Ear plugs;

2 pairs

One for your ears, one for your nose

Or just stick your head in the desk drawer



Has this chap complained to HR about having to sit next to a woman who insists on using truly awful American expressions?

Bite me indeed. Pffftt!!

I got a sweater for Christmas - I really wanted a screamer or a moaner

I put catfood in someones coffee once. Would have been great if that big lump of fat hadn't floated to the top.

After a couple of hours of Celine Dion played through some earphones you'll be pleased to hear the coughing instead.

Yep, lots. One bloke who sat opposite me had breath like he gargled with shit before he came to work....another had 'paint-stripper' breath. But ffs - complaining to HR.

Perhaps Lynne, or indeed yourself have annoying habits too?

MC024 - Mandlebars are in!


Boris for Prime Minister!

Did a long spell in Harefield recently. A person of Bengali decent was admitted to the bed next to me. He had an extremely loud persistant cough accentuated by his deliberate use of his voice during the cough. The Senior registrar (a man not to mince his words) said loudly " you must stop smoking now, it will kill you " during his consultation. An hour later this guy went out for a smoke and came back with the damn cough. This went on throughout the night and kept most of the patients in the bay awake. He was later moved to an isolation room. But just inconsiderate beyond measure, regardless of the impact upon himself.

Accelerated ageing made easy

Yeah, course I do.

She wanted an answer - I gave her one - bet it works n'all.

<gets cock out and waves it at WR>

I educated one of the chaps here. He had the most repulsive eating habits, slurping drinks, eating with his mouth hanging open, then making apalling sucking noises. I just outdid him every time he ate something, obviously an exaggeration, but he got the message.

My four year old does this, can you re-educate him for me?

Bonners top tip of the day, surprised this has not already been mentioned:

Start smoking yourself, then you wont notice the smell

TALK TO ME OR THE BUNNY GETS IT!

I don't think it would work on a four year old! I don't think anybody had told this bloke before how repulsive it looked and sounded, and I didn't want to be all heavy handed and take him to one side and be official, so I just took the piss out of him, which worked. Made him realise what he was doing. FWIW I agree with Lynn.

Bloke here picks his nose and eats the bogies.

He thought no-one could see him, forgrtting his reflection in the window.

He stopped the habit when one of the secretaries popped her head round his monitor mid-act, and asked 'Do you want fries with that?'

I made a false front for the adjuster dial on one of ours . . . Took the guy who moaned about being cold ages to work it out

I, and my long suffering colleagues, have suffered in silence for months over this. I know you were joking, but honestly, I really haven't mentioned it to anyone at all until now. And I'm not on my own. Three other people have had enough. I think I shall record it on my phone and host it somewhere so you can hear just how dreadful it is!
