People who say 'Good evening' to someone who's a bit late

[EternalOptimist]

I hate it when the birds in finance lick their lips and say 'mmmm, ruggedly handsome and charming to boot'

lissen up ladeez, tell me something I DONT know

The other one that pisses me off is when someone comes in early and some one thinks they are original by saying "tulip the bed?"

I think that's just you and it's probably because you smell.

One of the guys just arrived, 0910 Dutch time, having driven through some pretty heavy traffic to get here. You know how he feels; knackered, needing a cup of coffee and just wants to quietly get on with his work, but of course there's always a smartypants, in every office in the world, and as the guy walks in and summons up whatever good cheer he has left after the drive to work, he says 'good morning', as you do. Of course, smartypants 'scrum master', who arrived only 5 minutes earlier, says 'Good evening' in his usual sarcastic fashion. Now I know that smacking people in the chops at work is highly unprofessional, but I'm tempted.
FFS, if someone's late once in a while, give him break; he's probably had a pretty stressful morning and doesn't need some sarcastic pillock making smarty-arsed remarks.

To whit the reply is, sorry your wife was late making me breakfast this morning.

You may well be on an English speaking project but just because the Europeans speak english doesn't mean they have an english sense of humor
The last Dutch PM that I had didn't even say good morning or good evening he just arrived at my desk at 9:05 and said "BS you are late for the meeting"

Ah yes, the Dutch proudly tell you that they are being 'direct'. They don't really care that there are 7 billion other people in the world who'd call them 'rude' or 'impolite'.

A test manager from many moons ago would rock-up at 10:30 and with a clap of their hands say "Let's get started team!"

Never mind half of us had been in the office for 3.5 hours prior to this.

Even better was, when I knocked off about 18:00 the test manager had the f-ing temerity to check their watch and roll their eyes.

I find it funny in this 24/7 world that there is something magical about 9am

people who believe getting out of bed is a skill should be bred out of existence.

WHS - it's all about flexibility. The 9am-er's are usually die hard jobs worths who'd balk at the idea of answering an email at the weekend.

Poision the water supply and lace all bedding with the antidote, only to be activated at 10 a.m.
