An obvious 'hate' .........answering the phone only to find silence then the raucous sound of a call centre.
Especially dislike callers, 'trying to sell stuff' who open the conversation like we are best mates.

Not a big gripe, but I dislike this nonetheless:

If someone has to fill a couple of forms in and they form the impression that the questions on the two documents are similar or repetitious, they claim loudly that the whole process in Kafkaesque.

Similarly, people who find themselves rolling, pupate on the floor in the midst of a process of transformation into an insect can often think of nothing more original to say than "My God, this is some Kafkaesque nightmare!"

In both cases, there must surely be better, more unique, more (if you will) iconic statements to make.

I haven't said this before and it might be difficult, but here goes: Kafkaesque? Schmafkaesque!

No offence Bomiester, but you are a nutter. Simple as. End of.

That sounds really bad! The din of the workplace can be really draining and to only have the option of going to another place (where you are supposed to be able to rest) that is also pumping out a din is surely counterproductive.


I have triumphed over corporate stupidity with one of these... (£3.59 inc postage)

Works a flippin' treat, even from the far end of the room about 15 metres away.

Now it's a quick point & press to restore peace and quiet, and all the tv zombies look at each other with bemused faces. I love it!

People who confuse the factual and the metaphorical make my head literally explode.

People at the counter in garages when they ask me if I've got any fuel when I've arrived by bike and I'm wearing my cycling kit including a cycle helmet.
I used to work in a garage and we were told to ask everyone if they had fuel even and I quote "Lycra clad cyclists with clicky shoes and helmets on" because aparently there was a spate of people driving off without paying, when it was checked on CCTV the car would drive in drop the passenger (dressed as a cyclist) round the back, they'd drive to the pump, fill up while the apparent cyclist buys a bottle of water not asked if they had fuel for obvious reasons. Meanwhile the car on the pumps pulls out of view of the cameras and waits for their passenger then drive off!!

So what's to stop the lycra-clad accomplice saying 'No'?

Can't trust those pesky trick cyclists.
