To think anyone who says they 'work hard but play harder' is a bit of a twat?

[MyGhastIsFlabbered]

Just watching Dinner Date and someone has just said it. It's just such a twattish thing to say. AIBU?

YANBU. Same as 'party hard'.

Definitely wanky.

YANBU. Go big or go home.

YANBU.
I currently work for a company that describes itself that way. Vom.

Yanbu

Makes me think of a young guy working in sales who likes to get pissed up every night with the "lads"

Or ‘team player’.

You don't have to be mad to work here...

Oh yes, team player. It’s a toxic term, used to coerce people into shit they aren’t supposed to do.
Even better if it’s rated in appraisals and tied to bonuses!

Agreed.

I hate team players. I wish everyone would just stay on their own.

File under ‘Go big or go home’ and ‘make my own luck’ - bullshit ego wank from estate agents / salesmen and reality tv stars.

Great if someone does in fact work hard and play hard, but the turn of phrase does seem to be the domain of complete wankers.

YANBU

Same people that “tell it like it is” IMO

He is a complete wanker. Now and going forward.

How do you even 'play hard' anyway?

You sky dive, naturally.

Sounds like the sort of person who gives 110%...

Up there with 'I'm crazy me'. Usually said by someone who really isn't!

I should probably confess I have dived from the sky...it was bloody amazing BUT I'd never say I played hard...I prefer playing with as little effort as possible!

Was it David Brent? 😂

“I don’t suffer fools”

In my experience this tends to be announced proudly by selfish, self-centred people who have little empathy or kindness towards others. It’s my personal pet-hate of of phrase that tells a lot about the person saying it.

Reminds me of someone who said with a straight face that their team worked hard so played hard.

A shitty little office with people not starting before 8am and closed by 6pm Played hard indeed!

Mind you, the manager used to stroll in with sunglasses and a coffee - fine, I do it too - but telling everyone that it made her look successful and like a New Yorker
In a small English commuter town of course.
