Random Irritations

The filthy disgusting unhygenic lazy slobs that I have to work with.

They don't like leaving milk in the canteen fridge, as they think it gets stolen. It does, by each other. So they use the fridge in the lab where the glue is stored.
When the milk goes out of date, they throw it in an old cardboard box, as they can't be bothered to find a bin.
When it is manky enough, it escapes from the bottle, and spills all over the carpet, where upon the lab stinks like vomit.
Not one of them will think of clearing it up. But then it is easy, as they don't have to go in there.

So yet again, muggins is doing the cleaning, or it will stink in here for weeks, as the cleaner is not allowed in here for HandS reasons.

Management here are weak. They won't give a stuff. Never do. Everyone knows it, so that is that. Very hard to get pulled up for anything here.
 
opening the recycling bin to put a bit of cardboard in and half the contents being sucked out by the strong wind and blown 100 yards down the garden:(
 
Another idiot I work with has this theory on the lottery:

Never pick 1 to 9, as they are single digit numbers. There are only 9 single digit numbers, while there are 41 double digit numbers. This makes it more likely that a double digit number will come out of the hat. You are therefore reducing your chances of winning if you pick a single digit number.

The same genious thinks if you buy 1 ticket it is 1 in 14m, but if you buy 2 tickets, that is 2 in 14m, which is 1 in 7m, so you have halved your odds.

Delivery vans breaking downs

These things happen of course but I had 4 different deliveries today , toilets , radiators, tiles and bathroom suites

It has to be the bathroom suites that break down

The only bit the plumbers want here lol (shower tray needs fitting before plasters start in loft

Should be here by 5 but plumbers have long gone
 
Borrowed the company van. Turning right across the empty bus lane, and a lane of stationary traffic. Some one lets me out, so I pull forward, look left, nothing coming in either lane, pull out, and flat out emergency stop. Flipping idiot on a scooter, going southbound, in the middle of the north bound lane. He stops, gives me the finger etc. Why is the idiot not in the bus lane where I can see him, and why is he completely on the wrong side of the road? Note, the bus lane is open to all traffic at this time.

Because scooters are mostly ridden by cretins who have never taken any sort of test and therefore feel they don't have to obey the rules of the road.
Don't get me started on Deliveroo drivers! :mad:
