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?
(, Thu 3 May 2012, 11:44, 125 replies, latest was 12 years ago)
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.

No call or jackshit.

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?

Never borrow significant amounts of money or buy cars off friends.

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.
