Things you'd like to say, but can't

Oh the joy of working with someone that leaves the front door open when it's -6!

I was out and about last night when it was pretty cold and walked past a house with a bedroom window wide open! I assumed that either someone was smoking in the room (in which case why not just walk out into the cold to do it, rather than ending up with a cold room) OR they had the heating way too high and wanted to cool down (in which case, turn the heating down).

Why on earth have you tied a 3 foot tall stuffed toy of a Polar Bear half way up a tree?

For goodness sake, it's not the snowpocalypse.

How does 'working from home' work if you can't access the work systems while you are at home?

(Took documents into the council offices for my Mum's blue badge application: none of the staff were in, because of the snow, but the one who did answer the phone when reception called them couldn't access the system to check the application reference number.)

I suggest that you heed your own advice ...

One of the most primitive digital ad formats was the pop-up ad used in the early days of the Internet. Users would see large windows unexpectedly “popping up” in front of them surely not to be missed. Eventually, pop-up blockers were created to provide a more positive user experience so that web browsing was not irritating.

... and don't create a pop-up over it while other people are still reading it!

Stop bl@@dy sniffling

When your daughter turns 16, move out/kick your partner out and live your life as you choose. That way we won't have to listen to your constant moaning all the time.

"I don't mind teaching you how to use calipers: there's absolutely no shame in not knowing how to use them, and it is my job to teach you stuff.

However, it would be much easier if you would stop pretending you know everything, use them incorrectly, and get a completely inaccurate reading from them, and then repeat the mistake because you wern't listening."

I probably will tell him this soon, but yesterday morning, after chewing him over for being late, again, probably wasn't the time...

Stop bl@@dy sniffling

I did that, and then realised that I sniff just as much when I have a cold...

Dear Katie/Jordan (delete as appropriate to whatever sells this week)

Please stop referring to your drug habit as "self medicating"

Sniffing coke is not self medication, even if you are snorting lines off the top of the grand piano.

Your so called "celebrity status" does not elevate you above any other addict, or the problems they face.

Hmmm... you really didn't want to do that, did you?

Customer: How will this contract work after Brexit?

Me: I have absolutely no idea.

This used to annoy me greatly, along with many other similar things. But after a while I embraced them in an ironic sort of fashion because #YOLO.
