OAPs who get so bored of wasting their own time that they waste other people´s time. This morning I wanted to check out of my hotel, but had to wait for quite some time while an old bloke stood there telling the receptionist about how the town´s changed, and of course he remembers the old hotel building, oooh it was beautiful but I suppose the maintenance costs were too high, oooh it´s not like it was in my day etc etc. Meanwhile a queue of people with appointments to reach is building, but nobody wants to upset the old bloke by asking him to move on.
More OAP problems; filling up first class on the bloody trains with their discount cards and their cut out coupons from magazines to travel first class for the price of 2nd. OAPs who pretend they have problems walking, park their bloody Nissan Micra with disabled sticker in front of the supermarket door, with not even enough space for people to get their trolley past it, then peruse said supermarket in a spritely fashion, expecting us all to believe they're 'disabled'.
Add to that the fact they have pensions almost nobody 20 years younger can ever dream of getting, and they get their bloody discount cards, their winter heating allowance, their bus passes, and even expect people to get up and offer them a seat on the bus or train, even though they haven't even ******* paid for it.
Serious, I used to have lots of respect for old folks, and I know it's a bit of a taboo to have a go at them, but it's time that taboo is broken. There's a generation of them right now, between about 60 and 75, who are just the most selfish, unmannered bunch of ***** on earth. Lady Tester, who works in psychogeriatric nursing, will confirm this; old people's homes are filled up with grumpy misfits who whine at each other all day, and in fact in the last few years one of the biggest problems in nursing homes is bullying; bullying between old people that is. They even have the raw nerve to yap on disapprovingly about 'the youth of today'.
Maybe some old folks could just stop yapping inanely about soaps, discount cards and ' in my day' for one minute and give a little thought to the people who are paying the ******* bills around here.

People who can't walk in straight lines that drift across in front of you or people who stop suddenly or change direction, walking into you.
Noises - like people eating with their moths open or tappingRule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

Lack of punctuality.
A person not doing what they say they will, without informing you.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment
