Somewhat on the opposite end of Carolyns post above... Following a recent holiday I had some munchies that I'd bought for the journey left over - a bag of M&M's and some Cadbury Eclairs. I resisted temptation to scoff them myself and brought them into work for the office to share. The amount of moaning that went on about what was brought in was irritating. I mean, fine, if you don't like something then don't eat it but don't moan at the person who brought it in just because it's not to your taste. Alternatively just [LIFTED] the [LIFTED] off.

Wowser, what a bunch a arseholes. I don't think I've ever encountered an office where people were like that either, all food offerings went straight down the hatch.

There's some kind of rule in place that you're supposed to have at least two people in the office at all times, to cover phones and customer inquiries, etc.
At least that's what I've been told when I need to go on site for whatever reason and my manager doesn't want me to go out.
This is the second day running that I'm the only person in the office so, yet again, it seems there's one rule for them and another rule for me.
This also looks like it may be the second day running that I don't get to stop for a break.
I am going home at four on the dot today, and if nobody else is back in the office then tough.
It's [LIFTED] like this that makes me think of starting a new hobby... like smoking!

Noisy pillocks who eventually get their own office (just so the rest of us can think straight), and think that means they can fart with gay abandon and the stench will never reach out into the corridor and mug anyone passing by. Every f***ing day!
Probably some causal link to the fact that he eats microwaved supermarket value steak and kidney pies for breakfast, at his desk. Pervert.

In one place where I worked, someone. Would bring in a six packs of cheap supermarket pies or pasties every day. He's just eat through the pack throughout the day.

I have been known to consume vast quantities of food during a working day, when particularly stressed or bored, but never supermarket pastry products, they're all god-awful [LIFTED].

They've never heard of pies in Germany...
My colleague can't type. He works on the help desk and types with one finger! Gah!
You ask him where the ticket is for the question he answered half an hour ago, because you have a similar problem and he hasn't even started it. He generally stores the days tickets up and posts them all after 5...

There's a good reason for me to never visit Germany. Mark

Perhaps not meat pies, but they certainly make pies. My mate's mother has gathered a whole host of sweet pie recipes from her neighbours in Germany.

Turn up late when they're replacing you on a twenty four hour service. You can't go until they arrive. I've only ever had a problem with one bloke doing that, but he did it all the time

They don't even really have a word for it. Just like they don't know what a parsnip is and don't have a word for it. They use the russian word "Pastinak"

Basic decent human stuff.
Not washing up after they've eaten lunch Driving the wrong way around the car-park Using loo paper to dry their hands and then leaving it all over the sides Spilling drinks and just leaving the mess on the floor Eating hot food at their desks and stinking up the entire floor Printing off reams of stuff and just leaving it by the printer Being incapable of planning ahead and then making it my problem Leaving a mess when they've finished in a meeting room, leaving dirty cups on the table and stuff on the walls etc.
I could (and have) gone on and on!!
