You don't like the coffee? Well, it is from a macine and costs you just 25p, would you rather we bought you a coffee maker so you could freshly brew your own

It's true, there's one that whinges that it's not a patch on Starbuck's without thinking that it's a tenth of the price at least and is made by dribbling hot water on some powder in a plastic cup.Tell them to bring in a cafetiere and a bag of ground coffee that they actually enjoy, and STFU!

I am tempted! There are 3 kettles in the canteen so some do make their own. Some folk just like to whinge just for the sake of it

This made me smile. We get the same thing at work, but work provide free teabags, free coffee, free hot chocolate along with free milk and free sugar and a constant supply of (free) boiling water to brew up with but a couple of people still moan that they don't rate the hot drinks.
They're free and no-one is forcing you to drink them!

We've got a free coffee machine at work (Douwe Egberts filter, tea, soup, cappuccino). Most people prefer to walk up two flights of stairs and pay a couple of pounds in the canteen.

Let me get this right. You don't want us to do workset A and only do workset B (woohoo!)
So who will do worksheet A?
Well, you will do it but only when the customer complains.
Ok so when I don't do workset A and the customer complains, then I should do workset A. But then who will do workset B?
Well, you can do that when the customer is not complaining about workset A.
Alright, so you really want me to do both workset A and B and ensure the customer doesn't complain ?
Yes, but we won't make that official.
So when will I have time to do both of these workset?
You can do that during your oncall rota.
But oncall is only for emergencies.
That's great that we talked about this.
Yeah, we talked about this, but I'm just as confused as before we talked about this.
That's great, always awesome to talk with you.
I don't really understand.
Well, you really need to start going the extra mile.
You're a feckin idiot.

Not surprised if you make soup in the coffee machine
" A minestrone chai latte please "
And I will be making a not so little complaint about you too, you ignorant twonk of a customer.
He accused me of laughing - which I hadn't, and was most aggrieved at having had more than one puncture which was clearly my fault, but he didn't want to bring the bike back. Erm, exactly how am I going to help you then?!

"This call may be recorded forAnd now the CCG that you gave the advice to is having to backtrack.
Apparently you want them to ring you to discuss the matter, rather than responding via email as you usually do. I suppose admitting you're wrong on the phone doesn't leave an audit trail...

No sod off Mrs May, I don't want your Brexit and if by some miracle it isn't as bad as I think it'll be then it's not because of your efforts but of blind chance.
It's not the 1940s and you're not Churchill.

I may have many hidden talents and a wide variety of skills. Sadly that does not include looking down the telephone cables into your house and seeing the document that you have received. I have absolutely no clue what you are talking about, and anyway the deadline for this absolutely most definitely urgent action is the end of May. You do know it is not yet the end of January, don't you?
I have asked you three times now to send me a photocopy of the document, or scan it and attach it to an email. My apologies, I forgot that you do not know how to use any one of the three scanners that you possess.
Ask your next door neighbour to photocopy it and post it to me. He owns a Post Office, so I do not think this will be too onerous a task for him.
