I was on a train when a loud, boorish, overbearing, fat, middle-aged man (no, it wasn’t Prince Andrew because he was sweating!) got on

LOL!

And it is, indeed, the small victories. Laughing at the nasty people who have pee'd us off is remarkably satisfying.

Unfortunately for him, I happened to be being followed by DH's rugby team on their minibus.
Seeing his behaviour, the whole team hopped out of the bus and sat on various bits of his car so that he couldn't move

This has made my day- brilliant! 😃

Soubriquet · 03/07/2020 12:14

Not me, but this story made me laugh

Person A was randomly contacted by person B and was given a lot of shit. Was talking about how ugly she was etc etc

Person A spotted that person B worked in a salon.

So person A booked an appointment, made sure it was person B doing it.

Now person B has to bleach and wax persons A asshole

He probably wasn’t, I used to deal with such calls among other complaints for a large telecoms company and we would just send a standard letter or apologetic phone call back in response to these.

Yeah, similar here. Told the complainer whatever was needed to shut them up. Conversation with employee would often go something along the lines of "haha some knobhead rang up to complain about your driving you naughty boy. Hand in your keys right now hahahaha you still coming to the pub after work?" (Not said by me I might add!)

@Monty27 Haha not so stupid after all am I? In fact it appears to be you that is the stupid one.

I am in fact capable of reading two fairly short consecutive posts by the same person and putting them together, and didn't imagine for a second anyone else wasn't.

@Doggodogington

When I was younger I worked in MacDonalds and came across loads of rude impatient customers. I was quite shy and not the type to speak up for myself so I’d made me feel better to leave out part of their order. A missing chips here or a nugget short there. Obviously worked better when they were taking their food away to eat. Used to make me feel content thinking about them going to dip their chip in a non existent pot of bbq sauce.
That's a shit thing to do because it comes back on the people you work with.

Last year I tried buying an expensive item from a website. Short story is the website was a fake and I got scammed. There was an individual behind the email address though who would draw you in at the outset. Fortunately I did get my money back from my bank doing a charge back. I then took the company's contact email address and signed it up to lots of sites that I knew spammed you with incessant marketing emails.

@Swiftier

This isn’t one where someone has been personally nasty to me but anyway.

I live next to one of the big Royal Parks in London which has been really busy the last few weeks and we’ve had lots of antisocial behaviour. I was chatting to a neighbour outside as I was about to walk my dog one evening. A car of three young women pulled up and they got out of the car and proceeded to go behind our garages and use them as a loo. I get that there’s limited loos around, but the loos in the park are actually open now. Besides - they just arrived so surely should have gone before they left to travel here. They left used tissues and everything, really gross.

I went on my dog walk and when my dog did a poo, I picked it up in the bag and had an idea. Dropped the poo back out of the bag and onto their car windscreen. It was a bit of a soft poo so not sure how they’d clean it off Wink

I remember a post on here, from years ago (back when it were all fields round here Wink) -

A MNer was in the park, sitting at an outside table at the cafe, when another lady let her dog do a massive poo, and didn't pick it up - and was rude to the MNer, when she told her she needed to pick it up.

The lady left the dog tied up, and her coat on the back of the chair, whilst she went into the cafe to get a drink - so the MNer used a bit of cardboard to pick up the poo, and put it in the hood of the lady's coat!!

Hoppinggreen · 03/07/2020 12:20

As for the kitchen , it was the person who came out to inspect the issues that was a sexist and slightly creepy arsehole and his sacking wasn’t based on just 1 incident

Turkey your post has reminded me of something. A few years ago I did a coffee morning for a well-known charity. I had sorted all the money; notes and coins separate - the latter bagged up in proper bags with the proper amounts. I realised I'd not written the date on the paying in slip so stopped (for around 20 seconds) to fix, and someone pushed in front of me. As they decanted their money out, the bag broke and their coins went all over the floor.
I did help pick them up but I did laugh.

I had someone steal a parking space in our work car park once. I was waiting with my indicator on for someone to move and this bloke swooped in from the other side. I told him I'd been waiting, but I got told "you snooze you lose" apparently.

Fine, I drove round a few times, found another space. The guy was actually there for an interview! His face when I collected him from reception! He was terrified. I actually had no say in whether he got the job or not, I was just sitting on the panel to get some recruitment experience for a new role I'd just been given! He looked so uncomfortable through the whole interview.

He didn't get the job, but not due to the parking thing 😂 I didn't tell the others on the panel until they'd made their decision already.

surely that's far more humiliating for person A who bizarrely wants her arsehole bleached rather than person b just doing their job?

Anotherlovelybitofsquirrel · 03/07/2020 12:47

I do feel uncomfortable with the rush to go to people employers and glee at getting them in trouble or fired for disputes particularly on the internet

Why? If someone wishes to bully someone else and wish them to die of cancer etc etc and they're also stupid enough to allow their victim to see their employment details then that's their look out.

You might be happy to be treated like shit by maybe an online troll or bully but that doesn't mean others are or have to be.

My Dad runs a business and has several men who work for him and he would always want to know if one of them had behaved badly whilst driving a van with his company name on it.

He’s never sacked any of them because they’ve not done anything as awful as some of the stories on here, but if one of them told a woman he hoped that she crashed and died then he totally would.

No, cos person B has to be very polite in her working environment

@hashtagbollocks

Unless @Soubriquet means that Person A took their donkey or mule in to have its ring-piece bleached. Your were probably right to change the spelling to arse hole but what if they actually meant ass hole?

Personally I am not sure why people, or even donkeys, need this typoe of procedure.

MimiLaRue · 03/07/2020 12:56

Another neighbour one!
We had a horrid neighbour a while back- a vicious old hag who would gossip about everyone in the street, spread unkind rumours, nit pick at us about non existent things. Anyway, one day we asked her if it was ok for us to extend the fence between our boundaries. It was a 5ft fence and for privacy reasons we wanted to make it 6ft (which is perfectly legal). She went ballistic, swore at us, came round with her property deeds shouting in our faces that the fence was HER PROPERTY, HER RESPONSIBILITY, she owned it and we couldn't legally touch it.
Fair enough.

Literally the very next night there were tremendous gales. Her fence blew right down- every last bit of it.
When I saw her in the garden next I told her what a shame the fence was her property and HER responsibility because if it had been shared I would have gone halves with her on the cost of a new one.

The look on her face would have curdled milk hahahaha!

hashtagbollocks · 03/07/2020 12:57

jackdaw you're right, a donkey looks so much better with a shiny white arsehole

hashtagbollocks · 03/07/2020 12:58

but person b isn't the one on all fours spreading their arse cheeks apart for a stranger! I know which one I'd rather be

Some people and donkeys might want that part of their anatomy to resemble a polo mint.

It's actually quite difficult to sack someone, you can't just take a phone call from a random person then say "Right that's it John, you cut someone up so get your things, you're sacked."

There is a whole process of written and verbal warnings first, plus an appeals process and it costs the company a lot of money. I suspect it's easier just to tell the complainer "Yes Mrs Jones we will definitely sack him". I mean, how does anyone know they actually go through with it? On the orders of some disgruntled member of the public - why would they?

Pelleas · 03/07/2020 13:37

I suspect it's easier just to tell the complainer "Yes Mrs Jones we will definitely sack him".

It would be a data breach to reveal the details of someone's disciplinary to a member of the public, unless it had moved into the public domain, i.e. at a tribunal.

My neighbour is a bastard. Petty but yesterday he was doing something in his front garden and I was settling DS at the time so just walking around past the window as DS likes to look out the window when being settled and neighbour was focused on something and his gate was open and this friendly dog popped in to say hello to him (owner was a few paces behind. It was on a long lead) and snuck up in neighbour and scared the life out of him. Haven't laughed that hard in ages. He shot up like a deer in headlights. After the dog and owner walked away he put his finger up behind the dog owners back. Typical.
