The grumpy thread

At school we used to play teacher bingo.

Make a grid and in each square put a phrase the teacher uses often. First one to get a line wins!

I was thinking you could probably do this with this American business language crap as Cav suggested.

iI haven't really read what you are talking about (sorry) but I really dislike the word "colleague" in place of the word "staff".

 

At the Disney store you're 'cast'.

I have a van as well but the seller was moaning over the weight (ie. I think he's some kind of weak faggot) so can't help lift it.

 

Now he's asked to refund the Paypal payment and wants cash on collection... so I'll take a refund then piss on the idiot for wasting my time.

Bad news: someone has swapped the u and n letters on your keyboard for a and s. I'd get that fixed if I were you.

British Airways refer to passengers as customers. That always really fucking annoyed me for reasons relating to the fact they were an even bigger shower of fucktard bastards than their "customers" were.

That really winds me up when passengers are called customers. Like we had a bloody choice

"Get the hammer down" is also a fatuous management buzz phrase that makes no sense. Apparently it means work harder...

that reminds me of the NASA-speak term of EVA (extra vehicular activity) or as we in the real world know it: Walking

The buzzword that currently annoys me most is "around", i.e "We had a brainstorming session around key skills".

 

It's a wishy-washy cop-out word that tries but fails to disguise the fact that the user knows so little about the subject at hand that they can't adequately predict the scope of the upcoming discussion and hence don't want to use the marginally more specific word "about". WANKERS, the lot of 'em.

When I worked at the Inalnd Revenue they used to refer to tax payers as customers......

 

Tax payers are not orrering you their custom, you are taking their custom whether they like it or not (in most cases).

I agree, it's not that far-fetched, especially in terms of frequent flyers (repeat customers). Etihad don't even have 'customers'- it's 'guests'.

I love my current job on the bin wagons, it's the most satisfied I've ever been in the workplace. Problem is, I don't think I'm cut out for it. Pushed myself to keep pace so hard today that I had to stop so I wouldn't black out, not a pleasant experience. I'll be lucky if they call me back in on Monday and, depending how I feel over the next couple of days, I'm not sure I want to go back in after today. I didn't give up, after the near black out once I'd got rid of the nasty after effects I got back out there hoiking bins about, but then my knee went 'pop' on me just reinforcing how much fitter and able the other guys are.

 

[melodrama] I feel like my body has betrayed me in my pursuit of happiness [/melodrama], and I'm really fucked off with myself now.
