    Here's another: when someone says 'Guess how much this thing costs???!!?!?', talking about a thing that is clearly way more expensive than they thought it would be, and you have to try and pitch your guess reasonably high, but not as high as the truth, so that it doesn't kill their banter.

    I just succumbed, guessing £850 when the banter was that something was FIVE HUNDRED! Room instantly dead.

    I can’t be doing with people telling me they’ve put their heating on, like it’s a big life-changing event.

    Or that they’ve “made the most of the weather and put the washing out.” And?

    Probably just because my only interaction with others is on Teams.

    You just answer these with something that makes it clear how little of a shit you give. Either stupidly high or stupidly low. Doesn't matter which.

    These are crucial stock Lines To Take when having to make conversation. If you're getting it from your best mate you should probably be worried but don't you dare underplay their value when we've got 2 minutes to kill on Teams before everyone joins the call.

    That’s the thing though. I’m offended people feel the need to use those lines on me, no matter who it is.

    It tends to happen more at the end of meetings, so I usually leave fast. I’m not one for messing around so I like to arrive on the hour and get straight to business.

    When 2 kids are ill at the same time there is always someone on hand to trot out 'oh, there must be something going around'. Well yes, there's fucking thousands of things going around.

    When people caption their photos and use the term “this one” to mean another person.

    ”fab few days away with this one.”

    You mean Darren, Kayley. His name is Darren.

    That sounds like the type of thing you'd do if you were a girl. Do you still point at people in photos?

    I've never seen that, but then Essex girls have enough ridiculous slang of their own so it's probably just fallen off in favour "salty potato" or something equally stupid.

    There are Victorians fucking everwhere in my street tonight as it is the Gabba traffic boundary for rideshare.

    EDIT: Knicked off to the pub and it is all Victorians.

    People than answer questions you didn't ask.

    We're due to go to CentreParcs in a months time and with all the talk of Circuit Breaking it brings some doubt to the situation, so my Mrs messaged her manager asking 'if there's a short lockdown when I'm meant to be going away, is there any availability to move my annual leave back a week?'

    "We don't know if there's going to be a lockdown"

    Yeah mate, she didn't think she was texting BoJo.

    I got sick of the one 'Vegan Tiramisu' ad on Twitter it would show me over and over again so I blocked the account and Twitter is punishing me by showing me awful 'viral' content accounts instead.

    We have a toilet coming off the kitchen. It's an odd architectural choice IMO.

    I hate all these journalists saying ‘I sat down with Player X where he said...’ and then every journalist has the exact same quotes. Lads, you went to a press conference.

    As RL says, its one of those stupid design choices.

    The place was originally gonna be two apartments but they sold it as a complete house, and means we have a large side room off the kitchen with a toilet, plus the washer and dryer.

    also what's up with people writ large having no sense of nuance

    i see it all the time in these realms:
    1) design, where people do these dumb superficial projects like "this app makes an ALARM BELL sound every time a BOMB goes off in yemen" and you're all like "yeah okay" and it's one note

    and

    2) politics, where blah blha blah who cares am i right

    Absolutely fucking sick of my job right now. I love the job itself but I have very few other colleagues who do the same job as me and the one I work most closely with can be incredibly fucking difficult to work with.

    I've suggested a certain way of doing things which makes a massive amount of sense but she's against it, I think, because if I do it like that it'll make her look bad because she doesn't want to do it like that. Well....fuck off. I'm going to email the management and make it clear to them how I want to do things, and they'll agree that my way is a good idea and I'll get to do things in a way that helps people the most.

    If they don't see it then they can fuck off too. Or I'll just email their manager until finally I meet someone at this shitshow of an organisation who knows what they're fucking doing. We're putting people's lives at risk needlessly, doing things the way we're doing them. Basically I want to do things online with the people who want to do them online, as I've had a number of people contact me saying they're uncomfortable attending anything physically as they've got health problems or their family members do. Well, that's fine by me - I'll just do things online. Or I'll do things online with the people who want it done online (at no significant loss to what's being offered) and do things in person with the people who are happy to have things done in person.

    Jesus Christ. Never worked somewhere which is so badly managed. An absolute shower of shite. Job itself, working with the people I work with as part of the job - love it. Every single dealing with the management is a fucking shambles though. Nobody knows what they're doing, everyone wants to pass it on to someone else and deflect responsibility. I don't even know which manager to email about this - I have 3 names and I don't know who would be responsible, so I guess i'll just email all of them.

    Fuck sake. I'm thinking of sacking it off and going back to my doss job I did a few years back. The one that was ok, not great, but which caused me very little stress and which I could forget about afterwards. Pay wasn't great but I could get by. We live in a cheap house and the missus gets paid well so I could do.

    Might use this place to vent every now and then.

    Jobs thread, surely? Also, there's a reason why the other job is lesser pay and why you probably won't go back out of choice.
