    Prescott might have thought you were brown rod, or red-stick or some other flunky.

    I was walking through with a couple of coffees when then Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott comes striding down the corridor after Question Time which he has stood in for. There was about 8 aides with him.

    I opened the door(holding two coffees mugs in one hand) and he just stormed through without a word, then another, then another. All the time, I'm holding coffee and all the time not a glance or a word.

    The last guy was going to do the same so I thought bollocks & I let go of the door just before the last one got there. Being a heavy door, it swung closed and slammed him into the wall.

    "Sorry about that!" I said and walked off

    When saying please, try thinking at them very hard, like telepathically 'just do it you fkng retard'
    Thank you, telepathically, is 'Fck you,anus face'



    "Fck you, anus face" thats my new saying!

    Nothing to do with my job really except the stupid bint this morning was beyond rude. We're all busy but 99.9% of people have the manners to say thanks.

    Oh and BTW

    Fully agree with you.

    My youngest daughter is 14 and I still ignore her til I have the necessary "please", that goes for my other kids too but she is the worst culprit.
