Then to make it worse, having thought I'd lucked in to two seats to myself, some old boy who looked like he'd not washed in months and stank to high heaven got on last and claimed the seat next to me. As if that weren't bad enough, he then started the whole elbow game. At the end of the flight, he shouted at me to move out of the way so he could get his back out of the overhead. I had literally nowhere to go and upon politely explaining that to him, was subjected to a barrage of abuse. I hate early morning flights. I feel your pain. The modicum of joy there was in traveling disappeared years ago. It's such a chore. Living in a yurt and never leaving is very appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be even worse at the moment, since we voted to leave behind the unelected elite in Brussels. Look at this pair of dangers outside a hospital today.

Its probably the one place where everyone has to go and you really do get to see some of the dregs of society, there really are some very weird people about. Sunday morning as soon as it opens is bearable I once had to collect something for my Mom at the Asda in Minworth on a Saturday afternoon. Never again. The people in there wouldn't be allowed into the Mos Eisley Cantina. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted April 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 23, 2018 A director from work just texted me and asked me to call some other bloke from work to sort out some issue before tomorrow morning. This is despite us having 2 weeks to sort the issue and me asking the director every other day what he wanted me to do about it and getting no answer. How do you tell a senior member of staff to **** off without getting sacked? Asking for a friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted April 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 23, 2018 It's the same scenario as the supermarket moan discussed earlier. Economy v business, Asda v Waitrose - you are simply exchanging one type of clearing in the woods for another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
