Off the back of the thread about people doing the bare minimum

What examples have been boiling your piss recently

I am seeing more and more people not cancelling an appointment at work, despite it being just a click of the diary

At home, it’s people not putting stuff in the cupboard correctly, but just putting it on the floor in front of the cupboard, so when you get there you have to sort everything else out first

Drives me loopy so it does

You should see my other half wrapping presents.

Unbearable, so I've done them all.

My gripes are usually centred around bone idle kids.
Cardboard bog roll centres left on radiator…bin is right there!
Mucky pots in sink….dishwasher is right there ! Then there’s ignoring a full dishwasher & having zero inclination to empty it.
Clothes left in dryer then sifted through to get what is required. What is required is taking the fkers out of the dryer & putting them in drawers.

The christmas thang, the least effort does it, send a few cards to the people who actually sent me one, turn down invitations to come to dinner with people who think spending the big day alone with a few greggs sausage rolls baked beans and Aldi's crisps [ very good they are ] is sinful or something.

Bare minimum, I like it, it's my life motto.

Printer at work runs out of paper.

Mr Muppet inserts the 2-3 pages he needs for his document

The printer has 4 trays each capable of holding 500 sheets of paper. At least 8 packs of paper right next to the printer.

What is wrong with people damit!!

Check those trolleys £1 if it has a deposit system

It’s a thing with inflation I think

People seem to leave them more and more

I work for the NHS so I have a huge list.
The kitchen sink in work, there’s bin for tea bags 18 inches from the sink, they leave their spoon and tea bag on the drainer.
Leave crisp bags and various other ste in the vehicles.
General other laziness as ‘someone else will do it’.

Yeah, unless a rogue bit of cardboard goes into the wood section, or metal into the 'household waste', then they are all over you like a rash!
