Possibly the most boring man in BritainTechnically I'm this guy's boss, but I'm 22 and he's 50 so I just can't bring myself to tell him to "shut the fuck up you boring twat!"
I work in a small convenience store and this bloke is an incredibly slow server (has a permenant queue of customers unless someone helps serve on the second till) but it is compounded by the fact he has to talk to every male customer, and many of the female ones, about football.
Now I like football but he says the same thing over and over and over again to each customer in the queue. A queue he creates by saying the same thing over and over again.
The first time he says, "I can't believe that ref," is fine, even when he says it a few times, but he says it without fail to every person who has ever shown some interest in football.
When you're stood next to him serving as fast as you can to try and clear the queue and he's just ambling along having the same conversation withe every customer I just want to turn to him and scream, "shut up and get on with it! Are you not bored of saying the same thing over and over!?"
I should have posted the other week when the QOTW was "Worst Person For The Job". There are so many things that make him completely inept for working in a customer facing environment, this is only one small thing, but by God it annoys me
