Dog owners who expect you to love their "little darlings" too as they jump up at you with muddy paws or scratch your legs to **** if you're wearing shorts. My ****ing cats. The mouse that was running around my bedroom at 3am this morning (brought in by one of the ****ing cats). Shop assistants who never say please or thank you. Noisy kids. Noisy teenagers. Moody teenagers. Tailgaters. Sarcastic teenagers. Workmen who expect tea every 5 mins. Yapping dogs. Owners of yapping dogs who do nothing to stop them ****ing yapping. Getting old!!
I don't expect anything, but if you're going to offer it do it properly or not at all!! And most OCW's get offended when you bring your own kettle in 4 hours later to make another one, all the while they've made themselves countless other teas/coffees!! If you're such a tight arse col, that 10p's worth of teabags breaks you out in a sweat I hope you never ask for my services! It's not just about tradesmen either. It's about common decency and manners when people are in your house to offer a drink/drinks dependant on time there. I'll never understand that....
See................you EXPECT it!! Ridiculous. Bring a flask!! I always offer workmen (or any visitor to the house) a drink, but some (like you) expect offers of tea all day long. Get on with the job!!
No mention of the N word? as for lane cutters, I saw a great clip of someone doing it on the hard shoulder and then riding up an Armco barrier. karma did spring to mind.
That's fine. It's not the same as that same plumber complaining that he's not being fed and watered every 5 mins!
I know. If I was a workman I wouldn't expect on the hour every hour service but if you aren't going to let them make their own surely it's courteous to offer, say, one every 2-3 hours.
People who hate their own country. People that think if you love your country, you MUST be a racist. Political correctness.
I knew it, a tight arse!! Mean spirited tight arse!! Any idiot knows that the better you treat a workman, the more he is willing to do for you! He'll often do stuff for free that he should be charging for!!
Absolutely. It's the expectation of being constantly fed and watered that does my head in............see Soopermack!!
You're spot on Watford, only col has brought up the every 5min thing on here. I'm usually on site 8.30am to 6.30pm. Is 3 cups in 10hrs gonna kill a customer?
I knew it, tight arse. Probably one of those "oh why you're here you couldn't look at this as well could you for free" customer! P*ss taker type, not a doubt in my mind....
People that take offence at what they want you to have said or believe rather than what you actually did say or believe because that suits their own prejudices.
I always provide blokes working in my house tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits, cocaine anything they want. I see it as a form of insurance. I have even been nice to the blokes taking a century to renovate the house over the road, moving my car without swearing to help their access. I was rewarded with six bottles of wine at Christmas from the owner of the company doing the work. Decent stuff too. For a cynical miserable old git like me a salutary lesson that being angry a lot of the time may not be the best policy.
People who walk up to the ticket barriers and only then deciding to start rummaging in their bag for their oyster. You've actively set out to get on a train it can hardly of taken you be surprise!
Ditto women (99 times out of 100) who get to a till and then realise they actually have to pay for their goods and spend two minutes rummaging for their purse in the middle of the Narnia that exists in their massive handbag.
And doesn't stand to the side while searching forever, so you can complete your 5 second military like manly transaction.....
