First thing I saw when I logged on was an (obviously fake) story about Nelson Mandela and his professor. It took about 3 comments for Gandhi and Churchill to be discussed with the OP writing about the 'loony left'. It just amazes me people think arguments like that on what is supposed to be a work networking platform make them look anything but grossly unprofessional. Also hate the humble brag posts.

It's honestly horrendous. it's full of kiss arse brown nosing words removed posting fake bullshit about their crap jobs trying to make themselves sound interesting or keen. I despise it. I'm only on it for finding new jobs if that situation ever arises. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mottaloo Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Insurance companies and renewal time. The boring ritual of phoning to cancel cos you've found a new insurer that offers the same cover for half the price, knowing you'll be having the same conversation with them as well in 12 months' time. Just got off the phone from Halifax who were very surprised i wouldn't take their reviewed offer which was £30 less than their first renewal figure....even when i told them it was still £40 more expensive than my new insurer.....like they think I'm blagging them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I find myself getting increasingly angry with people at work, I think constantly WFH and not seeing a face or discuss things in person makes it a lot easier to just attribute everything they do to incompetence and idiocy. There are definitely some anger problems brewing, I'm going to need to compose myself before I get back in to the office. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 The fact that almost nobody on TV or radio can pronounce the word "vulnerable" correctly. Just **** off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjvilla Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Hot weather. Bloody hate it. So glad it's been cooler the last few days. Particularly as I've been working nights.

Follyfoot Posted July 2, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 2, 2020 People who do not read the attachments when ordering online. My company since the outbreak of COVID-19 has advised all customers purchasing beds settees and the like that we are not allowed to come into peoples houses and to ensure If an item needs to be taken to the back or upstairs of the house that sufficient people be on site to achieve this. Anyway was on the job this afternoon and I’ve got this new settee to his blokes door who then asked me to help him carry it upstairs, told him sorry mate and he went mental shouting, swearing and barking like a dog. Had to leg it in the end 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
