    One that has pissed me off recently. fluffybunnies who want to talk to me in bars just because they've noticed I'm a regular. They don't seem to have noticed I quietly sit by myself but they have to break into my cone of silence.

    I've just spent 12 hours at work having to be pleasant to people. Leave me alone to enjoy my beer!

    Fucking THIS! Times a thousand or more.
    Minus the being pleasant to people at work, fuck that.

    Just going back to the OP in the previous GOM/Aging/Ageing/Dying thread ...

    ... arrive at the pathology lab at 6am, just prior to opening, already 12 lined up. The majority obviously retirees.

    But this time the staff on triage make the effort to identify people who need to get to work (age, attire, hi-vis etc). Good policy. But do they ask me? Nup. I'm still stuck behind the diseased wrinkly old farts who can wait until the work day starts.

    It's not as if my hair (I've still got some) is completely grey, nor would I be wearing a shirt with a company logo and work boots (as opposed to a singlet and sandals - de rigueur for retirees in Bay) if I wasn't going to work? Still grumpy.

    fluffybunnies who use spreadsheets like they are pieces of paper for them to make their coloured drawings on.
    worthless generalists trying to tell specialists how to do things: H&S, compliance/regulatory, 'management'.

    people concreting the fuck out of sections so they can be 'low-maintenance'.
    fat fluffybunnies with supermarket trolleys full of coke and chips.

    fucking clickbait shit:
    '10 reasons why... Number 6 will make you...'
    'person xyz DESTROYS person abc' on your chosen topic of confirmation bias.

    morons with strong opinions.
    and whingers. them too.

    People who can't use capital letters.

    People who add an "s" to the end of your name or spell it incorrectly when it's really fucken easy. There's only one of me.

    Because of the way things are now, close talkers are the fucken worst! See me continually trying to maintain distance? That's not a fucking invite to take another step closer.

    Closed-minded people. If you saw my lying on your resume thread the person we replaced the "liar" with has no empathy of any type. He can not see anything any other way than his own way. He believes far too much of what he reads on the internet and when he is called out on it and I mean presented with actual facts he loses his shit and walks off.

    Dolphins. Smug fluffybunnies.

    What was the point in getting married then? If I wanted to do "everything" myself I would have stayed single.

    Huh. That's what I do and they always end up clean on the shelf. Sounds like you need a better dishwasher.
