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.

Never! They can even see the look of excitement in themselves if you wrap it the right way

Why is not a legal requirement for anyone in a senior management position to have the faintest idea of what information they will need to do their jobs any more than 24 hours before it is needed?

"Can you please drop everything and get me this completely new set of data by 4pm?"
"4pm today?"
"Yep"

Two days later:
"Was the data ok?"
"Oh, we didn't need it in the end"

Without a doubt it has to be "the right way"

Silver post-its could work but still needs some careful placing to ensure no gaps can give it away

I truly believe that the Peter principle is valid in most companies large enough to have some sort of hierarchy

Close allies of people who insist on having their breakfast at work, at their desks, using most of the available milk in the process.

Eat before you come into work, FFS!

Why do blokes that have had a vasectomy always want to tell people about it?

I've noticed that Das.
I've always assumed they're hoping any females that overhear will know that they're now a safe shag.

Maybe because it involves nut sacks and b*llocks?

Would appear to be the reason. Not sure why having one's gonads chopped off is something you'd want to share.

I was in my garden at 6 this morning trying to sort where every thing had gone, on a plus side, fences were all good. On a country road to work, trampoline stopped my progress, you ever tried to move a trampoline by yourself in a gusty wind, it was a comedy sketch for others looking on, not for me.

Second time I have found a trampoline in a road after high winds, not looking forward to the hat trick.
