Shillzz Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 The "how many emails" line is a trademark of my boss. Other specialities include, Sitting in the car park infront of where everyone can see and popping the roof on her convertable. Uncontrollably laughing at an unusually loud level when in a crowd, then turning the conversation onto herself. Talking over people in order to turn the conversation onto herself. Praising herself every time she does something right. One of our biggest customers renewed a contract not so long ago, after which she called a meeting to inform everyone how well she'd done. The words "I, me and my" came up with annoying regularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Attention seeking. My boss has been going on lately about how an old friend has been battling with illness, and keeping us all informed on a daily basis about what's going on. Without wishing to sound heartless, none of us really want to know in all honesty, I'm sure she wouldnt care if the shoe was on the other foot. Anyway, my boss barely knows this person, he's not really any more than a friend of a friend, if that. Anyway, sadly, said person passed away yesterday. My boss was inconsolable, the whole office got to hear about it in a flood of tears peppered with a good helping of "me, me me.. blah blah blah". She's back in the office today, laughing her head off, in the mood of her life. This really winds me up. That fake, 'look how caring and upset I am' act. My ex was like that whenever she talked about her passed grandparents and it really wound me up. Makes you feel a bit of an arsehole for thinking it though. That actually brings me onto another point. Facebook grieving A young girl recently passed away near to me, I didn't know her, but a lot of my friends did. The amount of status updates talking about how sad people were annoyed me a little. People are ofcourse entitled to be sad, and mourn, and even venting it on facebook is absolutely fine. It was the way everyone was constantly talking about themselves that wound me up. Suddenly this girl had 300 best friends, all of whom were competing to get the most "likes" out of a status. "I am so sad today, how will I cope, someone please give me attention" Pipe down, you barely knew her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The words "I, me and my" came up with annoying regularity. The general line where I work from almost everyone in the office is :- Me : Alright (insert name), hows it going ? Them: "Busy, busy, busy" (The first busy is always loud so anyone else can hear it if needed). That's it, that's all I get. No how are you ? or anything. That is from about 90 % of the people I work with. You can't even talk to people anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I can't stand when people want attention via other peoples misfortune. Just ignore it. Attention seekers in general, I tend to give them a 'seriously, **** off' and that does it. I find most people just don't want to be seen as a word removed, and thus give the seeker some attention, as if to say 'look how much I care, I'm so nice'. Those people are just as bad. I may be a word removed, but at least I don't pretend otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastEndVillan Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 We are currently having our processes LEAN'd. So they have employed another team to come in and help make us more efficient. We've just been Lean'd, even though we're an IT department. Never have I seen such a load of old ar$e gravy in all my life. Have you done your VVS's yet. I find it odd how a supposedly 21st century IT department is re-defining its processes using different colour post notes and and brown parcel paper.

Stevo985 Posted June 19, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 19, 2012 Oooh I've just remembered something that pissed me off at the England game on Friday. I watched the game at Walkabout in town.

Jimzk5 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 apprentices got a chap started at work last week, 16 just left school, cocky, arrogant, walks with that "pissed chimp with a nappy full of shit" walk that they do now and said when i asked him to do something today - "why should i, your paid more than me" i was going to try and explain the whole point of being an apprentice is you earn more money the more skilled you become and you needs hands on learning to do this. i just found it easier to let down the tyres on his moped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 To be honest, I think that's a good idea. It's hard nowadays for a lot of people to get jobs, especially those without experience and the like. Now this will give them some experience.
