Or when you finally get to said lunch, which was a salad (GFY's), one of those ones where you get a couple of choices, and you open it to realise that instead of putting your 2 choices next to each other like ever other sane muthafucka in the world would do, the pimply little git decided to be a moron or a cnt and stick one on top of the other.
sorry, i get grumpy that you ordered a salad
yes, I pre-empted your expected outrage with a GFY...

Internet Acronyms that I always forget and then have to look up and then go through all the cookies I never asked for and then have to read again to see I am saying no not yes to them
And then finding good acroynyms like TLDR which would be more useful as something else, like

We all love a workplace hack to speed things up. But what happens when shortcuts become difficult to work out. Hereās a breakdown of some workplace acronyms.
TLDR = Too Lagered, Didn't Root. -

TLDR = Too Lagered, Didn't Root.Misuse of the word "acronym".
Edit: and yeah, I know - everybody fucking does it. That article did it. They started off well... defined it correctly, and then just ignored the definition. Fluffybunnies.

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.

@majorrage I think it would have been appropriate to punch them, or at least one of them.

How the fuck does anyone go through life and not know that song ?
My 13 and 11 year old know that if they want the privilege of a meal theyād better get easy questions like that right on car rides or else theyād go hungry that night.

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.

Recent grads. So you referenced a song that came out half a decade before they were born...

Fucktards with food āallergiesā that only decide to inform people the day before menus are planned, prep has started and shopping done.
Actually people who inflict their food āallergiesā on others full fucking stop.
Especially when they decide they actually will eat the thing everyone else has after youāve made something specially for them. -

Worse. Vegetarians that canāt eat certain vegetables but expect tasty and exciting food because thatās 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 isnāt 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.
