So, I am sitting here waiting for someone to turn up for an appointment.
They need something from me for their client. They are 42 minutes late. How rude is that? What's the rudest most ignorant thing you have done/had done to you in the workplace?
Alt: Too early for lunch thread?
Alt alt: My mate has a car for sale that I am thinking about buying. Is this a bad idea?

Alt alt: that's like employing friends - never a good idea.
Alt: yes
Main Q: That's frightfully rude. Have they not even called? A customer once called me a 'cunt'. Inexcusably rude, but correct.

Be blamed for causing problems that I had nothing to do with
when also working late and coming into work early to resolve another issue so no systems were down between 5pm and 9am - for free
Fucking cunts

Nope

We have a similar thing here.
If you're early nothing is said. If you're late you get "Afternoon, shit the bed?".

In my previous job I was hauled up in front of my manager
for not acknowledging the personnel manager when she clocked me coming in 15 mins late. She wanted to know WHY I was late. There was no reason, I was just a bit late. She wasn't there the previous night when I finished a couple of hours past my finish time.
My manager had me make up a story about a broken alarm clock to accompany my apology to her, just to appease her need to know WHY?

I just had to take a dump half way through a telephone interview =/
I was 50/50 of just going without saying anything, but I reckon they'd be able to hear the echo, so I asked them to call back in 5 minutes half way through. I'm not sure if this is the worst career based thing I've done in my life.

Had just under £20k worth mantainance stuff in the line-up over the next 3 years.
She claimed she didn't know anything about it, but c'mon, that's hardly chump change, as she "is really close friends with 3 of the flats in the same building, always coming over for coffee and a drink", would have thought someone would mention some of it. OR, at least, the letter addressed to her would have been read.

The fact that I was the third buyer to pull out in the last year also leads me to believe that they knew about it.
They gave away a shitload of stuff and quit their jobs, but that was all before the exchange of contracts and even before we had the mortgage... they're idiots.

Never borrow significant amounts of money or buy cars off friends.
Surefire way to end the friendship.
Never buy an "x" off a professional "x"er. Mechanics don't maintain their cars, IT guys don't maintain their computers. Nobody likes coming home from work and having to do more fucking work, only for free this time.

in the workplace? when i was barmaiding, i had the most horrific party of about 40 pre-menopausal women in the back room. i ran around getting their entire drinks order together, took it in on one tray after another, and as i took in the last tray, one of them clicked her fingers and said: OI, BARGIRL. SAME AGAIN, EH? and they didn't even tip me. rancid cunts.
out of the workplace? how long have you got (about 2 inches, knowing you, stunned).
