I get so frustrated with the whole charity at work thing. Dress down Friday pay a pound and dress like a tramp. Red Nose day is another. Buy the t-shirt, buy some homemade cake that tastes like ****, buy raffle tickets for a bottle of something that somebody found in the back of a cupboard. Then there are the ones who participate in everything and wonder why their work isn't done. If you want to collect for a charity just ask for a donation and let me get on with my work. Or alternatively put my income tax up to cover the shortfall in the services that charities provide for.Quote:

When every car in the work car park is pointing in the same direction except mine. OK it's not a pet peeve but there's definitely some sort of conspiracy against me. :worried:

It's only a conspiracy if you're in first every morning.Quote:

It's the emails in office bull**** language that p me right off also..
"We know we have soooo many amazing cooks in our team so we've decided to have a Christmas buffet together and everyone can volunteer to bring in some delicious homemade delights!"
Translation
"Business isn't going so well so in order to help pay the CEO's 2 million pay package your Christmas night out is cancelled ."
Christmas always brings out the worst in some people in the office.Quote:

Coincidentally a ‘catered buffet’ is exactly what Mrs Bossy Boots has organised the last 3 years I’ve been there and for umpteen years before that and she ‘reluctantly’ agreed to organise at short notice so as not to ‘let everyone down’.
I went to the pub for a shandy and a pie.
The more people there are the less enjoyable it becomes. When I started my current job 11 years ago there were 5 of us (between 2 companies - Architects & Developers). Even as we gradually grew, Christmas and other dos were informal sessions and always a hoot. Now there are more than 50 of us and the social side has become a right royal plastic pain in the hoop.
Best thing to do at Christmas nights out is to not drink and take lots of videos.
When you go back to work tell everybody your videos are hilarious. This will guarantee you a trouble-free year. :greengrin

Let's be honest, The EEN is an horrendous excuse of a newspaper now.Quote:

Even worse are the facebook ones, your half way through a video and a wee thing pops up saying 'advert will start soon' which means im not going to continue watching said video.Quote:

What infuriates me even more is the fact someone has been paid mega bucks to come up with that crap.

Always ends up a mess, crumpled corners, folded ends different sizes one having a pointed end the other a square one. Wasted enough sellotape to wrap the forth bridge and it still doesn't hold together.
My Mrs gives me my pressie that looks like it has been wrapped by someone with a PhD in present wrapping, whilst my one to her looks like it was done by next doors cat.
Folk who walk through a shop door then stop dead 1 stwp later either causing people to walk into the back of them or blocking everyone from getting through. If you aren't sure where to go then take a few steps and clear the door before stopping.
People leaving lights on unnecessarily. I’ve been off work one day and I’ve spent most of it going round rooms switching lights off in rooms that nobody has been in for ages.
One time last week every light in our house was on and I’m including bedside lamps. 🤬
I hope for your sake you don't live alone :greengrinQuote:
