've had my bl**dy money, now get your finger out of your orifice and send me my bl**dy form - I NEED to tax the chuffin' motor FFS!

I'm sure, if anyone is bored enough to look back, I was ranting about Insurance Brokers last year. Well, this is a different shower of incompetent pillocks.

No, before you ask, I'm not aiming for the hat-trick next year!

Oh yeah, and can you try to be back on time from lunch please - I'd prefer not to have to cut my break short or look like I'm back late myself, ta.

Don't tell me how to do my job. You haven't a clue, so shut it.

My gob is smacked!
I politely asked three ladies,and I use that term loosely, if I could get passed as they were blocking the aisle with their trolleys, and they called me an ignorant b*tch for interrupting their conversation

Marks & Spencer.

Years ago I took out one of their credit cards to buy a new boiler. Since then I've been paying it off, sometimes just the minimum but often whatever over that I could afford per month. Always on time. Last month I didn't get their bill - probably the fault of the PO and yes I could have chased it but given things have been a bit hectic lately I never got round to it and thought I'd just settle up this month. They clearly didn't see it that way and in a very short space of time I have had two letters and five phone calls, the last of which was really quite unpleasant and intimidating.

How much do you think I owed them? £5.26! I really, really hope it cost them more than that in the time and effort it took to hound me!

Football on the BBC.
They couldnt be bothered with the rugby world cup last year but Euro 2012 football is ok.
I not going to pay my tv licence

[Florence Fennel]

The F word also Steve, but for a different reason. I just can't stand it and I don't want a running commentary either - I'm not in the slightest bit interested

Cats bringing in live pressies then losing them in the living room.....then finding them again at midnight meaning I have to get up because of the noise to rescue said pressie.......eat them or leave them alone guys

I had a very similar experience with Amazon credit card (MBNA?). Very unpleasant company to deal with. So I overpaid my last bill, leaving THEM owing ME 25p. They now have to send me a statement every month Stamps alone are what, 60p a time?

My rant: the weather. Truly, awfully, shocking weather, even for E.Anglia, even for a UK "summer". I seriously want to emigrate

[Glutton4...]

Aaaaaah MBNA yes, I remember them. I think I did a similar thing TS!

My rant? Person that emails you, asking you to find time to do a certain something, then, when you go over to do it, find that it has already been done. Pillock!

I know, you're right, I'll miss 'em when their gone...

[GardenFaery]

People who think they can drive as they like cos they have a new/flash car AND be on the mobile ( and not hands free) at the same time - PILLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOKS

The car maketh the driver does not. People have this THING about have to have certain car/image/name of car and what a loads of tripe most car names are - get a life - a car is a car is a car
ANY mechanic will tell you it's the engine that matter and it's upkeep.

Having the 'right' car does NOT make you a considerate driver - Mr stockbroker with your ear glued to the mobile - being a good driver makes you a good driver :PPPPPPPPPP arghghghghghhh LOL;

Computer stuff. I'm not a techy, but I am now very tetchy! I just wish it wasn't all so chuffin' long-winded. AND I HAAAATE admitting defeat!

Touchscreen devices like android phones, tablets and computers.
If you tap a link or icon you expect something to happen and it doesn't. Even after 3 or 4 times.
But get anywhere near an advert and you're off even if you didn't tap it.
Especially on PlayBook. I don't want mature dating or a thai bride thank you!
