Working abroad. Need my works computer ("it's not your computer, it's the company's computer") to be freed of some of the restrictions such as being able to use the USB sockets for bulk file transfer, and to reduce the stupid 5 minute lock-out as I do a lot of webinars etc.
Speak to the IT Cockends."We can do that remotely. Do x, y and z, then restart and it will work."
It didn't. Then, because the fking nerdfks only work about 15 minutes a day, have to wait another 18 hours to speak to them. They then do it again, with no result. Useless cross-dressing pricks.
So I now have to cut my weeks home leave (when Im flying off with the Mrs) 2 day short so I can go in to the office and get them to physically do it. This will cost me about £400 in altered flights. I ask the fking adenoidal techy tts if it's really necessary, if I can just leave the laptop with the weekend security guards, they say "no, it's against IT policy". So I tell him his department is as helpful as a brain tumor. Now the is pushing for a disciplinary.
Good job my boss agrees with me.
But yeah. IT motherfkers and their whole "computer says no" attitude. Talk about tail wagging the dog. I'm gonna take a st in the laptop bag before I give it to them. wkers. Why make life so difficult for everyone, just because they're a 35 year old Virgin living with their fat fking moaning mum?
And since they've carried out their remote "solution" aka a fking abject failure, my VPN is now disabled, so I am doing everything over webmail and having to wait for the fking UK to start before anyone can send me any fking project related stuff off their ing servers.

That much restriction is a piss take. Here the users call us if they want to install something like iTunes or something like that, but for the most of them we have offline installers, and use those, but there's hardly every any problems. Locking down USB drives? Sounds like they're doing it because they can, not because it improves business workflow in any way, shape or form.

So there I was

Not I bought a new Audo Egoburster so my knob must be tiny.
They say it on telly, wireless, on the train and on here. Everywhere.

People who construct large nests of toilet paper in public toilets, sh*t on top of the toilet paper nest and then abandon the construction for the next poor beggar to discover.
WTF are these people thinking? What's the thought process?
A lot of thought and effort went into the design of the flushing WC, it's a miracle of functional design and form. So why pile a load of paper into it and crap on top of it completely buggering up the system?

And yes I did just refer to nibbling my own flange. Go on, laugh it up.

Same problem here. Fingernails fine. Skin around them looks like it's been through a mincer 
.Mobile phones and 0800 numbers!
I can call any number without issue other than 0800 at which point it appears my microphone doesn't want to work. I can hear the other party perfectly fine but all I get from them is "hello, hello, i can't hear you, say something etc"
Then scanners, a certain bank I am dealing with want all documents scanned in PDF or TIF format but can only accept files up to 2mb in size. So having scanned all the docs individually, then compressed them to get them to under 2mb I sent them off.
It takes the bank 5 working days to look at the document and now they tell me some of the images are a little blurry.

There's one of these in my office, it's a rare week goes by when he doesn't block the toilet at least twice, meaning it's out of action for the rest of the day. He also refuses to touch any common item without a paper towel in his hand. Maybe he has a lot of shares in Georgia-Pacific?

t.That bit when you have just sat through a very long presentation and all you want to do is for them to conclude and let you go, so you can have a wazz and then grab a coffee.
But first we have to have the "any questions?" bit.
Initially there is silence, followed by the presenter going "No? Anyone?". And then someone - there is always someone - feels they have to ask a question (to the inward groan of many including me) and then that's it, you're in there for another 20 mins at least. And, worse, it then becomes a discussion between 2 or 3 people who are actually interested in the question whilst 50-odd people look at their watches and play with their phones.
I shouldn't complain really as I get paid anyway, but it still annoys me beyond reason.

Caught a taxi home from the station to home, all of 2miles away at the most (had baggage and was raining).
Pulled off the taxi rank and came to a stop at the Mini Roundabout at the station exit. Driver turns around..."Which way now???"

k yes. This, this and this again. Seemingly for my entire life I have been plagued by the thick, the overly keen, and perhaps the thickly keen, who make every lecture, presentation, meeting, forum blah blah blah last longer than it needs to.Add to this the ignorant/arrogant f
kers who have apparently never read or been told about any of the studies regarding waning attention and how little gets achieved beyond about the 35 minute mark in any meeting and then proceed to book two (sometimes even three) hour meetings, seemingly just in an attempt to make my head explode with a rare and excrutiating blend of extreme boredom and rage. Further add to this the extraordinary phrase, when business has been concluded within the allotted time. "We've got fifteen minutes left; what shall we talk about?". What!? f
king fk off you fktard. How about we go and get on with some work, or better still take a short break to recover from the terrible ste you've been spouting on about for the last hour plus?AAAAAAAAAAAAGH.
I had a 30 minute weekly meeting this morning that, because we'd been excellent at our jobs over the previous weeks, lasted a mere 5 minutes. I invited everyone for a coffee for the remaining 25 minutes!
With regard to the over-eager question masters at the end of presentations, attack is the best form of defence:
"Yes, I have a few questions, but I know that some people have transport to catch / another meeting to go to (delete as applicable) so I'll ask you after this has been wrapped up."
