The grumpy thread

[Sheefag]

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Right.

 

I give a shit because I have to regularly go around sorting the bloody things because people tend to leave them behind in my department and never pick them back up and there's nowhere good to store them in the meantime.

 

We have 30+ people walk in and out of rooms at a time several times a day, leaving them behind for the next group of people to do the same.

 

I have to walk through crowds of people quite often and the things get left on the floor, leaving me tripping over them.  It is dead tight on space and frequently people leave mess everywhere.

 

Drinking water is not a pointless exercise, it's just that drinking two litres of the stuff a day is a complete myth that's been manipulated by bottled water companies (let's not forget that they sell product with an order-of-magnitude markup) and these bottle manufacturers because people will believe whatever they read on the side of a bus.

On the scale of grumps, it's not really a grump.  It's just that I hate the fucking things with a burning, fiery passion.

 

I also hate quackery.

[Sheefag]

It's the Geese you need to look out for, even bigger killers than expensive water bottles. Look at this bastard, they are not your friends.

 

[GrumpiusMaximus]

A goose with a designer water bottle is a right bastard.

[Sheefag]

Can't see the carpet for water bottles in my office. Bastards.

We have a few folks in work running around with the giant water bottles that look like a handled barrel complete with day glo carry strap for extra attention seeking.

[Sheefag]

Giant water bottles are SO last year, flaming tar barrels are where the cool kids are at now.

^ these are literally all round our offices

[Lacquer Peel]

Grumpius is not wrong.

Buying water in a plastic bottle is bullshit too.

[Sheefag]

I've been all through that article, there's no mention of him you lying get.

You lie.

 

This is an obvious pic from the recent protest about the rising price of quinoa and avocados.

[JeeExEll]

I normally sip one teaspoon of water each day before I go to work.

[Sheefag]

...and I then carelessly discard the spoon where others may trip to their fiery death on it.

 

Have you no shame?

[JeeExEll]

No.

There must be about 30 empty spoons down there now.

[Sheefag]

'Tonight on.. WHEN SPOONS GO BAD'

 

[Sheefag]

Resolves to go and do some actual work now.

[Sheefag]

Fucking SPOONRAGE keeps drawing me back. How did we even end up here..?

 

[rantingYoof]

I may just copy and paste the last three (Tapatalk) pages into the grin thread.

You work in Allendale on new year's eve?

[scaryoldcortina]

 

You don't even want to know what the spoons look like.

Bloody NHS, we're having to sign up all the meeting rooms too

[Exiled_Tat_Gatherer]

You are a bunch of fucking idiots! This is no longer the Grump…

 

OH NO - YOU HAVE CROSSED THE STREAMS...…. THE MARSHMALLOW MAN WILL KILL US ALL...……. etc.. etc...

[Sir Snipes]

No one said he was wrong about the volume of liquid a human requires to survive.

I (we) are finding it hilarious that he can get so worked up over another human choosing to consume water NOISILY, and FROM A FANCY BOTTLE!!!!!!!!!!

 

Anyway, I'm done now

I'm assuming it's the constant slurping you generally get with sports caps that is the issue here. Unlikely a polite sip of an open cup would cause offence?

[dozeydustman]

I have in the last week been officially diagnosed with misophonia and hyperacusis, both of which are hearing disorders. I can get where Grump is coming from about slurping and drinking noises as it's one of the things that really get my heckles up, and have posted about this in the depression thread. Not taking their empties away is just ignorant, surely there's got to be a suitable receptacle for empties somewhere nearby?

 

That is not the grump.

 

I move house tomorrow. This isn't a grump either.

 

E-mail from letting agent came through. They want to do the annual gas safety inspection tomorrow. FFS.
