In the past 2 hours I've had to listen to his lectures on why "women are fucking awful on buses" and why university is a waste of time.

He also mentioned yesterday that all Japanese people look the same Hmm

Aghhhhh please tell me I am not alone, anyone else have unbearable colleagues???

gaaaaah he sounds like a nightmare!!! Trying to figure out the women on buses thing, what on earth did he have a problem with?

Mabelface · 15/08/2014 11:12

I'd be telling him how offensive I find his diatribe and that he needs to stop now.

Misssss · 15/08/2014 11:14

He sounds like a twat. I too have some irritating colleagues. Do you want to go halves on a bag of these CarryOn? laxative sweets

Patrickstarisabadbellend · 15/08/2014 11:15

Put a kick me sticker on his back.

HumptyWasPushed · 15/08/2014 11:16

Grin at duck tape! Quacking idea!

CarryOn90 · 15/08/2014 11:17

Apparently women mess up the whole bus system because unlike men who stand ready and waiting with their bus fare, we wait for the bus to arrive and then faff around with our purses and hold up the queue.

Hmm

Grahhh this is because men's clothes have functional pockets whereas womens' (women's??? apostrophe fail) are mainly for decoration and so all our stuff has to be carted around in a bloody handbag. Damn the patriarchy

trevortrevorslattery · 15/08/2014 11:20

Oh and YANBU

Squidstirfry · 15/08/2014 11:20

Oh my god please he did not say that.

CarryOn90 · 15/08/2014 11:28

Exactly trevor! Men's clothes are practical but womens are decorative because our main function is too look pretty

I'd be reporting him to HR for being a racist twat for a start.

Men on buses are just as annoying as women.

And, personally, university was a waste of three years of my life when I could have been working.

ApprenticeViper · 15/08/2014 12:05

Tell him to wipe his mouth, as there appears to be a little bit of bullshit on his lip.

HaroldsBishop · 15/08/2014 12:10

I thought the dinosaurs dies out 60 million years ago.

Tell him his arse is leaking a few opinions.

Redhead11 · 15/08/2014 12:14

YANBU - punch him. If only i could punch my inept colleague who is still unable to master the art of listening and understanding. I repeat myself day in and day out...

Droflove · 15/08/2014 14:29

To Japanese people westerners often all look the same.

justmuddlingalong · 15/08/2014 14:45

Over him the use of your phone, to call the 1950's.

Andrewofgg · 15/08/2014 14:59

If you do punch him please post it on YouTube and put a link here.

Hailtherain · 15/08/2014 15:05

I had a boss who on a night out regaled us with tales of him and his mates visiting prostitutes in Thailand. When a colleague complained about being called a cunt by a co worker he refused to do anything about it on the grounds that he was called a cunt because he had made a mistake and so it was legitimate. In this office I also saw a colleague in a wheelchair being tormented by having his lunch grabbed off him and waved above his head just out of arms reach. I was told he 'loved' this. One look at his face made it clear he actually found it degrading and humiliating.

Marmiteandjamislush · 15/08/2014 15:20

You could report him for making inappropriate comments. YANBU

Deftones · 15/08/2014 16:44

I work in an office full of racist ignorant bellends. I've spoken out a few times, but it generally falls on deaf ears. One of the big bosses (as in half owns it) is anti semitic. It's vile.

I now keep my head down and only mention their abhorrent ignorance once in a while. I could happily punch the living shit out of all of them. oh and they see me as a 'lentil weaving lefty' Grin good
