Work has converted a massive car park at the top of campus to a staff only park, accessible by card access. This means that a 300+ carpark is now only used by about 15 people. I can park my car away from other jerks like it's stranded out at sea.

I've got dents on both sides of my doors from cocksuckers who don't pay attention to what they're doing when they get in and out of their vehicle.

However, I have a feeling that work has done this as a way of justifying turning the carpark into something else. "Well, only a few people were using it so we turned into a tire burning yard"...

Okay THIS grinds my gears.

http://thedailyblog.co.nz/2015/06/10/why-on-earth-is-spark-celebrating-10-years-of-hate-speech/

Spark is sponsoring a party WhaleOil is having to celebrate 10 year of being a filthy vile piece of shit.

Is it wrong to hope a 747 flies into the cafe?

I hate these people, I hate them so much, I actually park miles away from anyone else just because of these people.

I noticed a second chip where someone has opened their door and hit my car.  I always try to park in places where the parks on both side of my car are empty.

Might be time to take it in to get the paint scratches fixed up.

Me: Hi client - here's the print numbers for your job. Please confirm if they're correct and I can put the job to print for you.
Client - Yep, all good.

-------- 6 months later (present)----------

Client: Hi, I noticed that the print quantities on this job you did for me 6 months ago was wrong. Do you have emails confirming what I agreed to?
Me: Hi client, yes, here's an email that I sent confirming final print numbers.
Client: Hi, these numbers are wrong, I initially requested different quantities. I need more, but I want them for free.
Me: Hi client, the print numbers were confirmed by you and where printed.
Client: Hi, sorry, but at the time I was very busy, thought I was confirming different numbers, it was human error. Can you discount further prints please due to a shared misunderstanding?
Me: Hi, here's a new quote for a re-print at a discounted price. Probably should have said something 6 months ago.
Client: It's the suppliers duty (you) to provide the client with what was requested, I appreciate the discount but was expecting more.
Me: (at this stage, don't even know what I'm bothering). Hi, here's the print files, you're welcome to have them printed elsewhere if you're not satisfied with the cost of having the job reprinted.

Waiting on clients hissy fit.

I tell people to fuck off when they send me those "hahaha, look, here's a website showing derpy responses from clients" because it's too fucking real.

Clients who think it is acceptable to negotiate on how long a job should take.

"I think it should take no longer than 3 hours of design time".

1. You're wrong.
2. You're wrong.
3. Rack off.

For most of this year there has been people standing at the entrance to the Adelaide train station during the afternoon peak period when everyone's heading home, trying to collection donations for one charity or the other. Once or twice every now and then I could just fob them off, no worries, but I have to try and walk past them 2 or 3 days a week. I just want to get home, get out the way bitch!

Just tell them "I gave at the office."

Had some pandering at the front door to my place last month, female flatmate had seen them walking up but didn't want to answer the door 'cause she'd feel bad!

I solved it by opening the door "No thanks we're fine, goodbye" and closing the door.

In retrospect I should of said "K Thx Bye!" as well!

I had a guy come to the door once, nice enough guy
He said "Are you aware of whats happening with the deep sea oil exploration"
And I said "I know enough, but lets save us some time, you're going to tell me about it for a while, and then ask me for money, which i'm going to decline to give you, right?"
And he said "uh.. well.. yeah pretty much"
Then we politely said goodbye, and he left.

Much unlike the woman who drove down my driveway, parked in front of my open garage door while I was trying to leave for work, got out of her car and was like
"I know you're busy, but we have been trying to catch up with you for a while, we are in your neighborhood spreading the word! here I have a pamphlet for you"
*rummages through a folder and gives me a pamphlet about jesus*
"Now the stuff in there, thats not just what we say, Its what the bible says, so we have scriptures to back it up!"
.. and looks at me like that's supposed to not only make the pamphlet more legitimate, but also make this situation all ok
I said "right, well bye then" and made an extra effort to throw the pamphlet in the bin.

I once had a greenpeace chugger (charity mugger) come to the door, and they got quite excitable when I told them my view on conservation was that we should concrete the entire planet to become like Coruscant.

Also you should keep a picture of you and your boyfriend shagging on your phone so you can whip it out for churchies and go "I dont think your bible is compatible with my lifestyle"

URGENT ISSUE
this order needs to be set back to this status (1 status ago).
Oh yeah? Yeah. It shows as ready for processing but it hasn't arrived in stock yet.
Oh yeah? Yeah. Because we changed the order after re-purposing the original stock item (to sell to a different order).
Oh so urgent? Yeah. Because it doesn't sit well with me as showing on the wrong screen.
Oh so no impact at all? Yeah, urgent. If we don't get this done we're going to have real problems.
Like the order might catch up to the status on screen by the items actually arriving in stock?
Yes, then we could process it as normal.
NOT FUCKING URGENT AT ALL IS IT YOU FUCKING CUNTS, ps. STOP EMAILING ME DIRECTLY AND LOG A FUCKING TICKET LIKE YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO
