I hate

Are they thinking

no

Play-doh

Part of me thinks is a cultural thing for some while others are just odd.

I usually step to the side go get some space and think they will get the hint. But they don't.

Or whilst at the check-out step to the side and ask if they want to pay

And if you turnaround and walk through them, is that considered rude?

I did that (smile)

Assume they're trying to pick your pocket.

Why? Mine is just a thumb print?

The BBC in general, but why is this not 'Lael Wilcox becomes fasters woman to cycle globe'

If someone isn't a household name it seems pretty normal to not include it in the headline.

It also makes it more click baity so they drive traffic to the page with, "Which American?" clickers.

Fastforward 10yrs and the bbc headline for this will be more like:

She set out home on her bike, you won't believe what happened next...

Uggh yes you're right.

Let's add them to the hate bucket. Also want to throw in anything that uses the word 'viral', that's not an infection, and anything that says 'wait till the end'. No.

Drop them and make the meeting 10 minutes shorter.

I have a global HR call coming up and have been asked "if you were presenting at a conference, what song would you want to walk out to/be your intro song?"

I hate this shit.

We have these in one of our huddles, but they've now totally taken over. So it will just be a full 25m of the team picking super powers.

Weirdly, fully committing and devoting a full slot works much better than having them sprinkled in or having to come up with 'energising news'. We're split across multiple countries/locations and often don't work together so it's turned out to be a good way to bond and I'm now spending less time before coming up with a response that profiles me.

Generally though I agree.

Seven Nation Army, most importantly because it's energising so it would help to engage me and my audience. But also because it's about standing up against adversity and opposition which is something I am passionate about and have demonstrated through my work on [x] and in my volunteering with [y].

I was in a meeting about a takeover a few years ago as the staff rep. The start of the meeting involved discussing what type of biscuit the company would be. I made my feelings very plain by saying it would be an own brand rich tea, because that was all we would be able to afford once we’d wasted countless £0000 on staff consultations and rebranding to ultimately do whatever it was they were going to do in the first place. 6 months of the same meeting over and over to end up right where we started, but with a blue logo instead of a red one. Oh and 34% of the staff gone.

Fair play. I assume by staff rep you mean the person updating those soon to be unemployed on progress and collating questions that would be largely ignored or avoided by SLT?

That’s the job, or as I called it Patsy.

Easy.
