Sorry to gatecrash ......

Clients who email you and then chase you up if you haven't responded to them in 5 minutes flat.

Clients who call, refuse to leave a message, but continue to repeat the process so that you come back to your desk with 5 voicemails clogging up the system, none of which contain a message (presumably they've listened to your whole voicemail each time then hung up straight after the beep) - why not leave a bloody message the first time?!

Colleagues who think it acceptable to create the worst smell imaginable in the gents and fail to do anything to alleviate it (air freshener, open a window).

I could go on all day with office related ones of these ......

Fierce and Fearless Fleecy
Hairdressers. I had one today who had fingers made of fucking iron, the most painful scalp massage known to person. Then she tried to rip each hair out by its roots under the pretence of combing it. I know I had a headache, but she was bloody brutal!
Then she charged me £50! 'Senior stylist'. I think I must have inadvertently walked into an S and M dungeon posing as a hair salon...

Fifty quid for a flipping haircut - that's extortionate! I would come round and do it for that price ;-)

I'll do it for 20. I'll even bring my own scissors and bowl.

I also have some of those - what are they called, trimmers? - that shave your head to various degrees of skinheadedness.

Used my trimmer today. Number 2. It's a bit chilly.

I think I might just resort to that McG. Being female really sucks!
