From the Archive - Glastonbury: three DiSsers, some booze and hella mud...
What?
errrr why should they?
Because it's really annoying
Presumably they're reaching down to pull the plug out - how much more effort is it to switch it off while they're down there?
And this isn't an isolated case, as it's happened in the last three offices I've worked in
Somebody needs to make a stand
switch what off?
Are they leaving hoovers and stuff lying about plugged in?
Just the plug switch
Y'know, so it's like, off
so they're using the plug
for their hoovers or whatever and then they don't turn the switch off afterwards?
Big wow
Pretty much
Because all the electricity leaks out
and I have to wade through an invisible fug of live electricity and I get static on my ankles.
It's possible your science teacher at school faked their qualifications.
"you're not a science teacher are you?"
"no...im a baker!"
It's sentiments like that
who made our cleaner have a stroke the other night
Maybe he stuck his finger in a socket
he hadn't turned off whilst he was sleeping?
Sentiments are individuals too!!!
I've got some weird
thing where i have to turn off any plug socket that isn't in use.
It's quite annoying actually!
^ this
At home, or even in my friends' homes, I do this. I even did it at work for a while. But I'm still relatively new at this place, and it's an open plan office, so I have to resist the urge to bend down switching them off to avoid looking like the new mental kid
Me too
I think the entire world will run out of energy if i dont make sure that nothing is on standby.
yeah same here.
OCD much.
Cleaning staff
should be sensitive to OCD in higher-ranking employess. What the hell are they doing to earn their £2.90 an hour? Slackers.
Precisely.
once, i walked out of my room naked, right into the cleaner
hi maureen!
'the cleaner' i meant our cleaner, or is that even worse?
anyway i love her
Given the size of that house I saw in your Facebook page
I'm surprised you didn't need two cleaners.
ha
that isnt even half the rooms!
*boasts*
sorry, i just fudgkin love that house, so different from the cave i lived in, in london.
I didn't know there were any caves in London
...
you never visited my flat
I don't want to sound like I'm accusing you of this,
but I do find it interesting/funny how cleaning staff are treated as second class citizens in any workplace. They're treated like servants. But dirty servants. It's very odd.
true
I like the cleaning staff here
They don't know anything about the pharmaceutical industry either!
Well, no
It is the cleaners who are doing this, as they're in every evening and nobody else ever has any need to use the plug sockets. If I switch one off, it'll be back on the next day. hmmm...
In related news, the other day as I left work (slightly later than usual), I noticed a cleaner from the building next door outside hoovering the pavement. Tough gig
You fucking retard
it is you with the problem.
I hope a cleaner kills you.
PLUGS LEFT ON WASTE ENERGY
I HP[E YOU NEVER SEE A TREE AGAIN!
NO THEY DON'T
BRITAIN IS ONE OF THE ONLY PLACES IN THE WORLD THAT BOTHERS TO PUT SWITCHES ON PLUGS!
empty plugs don't
but pluged plugs do
Life would be so much better if we didn't
i agree
someone could kill themselves. THEN THEY'D FEEL GUILTY, WOULDN@T THEY
^ this is a general point
all of you, never leave a plug socket switched on with nothing in it! switches were added to plug sockets for a reason, well, several reasons probably, but one of those was SAFETY. BE SAFE, KIDS.
i saw the cleaner from my work
stealing plastic flowesr on sunday. "nice work" i told her
stop being a mentalist
Yes
Yes to this. Any plug socket that is left in the on position when there is nothing plugged in is an affront to the Lord, as well as pissing me right off
cleaners are all uneducated cunts from council estates
who're so poor they get pregnant just for the free milk.
or theyre a polish layabout with strange attitudes towards life that i just cant abide by. if im late its my problem, or the boss's - why do all the polish cunts have to chime in with their own little bollocks 'oh you should call if youre going to be late' - i was 5fucking mins late!
ours are Spanish/Portugese
bang goes your theory
i had some spics
at my old school too. they also were lazy and unreliable. always wandering around looking at litter and stains muttering 'eh, manana'
nice
It's the cutting edge of wind-up satire!
Ow ow ow. It hurts. SHIT I LOST AN ARM!!!
dove_from_above: please don't blame the cleaners for your psychological failings.
There is nothing wrong with plugs being turned on.
Next you'll be saying you can freeze bread!
Everyone knows that's impossible.
it certainly is in hell
where we are, of course, from
HELL YEAH, BIATCH!
Have you seen that guy running around in green armour with a big white gun? He's getting right on my non-tits.
Sounds like you want a fight
Is that what you want? Do you want to fight me, Theo?
No. Anyway, I now know your Kryptonite.
I'll just by a bunch of plug fronts from a hardware store and leave them lying around with the switch ON!
I can run off while you scrabble about setting things to rights. BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!
Curses!
Besides, I'd be pathetic in a fight. It's probably for the best
