When I was selling my house in Solihull I was working on a contract in Southend and the Estate Agents said that they would only arrange viewings at weekends. I had given them a set of keys but not for the garage and without me knowing took someone round to view. They called me at work to ask if I could get them a key for the garage as the viewers wanted a look inside so I got on my bike straight after work and did a 292 mile round trip to drop the keys in at their office. I called them the next day to check they'd got them to be told they'd decided the day before that they didn't need them. No phone call, no apology, Bairstow Eves utter cunts! I also got home early one Friday to find 2 estate agents in the house, they weren't doing a viewing, just having a look! They didn't do an awful lot to justify the ridiculous fee, at least the solicitors did what I asked of them for a fraction of the cost.Estate agents who try to bullshit you when you have made sure everything is in writing so a simple email search makes them look silly every time.
House sellers who are slow as fuck.
Conveyancers who can't read.
All cunts, actual proper cunts.
Didn't know you were one of my companies clientsOur IT department at work. Got an issue I raised with them the other day, gave me a couple of guides to try and fix it. Suffice to say, neither worked. They then told me to call them when I had 20-30 minutes available, which I did this afternoon. The guy proceeds to set off a factory reset and tells me that it’ll probably take 3 hours before I’m back up and running. No choice of when to do it, and now missed 2 customer appointments. Fucking imbeciles.
The over use of the word "survivors"
If you get through a car crash or a bomb attack where it's a life threatening event, then you are a survivor.
I have full sympathy for people who have bee abused, sexually, physically or emotionally, but they are "victims" NOT survivors.
What are you up to at the weekend?New entry coming directly in at number 1 - the fucking gimp who’s thought it is a good idea to set up a Teams chat between 130 of us to “talk about what we’re up to at the weekend”. Mission: to drive engagement. Result: me wanting to get out of this godforsaken hell-hole without raising attention. Onto mute you go.

"Getting a bag of coke and a few escorts as it's the wife's birthday"
That should put an end to those sorts of gatherings.
Likely put an end to my employment as well

We have them with the added bonus that as its not counted as work they are all held outside of work hours. Its pretty difficult to keep coming up with excuses when we're in lockdown!Tbf to them I can see where they're coming from (not the 130 person chart maybe) but home working is a completely joyless isolating experience. It's good to chat about something other than the subject matter of thousands of Teams calls.

The leadership team at my last place used to talk like that and then got upset if they heard their positive messaging had been met with cynicism. What's wrong with these negative people they said. They never got that it was the perception that it was only "warm words' but insincere. Those type of leaders never do. They swallow the How to be an effective leader horsesh!t on those courses. They think listening means finding out what chocolate you like and putting a mini mars bar in your pigeonhole. That's not a euphemism BTWUntil very recently I worked in part of the department that is not only infamous for delivering the square route of zero, despite the millions it spends (mainly on useless, charlatan contractors*) but also is known for its deflection of blame, directed at individuals and groups. In an effort to raise morale the Director has arranged for a series of 'how great are we' sessions. From the Teams chat after the latest session:
[11:21] xxxxx
I am proud of the relationship my team has with xxxxs.
[11:21] xxxx
I am proud of xxxx Directorate and every single person working in it - WE ARE AWESOME!
[11:21] xxxx
Proud to achieve alot in the past year in developing the xxx function
[11:22] xxx
I am proud of the work we do and the colleagues I work with who are all so positive and helpful.
[11:22] xxx
I am proud of all the support I have had from my team and Director (smile) They are all amazing
[11:22]
I find the pride that xxx staff take in their work and striving to do their best in every situation is inspiring

This sycophantic shite from the very worse part of the business I have ever witnessed, and who have just about zero to be proud about as a collective.
*as previously acknowledged, most contractors are good, and some utterly brilliant, and without which organisations such as mine would be screwed.
We did an exercise like that once, everybody was asked to give a statement on why they were proud to work here. I blanked it.Until very recently I worked in part of the department that is not only infamous for delivering the square root of zero, despite the millions it spends (mainly on useless, charlatan contractors*) but also is known for its deflection of blame, directed at individuals and groups.

Whenever you start a new job, talk about all of your grandparents. That's 4 days off in the bank!We have them with the added bonus that as its not counted as work they are all held outside of work hours. Its pretty difficult to keep coming up with excuses when we're in lockdown!
Love Island and the fish lipped idiots who say 'like' four times in a sentence.
Why have you got a beef about that?Football badges tattooed onto the calf.
Why always the calf?
A little worrying. Is she in charge of what you do in every second of your day? If she won't 'allocate' you any time to do these jobs, what does she make you do during this time instead?Gives my a large amount of DIY jobs to do but whenever I say I want to do them she won't allocate me anytime to do it.
Do you need to book in for a s**t?A little worrying. Is she in charge of what you do in every second of your day? If she won't 'allocate' you any time to do these jobs, what does she make you do during this time instead?
Football badges tattooed onto the calf.
Why always the calf?
Have you tried tattooing a fully grown bull?Football badges tattooed onto the calf.
Why always the calf?
Why have you got a beef about that?
I have the cov badge tattooed on my calf.
do I think I’m hard? No, never been a fighter
Am I out to look for trouble? Complete opposite
I have many tattoos but people are shocked when I have them out.
to answer your question, I wanted it on my calf because I can have it out when I want and hide it when I want with ease. I have a respectable job and will only have them on show when I think it’s appropriate too.
I find the people who have tattoos that wear shorts and t shirt in the winter to have them out more annoying.
I also find people who comment on other people having tattoos annoying too
did you pay for it? No
is it in your skin? No
do you have to look so hard at them to find faults? No
do I comment on you for not having tattoos? No
* I’m not pointing this reply directly at you BTW. It’s just my feelings towards people in general when talking about tattoos as seeing them as a taboo still.
we’re in 2021 now
Why have you got a beef about that?
Well at least I try........Underappreciated comment.
It didn't veal right!Well at least I try........
