Boogie in the Morning. Have to listen to that pish if I get a lift to work from the missus.

Just tragically unfunny and generally irritating.

I like boogie in the morning and find it quite funny. Opinions!

I find it quite funny as well, the music is bloody awful though.

I'll add radio adverts as well there is one on Forth one with for this job opportunities place with an auto-tune voice and it's tragic, also this new one for a car where the kids cheer every time they go on a journey or something, that one really grinds.

Surely that's what should always happen, especially if the work had the potential to interfere with the carriageway?
Don't really want to add to this thread as I'd never stop, but one of my bug bears is contractors stopping traffic willy nilly without the correct authority.

[Pretty Boy]

People in a workplace who always try to show off how busy they are.

I have a very heavy workload at the moment but I go in, prioritise it, deal with it, get my head down and complete it. If I'm struggling to meet a deadline I speak to the person affected direct, quietly, and explain.

The woman opposite spends her time sighing, moaning, telling anyone else who will listen how busy she is, telling customers how busy she is, telling the boss how busy she is and generally doing anything but what it would take to make her less busy which is putting in a shift.

Gets on my nerves especially as she often comments that I must be quiet or asks what I'm doing in a pretty challenging way.

[Onceinawhile]

Type of person that if they stopped moaning about how busy they are would actually get their work done. Can't stand that nonsense. Any overtime is massively publicised as well.

I was on the verge of posting similar today. I work with a complete tosser who is always trying to tell me the extra hours he's putting in and how hard a worker he is. I can also relate to the point about them asking what you're doing in a challenging way.

Linked to this is people - especially who work "in the city" - who seem to think how many hours one works per week as some sort of pissing contest, whereby the one spending more time in the office is somehow a better worker/more important person.

"Oh, I'm just so busy these days, pulled 65 hours last week, worked 6.5 days - just got lots on, you know".

No, you dumb fud, that's not a good thing. If that sort of workload is a) true and b) regular you're being taken for a ride by your employer and even though you may have a healthier pay packet than mine, I neither envy, respect or feel intimidated by the fact you spend just "soooooooooooo long" in the office.

Enjoy that pay packet that you don't have any time to actually spend. I'll be in the lake/river/hiking up a mountain/travelling with my girlfriend whilst you are racking up hours 45 - 60 of the week.

Bellends.

That gets right on my nerves as well. They seem to think that because they're wearing a hi vis jacket they have a right to stop traffic.

Folk who block escalators especially ones going down. Walk you lazy beggar

[Scouse Hibee]

Folk who want to run down escalators at Waverley steps when there's an empty staircase running alongside them.

Should have been done at the weekend, the Sunday would have been the best day, rather than causing traffic mayhem at one of the busiest roads to get out of the Capital.

I've just finished I Hate My Job, It Sucks by Escobar Walker. It's a couple of quid from the kindle store and your description of your colleague sounds pretty similar to one of the characters in the book.

Adverts for Russian dating websites appearing on my ipad at every opportunity.

Tapas bars, or more to the point, Spanish tapas bars in the UK. Charging you £5 per tapas is TOTALLY missing the point.

Vets bills.

Noticed the cat wasn't wanting.to put weight on his front right paw and was limping a bit. Off to the vet, 5 minute consultation, probably slightly less, maybe just a sprain, 3ml of anti inflams and I leave £79 lighter. That's on top of £13 a month insurance and £11 a month vet plan for vacinnes, worming, flea treatment and 6 monthly check ups.

Don't even get me started on the dog.

Is this the first genuine pet peeve on the pet peeves thread?

Blackpool. Place must take in many millions and it's an absolute dump. And you can't go ten yards in the attractions without someone putting you in front of a green screen for a souvenir photo.
