Davkaus Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Went to the office for the first time in about a year today, and some dickhead spent the whole day sniffing but not clearing his nose. Was ready to tableflip by about 09:03. Never again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 People faffing about on trains. Get on train... sit down... stand up and take coat off.... put coat on overhead rack.... take book out of bag... put bag on overhead rack... sit down... stand up and retrieve apple from aforementioned bag... sit down... 7 MINUTES later the train pulls into New Street and the reverse faff starts. Just sit the **** down, stare ahead into the middle distance and shut your cake hole. Like me. It's not an airplane you cretin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone had a bag of crisps at the desk next to me once and I was ready to stab him in the face with a bic biro. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same on flights. **** me right off, every 5 minutes getting the bags down from the over head storage to get 1 thing out over and over and over again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d make everything go in the hold you're allowed one book , one packet of sport mix and a bottle of Pepsi max … anything else gets confiscated Headphones are banned due to those clearings in the woods who don’t even have the courtesy to take them off when the stewards come around and ask them if they want a drink or snack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I managed to fly for the first time with just my phone, headphones, bank card and passport, no bag, no jacket, it's a weirdly brilliant feeling Failing that I usually fly with a bag small enough to go under my seat and then maybe a carrier bag with stuff I know ill want for the flight like my switch or a snack or something and that goes under the seat - if you're flying with ass holes like Ryanair get yourself a boots, smiths or even better an old duty free bag, they've never bothered me carrying one of them on as my second hand luggage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Had a lazy week this week with work, just stopped at home working when I should have gone out, thought I'd leave it until today, go round a couple of sites all together. Unfortunately feel like shit today with the man flu, always happens when I'm bogged down with stuff to do, still gotta go, I'll have to fill up with paracetamol.

They ask in the general direction of each row, and the ones who want something will certainly make it known to them. They don't need 160 individual responses to their question. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
