The vent

Why is it the fact that four sales contacts I've established at other companies aren't working there anymore?!?

Did everyone get fired before Christmas?? I wanted to make a deal! Arghhhhhhhh.

So this rude bint of a cashier at DM decided that instead of dropping my change (coins) in my open and ready hand, she was going to PUSH my hand out of the way and put the change in that little plastic dip which is almost impossible to retrieve coins from. What the FUCK is wrong with handing someone their change??? It can't be that she didn't want to touch my hand lest she get cooties as she pushed it out of the way. Plus, the money she's handling has by far more germs than I do. What a bitch!!! I'm seriously assed off about that.

Our firms Christmas cards just have arrived from the printers with the incorrect office name printed on them! Big F.off oops!

Hm, just got a hidden number hang-up call. I hate that

Actually, it wigs me out when that happens, always reminds me of an ex - quite the stalker he was.

If you have hidden your number on your phone or mobile and try to call me, don't be surprised when no one answers. grrrrr .

I was late for work this morning. The stupid U-bahn was late, and then, when it finally came, I couldn't get on because the stupid people all crowd up at the doors. What is wrong with the people on the u-bahns here? They never, ever stand in the isles. Stand in the %§%/§ isles, people!!! Morons.

Oh, and then my stupid bus was late too.

The word AISLES starts with an A. Or did you mean that every asswipe standing in the U-Bahn blocking the doorway should be sent to some group of islands far the fuck away from Munich, in which case I agree and suggest the Aleutians or any chain north of the Arctic Circle.

English is not your bitch. Treat it with a modicum of respect.

woof.

Comments like that really piss me off.

I'd like to rant and complain about my coworkers.

I already have nicknames for both as the "the B-atsch" and "the dipwit boy living with his mother". The B-atsch is pretty obsessive-compulsive as she tends to laugh very heavily and has big mood swings. Normal woman have their period once a month but she has it once or twice a week (that is PMS included of course). She frequently curses her bf on the phone and smashes things like her bf's mobile. She then gets on the phone and begs hers bf and if he is angry she curses him again. She seems to make an impression that she is very anal about work but takes long lunch hours with lunch dates and writes tons of personal emails at work and extensively surfes the net, reading the Bild newspaper. (That's almost the National Enquirer in German)

The dipwit boy lives with his mother. He has the attitude at work that everyone needs to clean and take care after him like his mommy. He thinks women should do certain tasks at work. He slacks off by playing internet games which are like the Lord of the Rings. He is often on the phone with male friends, giggling with them. He often mentions them what kind of inventories he collected in his online game during day.

Did I mention that both of my coworkers are in their thirties?

The fucking mod team not fucking doing their fucking modding. It's just plain not fucking good enough. Fucking sack the bastards.

OK, vent over.

Just cos people can type the "F" word, they think it's emotion! It's pathetic and pisses me right off! Nearly as much as my "F" ing business users, pathetic bunch of wasters and the IT guys, work shy, non-committal amateurs!

Grrrr...!

The thread I read was "The Vent" cos I wanted to vent or read other people vent.
And I went there because it says "No Chat"
And this is an official vent,
Some people still wear the f'ing cap, even if it doesn't fit, so take it off your thick head!
And stop lecturing unless you can get it right...which I doubt this side of learning to read titles!

Vent over!

EDIT Finally the MODS have woken up!

my vent: a TTer, who obviously (and understandably) hasn't had sex in a looooong time (with another person at least) boasting about TTers' 'insulting' posts being removed, when actually their own (instigating) insulting post was deleted too. hardly a triumph.

Back on topic -
Just need to vent: I have something at work that needs to be done and I have asked a colleague to do it (he has done this several times for me in the past) and he always says 'huh? What do I have to do? That's not my job' as if he never had been asked this before. Ugh!! Dumb ass. I wish, really, that he would get fired!

How suddenly we find the flesh of God within us after all, when we thought that we were only make of dust.

I'm venting at Yorkie for apparently having my side comment on here deleted yesterday (although tbh, I can't make heads nor tails of your post, Sweetie. I obviously missed something yesterday. Side Vent: Stoopid new job is severly cutting into my TT time ). Anyway, back on topic: Dang it, Yorkie. You're not helping my overall post totals atall.

Hey Kitkat,

I go through the same "syndromes" with my co-workers. If they are playing dumb and leaving work on your table, do the following. Play dumb and leave work on their table. I have been always the reliable and the nice co-worker until it sort of hit me a month ago. What I do now is, I do the same what my co-workers do to me. If they slack off and leave work on my table I do the same. If they take care of work seriously I do the same. I don't think anyone is going to take advantage of my politeness or reliability anymore.

Here is what my co-workers do to piss me off:
-Put a report on their table and pretend they are reading through it or correcting it and surf the internet at the same time. This is why their reporting takes hours on end.
-Again, put a report on their table and write tons of personal emails on their company account.
I spent my first year in the company working like a dog, hell I did not even have time to write personal emails. That's not happening anymore.

I'm am really fucking furious!! I was recently given an All Blacks top signed by the whole team and as a gesture of goodwill I donated it to the local rugby club that Reece plays for so they could raffle it over christmas and raise funds for the club. One of the girls has just rang me "anonymously" to say that it's not on the list of prizes for the raffle. I'm trying to remain calm and have just left a voicemail on the chairmans phone to see if he is perhaps using it to raise funds some other way, but the girl that spoke to me said he seemed very evasive when questioned about it. I'll kill the little fucker if he's kept it for himself!!!

Damned weather! My migraine is back, my left eyeball is bursting and I get dizzy every time I turn my head.

FALSE FRIENDS. Just fell into the trap - guy (no sexual interest) was building up a friendship for several weeks, till he obviously decided I was no longer useful to him.

Final straw: yesterday we had arranged to meet at my place; at the same time he said he'd bring back something of mine he had borrowed (but that was a side issue; there was no hurry) - so of course, expecting a friend for the evening, I bought food, prepared stuff, opened a nice bottle of wine...then he turns up on the doorstep, gives me my stuff and says, "Can't stay, busy"

Argghh! then I get annoyed at myself for not seeing through the guy sooner - but how can you tell what an arsehole is when they're being nice to you???

I have never come across such a rude man in my life. I went to Bad Toelz on the BOB train yesterday with mini-cinzia (16 months) and a girlfriend. Getting back on the train for the ride back, the friend went ahead into the car to save us two seats together while I parked the stroller and unloaded the baby.

While I was still occupied with that, an older German man came and told her "reserving" seats isn't allowed on the train and he was going to sit next to her. That was when I showed up with the baby in tow and said she was saving the seat for us while I got organized. He WOULD NOT give up the seat, even though I was standing there with a baby. Asshole.

Fortunately somebody else changed seats so we could sit together and nobody sat next to the jerk. He also got an earful from some of the other passengers. He just kept insisting that there was no reserved seating on the BOB train.

I'm sure he's the first guy setting out his towel before breakfast on the poolside lounge chairs on holiday in Mallorca.

...where he's obviously holidaying alone beacause he's such a twat.

just bought some yummy scrumptious cheesecake and everytime i go to take a mouthful the phone rings or someone needs help. why are people so dependent?!

Lately, we seem to cross paths with a lot of rude and inconsiderate people!

My husband and I plus our little man in the pram were waiting to take the lift down to the U-bahn platform. In front of us were an elderly woman with crutches, a guy in a wheelchair and a fully able-bodied couple in their mid-40's. Just before the lift arrived, a couple in their early 30's turned up and walked straight past us, the guy in the wheelchair and the elderly woman. The lift door opens up and they walk straight in without a hesitation ! Then the middle-aged couple follow! Not only did they completely ignore the fact that there were people who actually needed to use the lift and had no other choice, but they did not even attempt to make space for anyone else . My husband and I were flabergasted. I would have said something to them but my german is not good enough for this sort of situation. I'm glad that my husband then raised his voice and told them to bloody make space for the guy in the wheelchair (he did not actually use any rude words but the tone of his voice was enough for anyone to understand not to mess with him!). They actually seemed surprised that someone would dare tell them to move their butts. I wish I'd been able to kick their butts out of that lift!

i know this is really petty and small-minded but it annoys me.
at work for xmas, we send everyone of our clients a present including trainees, freelancers etc so no one feels left out. people whom we never talk too but we know they are working in the background... it was part of my job to ensure all the names are right, everyone is on the list etc etc etc
and when we get sent some xmas gifts, it is always the same people. and as you can tell, i am not the their list

don't ya just fucking hate people sometimes. Just been to Reece's school play but as I am going to a black tie thingy tonite I had to go and get my hair and makeup done before hand. Anyway was at the play and someone slap head mother in her leggings and polo neck said to me "ooh look at you all done up" so I explained why, not that it was any of her bloody business. So she's like "makeup must hide a multitude of sins as Reece is always saying your must be the oldest mother in the school" (he does also say that to me but I tell him it's only cos they all popped kids at bloody 12). I've never met this woman in my puff as I never go up the school and there's about 4 of us standing there, so I just said "I might be the oldest but clearly I'm not the fucking ugliest". And now I'm probably not the most popular either

asssholes that think they are 'entitled' to stuff that they didn't work for or even fucking deserve.

When you order a Pizza to take out and ask them to cut into 12 pieces coz you are hungry...

And when you get home, the cuntz have cut it into 6!!

BASTARDS

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Ok so the mother asks me to get allll their dvds and write them in a table (so not my job!) and even though its my time off, I have nothing better to do so go ok sure. She wants a column with the title, a number, and the actors...Ok fast forward an hour or too and she rocks on into the lounge and says oh i always want you to put how long it is and what year its made...right when I have almost finished!!! grrr so now i have to find the fricken place in the table again for each of the stupid dvds!!!

where do I start?
At the gym this morning someone turned the heaters up to 5, and then then this women bitched an moaned with I tipped one of the small windows open- we will all die with a cold. I told her, I am about to fall over, as there is no air in there and with 20 people working out in a small room.

So, I am on the bus to come home from the gym, I was sitting by the front door, and when my stop came, I tried to push the button, after I finally found it, didn't realize it didn't click somehow (the driver didn't know I wanted out), but I was standing by the front door, and as we pass the stop, I say, I wanted out, he said, you have to click the button, I said I did, but I would have thought standing here at the front door ready to get out was a clue too. He said, no its not, I have to push the button. Even the lady sitting on the otherside of the aisle said that I did push the button, he said, no, no button was pushed.

The have removed the recycling bins from our building, now I have to actually carry my recycleables way down the road to place in the proper bins. Pain in the ass.

I did that stupid button pushing thing the other day on the bus too! and had to walk home from the next stop grrrr

Fuck Alitalia for striking when I want to fly home.

Why the hell would anybody feel the need to start sanding down a treehouse he's making for the neighbour's kid (becuase he wants to get in the kid's mum's pants) at 8:30 on a Staurday morning?? And continue doing so till around 11:30, when the chance of my actually going back to sleep is finally over???

I want Christmas to be over!!! I am so exhausted from running from one party to another and being social. I just want to sit on my couch one night this week!!! Waahhhhh!

Damned lime-remover!!! Now I am struggling to take deep breaths because it has aggravated my larynx and it's swollen half-shut.

We've got this sales rep visiting from England and she needs to go home. This woman is not only tall and gorgeous, she has this harumpadunk to beat J. Low's. It gives every man in the room a stiffy everytime she struts by. I feel like some asexual neuter thing beside her. I want her to go home, NOW.

Grrrrr…. I can’t stand colleagues who can not organise their work properly, then need your help and blatantly give the impression of being the great one in front of the boss…plus denigrate others for mistakes they have made… and no, it’s not you Jimbo

In the process of making banana bread, having been to the shops to get the ingredients, and I've forgotten the bloody butter. Now I don't have time and have to chuck everything away. Plus I'd promised to take it to a friends this afternoon. Doh!!

Why did my parents have me circumcised?! Why mom?! Why? What were you thinking?

FUCKING VODAFONE!!! I currently have a prepaid T-Mobile cell and I wanted to switch to a contract. Vodafone seemed to offer the best rates for what I wanted (specifically the phone). So, Saturday I went to the store and signed the contract. But, because I don't have a German bank account, there are logistical issues that I/they had to deal with but it worked. They told me to come back in two hours and it should be activated. I came back in two hours and they said that it still wasn't done as it had to be done manually because of my special circumstances and there was no one there at the time to do it so it had to wait till Monday. Ok...fine. Monday comes...and goes. It's still not ready. I'm told to call back Tuesday...It'll definately be done Tuesday. So, I call several times on Tuesday, each time being told that it wasn't done. I went back to the store on my way home...still nothing. Oh...no wait. They told me I had to pay a 250 EURO kaution because I don't have a German bank. I go and pay but it's going to take a couple of hours to activate. Well...Wednesday...I called at noon, nothing. I called again at 4:30. Ok...now it had just gone thru so I went to collect my phone. I get home, there's no sim card. I called them to see where it was, and they said it was in the envelope. I never got an envelope. I haul my ass back to the store and they insist that when I signed the contract, I was given a red envelope that contained the sim. I NEVER received said envelope so now I have to go back tomorrow and speak the the fucktard that issued me the contract in the frist place because he insists that he gave me the envelope. FUCKTARDS!!!

Ha ha...perfect thread for me.

Why did my stupid sorry excuse for a husband lie to me, cheat on me, take my money...

...ah, the list goes on. Why do people lie? We had no children, no house, no major shared property.

I just want my Mother in Law to GO AWAY. Every fucking thing I do, her beady eyes follow me around the room. JUST GO AWAY AND LEAVE ME IN PEACE. Can I go back to work soon, please?

Fucking bunch of bastards have robbed my elderly neighbour of a substantial sum of money. Distraction burglary. Scum scum scum. I really hope they get caught. Fuckers.

Ok, sorry, I can't let this go yet... f*cking United and their f*cking useless ticket counter staff. They are, quite possibly, even more useless than the Telekom customer service reps. It makes my blood boil.

me: "I called your Customer Service hotline yesterday and they assured me that with a note from my dad's doctor it would be possible to arrange bulkhead seating for him."

Ticket guy: "I show no record of you talking to our Customer Service department."

me: "Well, perhaps your colleague didn't make a note of it."

Ticket guy: "There is no record of a conversation taking place. (implying that I'm either insane or a pathological liar-- which really, REALLY pissed me off ) A medical condition and a doctor's letter are not reasons to get upgraded to bulkhead seating."

me: "Upgraded? I'm asking about seat assignments. What are you talking about?"

Ticket guy: "Bulkhead seating is 'Economy Plus'. You do not qualify for an upgrade."

me: "Uh-huh. So what exactly would qualify me for an upgrade?"

Ticket guy: "We don't do upgrades"

me : " What? Oh, ffs. Whatever. But your Customer Service department told me..."

and around and around in circles it went until I finally gave up, told him to write his name down for me so that when I wrote my letter of complaint I could blame the appropriate employee and then walked off, absolutely fuming.

First vent of the year: My elbow is hurting from assembling furniture and vacuuming the new place. But it's worth it

Folk that dont listen nor read their e-mails...

Why should I waste my time and breath?

Why on earth do I have to go to work to make sure that somebody is there to answer the phone/ receive visitors, when everybody knows that the university is closed this week, and so doesn't ring/ come to ask any questions? As if I have nothing better to do with my time...

i want SNOW NOW!

Owning a company then being expected to work on your Holidays!

Alright then, FUCKING VODAFONE an all. Ok so I changed bank accounts and didn't change my details with them so my bill didn't get paid. I called them today & gave them my new bank details & said I'd like to pay for Dec bill too. "Sorry, can't do that over the phone you have to go to a Vodafone shop" But after giving the woman a story that I was nowhere near a shop bla bla bla she said "Oh alright then you can actually call theis number, press button 2 followed by 4 & pay it over the phone". I waited several times 5-8 mins, got cut off a few times & gave up till after lunch. Was out & about this afternoon & found a Vodafone shop in Ottobrunn so I waited to get served a few times (they were busy & I'm not the only person in the world) so gave up there too. Went back to work called again in the evening & eventually got through. After giving all my information again & explaining I'm a twat but that I'd really like to give them some money she told me I'd have to go to a F**king shop or do a bank transfer. How can you argue with people that are either f**king stupid or work for a company that haven't got a clue how to train their F**king staff so that they all at least say the same crap. If I'd have known I'd have defo waited at the shop FFS. I agree with Bern, FUCKTARDS!

fucking phone. I cant turn my phoen off, I'M on call today. Why do relatives send sms at 9am!!! theres nothing else to do here today, and I had planned to sleep sleep and more sleep

bastards

If my "colleague" doesn't stop giving me "helpful" suggestions on how to do my job differently, I'm going to poke his fucking eye out with a pencil.
