    That's nothing - There's a butterball permie at clientco I've seen waddling in at floor 2 and out at floor 1

    But lift annoyances are nothing besides some dying sick parrot permie sitting right opposite me with a hacking cough, all day long! It isn't even cold yet FFS! What's he been doing? Standing in a pond up to his neck for an hour?! I can already feel his horrid little viruses burrowing into my throat.

    The chunt who gets in at floor 2 and gets out at floor 3.

    And also the chunts who got in, pressed 5, then had a discussion about whether the person they were going to visit was on 6, so pressed that too. Then when the doors opened at 5 decided that was the right floor after all.

    If it wasn't all on clients time I'd be

    started a topic Shooting people in the lift

    Shooting people in the lift

    Maybe I've been in this banking thing too long or down London too long but is it just me?

    Do you ever feel like blowing away the t0ssers in the office lift? If so, which would you start with? Would it be the tw4t in the pinstripe suit and braces, thinking he's Gordon Gecko from the film Wall Street? Will it be Time nice but Dim, the Oxbridge Candidate who's never done a days work in his life? Would it be the legions of 'much cheapness' sort, ferrying their canisters of curry into the building? Would it be yourself as you look at your reflection in the mirror and ask where did it all go wrong?

Working...
