People who, in response to something they disagree with, immediately descend into ad hominem insults

If you can't come up with a reasoned response arguing your point, then perhaps you are wrong ? Either that or you are a fking pig-ignorant st-for-brains tosspot.... wink

People who refuse to park "properly" at supermarkets & decide that it's ok just to dump their car anywhere, including areas where they really shouldn't be parking! Most of them appear to be fat lazy bstards anyway so no surprise!

Van drivers in liveried vans driving like wkers. Don't they realise that it's negative advertising for their business / their employer's business?

Has anyone followed up on this and contacted the company ? OK, most of the time it can be one man band operations but I've always had a temptation if I get blatantly carved up by some van to email them and create some false reason for going round an address to give a quote etc. Then if they email back (all done through a false email address obviously) asking why they've been sent round to someone's house for no reason, you then point out why you did it.

Then I just think life's to short and forget about it smile

Dear sir,

This morning at 0920, I witnessed a bottle of, what I hope was orange squash (!) being thrown from the window of one of your vans.

This happened in Shorpe (Location witheld) and is, frankly, a disgusting thing to witness given the likely contents of the bottle.

This is a disappointing thing to have seen.

I didn't get the full registration of the large van, but it began with NNNN

Regards
The company in question then contacted me, visited me and took a statement - the driver admitted liability and I believe he was disciplined.

The location was less than half a mile from a McDonalds and Morrisons which were both open at the time - The driver admitted pissing in to a bottle for whatever reason....

Hey, there's some free orange outside.
That's not orange.

Boxing, or more specifically, boxing on Sky Sports. Does it not occur to the broadcasters that not everyone is hanging on every word the two protagonists have to say, especially when they largely consist of:
I'm going to batter you
No I'm going to batter you
No you're scared
No I'm not you're scared
But I'm the best
No I'm the best
But your mum smells
Etc etc etc
Every time, for weeks on end, for every fight, repeated ad nauseum on Sky Sports News. And now let's go and hear what Tyson Fury's got to say - why, it's exactly the same rubbish he's been saying for weeks. And weeks, and weeks, and weeks.

fk off the lot of you, you boring, boring bds and do everyone a favour. And take that gurning tt Eddie Hearn with you too.
I agree. If people want to see this kind of thing, they can go to their nearest school playground.

Microsoft Powerpoint and sales people who think showing you a Powerpoint on a laptop in a 2 person sales meeting is a good idea, probably because his dimwit manager has read the David Brent book of sales. And no point reading out word for word what I can see with my own eyes on your silly Powerpoint because we are both looking at a screen and you can't make eye contact which is important if you are trying to look for any kind of buying signal. Powerpoints are for large auditoriums and lots of people, displaying single word bullet points, diagrams and animated diagrams, not for paragraphs of text that you read out word for word. Cretins.

+1000. The amount of Powerpoint Presentations I see with a paragraph written on them is ridiculous. They need a bullet point, and if you need to recite earlier wording, write it in the notes on the bottom of the page, and print it with notes, then you're always facing the audience, and only looking down rather than reading what somebody already sees and end up talking to the wall because of the way voices are projected. Nobody seems to understand that!

Those women that wear ponchos, you know the type, late 40s to mid 50s, bit weird, wears leggings and too much makeup for their wrinkled face.

Walk down the corridor and look up from your paperwork and you suddenly think Clint Eastwood is after you only to remember nope it's the fat bird from accounts trying to hide her gut.

Stop wearing a blanket to work you sodding weirdo!!!
