Don't you know any smokers?
Gobsmacked.

He is the smoker so probably can’t tell that he still smells of smoke.

Another big one is putting people in charge who are barely out of University. How on earth can you be the a decent senior manager over design and manufacturing engineering when you've got 2-3 years of post-degree experience?! It is always amusing when a 25 year old is trying to tell a design engineer of 40 years how long a project will take.
Problems often are caused by 'high potential' people who only have to tread water in a role for 3 months before moving sideways/upwards.
By all means let people with talent rise upwards, but jumping up so quickly means they rarely have any idea what is going on.

I won a visit to HR when I worked at Ericsson for introducing myself to new graduate scheme bods as “Terminal_Boy, pleases to meet you. Tea, white, one sugar please.”

To be fair, I prefer fast trackees to newly arrived senior managers filling the gaps in their new org with mates from their previous employer which is usually going out of business. Having worked with their new mates for a few weeks, it’s usually easy to why they were going bust.

It's funny to me that innocebt acts

Yep, goes back to my best friend who is 35 and still on minimum wage then wonders why people such as my younger brother who is 23 is earning double than him. And all my brother does is sits in a office or at home, shutting down illegal steams. While my friend slaves away in a manual labour factory job.

On a side note, looking back through this thread its nice to moan about these things. They are all 1st world problems. I suppose we are all privileged!?!?!

No one has posted anything worrying such as "not knowing then their next pay check will be to put food on the table." We don't have it so bad after all.

Problems are problems and all of equal value

People who don't try to understand things they use.

Like cars, most people just know how to drive them but don't understand how they actually work and thus don't look after them mechanically.

People that moan about the most inane stuff is what I find annoying, like a thread about vaping.

Who gives a flying **** if someone is vaping?? Honestly there are more important things to worry about than seeing a person vaping lol

or people who don't sit in their allocated seat.

Realising I just solved an outstanding Nash problem, but dont have the time or money to buy the time to write the ******* up.

circles. The geometric kind. They remind me of an idiot who insisted 1 + 1 must always = 2. It took me another 2 years to discover Russell's logic text, which dismissed the teachers myth.

Re. Acronyms (from upthread), im about to add to the public store of those with a structure of them. My apologies in advance! In my defence, its a timesaver.

Are you real?

Chinchilla, as Australian as you are.

As you may know, Nash had some problems with non-zero sum games - in general with concurrency - I'd say even viewers of his movie biopic could see that - it was the trope of his life. He missed one variable. That makes all the difference.

Do people have enough time to understand everything they use? It sounds like you used an example that you know well, I'd be surprised if you can say the same for most things you use on a daily basis.

Bluku! Bluku!

Yeah exactly. I i my TV most days, but if it broke i wouldn't have a bloomin' clue how to fix it!
