Irrational things that annoy you (and non irrational things too come to think of it) - Page 278

Can't stand anything remotely porridge like, mainly because I have no sense of taste (literally for those who don't know) and so I like or dislike food based on textures, so to me its just like eating something lumpy and slimey which is orrible (sorry all you porridge lovers!)

Todays annoyance (like most days if I'm honest) is people in charge who know NOTHING about ANYTHING. I had to sit down in my 1-1 with my boss the other day and explain to him how to set relevant objectives, and then how to make the targets smart.

And then he proposed that we spend ~£150k on a system because it covered a specific area that the client had requested a solution for. I asked if the client would utilise the entire system he was proposing as we could meet the clients specific need for less than £10k. He then shrugged and said "I don't know.... how do I find out?"

FFS this guy gets paid nearly twice what I do, and I not only have to do my job, but tell him how to do his as well!

I dislike that too vol! In the police and a non-copper who knows nothing about the organisation gets brought in to people manage a unit which requires years worth of training to get into... what a stupid thing to do!

On the Redybrek note... not had any since I was at Uni... only have porridge in the morning now

But I do remember liking the wall paper paste like bowl of warmth!

Me when I'm drunk. I have a big mouth and I can't shut up.

Jonny when he's drunk. He has a big mouth and can't shut up.

On a more sensible note...

In a supermarket people who, when confronted with a full conveyor belt, start piling their shopping up on the little space (for baskets?) at the end of the conveyor belt.

Taps where you can't tell which is hot/cold.

Just in case that makes me hate you less

Taps where in some parts of the building the hot is on one side and in other parts of the building it's on the other side. I thought, legally, the hot tap HAD to be on the left so that the blind know what side to use

Dunno about legalities of tap placement but my plumber says that at least when installing baths the hot is furthest from the edge of the bath to hopefully prevent small children from hurting themselves
