Pet Peeves IV

[Pretty Boy]

People who tell you a situation is resolved but then go bitching behind your back about it.

I had a disagreement at work with someone today. It all got a bit heated and silly. There was fault on both sides and I was aware I'd been a bit of an ******** (as had the other person tbf). I hate things like that festering and rather than weeks of silences and stupid potshots I'd rather just get things out in the open. I asked him for a word, apologised, said there were no hard feelings on my part and I hoped the same was true of him, said I'd always considered him a good mate at work and hoped that would continue to be the case and said ultimately the mistakes that had been made hadn't led to disaster. He seemed to take it well, we shook hands and that was that. When I left I said bye to him and got a response. These things happen in workplaces.

About an hour later I received an email. He had sent it to another colleague but copied me in (I'm assuming by mistake) basically calling me a d***head, saying he was totally blameless in the whole situation and also embellishing the story of our chat and telling the recipient he gave me 'what for', told me what he really thought of me and left me standing speechless.

Bizarre behaviour, so childish and I just don't get it. I'm still in 2 minds as to whether to reply to the email or to hold on until tomorrow.

Enjoy your day at work tomorrow, should be fun! 😀

Sounds like you done the right thing pulling him for a chat and handling it the correct way, what a wee sweetie wife to then go behind your back, at least you now know who he is and his intentions, let's us know how it pans out.

Reading this gave me a nauseous feeling, reminding me of work. A feeling of dread and emptiness. Thank **** I am retired.

I'm quite looking forward to it tbh.

I'm fairly certain he doesn't know I have seen the email so should be interesting to see how he is first thing.

Aye, if he starts acting like your best buddy tomorrow you should be in for a fun filled day, just let him dig the hole a bit deeper first. 😊

Greenflies, horrible little green ****ers !! The amount of times Ive swallowed a mouthfull of them when cycling along the Innocent railway path 🤮

Any update from Pretty Boy yet… 😁

[ErinGoBraghHFC]

That wee blister on your hand you get when you’ve not played golf in a while and go to the driving range. Annoying.

Also when folk shout on you when you’re doing a *****. I’ve had an aggravating morning.

He brought me in a coffee and has been acting as if nothing has happened.

He either doesn't realise I have seen his email or he is trying to brazen it out.

I think I'm just going to let it go and put it down to someone venting. My conscience is clear on the whole thing.

Save the email as ammunition in case another “situation” arises in the future.

Flies and wasps that get in through tiny openings then can't find their way out through wide open doors and windows but instead keep battering themselves against the closed bits.

I also had a magpie that went into the open greenhouse door then tried to get out through the back wall. I had to catch it and carry it out. It wasn't happy but then neither was I.

Massive disagree on both points but each to their own, think most of his new stuff is outstanding. I’d love a comeback tour but I just hope to god they wouldn’t make any new music, especially after how poor the stone roses new music was 6/7 years ago, rotten.

Selfish adults. Was at the zoo with my daughter today and we went to see the pandas. I get that they are popular, and the space to view them isn’t the biggest particularly when they sleep on one side of it. However the amount of adults that think nothing of trying to elbow their way to the window, often at the expense of kids, was infuriating. I just stood back and let my daughter see them and try and catch a quick look when a space came up. Fortunately she didn’t mind, but I wasn’t impressed how much folk crowded her, she’s only 4, and was properly boxed in.

Yep. Desperate stuff from guys in their 50s trying to be relevant again.

I wouldn’t be as entrenched in my views as I am if they just ****ing well got on with it!

I think if you trim the wick that will help.

Maybe.

A family member used to make them and said you should trim the wicks every so often.

This might be controversial on a hibs message board and being a hibs fan but people that try to turn Proclaimers gigs into a Hibs gig. I’m fine with folk turning up in hibs gear and stuff and the odd “Hibees” chant but when it becomes more than that, it kind of spoils the music. There were two guys in front of me in the queue for the toilet between Admiral Fallow and The Proclaimers who were moaning that it wasn’t just wall to wall Hibs chants from the crowd whilst the support acts were on. You’re there for a music concert, not a football game.

I don’t think anyone will argue with that 👍

I don't think that's in any way controversial. You're spot on.

Tourists annoy me quite a bit, and I know that’s ironic when I myself holiday abroad and I’m someone else’s tourist. However I don’t just stop in the middle of pavements when I’m abroad and I don’t go armed with my 23&Me results claiming to be the nationality of the country I’m visiting. I was in Glasgow today and I can’t wait for September for the end of the swarm of photographers (also annoys me because there’s very little in Glasgow I find worthy of taking a photo of)
