Back in the day, when I had up to 100 staff, whose average age was about 20.07 years, we had mandatory quarterly "launches". It comprised a bit of a spiff, company goals, targets and such bollox, then we would hit the pub or club with a free bar for a couple of hours. Everybody got "drink" vouchers, and most switched from their normal pint of piss to exotic cocktails with coloured umbrellas. These events always took place midweek so at the end of my spiff I would warn EVERYONE to be in on time next day, regardless of condition. We frequently had a sorry looking bunch next day. One lad, in mid tech support conversation had to ask his customer to hold, while he threw up in his litter bin. Game fellow, he continued without missing a beat. I used to get the team leaders to bring around bacon butties which righted some and made others worse.

People who drink to excess and are off colour the next day piss me off.

Not that you've ever done that, hey Kev? 

[dave500]

which gives rise to the term"sick as a #$%*en dog"

"Pork until you puke"?

Super annoyed as USPS has managed to lose 2/5 packages I was supposed to have delivered this weekend. What are the odds?!

[dave500]

those odds are 2.5 to 1

[vfourfreak]

That is very odd !

Mo, are you pissed off ? I would be.

Wearying day at work today. Just installing software on heaps of PCs, boring and repetitve. Enter Licence key, hit "I agree" then "Suivant" and "Suivant" and so on . . .
We need better procedures and some day I'll dust off my old BPI green belt and do some real work, for now I am just the PC guy. Whatever, I just turned 57 , what do I know ?  Getting ready to knock off, I'm crossing the school yard in front of the assembly hall and suddenly  a torrent of people began to emerge, all in fine fettle. It seems that while I was slaving away in empty classrooms, parents and students were at a big enjoyable bash  with the school management including my boss, and  I never got invited !
Oh wtf, I did not feel left out, in any case I'm off home. Except I see that everybody is trying to squeeze out of one half of the double door. And worse, lots of folk are lingering at the doorway doing the cheek  kissing ceremony, creating a choke point. Pandemonium reigns as others are trying to leave and, encountering a log jam begin the usual push from behind in the French detestation of queues or even having to wait for a moment.
Being only a simple PC guy, and Irish to boot, I think in a very basic and practical fashion to go over and open the second leaf of the doorway, suddenly releasing a flood of pent up exiters who then practically bowled over the kissers. No real danger to anybody, but it was fun to see. However there is no facility to block the door open, I have to hold it. I'm ready to do that for a few moments until the flow of happy parents, students and staff subside then I can get out of Dodge and get my train home. But the flow is very strong, and I'm getting fed up after about 5 minutes have passed.
Like a harbour wall, I have formed the lee for groups of kissers to kiss in a sort of shelter behind me and my door. Okie Dokie, they're out of the way unimpeding the flow of people still streaming from the hall, but I'm getting restless, I have done my part and train time is looming.
Then this lady arrives straight towards me. You could say she looked benign, or in a worse frame of mind, Bovine, all 5' of her. With a simple sort of smile stuck to her face, she had spied somebody she wanted to kiss on both cheeks (!) and she was single minded in her mission to go do it. But I am in her way. Above the general hubub I try to explain that I need to hold the door open. Nothing doing she wants me out of the way and starts to push me. OK granny I say to my ever attentive self, it's all yours. I let go of the door, she reflexively has to catch it, and as I walk away and look back, she's stuck there holding said door, doing goldfish sort of facial movements wondering, no doubt, how she will get to kiss her friends while the hordes stream past her.

I hate the term "sheeple", but I rather think I saw it for real today.
People in crowds piss me off.

Its like the fairytale about the ferry. You had to shove the oar in the hand of another person to free yourself of the work.

[Stev-o]

Ok, I'm pissed off.  I have when newbys ask stoopid questions without even thinking about how to do a task.

How do you fill it with oil? Really?? WTF idiot?!

I know what you mean Stev-o, a compatriot of mine sings about "telling people things they're too lazy to know" .
I had a few tiresome guests of that ilk this Summer. In this day and age when so much information is available only a Google away, shoot we should all be geniuses !
Anyway, for entertainment  I give you Van Morrison, the Belfast cowboy :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8d-3RsO6wU

Dumbasses piss me off when I (and others) have a bike listed on fleabay and I get a question "Is it two stroke or fourstroke?" LMGTFY! If they don't know the difference then maybe they should not be let near a bike.

Mmmmnnn, I had a late lunch of Porterhouse steak, with mashed (home grown) taters with (home grown) spring onions mixed thru. Just simple fare, but tasty. All while sitting in the big leather chair watching the Sandown 500, with a glass of Chivas not too far away.

Trying to think of something to be pissed off about, but nothing comes to mind, except that I can't understand why big leather chairs don't have inbuilt toilets? What an oversight! Cheers, Terry.

I think everybody has been too shy to ask, Terry. But I am brave. Do you mean for N°1s, N°2s or both ?

Just trying to think of the engineering challenges.

The biggest challenge would be sharing the lounge room with him if he had one of those things. ......

Completely agree mate !
but I have the luxury of being on the other side of the world, really as far away as one can be, except for being in orbit.

Think big guys a bidet with warm water if the temp is below 18c and a warm air fan ( was going say blower but that leads to madness ).
Bill the demon.

[vfourfreak]

Goodness Bill !

Are you suggesting Terry takes up "tea bagging' while on the pot ?

Hmm come to think of it . . .

This really is peurile toilet humour. Fun, n'est pas ?

I am pissed that nobody wants my stuff.

[Terry in Australia]

I'm pissed off that you live so far away Joe, I want the front end and the Harley wheels! Oh well, back to the old drawing board, if I incorporate an exhaust fan and particulate filter system into my pooper lounge, it should make the surrounding environs very guest friendly indeed!

If you ship it to me, I'll store it in my shed for you.  If you need someone to cover costs I'm sure Terry would oblige .

Can you incorporate a screen as well.....

This is enough to piss anyone off.
The ol' mate who's in his early 60's now has recently had one of his legs cut off because his veins were fcuked from smoking over many years.

The thing is that he loves cigarettes because it's been a part of his life and he aint stopping even though he's been told that it will eventually put him in a pine box.

So he went into the Royal Darwin Hossie for the chop job and then he got a fcuken bone infection that prolonged the stay.
Eventually, he came good and they let him out in a wheel chair.

In the meantime, his missus had been battling cancer and she died just after he got home.
 To top things off, the fcuken bank foreclosed on his mortgage and he lost his house.

 So now he's staying with his son who's a useless bastard that doesn't do the right thing and is happy not to get a fcuken job but instead to smoke weed and drink piss and is a general bludger.

I'd like to punch the #$%*s lights out because that pisses me off.
