Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 2]
Discussion
Working with a colleague who should have retired 3 years ago has driven me to rage like nothing else.
He's morbidly obese.
He can barely get in or out of the van.
He refuses to walk anywhere on site (we are glorified inspectors, so should be walking, inspecting, for several hours every day).
He will only listen to w
ker FM (Absolute Radio) and kicks off should I decide to change the station.
He falls asleep as soon as we stop somewhere for more than 5 minutes (VERY embarrassing in front of the workers).
He buggers off at lunchtime near enough every day under the excuse of "taking the wife to the docs" or "Gotta sort out one of the boys". Whilst still booking 10+ hours/day. Today, for example, he left at 12.50 saying "The wife needs to get a prescription from the Docs, I need to take her", completely disregarding his 2 dole-toting layabout sons, 20 and 26, who live at home, with his unemployed wife who is on the phone nagging him from 7AM.
Leaving me, every day, to complete his work, my work, and then do a 2-person walkthrough inspection on my own. He refuses to turn on his laptop because "Computers confuse him", so everyone else has to do printing that he needs. He won't do surveying because "his knees won't take it".
Working with him is like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7Qwn4lUSpo
Fat, bald, old, dribbling,. I'm 18 months in to this site, with 2 months left, and I'm gagging for the end. I wouldn't mind having a nasty fall, breaking both legs, just so I can escape here tonight and not have to carry that useless fat sack of st and lard for one more working day.
But it's the falling asleep - and SNORING - that really get me. And he has not an ounce of embarrassment.
He does vex me.

Hideous Chav families with three kids one of whom is called Jordan (all Jordans without exception are badly behaved spawn of half-wits) who seem unable the grasp the concept of "Please keep off" signs on some of the exhibits at Amberley working museum.The poor B.S.A in the telecommunications hall that got ravaged by the hateful twunt kids.Who then looked at me in shock when i said have you seen the sign to keep off.Then kept bumping in to them all the way round and the fat armed idle mother was so lazy she was unable to get past the first four letters of Jords name which she repeated incessantly with no impact on the hateful brats behaviour..Jord...Jord...Jord.
Aaaaaaaaaaagggghhhhhhh!!!!!

you need to start using his disadvantages to your advantage and HTFU. Don't let him sleep for a start. Wind him up. Find a way to maket and lard for one more working day. But it's

iva cosworth] People [on here mainly said:
who when describing their car have to put the whole model in when it not necessary.
For instance ....Golf GTTDI 130
We dont need to know every last detail when Golf was sufficient .
BTW when i mention my car here i only type cosworth.Simples.
So what do you have a Ford or a Mercedes?For instance ....Golf GTTDI 130
We dont need to know every last detail when Golf was sufficient .
BTW when i mention my car here i only type cosworth.Simples.
People "on here" ie petrol heads do want to know what model, spec etc

Washing machines. Or, more to the point, the fact that washing machines don't have a "Oh st I forgot to put that in" button.
A button that - if pressed within the first two minutes of a cycle - would stop the machine, drain enough water out to open the door, unlock the door and let you put in that sock/T-towel/thong that you dropped on the floor on the way to the washing machine, then carry on with the cycle.
Not, I am sure, beyond the capabilities of laundry appliance manufacturers.
Indeed it isn't. While doing some research for a new washing machine yesterday I notice a number of manufacturers now offer a feature of being able to add items. 'Reload function lets you add something to the wash if the water level in the drum is not too high - handy if you’ve dropped a sock on the stairs on the way to the machine!'t I forgot to put that in" button.A button that - if pressed within the first two minutes of a cycle - would stop the machine, drain enough water out to open the door, unlock the door and let you put in that sock/T-towel/thong that you dropped on the floor on the way to the washing machine, then carry on with the cycle.

I've spoken to the Mgr on the job, he says to leave it be, it's only a few more weeks. As I type now, I'm looking at him asleep.
To coin a 4chan-ism, FML.
