What grinds your gears?

the opposite sex always wants more!!!

[CCS]

So you tell her you'll explain after lunch?

Look, my lunch break is unpaid and I suspect yours isn't paid either. So if someone wants to annoy your balls at lunchtime just explain that you're off the clock and you'll get back to them during regular business hours.

It's hard doing that without looking like the asshole.. even if that person is the fifth person to annoy you when you're off the clock.

I always go for an aisle seat, although even then, after calculating how many people have boarded, and the chances that they are all window and middle seat types, I still end up waiting for some window seat muppet to arrive before I can sit down uninterrupted.

Arrrggghhhh!!

So I check in early and try and do a seat swap because, surprise surprise, I have a window seat. Sorry, your ticket does not allow this function. Bastard cheap flight I guess. Check anyway, yerp, 11C is free. But I can't have it. Oh well, at least its the westward window and I won't get blinded.

Sitting there, about to have a snooze, and who sits down in 11C???

Roger Sutton.

I used to tolerate him. Now he's on the list.

People who indicate right when going straight through a roundabout, but even worse; people who are adamant that that is the correct way. Give it up. You are wrong.

It surprises me that these people have driving licenses.

If my memory serves me right then the rule used to be (20+ years ago ) indicate right when entering and then left if you were going straight. Most drivers didn't (and still don't) actually indicate at all anyway, and those that did this were likely to confuse a large portion of drivers. Common sense dictates that going from right to left and largely following a straight line is redundant.

I may be suffering from dementia of course and be wrong about this but it would be interesting to see if this was officially changed at some point between then and now. I imagine that those who do it wrong sat their test a long time ago and haven't been told any different.

(disclaimer, I only got my restricted yesterday, so what do I know)

Pretty sure it was always "right if you're going in, left if you're leaving"

Now it's "right if you're going right but left once you're leaving, left if you're going left, nothing if you're going straight but then left once you're leaving"

In Aussie I'm pretty sure it's just "right if you're going right. left if you're going left. nothing if you're going straight"

Yes. Put simply, you indicate as you exit the roundabout. This has been made official but people have no fucking clue. I think there needs to be an advertising campaign about basic points of road rules because so few people understand them. Who to give way to, when to indicate, how multi-lane roundabouts work etc. People have no fucking concept.

It never changed. How it is now is how it's always been. They just made a fuss about it a couple of years back and people thought they had changed the rules, which they hadn't. They just drew attention to them.

I still dont understand why people have such a hard time with it. It's really not that complicated. I give people leeway when it comes to retardedly shaped roundabouts, but most of the time people have no excuse.

[Cyberbob]

How did people not understand a simple 'right if you're going around, left if you're leaving"

As someone sitting there waiting to get into the roundabout, I just need to know if you're potentially gonna be getting in my way. If you're indicating right, you're going to be. If you're indicating lefton the quarter circle before me, I'm sweet to go.

edit: After the rule change, now you have to look out for people not indicating at all, or indicating right, yea?

Still sounds fucking simple.

[Vrtigo]

i completely agree with bob here. with the supposedly "correct" way, there is no difference between going strait and "oops, i forgot to indicate". this is unsafe.

when required to indicate right when entering, you clearly show your intent. you then indicate left when you want to depart. simple as fuck, and you dont get confusion over "did he forget to indicate or not?"

the current rule is fucked and ill never adhere to it. if it inconveniences you for the sake of safety, so be it.

edit: there is potential for it to be unsafe if in a multi lane roundabout, but this can be easily nullified if you just use the outer lane.

[wazza]

Agree with Bob
cheers

With the correct way, if you're going straight you enter the roundabout not indicating. The only person that could be "confused" as you put it would be the person immediately to your left, who would assume that because you are not indicating as you enter that you are going straight.

You're saying that they might mistake you for someone turning left but not indicating? Who would do that?

[CCS]

vrtgo must be stupid and confused. If you're going straight ahead, you indicate left as you exit the roundabout. That is the rule.

does it matter? why introduce that uncertainly in something that requires the utmost safety?

and no, im saying that cant assume anything about your intentions, because you havent clearly shown them. you might argue that not indicating shows your intent, but youd be wrong.

By indicating right when you're going straight you introduce uncertainty for the people entering opposite you - the rules as they are now make much more sense.

[Luse]

It grinds my gears when useless fucktards get promoted purely because they've been in the same position for a long time. My workload has tripled because the latest addition to my 3 person team is fucking useless, doesn't want to learn anything, and as soon as he has a little bit of after hours work he's sick for the rest of the week.

His attitude stinks as well. He'll refuse to do anything if it's inconvenient to him then boast proudly about 'telling the man' to stick it. That work still needs to be done, usually by me, thanks pal.

[CCS]

Sounds like he's in for a period of extended newbie hazing.

So... are you his boss/team leader or what?

[Luse]

He and I are 2 members of a 3 person team. The 3rd guy is the team member who also has a bunch of other responsibilities.

Edit: Our team leader and his manager are aware of the issue now. The guy showed up at 11 and left at 3:30 yesterday, called in sick today. This meant they had to reassign all his jobs to me and found a bunch of stuff that was due for completion at 1 today. So I've just finished doing all of his work from the past 2 days and am full of ze rage.

[Luse]

3rd guy is team leader*

[oOo Dragon oOo]

Fuckers being fuckheads at work. Fuck Em All!

[Luse]

On a good note, all work has been done, my bosses are pretty stoked with the amount of work I've completed in the past few weeks (especially when comparing it to the dribble he's done), and now I'm gonna go drink beer and make some burger patties for our work BBQ this afternoon.

For some reason, HR have to approve the blocking of websites. So off I goes to speak to my HR person.

Me: Pls block this website for flash games, a person in my team was spending too much time on it. I have spoken to them about it, but I want it blocked all the same.
HR: Hrm, how about you just "manage it with the employee"
Me: I have, but I still want it to be blocked
HR: Ok lets see how it goes with managing it then we'll review
Me: ok ok chill out brah, we'll do it your way.

*5 min later, receive cc'd email*

HR: "Please block this website as discussed with X"

I know I got my way, but I'm just so confused. HR y u troll?
