Random Irritations

Posting for sale a set of nice active speakers that I built and selling them for pretty much the cost of the components (£110) and getting people asking what's my best price. So I say £110 as it's the cost of the equipment at least. They counter with, "I'll give you £90"....

People really annoy me.

I play it this way.....I was quoting for a job, gave them the price and they asked "how much for cash"......so I added an extra £20. I do the same when selling stuff and get asked the same as you, rediculous.

Thou shalt not lift 8x25kg bags of fertiliser……. Pain now measuring 7.5 on the Richter Scale. Struggling to breath

You should have lifted them one at a time, much easier.

The uncanny knack illnesses have of striking someone down immediately adjacent to a day/s they're not working

Add to that the total coincidence of people being ill for exactly the amount of paid sick days they get every year.

A lady came to work for me after being TUPE’d from the MoD to the BAE Systems ( some 12 years ago). After a few months she asked when could she plan in her two weeks sick leave. She was realigned.

Picking up some tinned 'food' today when putting it in to cupboard realised it is a much smaller tin size than the ones in there already. Nearly 20% reduction 450 grammes down to 379 grammes but the same price £5 a tin.

Many years ago when I worked in the MoD I got a phone call from the personnel dept to ask me why I had not taken my sick leave.

I overheard a conversation when I was working in the Government sector years ago where this woman was booking a doctor's appointment and asked out loud that she wanted an appointment in the middle of the day so she wouldn't need to go into work that day.

Time for a rant about clothing now. Ordered a Puma primaloft jacket from M and M Direct. Ordered my size and one above as they can be small and obviously I will be wearing more layers when I need them. They are both too big

The terms Small, Medium, Large etc etc should be banned unless manufacturers can agree on standardisation.
How can one company's Large be the same as another's Medium?
Use measurements in inches or cms...

Omg no, I definitely do not need more cake!

This. However, the same size from the same company will differ as well.
