Christmas markets anywhere at all.

Actually, just Christmas. Literally everything about Christmas is possible to do on any other day throughout the year. Yet people put the pressure on themselves, Christmas this, Christmas that. Shove it up your arse and piss off.

NHS office staff are just like the teachers, bunch of people too simple to do real jobs.

Doubt you were speaking to anyone employed by the NHS if you were on the phone to your GP

People that get weeks off for Christmas are pissing me off. There's people already off and not going back until the New Year!

I'll be lucky if I'm out the office on time, let alone early, on Christmas Eve. Then back in on the Friday unless you've got leave left to use.

That's not their fault though is it?

Private entities, sourcing millions of pounds and supporting all jobs that come with it,an endless chain of Comms and paper chase, anything to keep you at bay!

I was a little bit wrong. We’ve been made to take 27th from our annual leave entitlement

Gallagher retail park.

I watched a bit about people driving 40footers post COVID thought the conditions had improved, don't think that's your vehicle though is it?

I don't get why the police and border force don't spend a day there. They would clean up on their arrest quotas for sure.

Some of the cars you see as well, no way are they road legal.

Same as why the parking wardens don’t just walk up and down foleshil road all day and clear the deficit.

The biggest thing I’ll drive for these is about 30ft rigid, Monday to Friday, so really I’ve got no serious complaints.

Brexit in particular has worsened conditions with the pre-existing shortage going from the frying pan into the fire - spike in younger, or remaining drivers picking up the fallout but it’s nowhere near a recovered level. Not sure if Covid significantly knackered things.

Stoney Stanton Rd nearly all the cars parked in the bays today had parking tickets on the screen . I believe there is an ongoing operation to target that area now .

They need to get along Clay again and clear that lot up, appalling round here again.

Bloody hope so. TBF when I lived round there down a cup de sac I constantly got tickets. But nothing ever seemed to improve.

I quite like Christmas or feel like I should at least.

That said, having kids it's just too much forcing this idea of "magic" on them. You spend fortunes and time on all these experiences and the reality is that they all miss the point of 'belief' as it is so overt.

On top of that the fucking Elf you have to piss about with every night, the whole charade just feels like adults trying to recapture their own youth through somebody else.

My youngest told us she doesn’t believe this year and both me and her mum have obviously had the same reaction. No more treats for Santa. No more elf. Adult Christmas now. She’s wishing she hadn’t told us

Especially when with some people it's just so they can post it online.

when some c**t wants the whole office to know they have breakfast by playing the drums with their spoon on the bowl. Calm down mate you have some cereal.

When you get told you have to have your quarterly meeting with the manager in person so drive to Leicester only to get a message that your manager is sick and can we do it remotely?

Eating at their desk should be banned. In fact eating your breakfast at work should too. Just get up a bit earlier.

Eating in work time - paid for - bit like having a Tom tit - bastards stinking out the bogs - with like just three cubicles and three pissers you have to listen to the heaving and other sssociated noises while having a slash while their phone rings off the hook

I'd go with just people that have breakfast at work.

I'm rushed off my feet here and don't barely get time for a coffee all day let alone anything else.

But there's people who get here and then immediately start making breakfast then a few hours later have all sorts of stuff in the microwave.

Once drove for Cov to Exeter for some training at head office that absolultely had to be done in person.

Got there to be greeted with 'did nobody tell you it was cancelled?'

Back in the car and straight back home. Spent the entire day driving

Talking of people that made me angry - I had been opted into a project but reporting to a higher level - my current boss ( wankah) was pissed as he also reported to this guy - I was excused the day to day stuff but still managed the team that did it (two jobs one pay rate ) and was called to various countries for meetings and reviews - it took priority - one trip i was called to go to Denmark and arranged my flight - then I get a call from my immediate boss ( wankah) who called me to Switzerland for a review of his area of control - I rearranged my flight and had a 4 hour window for that meeting - he kept me waiting for 2 hours then proceeded to tell me I hadnt been doing my job properly by not keeping him informed about the project ( which I had been told did not concern him) so I basically told him to shove it and walked out and went to Denmark- fortunately he was sacked soon after - he was indeed a complete twat ! I would left if he wasn’t sacked

The Elf thing is apparently a Christmas Tradition according to the box it comes in. I don't remember it at all when I was younger?

I thought it came about recently through people trying to be whacky on Facebook, "Oh look the Elf is shagging a Barbie, hahaha"

suprise suprise i found a quiet bit of the airport in a corner and despite the whole place being empty, mother and child come sit next to me. Literally identical seats all around the gate and area but thought she'd bring her little blurt to run around in front of me trying to work
