And male bosses aren't a nightmare?

Whatever

Generally speaking, the female bosses I've had over the years have been better as the male bosses.

Thumbnails which, when clicked on, show you a picture that's exactly the same size as the thumbnail! WTF?!?

Ran around for ages getting ready only to be told that the person I'm waiting on will be 40 minutes late. I mean you couldn't have told me that before now?

Passwords. One of the bits of computer software at work makes me change my password every month. The stupidest thing is that it demands a capital letter + number when changing it but not on entering
eg Password2 for changing it but if I log in, I can type password2 and it'll accept.

I need to get out of this part of Belfast. I only went to lift cash and bumped into drunks and a nutter in the space of ten minutes. It's not even 8pm yet ffs.

Took for ever to get home last night due to the derailed train at Paddington - had to go via Waterloo to get to Reading
Train was stuffed and of course as Ascot is on there were a lot of people dressed up to the nines (and slightly pissed) who had real problems getting on

Didn't get home until 23.30

Very happy in the knowledge Im not doing that commute these days. Been stuck in similar situations way too many times.

I used to do that as well, rarely went through Reading without a hitch.
I start commuting to Bank next month, which I'm not too keen on. Otherwise I can be found on a Guildford, Reading or Windsor and Eton train

Some c**t just turned up with 18 oil samples he wants testing for a pet project. Nothing to do with our fluids systems at all.
That's 18 hours worth of test for me to run then. C**t!

Tesco are utterly taking the piss with home delivery now - £7 between 8-9am and even by 5-6pm it's only dropped £2!

Even on their £3 a month scheme I'm obliged to spend over £40 otherwise they add another £4 to the bill. If Asda and Sainsbury's weren't so bloody sh1t over here I'd use them, but then 'welcome to Belfast'...

How do people make day trades on the market? I sold my shares in early May, it took nearly 2 weeks for them to send the sale papers and request the cerificates, and I finally got the proof of identity forms this week.

All (ha ha) my shares certificates are held electronically by my Bank and I can sell via my internet banking

No certificate etc to post off
