What is it......

[spence]

What is it with this time of year ?

Why does everybody think the world is going to end at christmas ?

All we seem to get from customers at work is "I don't care so long as it's done by Christmas". We've never been so rushed off our feet or worked so flat out.

Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining at the amount of work, far from it, but i bet when we go back after the break it's gonna go quite. Happens every year.

Anybody else get the same thing ?

Should be grateful we're busy really but I'm knackered after a cr*p week and wanted a moan.

Can you do me a favour and finish this thread before christmas please.

Any chance you could polish my bell boxes before Boxing day mate?

Spence, I agree. Tends not to be just at Christmas that things must be done but all "customers" want everything done and dusted by yesterday! Its about time people learned to f**king accept next week, next month or next year. If they don't like it they f**k off and take their business somewhere else, preferably Outer Mongolia.

I am pleased to say that I retired after working for a major bank for 28 years and I do not miss it at all.

End of moan!

I just sit, smile politely and say "We'll be there when we get there"

A typical rush hour conversation between a passenger and a bus driver............

"Why are you late, I've been waiting half an hour, it's supposed to be a 10 minute service"

"I'm not late, but I'm sorry you've been kept waiting"

"NO, YOU ARE LATE!!!!!!!!"

"Er no I'm not, I'm supposed to be here at 10:40 and it's 10:39, I'm a minute early"

"What happened to the 10:30 then smartarse?"

"I don't know, I'm not driving it, do you want to get on or can I drive away now?"

"I wanted to get on the 10:30"

"That ship has sailed so to speak"

"I need to be in the town centre by 110"

"I won't be there till 11:10"

"WHY"

"Because I'm the 10:40 away from here not the 10:30, besides, I now won't be in the town centre till 11:12"

"WHY?"

"Because I've been talking to you for the last two minutes"

"You c**ts are all the same"

"Indeed, do you or do you not want to travell on this bus?"

"SINGLE TO TOWN (mutters "a*****e" under breath)

"£1.50 please"

"bl**** rip off" (Customer drops a £20 on the cash tray)

"Do you have anything smaller?"

"NO WHY?"

"I don't have any notes"

"WHAT!!!!!!"

"I don't have any notes"

"WELL I DON'T WANT MY CHANGE IN COINS"

"Well. you have a choice, you can get off and wait for the next bus and hope the driver has change for a twenty or travell on this bus and have the change in 50 and 20 pence pieces"

"I'M IN A bl**** HURRY I'LL TAKE THIS BUS"

"Here is your ticket.................................. and change" (queue the sound of £18:50 in 50 and 20 pence pieces hitting the cash tray)

"WE BETTER BE IN TOWN AT 11:12"

"Er no, It'll be 11:20 now"

"WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Because you paid with a £20 and it took time to count the change"

"YOU CAN'T F**KING WIN CAN YOU?"

"Oh yes you can, I win every time" (Smiles sweetly) "Sir"

I really love my job!!!!!!!!!!!

Chaz.

My firm is run by French and Germans and we have our financial end of year in December, so we have to get all our timesheets in and approved by the end of next week.  This means that i have to guess what I will be doing for the week before Christmas, and whatever I guess will not be right.
