They have decided Stanley knives are to be banned in the office and anyone found with a Stanley knife will face some serious disciplinary action.
Why would office staff need Stanley knives?? Genuine question.

For gang fight with accounts.

Also to open the boxes of parts we have delivered.

People using the word "random" when clearly it was nothing of the sort and is completely out of complex.

"That's a bit random" No love, what you mean is that was a little bit unexpected or even unusual.
Further to this, people who use the wrong word, despite its meaning being obvious. No wonder 83% of the population are so confused.



On an unrelated note: people who make up uncited statistics that, funnily enough, favour the point they're trying to make.

Why would anyone use statistics - genuine or otherwise - to contradict themselves? confused

You can get special box cutters for that. An excellent case of someone creating a gap in the market I think.

Those fking buzzfeed videos, showing how to cook a meal, or carry out a little diy project.

What the fk happened to a list of ingredients and instructions? Instead, various family members force me to watch a 6 minute video of a tt gently stirring mousaka while placing in chucks of chicken one by one.

Or, just now, a 4 minute video of some tt digging (through impossibly soft soil) a fire pit and placing fire bricks around. fk me, it will look st, will last a month or two, and I pity the poor git forced to do it (me).

Why can't they just have a photo? Why do I need to spend so much ttting time watching these fking videos?
Whilst I don't deny you your right to be annoyed, and whilst I too prefer description and photos to a video, some people simply find they learn better when something is demonstrated to them in a video than in photos and text. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but sometimes a video is worth several thousand.

Each to their own and all that.

But, as I said, you're more than welcome to be annoyed that not everyone is exactly the same as you. smile
I pretty much completely prefer videos now to written articles about anything.

Lazy.

Creating a gap in the market for creating a gap in the packaging. silly

Burts Crisps.

Specifically the bloody "Lentil Waves" variety...



...made with Lentil Flour, and only 99 calories per pack.

Shame I didn't notice that they were not "proper" potato-crisps until AFTER I'd opened the bag and tasted them!!!

Damn you Burt, and damn you National Trust cafe, Cliveden, for not attaching some kind of warning to the crisps display at the cafe...

irked


What annoys me even more? They weren't too bad in the end. But I was still annoyed because they weren't what I had wanted in the first place. Still, I'm aware that 'lentil crisps' are an actual thing now, so I'll try to be more careful in future!

Celebrities who rush out of the woodwork to lead the national emoting in times of "crisis". Bomb goes off in Manchester. By the end of the day James Corden has made the effort to pop up on television to tell us a) how awful it is... cos my moral compass is so perversely fked that I couldn't have told the indiscriminate bombing of children is a Bad Thing without having some fat fking unfunny insurance salesman point it out to me... and b) to tell me that "we all need to cuddle our children tonight". Well, I suppose it'd make a change from me locking them in the cellar with a lump of dry bread for dinner.

To be blunt, what the fk does it have to do with you, you pompous self-interested fat fk? Wind your fking neck in and don't presume to tell me how I ought to feel/think/react.

I don't know, but 83% of people do.

However, according to a second survey, 83% of people don't.

The prevalent and seemingly never ending misuse of "weight" in place of "mass".
