Soda Jerk Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 That's a good one. The workplace seems to be heavily populated with them. All workplaces. I often wonder what it is such people do when they get home. I usually envisage that they just eat their dinner, have a bath and go to bed without saying a word. The textbook sign of a total stiff is when they make any sort of comment at work about being bored at home whilst on leave and looking forward to coming back. It usually happens when everyone returns after Christmas. If a working person ever feels like they have too much free time, then they're doing it wrong.

Jaaakkkeee Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Even if you're alone during holidays that's just time that could be spent wanking. You can't wank at work. Well you can, but if you get caught you'll have a lot more free time to wank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear fork on a motorcycle used to be called the swinging arm, which describes it nicely. It is now known as the yank version, swingarm. The front end of the bike at the top used to be known as the fork yokes, it has now been yanked as well and is now the triple tree. And, for as long as I can remember (at least five minutes) drummers always had a BASS drum, not a kick drum. Kick it and you'll burst the fuckin skin. I hate Yankisms, we're too easily influenced by their shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, thinking about it, the ones who usually say it are the ones who have fairly young kids. Perhaps being at home isn't very fun for them. Pre-teen children sounds like no fun, at least judging from the parents I know and work with anyway, and witnessing how miserable they appear all the time. I was in the co-op queue yesterday, sandwiched between two mums with screaming toddlers. They both looked at each other and one said "Is it bloody bed time yet?". I bet they wished they were at work.

Lemonade Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) Went out Friday night with a guy from work who I thought seemed like a stand up dude until a few pints in when he started tossing out racial slurs. Another guy from work who I get on really well with started sharing pro-life posts on Facebook this evening. Apparently I'm a poor judge of character.

Cabbage Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Pet Hate: Click bait headlines, even my work has started using them on their homepage.

Spoonie Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Those are brutal - and nowadays it seems like the actual story doesn't really need to have much to do with the clickbait headline. You pose a question and then the article doesn't answer it. Total nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Even worse if the clickbait article has been split across more than one page and you have to click over to page two to find out what the youngest kid from Malcolm in the Middle looks like as an adult. And close to the "next page" button, there's always a crude banner ad that has an arrow on it, trying to fool you into thinking it is the next page button, but it isn't. It's an ad, and if you click it by mistake, now you've got 70 pop ups about viagra, a case of harddrive AIDS, Bearshare has been hard installed into your OS and your search engine has been altered to BestWebSearch.biz and you have to rake around your browser settings to get rid of it, but it keeps coming back, so you throw your computer off a bridge and go live in the woods. I didn't even like Malcolm in the Middle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabbage Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 but you'll never believe what he looks like now / wore to the met gala / did to make $1million a week There is a cracking example of this in the Interesting Music Promotions forum right now.

Lemonade Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 I hate the ones that are a tweet disguised as a news article. "XXXX slams XXXX over some bullshit!" Then it's 100 words describing a tweet, then an embedded tweet, then another 100 words about the people in the tweet. THAT'S NOT NEWS. Football sites seem to be especially bad for this.
