Pet Peeves

[The Heretic]

Really, anything longer than 22 minutes one one side of a 12" is a bit of a squeeze where quality starts to suffer.

thats what she said...

The pub debate every year like clockwork on Easter Friday.  Unreal.

Sneaky fucks trying to undermine you in work. Maybe it's just me but when a peer sends emails to you and CC's your shared manager stating utterly fucking obvious "insights" under the guise of appearing engaged and proactive when they opted out of doing the actual work in the first place, well, it makes the day cloudy. I have no problem with people shedding their dignity and chasing management roles as they see fit but this needless CC'ing culture and empty bullshittery is too much, cunts trying to take credit for obvious approaches to work they couldn't do themselves. Getting gems like:

"Can I ask you to do a little bit of a breakdown with a more customer focus approach?"

"Thanks bud for following this one up, much appreciated!"

"That simple explanation would probably go much better with the customer if you know what I mean?"

does not make for a happy workplace.

Passive aggressive cuntery.

its cuntish alright but every so often these boyos make the mistake of getting it so wrong in the point that they are making and you have the pleasure of correcting them in a reply to all...like the fella a few weeks ago at work who denied approving a particular action and cc'd the world and then was sent a screenshot back of his approval mail......lovely

Car got clamped.  This is not my week

Jesus hates you this week!

When you've got the basis of a decent riff but can't get it just right now matter how long you're working on it
Maybe it's just shit and I haven't realised it yet

Thieving ticketmaster cunts. I have no idea where they snuck this in during the process of getting a Killing Joke ticket but I certainly didn't add it at any point.

Billed Separately
You added Missed Event Ticket Insurance: €3.58/per ticket

I think, in addition to not paying over €50 for a ticket, I might just boycott Ticketmaster altogether. They suck the enjoyment out of what should be a joyful experience with the relentless sneakiness of their greed.

That happened me before. Just contact them with your reference number and tell them you didn't mean to purchase that product. They'll refund you the cost.

Cheers, request logged. They're so fucking sneaky with it, fuck sake, they really get under my skin. It's like dealing with a pantomime villain, there is no honour or respect at all in how they deal with their customers. It's almost funny how brazenly cunty they are. I really don't want to have to deal with the cunts ever again.

It's like Ryanair, more and more companies do it. They hope people will just want to get to the end as quickly as possible and spam past anything not noticing those 'extras' are ticked or not ticked in some cases.

Similar to when you sign up for anything, you get links to the terms and service which are pages long and companies know 9/10 people won't read them.

That's what really pisses me off. I'm very conscious of getting opted into mailing lists or data sharing checkboxes which are ticked by default - and I copped at least two along the seemingly simple process of ordering a "ticket" here. I didn't see this fucking thing anywhere and, that they hide this somewhere but, by default, add the charge to your fee, it really gets to me. It's just such a shitty, honourless way to do business. I'm too old to be dealing with this type of shit. If you went into a physical shop and were treated with the same level of utter contempt, you'd chin the cunt and never go back again. Because they have the power to prevent us seeing the performers we love, however, we just get the butter and bend over. Fuck them. I grow tired of feeling violated just because I wanted to see a fucking band play some fucking songs.

Today I was violated by the doctor for the first time..

Today I was violated by the doctor for the first time..  

My doctor fancies himself as a bit of a Paul Daniels. Every time I'm in the middle of my prostate examination he reaches his two hands round and says; "Now that's what I call MAGIC..!!"
