People who, when a question is asked of the whole firm, feel they need to "reply all" their answer, when it clearly isn't necessary. Like anyone else gives a stuff what you think. Always the same sort of pompous twerp, or old codger who has barely mastered email
People used to send out a firm wide email at my old place using the term "Sorry for the blanket email but.." usually followed by how that disorganised Wally had misplaced his water bottle or lost their notebook or some other such drivel.
I once sent a passive aggressive retort "Sorry for the blanket email..." and literally just pasted a load of pictures of blankets and nothing else. Gave me an erection at the time.
I got one today because some bell end has lost his charger but it was accusing someone of nicking it rather than asking if anyone had seen it
Did you manage to put it back without him noticing?
Nah fuck him, he’ll never be able to prove it’s his
Inbreds that throw Fried Chicken boxes on the pavement with half eaten bones still in it that my Dog always manages to find.
There's a motorway junction about 7 / 8 km from us and the amount of McDonalds rubbish thrown from cars in the middle of the countryside around that area is unbelievable. Would love to witness someone doing it
The way that some hotel showers have an overly sensitive temperature control. Move it one way and you get a freezing shower. Move it a fraction the other way and it's scalding hot.
Today, in the hotel I'm staying in, the shower is even worse. Without touching any of the controls, it goes through a cycle of scalding hot > hot > warm > cool > freezing and back to scalding again. This means performing a merry dance where you move in and out of the water.
The idea of tilting toilets, designed specifically to cause discomfort after 5 minutes and thus encourage the workforce back to their work stations.
I used to work for a company where every morning the boss would open all the bog windows. He said it would encourage people not to linger in the shitter for too long.
One lazy git that used to work for me would disappear into the (windowless) bogs for about half an hour every afternoon, taking his paper with him. Switching the lights off after ten minutes sorted him out.
Having an important piece of written work revised by your boss and knowing that your original was better. Then having to work through it again, incorporating enough of the boss's changes to keep them happy, whilst staying as close as possible to the original in a bid to maintain effectiveness and professionalism.
Dickhead teenagers (I assume) who sit in their cars doing balloons, then just open the door and deposit dozens of the little metal canisters on the road/ pavement..... seems to be a plague of it round our way recently. If i ever catch them they can have them back one by one... as suppositories.

I'll have you know it's cold, damp, draughty, the sofa is too short to lie on comfortably, and the road noise is unbearable. There's no need to rub it in.
Sniffing - just get a tissue and blow your nose rather than snort your snot back up every 20 seconds. My office is plagued with sniffers. Even the sarcastic "have you got a cold / can I get you a tissue" line fails to make them aware of how f*cking annoying they are.

But there's nothing like a nice winter oyster to soothe an office dry throat.

That's a nice picture you paint, but this isn't a full grolly I'm talking about (I could probably admire that in the right circumstance), this is the liquidy drizzle that never passes the top of the nose but just drizzles back down to be sniffed up again. I'm beginning to think that only a natural process of evaporation over the next couple of hours will save me. Some peoples lack of self awareness and consideration is alarming.
As I'm typing this, I have noticed that there is a correlation between the sniffers and those who couldn't hold a knife and fork correctly at our Christmas dinner. Maybe sniffing has a deeper social significance.

My current boss has been sniffing since I started working with him in August. Absolutely no hints in his direction work. It's disgusting. He stands over my desk dictating emails whilst eating a sandwich, talking with his mouthful and sniffing. dropping/spitting crumbs on me. Some people are vile.

The idea that someone thought it was a good idea to go shopping in The Glades in Bromley yesterday on a skateboard.
Similar here, GA, people in the big shopping mall taking their bloody dogs with them. The place was rammo enough without having to avoid stepping on Pedro the poodle...

Got a mate who we were meeting up with at the weekend but his little un has been ill with a cold and conjunctivitis, which he caught too.
I said maybe we'd better leave it, do it another time, don't want my kids being ill at Christmas, let's rearrange for Jan...
"We'll be fine! She's not that gunky now!" etc etc.
No mate, piss off! Awkward now to basically tell a good mate not to come and see us.
People who push in at bus stops! Long live the Queue.

I'm all for energy saving technology, but not at the cost of aesthetics.
