Covered for my colleague for 2 weeks and I didn't even get a 'thank you' in return.
I did pretty damned well considering I had about 2 days of training, the boss moaned at me once about a backlog which was on the first day and since then no complaints.
She kept pointing out things that I'd set aside (for her return) and would say 'why haven't you done this?!' and I'd reply 'you didn't teach me that process and no other staff members knew how to do it'.
Plus she was a being a total snob, apparently the program I used at home (when I had to take OUR extra work home) wasn't a new enough version, although the boss has said this makes no difference.
And I thought as she returned today we could finally split the work load- NO. She didn't do one order- and left early (leaving me with the work) because tonight she needs to 'catch up on tv cus there was no tv on holiday' *insert rolleyes.
That doesn't sound trivial at all. How rude! I'd have been fuming. Might even call for a juvenile and sarcastic "You. Are. Welcome." ^_^
Youtube videos automatically looping to play a completely unrelated and unwanted clip straight after the inital video ends. Why introduce such a stupid feature, you planks?!

If it's the thing I'm thinking of, there's an option to switch off that Autoplay. Click on the Settings (cog thing) and it's there. It drove me up the damn wall as well.
@wampa - yes, that's Sod's Law in action. Take an umbrella, it doesn't rain. Leave it at home, chucks it down.
Those that get off a bus and believe that a zebra crossing is automatically following along behind it.
The amount of people that I see, especially in London and the Old Kent Road, that get off a bus, walk to the rear of it and seemingly assume that by the very nature of having travelled on the bus they have carte blanche to immediately walk out into the road and cross it with impunity and disregard for passing cars, is remarkable.
It's not even blind stupidity because if you dare to look at them with a "do you mind getting out of the road" they glare back with something approaching righteous indignation. Fools.

It is what I'm on about, thanks for the tip I would try googling for an answer but I don't know how to concisely phrase the issue
After assiduously avoiding all mirrors, walking in town past the dark windows of dozens of closed down businesses and thinking 'look at the state of her and realising it's me in the reflection >:(
Pub managers who decide to shut their establishment half an hour before the quoted time because they deem it not busy enough. Particularly when I've got a cab booked for what I thought was closing time, even more so when they don't even tell anyone they are doing it, simply turn of the tills and pumps and leg it upstairs, and yet more so when they leave a very nervous 18 year old girl alone at the bar to explain to the remaining punters that they were going home thirsty.
I had to read that a couple of times before I realised you actually worked at the pub!
My local Tesco Express pricing, 500ml bottle of Coke is £1.31p, however most of the time they price 1.25liter bottles of Coke at £1, at the moment they have 2 bottles of 1.75 liters of Coke for £2
Some bottled water does taste odd, like Volvic i'm not a fan of their plain water but dont mind their strawberry one.
Buxton Water has a soapy aftertaste if you drink one of the big bottles, i prefer Highland Spring or Evian Water, although i don't mind Volvic. I've tried the flavoured water & tasted like cordial drinks when you know you haven't put enough cordial juice in it.

She is impossible to work with. Has the mentality of a 5 year old like today when she didn't bother to say 'hello' or 'goodbye' to me but made sure she said it to everyone else.
I think she feels threatened by me - by the fact that I could run the place without her and my work gets approved quickly, she feels the need to pick holes and try to rile me.
The fact that I always have an umbrella in the car boot, but never take it out when it says it may rain, for example if I'm working til 8pm, and I know full well the weather says rain all night from 6 onwards, I'll make sure the umbrella is in the boot, go to work, get out of the car (parking nowhere near the door), and leave the umbrella!

Try Home Bargains or B&M or buy Pepsi instead, 99p for 2L at both these stores. I dunno why they bothered opening my local Tesco Express, the prices are so high, hardly anyone shops there.

Within 5 minutes walk of my home there's a Home Bargains & Cool Trader both of which which sell 1.25liter bottles of Coke for £1, i only buy stuff from Tesco Extra if they're on offer, at the mo Tesco Extra have Ginsters slices on offer for £1, normal price £2 something.

Fair enough, that's the only time I buy from there as well. Some of the prices are crazy, they don't even bother trying to compete with their rivals. It must be really boring working there.

Another example one of the Tesco ready meals is priced around £3.50 mark, but on offer at the mo for £1.47.
Bizarre thing is Tesco Extra by mine is always busy, & there are a few discount Supermarkets & Bargain Booze within 5 minutes walk.
When someone who smells uses a cashpoint and then you use it and the smell is still lingering and then the person who uses it next probably thinks that it's you who smells.

Clearly you have a very inconsiderate employer.

You can switch that autoplay feature off.

I pity her to be honest.

Yes! Or referring to Jay Kay as Jamiroquai.
Today I've heard a guy in the office saying "minimun" and "midrift". It's too hot for such annoyance.
