I remember the days before Portaloos on the building site. Someone would dig a hole in the ground, erect three old doors around it and that would be it. Yesterday's copy of the Mirror or Sun would be used as bumfodder.

I hate when people leave spills on kitchen worktop areas and leave bits of food in plughole of sink.
I mean what they do at home is up to them but there is more than one office in the building and some
parts of the building are shared.

More workplace hates:

Jobsworths
Health and Safety maniacs (except when it comes to giving staff decent drinking water, proper space to work in, putting up blinds on windows, getting proper breaks....)
Line managers (whatever happened to supervisors)
Co-ordinators and facilitators (endemic in the NHS - what the fuck do they do?)
Pre meeting meetings
Meetings
Booking meetings
Taking minutes
Managers talking shite
Colleagues talking shite
And, in these days of foot high snow those who proclaim "I'm working from home" Aye sure you are :evil:

Would I be right in calling such a thing...

...a metameeting?

Too good to be true, surely :D

I hate it when the boss decides that two ten minute breaks in an 8 hour day is overdoing things and removes them. Then walks in and says "gosh you look red eyed & tired". Baaargh!!
