cackleberry Jan 2015 7:21pm, 16 Jan 2015 503 posts	Quote Pin cackleberry Oops I do that to the boss V'rap. Usually cos the caller has gone 'Hey up love, it's Dave calling R back' as if the boss had already spoken to Dave today. He hadn't. My work collegues leaving half their bloody household items at work! Having worked in labs and factories for most of my life, I can't comprehend having a desk cluttered with crap. Both on it and under it. It's all gone in a box with a note stuck to it that says 'Find a home for this, or I will.' (I didn't actually stick a note on the box, but I was tempted.)

Southcoastpete Jan 2015 7:33pm, 16 Jan 2015 4,896 posts	Quote Pin Southcoastpete People who use advertising catch phrases or websites addresses in substitute for normal English. Like my boss, who instead of saying "last minute", to illistrate how someone had done something nearly too late, had to say "last minute DOT COM". So if he is not sure about something, I guess he will be "Confused DOT COM" Well, he can "F8ck OFF DOT COM"
Duchess Jan 2015 9:12pm, 16 Jan 2015 5,218 posts	Quote Pin Duchess Today I've been working from home, which I haven't done for a while. The house phone has rung probably 15 times, of which a dozen have been pre-recorded automated cold calls trying to sell government-funded schemes for new windows or boilers or whatever. And yes I'm ex-directory and registered with TPS. And not a one of them on anything but a withheld number. The only people who have that number are my parents and the old couple downstairs. FFS I can't even remember it, never mind giving it out to marketing companies. Fortunately I'm capable of ignoring a ringing phone.

old mum Jan 2015 6:31pm, 18 Jan 2015 941 posts	Quote Pin old mum When someone invites themselves round for dinner for 6pm (that part's fine) then arrives late....very late....without so much as a text to say they're running late. That. So, instead of finishing the report on Divorce and Dissolution that's due in tomorrow, I've been in the kitchen preparing dinner and lactose free pudding for someone that doesn't even have the common decency to either arrive on time or communicate. Not impressed.
