So a gormless cunt I work with hurt his back lifting a heavy mail sack (that he filled himself, over the 11kg limit we are all made well aware of) so now the entire late shift at work have to do a 30min manual handling course with the most boring creepy Father Christmas-lookalike manager in Swindon. The best bit? The fucking prick who caused all this is currently suspended for crashing into the back of a City Link lorry, so he won't be doing it. Angry

Be grateful. The manual handling course will enable you to safely lift nearly half the weight your average airline check-in lady does.

People who stand in front of ticket barriers at stations rummaging through their bag for their ticket as if it comes as a surprise that they might actually need it.

These are the same people that spend an eternity trying to find their credit/debit card at supermarket checkouts when it comes to paying, again it comes as a total surprise that they have to pay for their shopping.

When I get off the busy train at Waterloo station the amount of people walking off heaving trains in big crowds pissing about on their fucking phones really gets on my wick.

What's the matter with you? Don't you understand that getting the latest Fuckbook updates on your distant cousin's toilet habits or Stephen Fry's recent Twat-ter post about goat baiting is the most important thing in the world? Or texting your spouse to tell them that you have just stepped off onto the platform or checking what the weather might be outside the station just because you have been so engrossed with your fucking phone on the journey that you didn't take 50 milliseconds to look out of the window at the real world?

You really do need to have a good look at yourself. Oh, you probably do quite a lot as you haven't had your focus fixed at 18" for most of your waking hours. Apologies.

Pretty certain we have to do the manual handing and lifting course every two years as standard.
Not sure it's related.
Will PM to see if it's who I think it is.

The ones doing this on egress from a station aren't really a major concern it's the cunts that do it when driving that bother me....the numbers you see just walking or pedaling around, is really quite scary., no wonder a day rarely passes without some sort of RTA in Swindon.

Swindon station wouldn't be such an issue as its tiny but at Waterloo its a real pain in the arse. One day there was a woman walking towards the escalators to go to the underground with her headphones on holding an Ipad watching Friends! If ever there was someone that 'deserved' to be pushed down the escalator it was this waste of oxygen!

I know it's annoying but probably not life threatening....messing about on your smartphone is definitely a 21st Century addiction, I daresay the people that do it when driving know it's wrong but just can't help themselves. My main current concern as a pedestrian, is the seemingly increasing numbers who just drive straight off the road and hit a house or end up in a ditch.

I'm not complaining about the weight limits, more the training needed due to some asshat who doesn't even have to do the damned course.

The prick driving instructor 'Brunel' who pulled out in front of me in Morrison's car park despite my right of way. Yes it's a shit layout there but it's still clear to anyone with sense who has right of way and it's clearly marked.

A few things this week.

A. I dislike umbrellas in general but when its raining, what is the need for people with golf umbrellas the size of a small country. Is it any wonder that people keep banging into it you prick?
B. (generally the minority) Cyclists going through red lights. Some arsehole nearly hit me as I stepped onto the road when the green man appeared. He did apologise to be fair to him but he must have seen the lights changing?
C. People walking whilst playing on their phones. This seems to be more and more common.
D. People waiting for a bus and leaving no space on the pavement for people to walk on. Why don't people use common sense any more?
E. Runners annoy me. They seem to think they own the pavement. The other day when I was walking along Embankment some guy running towards me actually said 'beep beep' as if I was to move out of his way. Ringpiece. Run on an athletics track if you don't want people getting in your way ya phallus.
