Just checked my work email.

Someone asked me a favor, which is fine. He then invited me to "inbox him" with my reply.

Inbox me. I fear greatly for our civilization.

Taken from Urban Dictionary:

What people say when they are to ****ed in the head to know the difference between a message and where the message is stored.

It's either that, or he fancies you.

People that send you an email then walk over 2 seconds later and say "I've just sent you and email"

I know you have, I saw it flash up on the screen but I'm actually doing some work so haven't read it the split second you sent it.

People who send emails who sit next to you or nearby. I don't mind if they have attachments that you need to read or it is an important message or to cover their arse.

Multiple email chase ups. If the first two have worked then go over and stand by their desk and ask them the question or better still ask them in the first place rather than by email.

^^ absolutely (sh8t....doing a Don Goodman without even thinking). Had a lad who worked for me who would always ring to say "I've just sent you an email" yeah I know, it's in my inbox but its not priority. I'd also pull certain members of our team up on their reluctance / lack of common sense when emailing someone a simple question who is sat about a tennis ball throw away form them. Just go and ask them verbally....it's how we used to communicate before email and text were invented.

Usually they were graduates and whilst nothing at all against graduates generally, these were the types who considered themselves highly intelligent but lacked one iota of common sense and an ability to think for themselves.

Driving along, two lanes of traffic, left hand lane is to turn left at the junction and the right hand lane is for straight on, 90% of the traffic is turning left so is queuing in the left lane, you can bet your life that some dickhead will be driving down the right hand lane knowing full well that he is going to turn left and puts on his left indicator at the last minute and tries to cut in.
Now there are two things here
1. The reason there is a queue in the first place is because arseholes like you are trying to cut in at the last minute causing the queue even though you know its wrong and you think you are above everybody else.
2. The absolute idiot that lets them in!!!, im driving within a fag paper of the car in front, no way im letting you in under any circumstance, as far as im concerned you can sit out there all day for being a tosser.

Its about time the police started getting out on the beat and not hiding behind speed cameras and start dishing out points and fines for inconsiderate driving for people that do this on a daily basis

My missus rings my phone and I miss the call due to a meeting or taking a crap or whatever. I check the phone later to see a missed call from my missus. Then my phone indicates I have a new voice mail message from my missus. I check the message and she says " it's only me can you ring me when you get this message"

ffs I KNOW it's only you I have a missed call from you, why couldn't you just TELL me what you wanted to tell me in the MESSAGE.

I now have to ring her back to find out what she wanted to tell me and it is something like " we need some milk" or whatever. She could have told me that in the message :x

That is them having a huge strop that you didn't deem them important enough to answer on the very first ring.

I mentioned the same thing a few pages back...it pisses me off big time. Like you, I stick as close as possible to the car in front but there is always some numpty who lets them in and once one does it and gets away with it, others will follow.

Why does the wife ring me up at work to tell what she has been doing all day or what she is going to do?

Do I care....really.....if she has been to shop or going shopping.

She rings me up at 9am and asks what I want for dinner. Now I have another 7 hours a work to make decisions far more important than what I want for dinner. Just cook something, I will eat it.

Recruitment Consultants - Ring you up with a fantastic job offer, your a really good fit from your CV...let me send your details blah blah blah and then ........... nothing. Them seem alarmed that I ring them back up to find out what came of the role. All chances the lot of them....only worried about commission at the end of the month.

Recently had an interview lined up but was then cancelled due to budget constraints....then got called to say it way back on..went to the interview, got through that one and waiting for the 2nd interview only to find that the role had been pulled again. In the mean time I got offerred another role all within the space of two weeks, off my own back via LinkedIn
