Boy racer types who drive around with a small cuddly toy or something similar hanging off their rear bumper almost touching the ground. Why? What's that about?!

Isn't that some retarded HR system that ignores the facts/reasons and just uses % days off as a trigger without discrimination. The name will come to me at some point. Something like a No-Fault Point System.

Its probably the Bradford Formula used in HR. Number of Occurences * Number of Occurences * Number of Days

Possibly being given a stage 1 warning at work for amount of time off work in the last 12 months, a grand total of 35 days, 5 of which were taken 2 weeks ago, the other 30 were when I had my knee op. Being signed off by the doc at the time isn't taken into account, which is fucking retarded.

Retarded?!  Sounds borderline illegal to me.  Have you spoken to an employment lawyer?

I think it is illegal, especially if you've been signed off by a Doctor. You could get them for unfair dismissal if you lost your job for it. Or even constructive dismissal, espcially if they're treating others differntly. Have a chat with a union rep if you're part of a union.

Mice between the floorboards of my flat chewing away loudly from 3am to 6am, meaning I can't sleep.

The fact our flat is one of three in the same converted house that all have different landlords, as well as a separate building manager, meaning everyone says its not their job to sort stuff out like there being mice between the floorboards.

Oh, and thfe fuckers who drive down Camden Road on unsilenced Quadbikes at 2am too.

Cats piss me off too. And they're not actually in our flat, so unless the cat has the inclination to go between the floorboards it won't be much help.

Use humane traps baited with chocolate.  Rats and mice love chocolate (more than cheese).

We've got traps out, baited with peanut butter and chocolate (as mice apparently love Snickers),but there are none in the apartment, just undeneath it. The ground floor flat below are doing building work so it's probably a case of we can't do anything because as many as we kill are just going to re-appear through all the holes downstairs. Luckily we're moving in a couple of weeks.

Banks in general but..........

When you go into a bank and there is a big queue and maybe 2 tellers open. Then some gormless work experience cunt  comes up and asks people in the queue if they are paying in, which no fucker ever is. then just stands about doing fuck all, picking his arse.

WHY DONT YOU GET BEHIND THE COUNTER AND OPEN ANOTHER FUCKING WINDOW YOU CLUELESS WASTE OF BOLLOCKS.
