My other half ignores quite a lot of advice I try to give her. The current one that's happening is her refusing to put the microwave setting to full, even though I told her it doesn't lower the heat, it just causes it to stop and start microwaving, so takes longer.

Most of the time it isn't worth bringing up that sort of thing. The most recent thing that made me talk back.. she asked me for help with the computer, then questioned my ability.. I work in IT.. I know what I'm doing. Of course that didn't go down well  Next time I'll shout ALT + F4 (good old college days) |

I work with somebody that has moderately severe ADHD. Not the worst I’ve experienced, but very noticeable. There’s a lot I have to manage and consider working with this guy, but one thing that annoys the hell out of me is the fact he just doesn’t shut up. He talks and talks and talks. When one word will do he gives about 15 sentences. Folk literally back away from him mid-discussion to escape the situation. He’s a social vampire and his banter comes at the expense of doing any work (which is currently being overlooked by my boss as he has an ADHD diagnosis).
Frustrating enough already, today he tells me he is severely introverted. I try to explain, as an introvert, what that actually is and he comes back with all kinds of excuses. He even tries to claim he has been diagnosed an introvert, like it’s a kind of medical condition. Having generally been worn down by this guy for the last two years, I explain it has nothing to do with being shy, or socially awkward, or even socially under-developed and now my boss isn’t too happy with my choice of phrasing.
At least now he has stopped talking to me. Hopefully forever.

Literally a Colin Robinson, but on cocaine. I am one of the most patient people I know, but he makes me angry. Actively looking for new work to escape him. I do not like the person I am becoming around him. I’m just too exhausted.

I've got one of these fuckers, and I can't seem to escape him. I don't even work with him.
Prior to lockdown I worked part time in a comic shop. Plenty of cool customers down for a chat, but a few punishers who can suck your soul out and ruin your day. Can't remember his name, but one lad in particular would just bore on forever about his latest obsession, and it was always something I thought was shit. There would be no changing the subject.
Early days of Covid, he started working at Asda. I got nabbed by him at the tills loads of times, when he spied my X-Men t-shirt or Star Wars wallet, or my kids Nintendo t-shirts. I just want to pay and leave, and I've got two hungry kids getting antsy while he witters on. Ended up picking a longer queue rather than having to deal with him.
Lockdown over, I started walking round to my mates house for beers, as he'd moved fairly local to me. Popped into the Morrisons corner store near his house, and there's THAT guy behind the till. Fuuuuuuuck. Chewed my ear off yet again, so I started picking my beers up from the Co-op, which was out of my way but anything for peace.
Fast forward to a month ago. Nip round to my local One Stop, about 100 yards from my house. Who's behind he counter? 😱
I can't not go there because it's close, and it's also my nearest post offic, so I'm stuck. Every time I go in, he tells me about whatever shit he's been watching. Even if other people are waiting behind me. It's awkward as fuck.
Fully expecting to find him in my garden office one of these days.

There’s definitely something more to my colleague than ADHD and I’ve tried my best with them, but 5 days a week for 2 years with such disruptive behaviour has worn me out. They’re not even good at their job. They do not even try. If they’re called out for it, that person is a bad guy. My boss has actively given others a greater workload to compensate, which leads to others resenting them. I honestly thought I was a better person when I started, but for the first time in my life I’ve been ground down to a whinging asshole.
I told my boss I’m actively looking to leave shortly after my outburst on here earier. I already have my own mental health struggles. I have definitely put more effort into this guy than I have myself and it’s now it has become a me problem.

When they put out a road closure sign/ diverted sign, which you follow… but the diverted sign never appears again. Where do you want me to go?!

Yup, many a time I've had to retrace my steps, sure I'd missed a sign, but no, they just want you away from the area, regardless of where you wanted to get to.

Trains. I've been stuck at Kings Cross for 3 hours. I was only getting the train today to avoid engineering works tomorrow.
Fucking Britain .

Oooof. It's so stressful travelling these days. The ferries here are increasingly unreliable - getting anywhere on time is a lottery. Especially worrying for hospital appointments or flights etc.

Especially worrying for hospital appointments or flights etc. Ha yeah. Knowing the mess everything is in I booked a day off work and a hotel to get to something in the North East at midday tomorrow. Instead of thinking I could rely on a 3 hour 9am train. |

Oof. Ordered some cycling shizz from ornot in America. Price was ok. Relative to other things.
It got to customs and i have just had to pay another £60 in import fees and handling charges on top of the £27 delivery i had already paid. 😱
Won't be doing that again!
It had better fit and be great after all this expense.

Don't ever be that one guy who shovels 30 quid of pound coins into the jukebox 5 minutes after the pub opens so nobody else can put anything on for hours.

Discogs used to be a great platform for buying and selling music. Nowadays, it sucks donkey balls - the site is often slow as hell (when it loads at all), basic features (e.g. the ability to delete sent messages) will go AWOL for no reason whatsoever, and customer service (if it may be so termed) is laughably bad.

Delivery between 8am - 4pm. Guess what time it arrived. It didn't. Now I've got to wait all over again for the replacement  |

I have a colleague that now works in my department after he was essentially foisted upon me from another that had got sick of him last year. After months of working on him he's actually pretty good now, but fuck me he has to be the clumsiest motherfucker I've ever met. He's actually incapable of walking in a straight line without colliding with at least a wall a door or a table. It's kind of impressive.

For Halloween last year Mrs Simple’s sister threw a vampire themed party and I went as Colin Robinson and if anyone didn’t get it and asked what the deal was I had the perfect opportunity to meta-game it and give them an overly long Colin Robinson-esque answer. |

He's actually incapable of walking in a straight line without colliding with at least a wall a door or a table. It's kind of impressive. That kind of clumsiness is a genuine symptom of ADHD. Clumsiness has always been an anger trigger for me (towards myself and others) as I was pretty much berated every time I was clumsy as a kid by my mother (we're now estranged; she had plenty of other lovely toxic traits) so I'm trying to be extra vigilant these days...tough though, clumsiness is fucking annoying 😂 |

Sounds like Dyspraxia. I worked with somebody behind a bar like that. Would somehow bump their their head under the bar, walk into door frames, shut their hand in the glass wash, etc…
Thank god they never cut themselves, but I always wondered how they were the most enthusiastic and positive energy behind a bar when they kept hurting themselves every 30 minutes or so.

Aye, was going to say could be dyspraxia too. Worked with someone just like that.
Top lad apart from being clumsy as fuck.

text at 7am this morning saying "out for delivery today, between 08:00 & 18:00". at 18:30 the tracking page updates to:
and no link to reschedule - so are they still delivering? are they going to try tomorrow (when I'm 200 miles away)? is my delivery scattered across the M5 along with bits of delivery driver?
