@Nexus_6 Yeah, I've had the "weirdly personal comments on my appearance" thing from them before as well (receeding hairline in my case). Fuck knows why they think I'm more likely to donate if they do that.

Or, more likely, they're just fucked off with a shit job and have decided to be cunts about it.

How receeding are we talking here, is it almost joining the bald spot or just looks like you put your gmhair in the tumble dryer for a bit too long?

@senso-ji My chavvy counsin's braindead husband is a flat-earther. It's not like there's any shortage of curvature-of-the-earth photos from Concorde back when it was still flying.

Still, who am I to argue with a guy who's done prison time for a particularly shitwitted bit of drink-driving.

@Frogofdoom Eh... no bald spot for it to join up with, but if there was, it'd be almost there. I'm still debating when to just say "fuck it" and have it all shaved off, rather than become one of those sad bastards with a comb-over.

Yeah get rid I reckon, or pop off to Turkey and get yourself a magnificent head of hair for a few grand.

I look at mine sometimes, it's alright for now but give it 5 years I reckon and its getting shaved off.

LinkedIn. It used to be a hunting ground for recruiters, now it's that AND a place for smug cunts to show off how woke they are.

"I gave an interview yesterday and the candidate was obviously nervous. I calmed them down by offering them three lines of coke. Once they had snorted it and we had a few syringes of Heroin together (no needles shared thanks to our needle exchange scheme we have, along with childcare vouchers #employeebenefits), we discussed about our families which I forgot I'm not allowed to do, but I forget that because we all bring our children into the office and smoke crack with them every Thursday. I gave the candidate the job of Junior Vice President even though the last job they had was a novelty hat salesperson they had just come out of prison for murdering babies, the candidate was so happy that they spontaneosuly combusted and I immediately urinated on them. #superfloushashtag #anothertuesdayatshittyco"

Is that what woke is?

I've maligned wokeness a bit. Woke means social justice. I guess what these guys are trying to show is just how progressive and tolerant they are - they want to show that they're management 2.0 or something. If you have to shout so loudly about how awesome you are the likelihood is that you're a pretty shitty person.

Deleted user 18 July 2019 16:45:51

Management 2.0 out of 10.0 more like.

Deleted user 18 July 2019 16:51:42

@nudistpete Is that a legitimate quote? Sounds like a Babyshambles Nathan Barley cross over skit.

Naah, it's a somewhat embellished amalgamation of most of the shit I've read on there the past few weeks. I haven't seen anyone openly advocating drug use.

Sorry, being thick. Blame it on being tired. The hash tags should have given it away

I've seen posts on Linkedin and how "great person the interviewer thinks he or she is". Its really a load of bullshit to make them look good on linkedin aka then everyone clapped sort of bullshit

I saw one from someone I use to work with and he is complete cunt and would never pay for someone to get a taxi home as the interviewee was hit by another cyclist and his bike got fucked up

Yeah +1 for LinkedIn. The profiles on there strike me as even more fake than the Instagram crowd, only in a specific "look how professional and motivated I am" sort of way.

Any recruiter thinking they're getting any remotely accurate information about candidates on there need their heads examined

The David Walliams voiced announcement that's played just when you leave a station on Virgin Trains. The fake 'ahhhh' at the end is the worst bit.
Please fuck off.

Old people that think they have a God given right to jump the bus queue.

The first joined at the front and looked like she was trying to get on but hung back when she realised no one was going to let her skip. The second one pushed in from behind completely oblivious to the fact the driver was chatting/changing over and people were waiting. The last two appeared out of nowhere at the side of the bus and again attempted to get on utterly unaware people were waiting.

Fucking unbelievable.

@QBX I remember last year, some woman in - I would guess - her mid 60s jumped the queue in front of me in Starbucks. I did actually say "sorry, I was here first" and she just said "don't have time to wait".

Being a nasty bastard and suspecting that she'd be sensitive about her age, I just signed, nodded to the barrista (I'm a regular in that branch) and said "old people these days, eh?".

Wouldn't a response like "Looks like you don't have much time left to wait" have been much more cutting?

@minky-kong Yes, but you never think of the best lines at the time.

People saying "long story short", then giving you the long one anyway.

People looking at their phones while driving. Mental how often I see this. They think they're being subtle by holding the phone down in their lap but it looks obvious AND makes it even more dangerous. People who do this are absolute fucking scum.

@Nanocrystal Yes, tell me about it. I'm just back from the US... Florida has only just outlawed texting while driving - being a cunt on your phone by any other means is still legal there and you see some godawful driving as a result.

Still, the worst I've seen out there was a couple of years ago. Creeping along in very heavy traffic at around 15mph or so (and stopping a fair bit as well). Gradually notice via my mirror that the guy in the car behind me, who is a good contender for the title of "fattest bastard in Florida" (seriously, there's competition), is balancing an entire steak-and-chips meal on top of his ample gut and eating it - with a knife and fork - while driving.

Changed lanes in a hurry... if that thing had gone into the back of the car, I think I'd have ended up squashed flat.

Deleted user 19 July 2019 19:49:02

@Nanocrystal you can also tell when the traffic starts moving and the person takes ages to get going.

People playing their shitty choice of music in their gardens without any thought for their neighbours trying to relax in the nice weather.

There is an advert on TV, but I forget whom it is for. It is for an outdoor adventure company, and it extols the virtues of outdoors activities and exercise but it is done purely in CGI. I cannot imagine it would have been cheaper to make. But it would have made more sense to show people doing the actual things that they talk about.

Or on the beach. Or in the park. Or any public place really.

It's always shit speakers, too, with the volume on slightly too loud. Even if you wanted to enjoy the music, you couldn't.

Almost as scummy as those cunts who walk around with tinny music blaring out of their phones (which should be a diagnostic criterion for mental illness IMO)

Edit: it reminds me of a group of tourists I once ran into on a hike in Italy. These people were hiking in one of the most beautiful and serene places in the Mediterranean, surrounded by the soft rumble of crashing surf and the gentle singing of birds, only to ruin it with inexplicable technopop that was on so loud it got garbled and distorted. Just why????
