*Warning, this thread contains unfair stereotyping* - if you work in one of these professions, it doesn’t mean I’m calling you a cnut, it just means you probably are one.
Here goes;
Press/media – An infestation of self serving, out of touch idiots who think they’re opinion and relevance is way above what it actually is. Recently exampled by now famed sexist twats Andy Gray and Richard Keys…exposed and turned on by their own kind mercilessly, in some kind of pathetic pyramid scrambling exercise. Pour out drab, lazily thought out and biased opinion as fact, often under the guise of "news", and when that doesn’t work, just lie about things or behave obnoxiously to people in the hope of taunting a reaction. Like to criticise people who are more useful than them and champion people who aren't actually useful at anything.
Union reps (Not technically a profession, but still worthy of mention) – Champion the rights of employees and are first to complain whenever senior or middle management do anything (examples of anything include their job, speaking to people and walking down the corridor). Unfortunately, ruin any likability or moral correctness gained through this, by invariably being fat, lazy cnuts who are shit at their job. Will also combine relentless complaining with childish temper tantrums, rudeness to others, and bitching about fellow employees behind their back. Will often become abusive and obnoxious to anyone who dares disagree with them on any issue. Usually look like they haven’t bathed or showered since the dawn of time. Often borderline racists.
Taxi drivers – King bullshitters. Will bullshit freely on any given subject. All seem to have been everywhere, seen and done everything…despite spending all day every day driving a sodding taxi around. Expert intelligence insulters, combining know-it-all-ism with often incorrect presumption that you don’t know when they’re pissing you around by taking needlessly long side routes to your destination. All seem to have divorced wives/husbands, who they wont stop fecking banging on about. Undecipherable transmissions from main office which probably relate to them ripping you off in some way.
Solicitors – Self important time wasters. Leave vitally important things until the very last minute, in a bizarre deliberate ploy to stress out their own clients. Then blame everyone else for allowing this mess to occur and get arsey with anyone who doesn’t treat them with upmost importance. Think they know more about your job than you do…with it often becoming transparent during course of subsequent conversation, that they don’t even know fuck all about their own job. Demand everything in writing, even if relating to common sense issue, or something which is already clearly stated in written, public legislation anyway. Put “urgent” marker on every email they send and then never bother to say thank you after receiving a reply.
Agencies (Job/letting…pretty much any variety) – A cancer upon the earth that should be wiped from the face of it with no remorse or mercy. All talk at an unnecessarily fast pace in order to give the impression that they’re really busy and in a hurry all day, and because half of what they say is barefaced untruth that needs to be concealed by a constant barrage of nonsense. Tricks include wasting your time by feigning non existent interest from their clients, building up a database of clients/customers and then fucking off to another company with it, and disappearing off the face of the earth after promising to “sort” something for you. Seem to comprise half the population of London and don’t understand how to use hair gel sparingly.
Any more?
