Work wankers

I just work with a complete tosser that no-one likes who talks and fucking talks and you just can't get away from him. Absolute bellend and is the most boring person in the entire world.

 

A few things I do I have to really concentrate but this wanker will just talk at you, you try your best to express facially that you aren't interested and are busy but he just doesn't get it. One of my colleague who is a bit more blunt actually lets out a loud sigh every now and then when the lad starts talking to him but he is still oblivious to it.

 

Just can't stand boring people who are unable to shut up, I am hardly Mr Excitement but this guy is literally the biggest dullard that has ever lived and he is always behind everyone with "news" so will start telling you something you found out about weeks ago (today was Scarlett Johanssen's [can't spell!] nude photos) and you just have to sit there, nod and make the odd comment like you are interested. On the nude pictures thing I did actually tell him I saw them a while back but he basically called me a liar and said they had only come out today.

 

 

 

 

Quite a rant that, he really is big rant worthy though.

Bloke at work was telling us he’d seen Jimi Hendrix play at the Mayfair.
 

Hendrix never played the Mayfair, he played The Go-Go and City Hall in 1967.
Maybe he got the venue mixed up, you say?

I asked him how old he is, he’s 62, so he’d have been 9yrs old in 1967. 
He totally failed to realise I’d just called him out, and went on to describe how he’d been blown away when he played Voodoo Chile. 
 

Voodoo Chile was recorded in 1968, a year after Hendrix last appearance in Newcastle. 
 

 

Whopper :lol:

I once worked with a bloke in his 50s who reckoned he was fishing once, drew his rod back and it hooked onto a sheep in the field behind and he proceeded to be dragged across said field by this sheep. He also reckoned his brother won the lottery and never told anyone, and that he used to rob post offices. After I left that job one of the lads there text me to tell me the same lad had told them he'd seen a UFO.

My uncle did actually see him at the Go Go. Or so he reckons. At least he’s old enough to have done so like.

Wait till he tells you about the time Vera Lynn sang to him and the rest of the lads on Normandy beach a couple of weeks after they'd taken it good and proper. :good:

You have to admire the bloke for sticking to his guns given how easy it is to prove him wrong. 

 

Barefaced Billy Bullshitting is a dying art these days thanks to those bastards at Google. Fair play to him for giving it a go.

Worked with someone who reckoned his dad jumped overboard a ship docked just off Malta to swim there for a night out. Got halfway to shore and he was getting tired and a passing dolphin sensing him struggling gave him a lift.

It was so fucking ridiculous - I knew ( without Google) that Hendrix had never played the Mayfair, (partly down to previous Williams claiming to have seen him there) and also since this bloke was clearly not old enough. 
I already had “full of shite” vibes about the bloke, but this was just confirmation. 
 

I didn’t call him out as I want to see what other shite he comes out with. 
 

( Claimed to have seen Pink Floyd in the same conversation, but I didn’t ask him for details on that- totally possible he has seen them, but if, as I suspect, he’s claiming Syd Barrett Floyd he can fuck off twice. :lol:)

Hendrix and Floyd played on the same tour in 1967, appearing at the City Hall… when he was 9.

I've worked with a few 'tall story' merchants but a few were real characters to be fair. The real work wankers are as funny as toothache and could never have you laughing. One old workmate told a tale about stealing a fire engine in Cairo and driving around in it to impress a 'Russian' princess he later shagged. :lol: Another old navy sweat told us a tale about a pet monkey called Gus which had us on the floor laughing. Apparently he traded a little monkey with some natives offshore in Africa, he knitted a red velvet waistcoat for it and they were besties at sea and he was basically Gus's dad. Then they arrived months later at Liverpool and someone said he couldn't bring Gus ashore so he handed Gus over to a passing tugboat and that was that. Years later, coming into Liverpool he looked onshore at some bushes at dawn and saw this massive gorilla like creature with little bits of ripped red velvet around it's shoulders. 'Gus?' he shouted and the beast obviously heard him and recognised his voice as it became quite animated beating it's chest and waving back at him. :lol:

@Howmanheyman, this bloke is definitely in the second category of work wankers- he thinks he’s a gaffer ( aye, one of them). 
 

The first time I spoke to him, he’d pointed out some minor discrepancy in what I was wearing ( hadn’t yet been issued company gear), and told me I couldn’t wear toecappers to drive. 
My first words to him were,

Me-” Are you one of the gaffers?”

BS- “ No, but I’ve been here a few years”

Me- “Right…fuck off then”


Turned out even that was shite as he’d been there 6 months :lol:

Can't remember if I've mentioned him here but a kid at work likes a good bullshit tale but a lot of the time it's things that you'd never even lie about. He tells everyone he can drive when he can't for one. Just, why bother? He was also mates with Coloccini (don't know how) and he once couldn't come into work because he had to take his dog to the vets because it had a bad head.

I'd be tempted to give him the benefit of the doubt like unless he seems like he's begging for attention. It's not all that far fetched.

 

Driving thing aside I've also been unable to come into work because of my non-existent dog needed an emergency vet appointment and even met Duncan Disorderly twice and he was mostly sound tbh.
