Petrol stations that take ages to activate the pumps! They can see you have the nozzle in and are waiting. You can see that they can see. But still they make you wait - I'm sure some of them derive satisfaction from this. I clocked Sainburys in Hedge End at over 40 seconds last week.

At the risk of offending lots of people. Project Managers Pacifically IT project managers who start convesations with the phrase "I mean Martin I'm not 100% sure as I'm not technical" YOU fcuking WORK IN fcuking I fcuking T So I'm a techie kinda person who is getting p*ssed off with how long it is taking to fix what appears to be a simple problem. To get an answer the chinese whisper goes me internal project manager (who's not technical) IT busisness services project manager (who's not techncial) IT support company project manager (who's not technical) IT team leader (who is "rusty") Techie The techie of course "isn't client facing" so isn't allowed to speak to me I can't help but think that if you took the four non-technical fcukwits of out of the picture we'd save a lot of money and actually get a resolution. doohdahs the lot of them

NEVER EVER screed a floor in an old house with a timber suspended floor

tw@ts

WTF?



I take it they put a 500 gauge membrane down first to stop the fines percolating through?

Lazy..... project management is just a buzz word created by management to justify a fee. utterly pointless unless there are a group of 10+ different disciplines working on a scheme and need co-ordinating. Im doing a job atm and the list of consultants is currently running at 14, I spend more time making sure everybody talks to eaach other and info is circulated than doing my own job. My boss is going to start doing a 'project management' role if I get my way I was going to acronym project manager there but thought better of it

Todays pissed off moments?

The girl upstairs who has decided to bring her pissed up mates back from the pub. Ive turned the telly off cos I cant hear it anymore her flat is going to be wrecked, ther is stuff bouncing off the floor/walls as I type

People who are never happy - no matter how much life goes there way - people who still find something to moan about and think the world owes them a favour - i mean for fucks sake people, you are far better off then 99.9% of the people in this world....... take a second to sit back, neck a beer and say cheers to the man that looked down on you when they were handing out lives.......

old houses need to breathe. DPMs just cause rot/ damp. thankfully it's only under the stairs, so i'm breaking it out today and putting a suspended timber floor down

I was being sarcastic

Wedding lists. I have a problem with wedding lists at the best of times – you should get what you are given and accept it with a smile on your face – but I will accept that in these days of geographical isolation a list is a useful guide for people who may not know what you already have. It also avoids the problem of storing four fondue sets. No problem there. But why do people get so fcuking anal about it? I was reading one couple’s effort this morning and it made me wince. They actually set out what tea towels they wanted. Right down to the colour. It’s a fcuking tea towel. It will be used for drying your plates. That’s it. Nothing else. Nothing. Do you think your kitchen should always look like the picture in the bollocking Dulux colour charts? Oh we must get tea towels that match the kitchen. Hell’s teeth. What’s wrong with just saying “we need some tea towels” and leave it at that? Pasta server? Look if you really need a pasta server (and you don’t) then just fcuk off to IKEA and buy one for three and six. You’ll only end up throwing it at you beloved when you find that they have put their wine glass down in the wrong part of your living room so it no longer looks like it did in the brochure. I think what I find so troubling about the whole thing is that the lists give the impression that these people have thought about it. Really thought about it. Well darling, it’s our first home together and it simply wouldn’t be complete without the set of five seagrass linen baskets. Best put that on the list. Tablecloth. For God’s sake man you’re 24. You don’t need a tablecloth. There will be plenty of time for those when your nearly dead. You don’t need people to waste their money buying you something you’re never going to use. It looked like they had the assistance of a maiden aunt in the production of the list. I didn’t study it closely enough to see if it also had 2 gallon enamel jug and a mangle. I’m not going to go on about the fact these people were supposedly educated at a blue chip university and there isn’t a single book on the list. Plenty of fcuking fern fossil design slate coaster set (2) but no books. I think I’m going to get them four fondue sets. That’ll learn ‘em.

While I'm in going off on one mode... Boilers. Not new boilers but nearly 100 year old boilers which people are operating as if they were new. I appreciate that everyone here is far too street, together and cool to go anywhere near a gathering of steam engines but if you were considering it then I wouldn't bother. One of these bastards is going to go pop in the not too distant future and the results are going to be less than pleasant. Than maybe, just maybe as long as they are still alive some people will think that sticking their head in the sand wasn't the wisest plan in the world. Leave it, it's personal...

16 year old neighbours who have just started playing dance hits of 1996 at full volume I'll give them 10 mins before I go round and insert that CD somewhere painful

Our lazy fcukin b*stard binmen who can't be a*sed to pick up the bag of garden rubbish I put out with the garden rubbish recycle bin cos it was full. They only had to empty it into the bl**dy machine

[fluffy]

people who end normal everyday statements with a questioning tone at the end. For instance: "get those new pcs set up and we'll get the software people in next week?" The aussies do this all the time - eg ask for directions and you'll get something like - "you take a left, then take the first right?" The two people I work with do this frequently. One of them is french canadian and therefore has an excuse but the other is english. His excuse is he is my boss and can do what he bloody well likes? Bloody stop it!

alert on....

What a fcuking day

Pet hates for the day Follow.....

People who don't communicate well.

What is it with these sorts? The information is soooo precious to you, you dont fancy sharing it?

This afternoon I had to endure a 4 hour meeting, which in itself was complicated and very tiring. Right at the end i mentioned the programme and the eventual completion date of dec 2007.

The two headteachers faces dropped, then became angry. They had been told it was a sept 2007 finish (end of school year) and had worked all the budgets for the schools around that date. Additionally (since its an amalgamation of the schools) staff had been told to find new jobs from sept.....Teachers are near unemployable if they cant start at the commencement of the school year

There were so many other issues this caused.....all it needed to stop all this hassle for the teachers, parents and kids was for somebody to 'share' the info...

#2 people who cant be arsed to re-cycle and use my bin instead

Says it all really.....
