Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

More work rantage:

People who get the milk out of the work fridge, check the date, notice it's out of date AND THEN PUT IT BACK IN THE FRIDGE!

Also, people who always open a new milk when they make a drink because they don't know how long the last one has been open for. FFS, having EVERY milk open at once in the fridge with a smidge taken out of the top is just fucking daft. And inconsiderate.

So many pubes on the toilet seat that it's obvious the previous occupant was having a bloody good scratch/rummage

TRO Toddslayer
Work rantage III:

People who come into work with infectious illnesses. There she sits today with half the stock of the local Boots scattered about her desk, heroically battling through a cold, currently operating at about 20% efficiency while moaning like buggery.

Any comment along the lines of 'go home you're ill' is met with some retort about 'too much work to do' - yet come next week half the fucking office will be off and we really will be in schtum then.

So we all sit, powerless, to the sounds of continuous coughing and snooking and snotting knowing that half of us are probably going to feel just as bad next week because she wouldn;t take a couple of days off.

Does my fucking nut in!!

McG - perhaps they were using the facilities to wash their hair?

TRO - that’s one of the reasons I’ve been out of the office for two weeks. Arguably I could have dragged myself into the office last Mon/Tues but I’d have made loads of people sick in my attempt to be heroic.

W - by sitting & flushing? Actually it is ... ahem... a *motion* sensitive flush. So much so that just leaning across to the paper dispenser can result in a surprise bidet effect...

Sorry to be so late with relay. I've actually been busy today... which isn't like me.

Adults on scooters grind my gears because I feel they're just an affectation - hipster attention props if you will. If you want to get about without an internal combustion engine (or electric motor) and can't be arsed walking, well the bike has been invented.

No offence meant to any users on here, if you like your scooter, crack on ... I just can't help being crabbit ! ;-)

(Hi Fetch btw ... give us a shout if you're up this neck of the woods again. Livingston Parkrun is cool.)
