They only do it because it gives them something else to whine about.
I don't really give a shit what other people eat and expect the same courtesy in return.

Therefore if a vegan invited me to a picnic I'd be alright with it but bring shit I wanted to eat. If they invited me to a specifically vegan picnic they'd be told to get to fuck.

I've just got back from work to find an email
inviting everyone on my site to attend "a briefing concerning important information about your site" at 3pm. It encourages anyone working from home to come in for this purpose.

Our site is half empty and, as you may be aware, in Norwich which is the middle of fucking nowhere.

Also there are sound tech type people fitting speakers and video cameras all over the shop in the manner of a Reaping from a district of Panem.

It may not surprise you to know that everyone around me, to coin a bewilderingly popular phrase, is losing their shit.

What's most amusing is that everyone is going spastic because we got like 2 hours' notice, and rumours have been circulating about this site since before I went off with headwrong.
