What grinds my gears...

[The Year Of The Fox]

Watch out for the 2 speed cameras on the A50 into Leicester, the bastards have changed the speed limit from 50 to 40!

[Finnegan]

Actually... even more than flies... mosquitos. I've 2 mossie bites on my forearm that itch like crazy and are red hot to the touch.

Don't even start. I'm currently sat in a cottage in Keswick. Did a scramble up a waterfall yesterday and must have encountered every fly in the Lake District on the way up.

I can still feel them now, it's horrendous. I've the odd bite on my arms and neck but my legs are literally polka dot.

[Rincewind]

It's all those Mercs that are now out there that people on low income are buying out of their benefit money.

I should add that I didn't get caught ( this was yesterday)

It's currently took me 1 hr 20 mins to get from the office in Coalville to fosse park en route to wigston.

Thought the traffic was supposed to be less when the school holidays are on!?

Well if you're gonna be attacked by them The Lake District is preferable to Leicester ATM..

Still in traffic on soar valley way.

Bursting for a slash

Still in traffic on soar valley way.

Bursting for a slash

It's caused by the all the road works and the closure of Aylestone Road. I live in Glen Parva and it took me 45 minutes to get home from Fosse Park on Saturday. I only live 5 minutes away.

Trebled my commute to work this morning.. I was quite looking foward to a traffic free drive in as the kids were off, but no the trafic god decided to **** us all over again. I hope Aylestone road isn't closed for long.

****ing heat, my office feels like a bloody oven. Bring back the snows of March, that was nice topless weather, rather than this cook to death nonsense.

The construction industry get laughed at by pen pushers during the cold months This is called getting our own back!

[Rincewind]

Yes those builders' arse's are a site to see.

[AyewJoking]

the iceland bonus card. no relevance at all as to how much you spend (unlike a tesco club card).

 

who the fúck needs 30p off a box of fish fingers anyway?

[Rincewind]

I always forget to add it on my cards. I don't use the same place and don't buy much. Don't you have to spend around £100 to get 10p?

On the builders thing...drove past a group earlier lifting large planks of wood, they were topless, wearing shorts (embracing the heat) but were wearing 'snapbacks' ????

So they aren't concerned with any safety whatsoever in terms of proper boots, wearing high vis near the road etc etc but sh1ttttttt they didn't wanna get a sun burnt head!!

Oooo and also...the stupid oxygen thieves that huff and puff in shop queues when they fail to realise there will be big queues on one of the hottest days in the year, over a weekend, when the kids are off!

Customers in general (people working in retail will back me up)

Just because you work in a shop doesn't mean you are automatically written off as a human being and you have an Minus IQ! So don't talk to us like crap! Particularly when you only drive a nice car because you did a year at college doing plumbing and now you work for your dad and are heard talking about how you ripped off an old lady whilst walking around the shop!!

Boots yeh I agree with. But there's no real need for hi vis jackets certainly not on jobs I go to. Normal pedestrians don't wear them. It's a bit different if you're on a big site with JCBs going around etc obviously

Yeah I agree especially in the middle of the day but it was on a main road with two large vans and near a petrol station turn off so unless you were on te opposite side of the road you had no idea if they were taking something off of the van!

[Charl91]

Just sun in general.

 

Not a hot weather person. I prefer It when it rains.

Tbh I even question boots, I wear them because otherwise I wouldn't be allowed to work but nothing has EVER fell on my toes, on my foot yes, but there is no steel/protection their is there! (You couldn't really do it either, else obviously you'd not be able to walk/bend your foot) but as for steel toe caps, nothing ever seems to fall on toes, never for me anyway.

 

As for heat in offices, well it's one of the many reason I couldn't and wouldn't ever work in an office. I go into the office at work in the winter and it's like a sauna, no wonder in the office (At my current work and previous work places) people become ill so easy during the winter going from sauna like conditions to freezing cold outside.

I find the boots handy for resting radiators on instead of risking them being scratched. I wear trainers when I can at people's houses etc. I disagree with hard hats too unless you're working outside.

[StanSP]

People who go topless either abroad/in UK. 

 

I don't want to see your moobs/Michelins/muffin tops out in public. Save it for the bedroom (or at least on your own property).

[MooseBreath]

Gimps at work moaning about the heat. Air con on full whack, forcing me to work outside on the grass by the car park again. Only this time I'm joined by about a dozen others. A proper trend setter. Only people left in the office are the sad cvnts who hate the heat because it reminds them how they have no friends to enjoy it with and no life in general.

Reminds me of the nerds at school who on a hot day would be inside reading What car? magazine while the rest of us were outside playing football and trying to impress the girls.

Closed for 6 weeks.

Our science teacher used to let all the geeky boys play chess and Pokemon cards in her classroom during lunch. I'm usually a live and let live kind of guy but each and every one of these sad fookers would bring a packed lunch and stink out the place and I had to sit there after break trying not to puke up at the smell of some pap smear's egg mayonnaise.

Egg mayo. 

 

At least our lot brought their chess sets outside during the summer.
