Little things that irritate you

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

Firstly, ouch! Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Question: what does US mean in this context?

Thought you'd been a bit quiet lately, Tenbury.
It's no good, the SAS enrolement may have to wait, for a while...
Hope you're feeling a bit better now.

Thanks everyone. (U/S, unservicable, motorbike vs. jag door....I lost )

Currently holed up in the town community hospital, on morphine and lactulose. (Neither work very well!)
Expect an overdose of my drivel till Autumn at least.

These are driving me insane at the minute, not even by people I would expect them from either, people participating in them would probably consider themselves "reasonably clever", uni educated etc.

A colleague who’s “worked” from home for the past 5 years, without ever actually getting agreement from work. One of the benefits of having our bosses in the US and the company firing them every 12 months or so.

Wouldn’t actually mind, but his absence numbers are ridiculous. Either he’s ill or his wife’s ill or his kids are ill or his dads ill or whatever. He has at least 1 absence day per week, sometimes more. Today’s excuse is that he has “back pain/spasm”. You’re at home all day FFS. Sure it won’t stop him doing the school run or taking his kids to the park.

People that lie on there to stir **** up, which is then shared by people who are usually quite intelligent:
No one has been banned for displaying a picture of an "offensive" bacon sandwich, no one has been arrested for wearing an England shirt.
Why do people feel the need to generate fake victimhood? It's not like they're even scousers........

There’s a fella in work who’s been doing this sort of thing for the past 8 or so years. He really has become “Employee 000 - The Forgotten Employee”* He’s managed to get his job description down to supporting a single application which is hardly used and even then, rarely goes wrong. It did go wrong once and was down for four days. He was nowhere to be seen but still got away with it. He’s NEVER in the office and rumour has it that his golf handicap has improved no end at all. Anyway, he’s been gladly picking up his wages for nigh on eight years and nobody is none the wiser. There’s people who’ve started here and left and never even knew of his existence. Half of me admires his pure guile and the zero ****'s he gives and I often wonder would I have the front to do this.

"Employee 000"? Nothing salient coming up on my searches? Can you post a link?
