I could argue the opposite being one of only 7 males in a dept of 70 plus I feel excluded from the conversations about beauty products, fashion etc and if I try to join in by commenting that some one is looking nice today or is wearing a nice outfit I get the leer followed by the what do you think I look like on other days.

I just keep my thoughts to myself and save them for the male male conversations when the girls think we are talking sports ;)

Firms urged to crack down on office football chat

A management body says sports chat in the office can be a "gateway" to more laddish behaviour.

The feminazi will look to ban farting & burping next.

I know that as time passes the later generations forget and being glued to your iPhone probably precludes anything prior to the nineties but you’d have thought someone in the PR dept might have noticed that their spokesperson is called Ann Francke and it’s Holocaust Memorial Day :(

I can't decide if the article is
a) Deliberately phrased to be divisive
b) Badly reported
or
c) She really is that, well, words fail me so I'll have to go with 'barking'

I've never worked in an office in my life, my wife thinks I'd last about 10 minutes before being sacked for calling somebody a **** , even if they are a ****.

"It's very easy for it to escalate from VAR talk and chat to slapping each other on the back and talking about their conquests at the weekend."

This is the sort of **** I'm talking about , ***** making up rules about what you can talk about because somebody might not be included or offended.

I know somebody that works with a colleague that has "mental health" issues but it's all ******** , they just knows how to manipulate things to how they want them, everybody knows it and it's made the atmosphere toxic

They ran to the manager in tears because the rest of the office were arranging a night out and didn't include them.
He came over asking why , didnt like the reply , you cant tell us who we go out with after 5pm

As they say , they've ****** on their chips.

That is such toss, though isn't it. I can't recall that happening since I was about 18!

I’ve just called EON to say my father in law has passed away, gave them the account number and said I’m on the death certificate and the executor.

The call centre operator in broken English told me “only the account holder can make changes”. Spent 30 minutes trying to explain to this person he was buried 10 days ago.

Eventually got transferred to a UK office to sort this out, I can now see why people get peed off with these outsourced offices.

That is worth ranting about. Generally, call centres are ok at dealing with this. After all, it's hardly unusual and is the one common factor across their entire customer base: they will all, one day, be dead. Pillocks.

The thing I've decided to rant about is a disappointing and marked decline in the quality of womans' underwear. The slow death of stockings in daily use is a sad thing. No wonder our planet is going to **** in a handcart. Bring back stockings and save the planet. Or at least give half its population something to rejoice in.

If stockings are going out of fashion what are Scousers borrowing off the Mrs to go down the Post Office?



Just sitting on a train and the woman next to me starts vapping, I thought she’ll have a couple of puffs and stop. Five minutes later she’s still at it and I’m beginning to smell like a vanilla pod. So I said “excuse me but you’re not supposed to smoke on here.”

She then goes off on some “me too” tirade about being aggressive to young girls, FFS, why not just say sorry and stop?

Off to find some Brut so I can smell more manly again.

Soon people will be able to do whatever they want because even if they're being utter ***** it'll be your fault for asking them to stop.

That man invaded my safe space , arrest him

Google, for allowing third party companies to advertise for free services yet charge you an extortionate amount.
For example, just search for 'renew drivers license', and top search is a third party who will happily take £71 instead of the £14 the DVLA ask. The £71 will appear as DVLA (Espana). Oh and you hand over your passport number, NI Number, address, mother's maiden name etc.
