Another one for the forced Christmas fun. I like Christmas, really like it actually, and I also don't mind people having a laugh at my expense or being a bit daft or wearing something stupid for my kids enjoyment but I just can't stand this 'we're having fun, everyone is having fun, it's all so fun, fun, fun'.
I was at a trade show of a buying group my work is in back in October. There was an awards dinner at night. I generally can't stand these 'networking' things anyway especially when they then descend into self congratulatory bull**** but when you factor in the theme for the dinner was Mardi Gras then it becomes unbearable. I looked around the room and of the 2 or 300 people in attendance I struggle to believe a single person was enjoying themselves. Then the head honcho came on stage in rainbow glitter suit, sunglasses and a sequins pork pie hat playing air guitar and you see where the directive for Mardi Gras = fun, fun, fun came from and I found the solitary person who was in their element. It was excruciating. They put on a free bar until midnight but as soon as the main event finished at 10 a couple of the guys from our Irish base and myself ****ed off and paid £7 a pint in the main hotel bar. A bargain when the alternative was free drink but having to endure another couple of hours of that.
People who automatically think because I have some relaxed muscle around my girth I qualify as work Santa, patronising *******s ! 🤬
Thats 10 years in a row Ive done it, no ****ing more !
This is def my last year 🤔
The Christmas lunch day was one of the highlights for most of my working life. Obviously in some jobs there were idiots that you didn't want to have in the same room as you but for the most part they were brilliant.
My peeve nowadays is having to work myself up to eating and drinking far more than I usually do for my day out with the lads, knowing that I'll want to go home straight after our lunch but having to soldier on with a few Buscopan to help along the way.
Anyone else feel that Christmas day closes earlier every year ? In days of yore I always went to the Outlaws and was always up for a good few beers at Porty Legion before tucking into a feast that the lovely ladies had prepared. After that it was music on and a bit of a sing song before being chucked out around 9pm.
The following years chucking out time became earlier and a good signal was when the Mother in Law started cleaning up and switched the immersion on for good measure.
Fast forward to them being deid and us having our own Christmas with our kids but woah it was tiring. They flew the nest and now have their own kids and last year was hectic to say the least and both myself and my Wife were burnt out at 5pm and just ready to chill the **** out.
My old Mother in Law had the right idea, I didnt see it then but I sure as hell see it now 🫨
Spiral staircase, specifically the inside of them, on Saturday I was in a pub with a spiral staircase, was walking down talking to my pals, hadn't even touched a drop yet and forgot that if you are in the inside of a spiral staircase the stairs get smaller the closer you get to the bottom, with about 3 to go I took a full step without looking and took a Jeff Hardy style Swanton Bomb down the stairs, my right leg is currently a colour it shouldn't be
Note to self, pay attention on steps
If it was Jeff Hardy style, surely that makes it more likely you had too much to drink?!?Quote:

Petrol stations that make it hard to pay. Was at a petrol station tacked onto a supermarket. It was self serve only, there wasn’t a building to go in and pay which is fine. However you couldn’t tap your phone, you had to enter a physical card. I’ve no idea the last time I had a physical card on me. Queued for a while to then find this out as there’s no signage telling you this. Had to drive off and find somewhere else to fill up.
It was before we even went for drinks, I'm more liable to **** myself up sober than drunk, it's a curse I live withQuote:

I don’t mind it all to be honest and sometimes you are dammed if you do and dammed if you don’t.
For every office grinch there is one complaining that no one organised anything for Christmas.
I’ve made my peace with it all…put on the Christmas jumper, turn up, smile politely while calmly waiting for it to be over while trying to avoid the small talk as much as possible without looking like I’m avoiding the small as much as possible [emoji1787]
I read that as Spiritual staircase and was expecting a story about dying and going towards the white light. 🤣Quote:

I'd suggested that next Thursday we order in a nice lunch, get some beer and wine and whilst still working we can relax a bit and just enjoy the fruits of our labour. Idea went down quite well until the office fun officer got involved. My email about ordering a pizza or a burger was replied to with a 'remember your Christmas jumpers' then 'oh and why don't we do a secret Santa' then the dreaded 'got some party games planned. Pin the nose on Rudolph anyone? Lol'.
What started as a low key chance to just relax a bit exploded into something nobody asked for. It might be coincidence but half a dozen people who were in have suddenly had meetings come up or remembered appointments they previously couldn't recall.
I'll go. I'll put a face on and do what is expected but frankly the whole thing is ruined for me. Forced fun that no one asked for.
I would either have refused to go or not spent given a penny to them, but that's just me :greengrinQuote:

My daughter and I have a daft Saturday morning tradition. Before her swimming lessons we get a hot chocolate and a coffee, different place every week from Starbucks to independent, and we score it out of 10. Anyway today is McDonalds and the place is dead. Only us and a group of 3 adults, they are at a table together and are literally screaming at each other from less than a foot apart. 'Awrite mate', 'AYE NO BAD' 'READY FOR CHRISTMAS' 'AYE MAN BUT ME AND HER ARE A BIT ON AND OFF' 'THAT'S BRUTAL MAN'. Just shut the **** up.
Flat white was a solid if unspectacular 6/10, hot chocolate a disappointing 5 btw.

Another ferry peeve, why the **** do people switch on their vehicle engines before the ferry has even docked and the doors are still closed?
That's not just ferries, it's everywhere. Get in your car, first thing to do switch the engine on, check your phone, phone some people back, put your seat belt on, etc etc etc., then three or four minutes later drive off. Particularly foul habit in ferries though. :agree:Quote:

Every other week about 6pm I'd get bribed with another can of coke and packet of Brannigans if I didn't tell my mum my dad had another pint and instead backed up the story that we were late home because the bus was early and we just missed it.
Along with Scampi Fries they were a crisp/snack just meant for the pub.

Seem to remember Tudor making some bizarre sweet flavours of crisps in the 70s, both chocolate and banana flavour spring to mind. ��Quote:

Because it's a mandatory insurance, I think it should be regulated, with price caps in place and rules to stop exploitation of good customers. It's an absolute disgrace of an industry and I'm sure the rapid rise in uninsured drivers speaks volumes of how bad it is.Quote:

4 minutes later, the bell rings and it is the parcel that 4 minutes earlier was delayed and wouldn't be coming until the next day.
Opened it and it was smashed to pieces. Opened it on the bed, little shards of glass everywhere. Do they throw the parcels about?
People who seem oblivious as to what is going on around them.
I was waiting to go and see my bairns school Christmas show today. Queue stretched from the doors all the way round the corner and half way up the street. Some woman walks up, tries the door then looks around as if she is stunned there are other people there. Do you think we are all just standing out here in the cold for a laugh?
People who ask if I'm 1st taxi in the rank when there's 3 taxi's in front of me, do they know how queues work?
I'm sure all couriers suffer from rough handling of packages, but I've witnessed first hand the Evri/Hermes couriers that meet up in the Hermiston Gait B&Q car park on an evening and play some kinda tourettes pass the parcel between themselves. The way they throw them about, I'm surprised the majority of deliveries are not just expensive collections of fragments!Quote:

A woman was stood on the pavement and my dog started doing some gentle grrrrs - she can be funny with unexpected people in the dark (never, ever more than a gentle grrrrr. She also doesn’t like people who have been drinking or oddly, men in hats).
Decided to head up the grass verge to head away from them (after apologising and explaining) only to be absolutely banjoed. Arse over tit. Turns out that the person was standing there as they’d let their jet black dog off the leash to find a place for a sneaky poo, and after completing the job ran back to its owner taking me out in the process.
My dog starts barking at all the commotion, my partner peeks through the curtains to see what’s happening, sees me on the ground and I head back home to find her borderline hyperventilating with laughter at my misfortune.
Just went straight to bed. Still grumpy about it.
The wind, I dont mind rain, sleet, snow or frost but this wind has just caused havoc, my ****ing hibs gnome is gnome more after being blown off my tool box in side garden, ****ing travesty as I bought Sir David Gray just after the scottish cup final 🤬
Selfish *****.
On the way home from Cupar and a tree had clearly fallen, as there was a small queue of traffic either side of it - blocking both lanes. Everyone out of their cars to be able to shift it enough to open up even one lane - and before the tree is even back down on the ground two cars (a Mini and a BMW) go sailing past, nearly clipping us moving it.
My partner is now in A&E after something's gone in her shoulder and she can't move her arm. Imagine if everyone had been out helping, may have been different. Long night for us now and that's likely her out of her lifting competitions for a bit too.
****ing raging at how lazy some people can be. Person in the Mini at least had the decency to say "thanks guys", guy in the BMW looked like a right prick.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing but the lead car on either side could have straddled the lane to protect the good Samaritans and prevented those selfish types battering on through.Quote:
