I suppose this is me, sort of. I think I'm firmly in the quiet category for the office. Although there is a couple of other chaps who say even less than ,e. Just my personality. It doesn't help that I'm not a morning person either!Edward Hunter wrote:Plus you always get a mute. Someone who will only talk to someone if it is ABSOLUTLY neccesary.

Re: Cretins that you work with!! Worst but true stories!
There's a driver in our office who rushes about in an effort to finish as early as possible. He's usually the first driver back, always before 1230 but then instead of going home he sits in the office with the DOM complaining about anything and evrything. He is also the office snitch and was actually suspected of being an RM plant when he started.
A few things said 'in confidence' always manage to find their way back to the DOM especially the 'fake' stories told to see how long they would take to get there.

I staged a Roger Moore impersonator festival in my local village. There were a lot of eyebrows raised, I can tell you.

Re: Cretins that you work with!! Worst but true stories!
This story doesn't involve any cretins but has always made me chuckle.
A few years ago one of our posties was knocking on a door to deliver a packet to a dottery old ex Reverend,he could see him through the glass of the door coming to answer before stumbling and taking a nasty fall,he didn't reappear but was able to call out and the postie managed to hold a brief conversation with him through the letterbox,unfortunately old Rev couldn't make it to the door and was breathing somewhat erratically. Postie knocked on the neighbours door to get help and luckily the neighbour had a key and was able to get into the house,they soon had the old duffer sitting upright and an ambulance arrived shortly afterwards and took him away.
That left the postie and neighbour at the door with the latter congratulating RM'S finest on saving the day,it was only then that postie realises the packet was still lying on the doorstep so he picks it up to give to the neighbour but notices it's for two doors down and not for the hospital bound Rev at all..........he still took the plaudits for saving him though!
Ps...Rev made a full recovery!
Or alternatively, The good Rev was in such a physical mess that he was going to collapse that day beit by the kettle or the phone.... all alone. But for the postie delivering in error ensured he got the care he needed. Maybe the Lord moves in mysterious ways..... And maybe not.

Re: Cretins that you work with!! Worst but true stories!
These cretins are about..Had a guy in my last delivery office who was a part-timer his duty was allocated to start at 7.00am. He used to come in at 5:45 and start prepping every day. Said he felt he needed to help the company out as the round was quite big.. An hour and a quarter he gave every day for free..When pulled up about it by the union, said he was free to do what he felt was best for himself and RM plus his wife liked him out of the house early?????
