aisle seat sitters are scum - tbh I'd often rather stand than go through the harrumphing, muttering and bag-wrestling that accompanies a polite request to use the "spare" seat.

^^ true dat, most people who request aisle seating are disgusting savages throughout my interactions with them

yeah yeah KBP, "in response to" then. I know yr shopping bags need that seat more than me, or an oap, or a pregnant woman, or someone on crutches.

The worst are OAPs who sit in aisle seats. "Can I sit in that seat please?" "I'M AN OAP!!!!!!" they screech. Fucking harpies.

further savages: bus drivers who see you running to get onto the bus and then close the doors and pull away as you reach the entrance. When I am rich enough to buy a rocket propelled grenade launcher, or Predator style minigun, they will be the first target acquired.

People in the workplace who, evidently incapable of using a loo brush, leave the porcelain spattered with cack.Equally, people who use a loo brush while the main body of cack is still in the water, resulting in a loo brush heavily festooned with a papier mache-like crust of shitty bog roll.

aisle seat on the bus is legit if its mild out and you don't want to be next to the heater which is stupidly on on the left side (this only applies to some london double deckers)

People who push a trolley round the supermarket then, on getting to the checkout, porterage the contents of the trolley into two baskets, which they have to push along the ground with their feet so heavy are they, so they can use the quick, 'baskets only' checkout.

People who ignore the one way signs in supermarket carparks because it means they can exit the carpark about ten seconds quicker than driving into the correct lane. Especially when they refuse to budge when I'm driving down the lane that they are coming the wrong way up.

Hi, is it savage to make changes to the temperature of a busy office w/o asking? Maybe I am overly talkative in my need to ask people if they mind windows being opened or the heating being on, but the fan heater is noisy and makes the floor vibrate and makes the atmosphere v. dry and stuffy, and it drives me nuts that this thing is unilaterally controlled by a woman whose idea of "cold" is about 10 degrees above everyone else's
xpost this is true but supermarket car park designers seem to delight in hiding the one-way signs and exit signs in places that can only be seen after you've given up and randomly picked a lane to go down
― canna kirk (a passing spacecadet), Wednesday, 27 January 2010 11:59 (fourteen years ago) link
I hear that...in my old office the temperature controller would literally wear a fleece and shiver during an august heatwave while the rest of us begged and pleaded for ventilation, our words garbled as we drowned in thick sweat, our tongues shrivelled to pellets with the dehydration.
disgusting savages - middle-aged men with superficially cacophonous teenage boy-racer cars who spend every sodding evening revving their engines in the car park while we're trying to get a two-year-old to sleep.
even more disgusting savagery - fit and healthy people who write to the newspaper full of righteous indignation that some busybody asked them not to park in the disabled space at the supermarket. "why should I walk another ten feet, just because I can? it's a free country. political correctness gone mad."
― m the g, Wednesday, 27 January 2010 12:09 (fourteen years ago) link
this is a constant thing in our office, to the letter as you've described. there should be someone in your floor/building responsible for the environmental conditions covering this- if one person is consistently turning it up or down (ours is frequently set at 26C) then you should probably have a word.

geting to work in bermuda shorts when it's 1.5C outside- no small feat.

they only look small cos it's cold.......
― Not even if your arse had nipples (darraghmac), Wednesday, 27 January 2010 12:21 (fourteen years ago) link
Sorry harbl! Actually I feel kind of bad about this because I thought I was always the coldest person in a given room, so it is kind of amazing to me to find this happening.
(Also I work somewhere with no dress code so I spend all winter wearing many layers, giant sloppy sweatshirt etc - I appreciate that smarter dress often requires women to freeze themselves while men sweat under smart jackets and button shirts)

ha i don't really care, tbh i agree the cold person shouldn't be controlling the tempi loved working somewhere with no dress code too, that really helped
― harbl, Wednesday, 27 January 2010 12:25 (fourteen years ago) link
no dress code = I work from home
― i'm with stupid ☞ (dyao), Wednesday, 27 January 2010 12:26 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah I guess I sort of did make that up, tbh haven't tried to dress "smart" at work since working a place with a no-trousers-for-women code, which was COLD in the winter! Also I hate skirts so that didn't last long. Women's work trousers/blouses are often pretty thin too but yeah, there is more layering potential there.
Damn this thread for making me suspect coworker "crop dusts" on his way out to lunch (everyone else eats in the office), but maybe it's just that his packed lunch always smells unholy terrible

What about a colleague who maintains that they are "allergic" to air conditioning AND fluorescent lighting? That these both give them "really bad migraines", as if there were another kind, and thus must be switched off at all times.

clicking away from Noodle Vague and darraghmac talking about God and capitalism then trying to go back but accidentally clicking on this tab to see them talking about cold offices - confusing. The inventor of tabbed browsing is a disgusting savage.
