When not dating, noone takes notice of you at all and finding something at all is piss hard. Now, when dating, and you go to the club with your mates, girls notice you all of the sudden, and makes shameful proposals. Had a chance at spending the night with two damn nice looking girls. ButNOOOO. Curses

That's because you've got mroe confidence and don't try to oogle girls that much. Act like you're spoken for normally and you're kneedeep in leather whip and whippedcream suggestions.

People who come up to you at work, while you clearly working on something else and say "sorry I know you're busy but..." and expect you to just drop everything and do their thing. If you already know I'm busy why not use some common sense and FUCK OFF.

Because their shit is more important than your shit. Obviously.

There is a variation on that theme.

It's my own mistake, but I used to eat lunch at my desk, with a newspaper, with my headphones in. A wild colleague would appear, make the "take your headphones out gesture" and say "oh, are you on your lunch?".

Now, this would be 12:15pm, my newspaper was open, I'd have my mouth full of sandwich and my iPod plugged it. TAKE A GUESS SHERLOCK.

Being a nice guy, id say "yes but if it's quick...", spraying sandwich at the same time to which they'd say "yeah just a really really quick question". Thirty minutes would go by.

I've stopped eating lunch at my desk. Other colleagues who have the same opinion go and sit in their cars at lunch because some people are just plain ignorant.

I do that a lot but in my defence there are people who are barely ever at their desks/ people who sit all day with their headphones on yet feel free to bother me when they choose / people who are nearly full time internet surfers/ managers/beurocrats none of whom I feel deserve to be left alone :p

I get this a lot but I compensate by taking long lunches down local restaurants - I actually put in a recurring meeting for my lunch hour but fuckers still just book over it without apology :(

That's actually far more annoying to me. Fuckers who don't know how to use Outlook properly and schedule meetings without checking.

Also extremely irritating.

"I can't see your calendar!" - you fucking can, create the meeting invite, put said colleagues in, click on "scheduling" tab.

SEE WHERE THERE IS NO BLUE LINE?

People who start work emails with:

'I dont know if Ive told you this already.....'

You fucking do know, you know you fucking haven't. You've left it until the last minute because you were avoiding the issue you massive, fucking, dribbling cunt.

I generally don't get a lunch hour. Even if I put myself out to lunch on the phone/email, people still walk around to my desk to ask me stuff.

Criminals get a whole hour for lunch. If you're not getting an hour, you're doing it wrong.

The thing is if I looked at my contract I'm sure it says I officially have an hour for lunch....but nobody where I work bar maybe the executive producers/higher up corporate types actually take it.

My contract says I get half an hour. I probably make up for it with ciggie breaks but I am usually discussing stuff with people then too.

FNAAAARRRRRR

I'm the only designer working on two magazines, plus a bunch of other 'ad hoc' projects so I'm constantly at full throttle (which I like) but honestly this specific thing happens so much that I've actually been close to screaming.

Exactly the same thing happens to me.

I just go outside now.

Going on holiday and having sunbeds that won't go flat so you can't lie on your stomach and read.

Americans who have never ever seen a topless woman on a beach.

Bloody banks who for no reason, after years of doing it, won't post your debit card. And when you ring them, ask you inane questions you don't know the answer to so they block your account!

Import Duty, suck my fucking dick. Anything being bought from outside the EU being hit with a VAT charge if it is valued at over £15, and then the cunting Royal Mail sticking a £8 handling fee on it.

So I buy a tee from the US that costs $26, which is about £16, and now I've got to pay a charge of £11 just to receive it.

thats what fucks me off - VAT is annoying but you can allow for it, those cunts charging that much is taking the piss, all they do is stick a fucking post-it note on it and stick a postcard through your door
