Oh no - I hope it's not too painful and heals quicklyPeople who message you just when it suits them, then you don't hear from them for ages again, until they are bored/ filling in time on a bus journey or whatever.
One of my sisters will 'reply' with something that has nothing to do with what you messaged them, I asked her recently 'did you get my message' because it was a bit like...
Me 'I broke my leg in 10 places'
Her 'The weather is rubbish here today'.
I'm exaggerating - I didn't break my leg but anyway.
Needed to get that off my chest!
@Black.bird - I was just making up an example of how my sister replies to messages. No broken leg involved!Oh no - I hope it's not too painful and heals quickly

People who damage your possessions and don't bother leaving a note or contacting you to say what happened (let alone apologise).
I have a storage cage in the basement of my apartment building where I store, among other things, my bike. I went down to get it after work, only to discover someone has driven into the side of the cage (which is made of fencing material), denting my bike in the process.
I asked the building managers to check CCTV - of course they weren't working at the time it happened
I'm an idiot ... I completely missed reading your line about not actually breaking your leg 🫣@Black.bird - I was just making up an example of how my sister replies to messages. No broken leg involved!
Ugh, that is beyond annoying. I hope you can get the bike sorted. Some people just don't give a damn.
Isn't it extraordinary too how the cctv never appears to be working in those cases. I have read similar a couple of times on Facebook pages where cars got damaged in supermarket car parks. The cctv wasn't working or didn't cover that area
Ah no, you're a very kind poster.I'm an idiot ... I completely missed reading your line about not actually breaking your leg 🫣
Nice to see you posting again Basil !When you ask for a sausage roll in Gregg's and they ask "meat or vegan?". Well of course I want a meat one, that's what a sausage roll is, it's sausage MEAT wrapped in puff pastry! If I wanted a vegan sausage roll I'd say " Can I have a vegan sausage roll please".
And anyway, it must be obvious to the assistant I'm not vegan as I don't look pale, unwell and tired!
This thread might help.Being micromanaged by my new boss is driving me bonkers. Am in the role for 20 years & we were friends as well as colleagues on an equal footing until January. He is now breathing down my neck, constantly looking for “updates”, repeating himself, throwing his weight around etc etc.
Does anyone know if there is another thread here to help with this please?! He is driving me around the twist! I thought I would stay working in this job for the next 10-15 years, but recently did a job interview and got offered a new job elsewhere!
He's probably doing it to show everyone else how scary he can be ... you're his target as he knows you well so feels comfortable doing it to you. It's wrong, and needs to be knocked on the head STAT!Being micromanaged by my new boss is driving me bonkers.

Thanks so much!!!This thread might help.
Annoying things your work colleagues do all the time? #5
... Plus, feel free to post things about your job that you loathe, or which annoy you .. anything you'd like to get off your chest :)tattle.life
Personally, I would have it out with him, politely and assertively. I have no patience with that kind of nonsense anymore.
You sound like my husband. I make a passing comment on an idea and before Iv finished he is on route to b&q, starts the job however then gets distracted by another job mid way through🫣I'm annoying myself. I'm very impulsive and when I get an idea I want it done immediately. My husband who is the annoying adult who doesnt take my tit isn't offering to take me to Elliots in his van to pick up all the materials I require for the latest DIY project that literally popped into my head 15 minutes ago. I've drawn out a sketch and shown him and he agreed it would look good. I'm now in a mood that he isnt offering his carpentry expertise (Obviously he's the one that would have to build, drill, fix and make it all for me as I'm more of a project manager ).
Elliotts is closed and we dont even have the money for it but that's beside the point
