People who but into a matter halfway through, decide to do things their way, blow the budget, fvck all the docs up and then bugger off three quarter of the way in.
People who start asking you a question about some matter they've been working on for ages without bothering to explain the background assuming you know as much as they do. I now automatically ask a colleague to start from the beginning as soon as he tries to ask me a question.
People who ask you specific questions, don't want to give you any further context, then take your advice totally out of context, totally fook everything up and try to blame you. These people are why email filing exists and why you always back up conversations with a CYA summary email containing the "these are the things we haven't discussed and here are some further considerations" stuff.
Pompous twots thinking their vocation is some kind of status symbol when it is glorified paper shuffling that could be done by a monkey and a properly programmed computer. I guess that's the downside of working in a law firm.
^^This (almost) people who leave plates & mugs on the counter top ABOVE the feckin dishwasher.
Too important or posh to open the fecking dishwasher? Then you're lucky that I'm not too important or posh to put your personal mug with pictures of your cat / football team badge on it in the feckin bin.
It's always the olds that are the main culprits of this too.
Bollox, it's us olds who have it permanently on silent (both, work & personal) so we can blissfully ignore it. You young 'uns need to remember that the phone is there for your convenience too not just the callers.
