People who accelarate through Tescos car park at a ridiculous speed on the busiest shopping day of the year just because they can't get a space, it's pishing with rain, it's really busy, they're frustrated at having to do Xmas food shopping and they're plain erseholes.
Could only have been a jambo or a hun by his features.
My work is the same, I've just been handed a Christmas Quiz to make the day more fun and Christmasy, aye great I have the same amount of work to do as usual but 2 less hours to do it in, I will just get my feet up and do your quizQuote:

Despite my post it is quite interesting reading!Quote:

At my old work they appointed 3 "change managers" in January and all resigned by the end of the summer because senior management wouldn't take on the changes they proposed.Quote:

Send them to me. I'll put them to work in hospitality. I'm sure they'll enjoy our busiest 2 weeks of the year.Quote:

Turkey leftovers, don't want to see another piece in my life.
Folk queuing from 2am to be first in the shop for the sales. Whats that all about?? :rolleyes:
The same with folk that drive 20 miles to get petrol 2p/ltr cheaper than their local garage. :crazy:Quote:

I am not talking about the Christmas drinker but the habitual toper who, actually, cannot drink!
They are everywhere in my local bar. Unfortunately there is no alternative out here.
People who live in new builds and moan about more new builds. Was down at the girlfriends parents for Christmas and got speaking to a friend of her dads. '300 new builds going up next year in the village. Schools full, GPs is full, dentist is full. Bus service is poor, roads are a mess. It's a disgrace, too many in the village as it is'.
He moved to the village into a brand new house less than 18 months ago after moving from a city. I don't even fundementally disagree with his point but he's not really in the best position to make it.
Someone tailgating you when you have meals from McDonald's balancing on your passenger seat.
Office air conditioning. It's ******' freezing in my work today and my throat is getting dry and scratchy. But they have to keep it at this setting as "the part of the building that gets the sun gets really warm". That'll be the Exec's offices. So the rest of us have to suffer so 6 or 7 bloated pwicks can be comfortable.
Similarly....Quote:

Your seatbelt warning going off because of the weight of said McDonald's order on the passenger seat! Ping Ping Ping all the way round to the house.Quote:

I'm not the best for cuddling folk at the best of times (immediate family aside) but I hate a colleague cuddling. I'm dead awkward with it!
People who manage to obtain all the utilities quickly in Monopoly.
Pricks
People who buy a house on a golf course and then complain about the odd golf ball landing in the gardenQuote:

The amount of hours shops and supermarkets stay open.
When a supermarket only sells something in a pack of 2 but you only want 1.
The fact that in this current day and age where there is a drive to reduce alcohol consumption you can't buy single cans of beer.Quote:

I have no problem with extra beer :greengrinQuote:

There will be lots of deaths in 2017 as well, folks.
Also, people who use the phrase "that's enough now" when discussing celebrity deaths on Facebook and that. When you consider the issues in an alternative world where having a worldwide population that suddenly becomes immortal (because death has had enough) would present...
I'm sure the Grim Reaper will squeeze in another couple of celebs before the New Year.
(Assuming of course he uses the Gregorian Calendar like everybody else).
They are even adding a 'leap' second to 2016 to help any stragglers. Ain't that thoughtful?
Been looking for a way to put this into words without sounding like a ****, thank you 😂Quote:
