Default Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

My train company waiting until we had just left Stratford to tell us there were delays ahead of up to an hour to go the mile and a half to Liverpool St due to the tattoos being hot and waiting for an inspection. Firstly, why not make rails of something other than chocolate. Secondly, why not tell us before Stratford so we can get off and get the tube into Liverpool St or the overland to Finchley. Greater Anglia are useless.

Default Gripe of the day - What is yours?

It's awful when the tattoos get hot. It makes me all sweaty.

Colleagues (who work on other teams) that think it's somehow okay to modify the source content of software installation packages with asking/telling the people who actually are responsible for said software. They don't even work with the system they are messing with

The cats have been hot and bothered for 5 days. But this doesn't give them an excuse to kill a bird and fill the conservatory with a corpse, blood and feathers.

They were so pleased with themselves they were asking for treats as a reward.

I did actually give them a plate of sliced chicken.

Stu dropped his bike on the drive last night in front of one if the cats.

This morning as he came up the stairs the cat just randomly launched himself off the ironing board with such force the whole thing went crashing over and the iron went flying across the room. It's almost as if he was trying to show that anything Stu can do, he can do better. The cat then came belting into the bedroom all pleased with himself. He's bonkers.

Customers phoning at almost 10pm for a non emergency
"hello is that the plumber?"
Yes
"My shower is leaking"
Ok
"It looks like it's leaking from the edge of the shower head"
Call tomorrow in working hours
"Oh ok"
