People That Piss You Off

[Leesoh]

They were the bane of my life!!

 

[Cate Fox]

We dont have any of that bollocks, just a Finance Manager with an obsession for writing procedures. She's probably working on the one to go to the "comfort station" as I type... grrrrr.....

 

[Steven]

People who chair a meeting or training who tell you at the start where the 'comfort station' is. FFS why not just say toilet, lavatory, bog, shitter. Christ almighty, are there really people out there who are so sensitive and delicate that they can't use or hear the proper words.
This really annoyed me at a meeting today.

The rise and rise of Victorian values. :icon_wink

Its much easier when there are no set procedures

 

[lazzer]

it's all abbreviations now. KPIs are alive and kicking

Only now it's a KPI Deck.

 

[Mawsley]

I would have thrown something at the offender. This also applies to anyone who says any of the following non-words or phrases:

guesstimate
laxadasical
green shoots
outside the box

Call it what you want - but if you've got green shoots outside the box during your comfort break then you need a damn doctor.

This one came up as well today

 

[LS6_Fox]

KPIs, BSC, welcome to my world!

 

[Siouxsie]

on the news they have just said an idea is "dead in the water"

why water?



Apparantly you're not allowed to "brain storm" anymore as it is offensive.

I fancied Dusseldorf, having lived there for a while I've still got friends I could stay with.

[fosseboy83]

The site wont let me load the sustainability KPIs or P2P KPIs spreadsheets that came round, they truely are a game of wank-word bingo!

 

[beaumontfox]

I'm not pissed off at German sites any more, everyone who wanted tickets got them so all is good!

Can we run that one up the flagpole and see who salutes?

Shove it up your bollocks.

Much better phrase.

 

[Macky]

Shove it up your bollocks.

Much better phrase.

"Stop talking like ****s" is my favourite attention grabbing phrase during a meeting.

Sometimes when I walk through the canteen, I hear people saying "there's that fellah that always says 'Stop talking like ****s' when he's in a meeting.
It sounds like that's what they're saying anyway.

About three years ago I was in a meeting with the director of the company I was working for at the time. He said things like 'green shoots' and 'moving forward together'. He also mentioned 'launching an attack' on a competitor. Then about four months later, after allowing us to change precisely **** all of the million things that desperately needed changing, he announced that the branch was closing and everybody would consequently be made redundant.

****.
