Thinking about past jobs and realised that (almost) every company I’ve worked for in 40+years… is no longer trading !
I would be very worried if the first people I worked for no longer were around

Whatever! It is my irritation and you cannot tell me I am wrong or not irritated

Yep spot on
Young lads and ladies have harmed themselves or done worse over the years because of the pressures of exams results

Having to tell a grown man to go home to shower, put clean clothes on and how to correctly wash and clean what he came into work in today!

We have a work colleague like that, it’s hell working with him. The customers poke fun at him behind his back but the weird thing is he knows he stinks but does nothing about it

As van driver for my day to day, it’s something you deal with all the time.Drivers who speed up when you go to overtake them, why be a grade A knob
Fortunately my van more than enough go to be able to play the “ let’s speed up then” game when needed.

It’s an awkward situation to be in for both the person involved and the person telling them. Sadly not the most awkward conversation I’ve ever had at work.We have a work colleague like that, it’s hell working with him.

My brother was in a similar situation at his work. He was telling the guy that he has to have a difficult conversation to someone about their personal hygiene. He turns to my brother and says don't worry I'll do it. He hadn't clicked it was him he was talking about.

Idiots in my gym's swimming pool who don't understand the concept of different speeds for different lanes.
Three lanes labelled slow, medium and fast.
Slow should be for those who want to walk, or swim a slow breast stroke. Medium for those who want to do a decent paced breast-stroke or a slow front crawl. Fast for those who want to do a fast front crawl. Not difficult.
But no! I'm a fast breast-stroker (oo-er missus) so go in the medium lane. And without fail I always have to contend with a coffin dodger who just wants to walk up and down and/or people who swim a breast stroke at the pace of an asthmatic ant carrying some heavy shopping.

When we used to go camping one of the things my dad did was to hang a jar with jam in a short distance away from where we sat , it seemed to work.

Ditto to other commentsOh I opened the bottle no problem.
Just automatically reached for the drawer with the bottle opener in it.
She has ordered new locks that come with the magnet on prime so will be here today.
Guarantee 20 minutes after it turns up will find the original magnet
Why the new locks? - you just need a magnet, any one will do.
Nice use of the Blackadder line. It brought the whole irritation together and gave it gravitas.

She likes the locks and we needed some more anyway (to be fair they are good).
Just so happens it comes with the magnet.

Only one magnet? Seems that a couple should be supplied for exactly this type of scenario - or maybe the firm know people will lose them and they then force people to buy the whole set.

To be fair they might send 10 for all I know.
The Mrs orders them opens them and then puts them in a safe place never to be seen again.
I’m sure I live in the Bermuda Triangle

Ha ha, thank you, I wondered if anyone would recognise it!
I was toying with writing something about a sloth, but felt my comedy writing wasn't as good as that of Richard Curtis and Ben Elton, so stole theirs!
