Fucktards with food “allergies” that only decide to inform people the day before menus are planned, prep has started and shopping done.
Actually people who inflict their food “allergies” on others full fucking stop.
Especially when they decide they actually will eat the thing everyone else has after you’ve made something specially for them.Do you mean vegetarians?

Worse. Vegetarians that can’t eat certain vegetables but expect tasty and exciting food because that’s what everyone else is getting.
I am helping out a friend who is running a yoga retreat and needed a chef for the week. The vego aspect isn’t a problem but when trying to cook something to suit everyone (as I am still doing my normal job) and the fuckers start removing ingredients like onions, garlic, starches, the now standard gluten (which I anticipated), dairy, etc it plays havoc with the menus lined up. -

Just got off our morning meeting. I get really bored with the staleness of it, so always throw in some random personal anecdote to try and break the monotony.
So this morning - "Morning folks, great day here ... bit chilly, but turned on the radio this morning and Smells by Teen Spirit was playing, so I think it's gonna be a great day.
We've got a couple of new grads on our wider team. Here is the next part of the convo
Grad 1: "I've not heard of that, whose that by"
Me: "Nirvana, classic tune"
Grad 2: "Who's Nirvana"They can fuck off.
Who's Nirvana?

@majorrage I think it would have been appropriate to punch them, or at least one of them.
Working form home today, and they are in Amsterdam, so it would have been tricky. I'll see them in a couple of weeks though at which point, I shall indeed.
I wonder if they think of me what I used to think of my Dad listening to the Beatles back in the day. Old people's music.
Yes

Absentmindedly joined another conference call at work to find it's about men's mental health. I lost count of the amount of times people mentioned the word brave in the associated chat window. If backslapping and arsekissing cured mental health, we wouldn't need to sit through this shit again next year.
Female presenter / convener says she thinks it would be good for men to have their own place/ club whatever where they can hang out and just be blokes with blokes. No one responded that everytime we make something like that some hairy legged harridan complains about being excluded.
I sometimes wonder if measurable rates have decreased or increased since all of the emphasis on "raising awareness".
It's a good thing I always join with my microphone muted.

That would've been funny, but HR and execs mean no one is going to say something like that.

Great little place. The best bit is barman may be gay and two of the regulars are lesbians who farm nearby, but no-one rightly gives a fuck about that - it's just a pub.

This the sad but true reality. A nearby gol club was renowned for having a men only bar. It was far from luxurious but the local magistrate could mix freely with the bus drivers, brickies etc, cuss and drink beer. The ladies eventually got it closed down. It took less than a month for the complaints about the swearing in the bar to start.

if it's say, peak hour, and we are travelling slowly in a couple of lanes of traffic, and i leave, say a car length of space between me and the car in front, that, fellow commuters, is to absolutely ensure i don't rear-end anyone
not for you to dive in to because you think my lane is currently going a couple of metres faster
you stupid selfish fluffybunny
