Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little

[Noggin]

People with very set religious and behavioural 'rules' who go on holiday to a place where the locals/workers do not have those rules and then proceed to behave as if the locals/workers SHOULD follow the same rules and accept the poor (to us) behaviour of the tourists.

When I went to Dubai, I took clothes that fitted in with the expectations - I didn't wear short skirts or short shorts and I wore long sleeved shirts unless I was on the beach or in the hotel complex. I even bought some long trousers in one place because my below the knee shorts were attracting looks that made me feel I was in the wrong, so I changed into some new long trousers and felt less as if I was causing offence!


Here, these people just come across as bloody rude and annoying!!


One guy did talk to me because he almost pushed me over the limit and whilst waiting to speak to my boss (because my boss is a guy and I'm not!) he did actually make the time to talk with me and try and explain the reasons behind some of the behaviour - religious and cultural.

However, whilst I do mostly understand the whys, most of them are still just bloody rude!!!

Ordering an 8 quid bolt, finding it to be the wrong thread pitch, winding myself up for an argument with the seller only to work out it's my own bloody fault for not reading the description

Things like that would drive me nuts.

Yeah I expect you're screwed with regards to a refund...

Thank you for reaching out. FUCK OFF YOUR PRETENTIOUS CUNT.

It's been slung in the draw of imperial stuff, if I ever need a 1/4" - 28 bolt I'll know where it is.

Now to wait for the 1/4" - 20 that I actually wanted to turn up.

People in the paper Kremlin eroding safety in the name of performance, not listening to concerns and pushing on their agenda regardless.

I imagine he's referring to his job and 'head office'. He's in a safety critical job and his activities possibly conflict with their service level targets. Just guessing though.

People. Just fucking people. I'm about at the stage of life where I'm really not sure I can give a fuck about most of them. It's not been a great day and looking forward to getting to Pembrey and seeing some of the nicer examples of people.

HMRC's tax code lottery and estimated earnings for this year lottery.

Folk who don't think.

Had problems overnight with the fuse board tripping.
The basement is OK, so seems to be something on top 2 floors.

Got big fuseboard with 3 banks of 10 fuses.
Got pals staying upstairs and told them to unplug anything they brought and not use anything while I try to eliminate things.

Getting weird results and meter showing strange things.
Went upstairs and they've been using the kettle.

On holibobs at the moment, so here's a few things that have made me go 'Hmmm'.

People who have forgotten what stairs are for. We're on the first floor. Two flights of stairs to the ground floor and breakfast, yet hoards wait for the lift. Here's a thing though....most are chubbers. Could those two things be related?

And on that subject, people who load up plates from the breakfast buffet and then leave most of it. FFS, you can always go back for more, so just take a few bits! If you're still hungry, use those legs to go back inside, all 10 meters of it. And guess what...the worst offenders are chubbers.

Perfectly worded to describe where I work too, I might use it if that’s ok?
