Minor Rant Thread part 7

[Glutton4...]

Rant about colleague...again, sorry but she's going my head in ...... I don't know if I can stand another 4 hours without going for her throat.

Just go for it, mate.

[Glutton4...]

Oh, rant, erm, yes...

Cold, innit!?

[bramble]

People using mobile phones while driving and nearly running you off the road because they have only one hand on the wheel.
I am so sick of looking at this. I drive a lot and it never ceases to amaze me how many people do this and get away with it.

[Plot10]

Now she's sat down with The Scum, reading me out the details of Jordan's latest wedding.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!

Run 'em off the road! Have a chum at the stables that does it, and I've told her next time, I'll put her in the ditch!

Just TELL Her! Then she'll sulk, won't speak to you, you won't have to keep helping her, and you can do your job in peace. Simples!

Rant about colleague...again, sorry but she's going my head in.

She's worked there 18 months longer than me so why do I have to drop everything 3 times in 10 minutes to help her raise a basic purchase order and she still can't get it to work. The I get it thrown back in my face because I didn't tell her to click in one box (because I thought it was obvious) and so it's my fault.

She needs a "written procedure" before she can do anything. The suggestion that you can fiddle with something till you work it out for yourself (my general approach to most things) is met with "Well, I don't work like that!"

She never listens to anything that doesn't directly involve herself so telling her that the reason something isn't working or why she gets picked up for doing something wrong is met with "Well, I didn't know that!" That's 'cos you DON'T LISTEN FFS.

I'm getting so fed up with the constant "I've got so much to do, I can't keep track etc" whinges and the thinly veiled barbs that she thinks I'm not pulling my weight. (I am and some of hers as well). Never ending moans about our line manager, who to be fair is a bit of a control freak but is a rank amateur compared to some I've worked with (10 years in Local Government) so I don't let it get to me.

I thought I was going to get an hours peace there but Oh, no she went to the shop and came back to the office. I don't know if I can stand another 4 hours without going for her throat.

'What did you do last time you raise a purchase order, try doing that?'
'You've been here 18 months longer than me, why are you asking me?'
'What do your notes say about this, I've written it all down and can't remember myself?'
'If you don't work like that why don't you write it all down in future'
then
'If you'd written it down like I suggested on 18th Jan 2013, perhaps you wouldn't get yourself into a muddle'
'You would know about it if you listened, I think you need to go and see the boss to get it refreshed in your mind'.

Or always my favourite; 'That's nice'.

My Rant: printers and ink from supposed unbranded companies. Nuff said. New printer ordered. Grrr....

[Nicos]

A very minor rant in comparison to others.....

just spent 30 mins looking for a chunk of chocolate I'd seen in the utility room ( well- it ended up me cleaning and scrubbing shelves at the same time)

question to OH....

" have you seen that chunk of chocolate in here- I need it for my baking?"

reply ...." yes" ...( no eye contact and a slight smirk)

So why didn't he tell me when I started looking- I'd told him I was putting choccie on the top of the buns- at his request!

...at least I got some cleaning done

'If you don't work like that why don't you write it all down in future'

She writes EVERYTHING down, whereas I don't bother unless it's particularly complicated, which is one of the things that annoys her about me.

I think her brain is full of little compartments with everything in its place and she can't cope if the thing she needs isn't there and anything that doesn't fit in a box gets discarded. Whereas my brain is like my handbag - everythings just chucked in there but if I need something I just rummage about a bit till I find it, which I always do. (I bet her handbag doesn't contain seeds, string and a multi-tool).

Chatting, sorry (not really)

I'd just refer her to her notes in future; it's not your job to do her job all the time!

Always always wander round with a piece of paper or folder in your hand and never ever stop as you are so busy doing your job.

[VirginVegGrower]

Lazy neighbours who have never gritted the lane in years and then bad mouth Mr VVG as we sit in the car behind the fat lazy troll*p who has got stuck in a front wheel drive with all the others dancing attendance gritting round her. All can get stuffed and learn what it's like to do it every year from here on in.

[greenishfing]

Lazy, airheaded young, fit woman who thinks that batting her eyelashes at my husband and talking in a little girl voice will get her messy jobs done for free (cleaning out u-bend on sink) so that she won't chip her nail polish or get dirty........................ (This I might add has worked in the past for her.)
Mind you husband is learning! He told her that I do those jobs far better than him as he's got arthritus and he's sure I'll explain to her how to do it.

Blummin' squirrel seems to have learnt how to travel along the washing line and nick the fat balls hanging off it .........greedy fat tree rat

So, cuff her hard around the ear, and dislodge the contents ...

Could try some of my personal favourites:

I'm sorry, you seem to have confused me with someone that gives a sh*t.

If I throw a stick, will you go away?

You're not sure what the next step in the process is? Well, try asking yourself 'what would the Lone Ranger do'?

Only Father Christmas cares what you want dear. I'm telling you how things are going to be.
