Lollipop lady 'banned' from high-fiving school pupils. No doubt the complaint(s) came from a driver annoyed at having to wait a few more seconds whilst these pesky children crossed the road. Why cannot whoever took the complaint call tell the complainer to go and get a life. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-...s&ns_source=facebook&ns_linkname=news_central
We should all be robots and not communicate to each other in the street. Never stop to do anything other than get to your destination. Someone will be triggered if you do something to try and make someones day better so best not to try at all.
I think it's more pathetic that the council actually took the initial complaint seriously. It should have been laughed out and the person making the complaint told to get a life. It always amazes me that councils don't have time/money to do anything productive, but put something stupid and frivolous in front of them, and they're all over it.
How sad must your life be to not only get annoyed by someone high fiving a couple kids but to then also complain about it?
Based on the complaints I get about inconsequential ****? I'm gonna say it's not that uncommon to be that tightly wound that a two or three second delay makes you **** blood and spit bile.
Welcome to my daily struggle. Members of the public can be thankless sometimes, to the point where they are rude. Some of the things you hear people complain about in my job really makes you think there is no hope for the human race. I've got one complaint on my desk which I have yet to deal with in regards to someone complaining about there being far too many gay police officers in someones area, and its not even our remit to deal with that.
Amaze. My youngest, one in January, has just learned how to high-five, so no, I find it entirely adorable.
From a pragmatic point of view the council should have considered that high-fiving doesn't actually slow either party down. It can actually make them cross faster if they do a run-up to the high-five. I can't see how someone would be irritated by that, unless the people high-fiving were so bad that it required several tries to get a satisfying result. Edit: Still a non-news story though. Slow day at the bbc maybe...
Iit may well be a slow news day but the story is pretty much indicative of society in general and council jobsworths in particular.
Like the one who was all "You can't film here!" up to the point of disconnecting the camera on a LIVE BBC news outside broadcast?
I worked in retail up until this year - have decided enough was enough and have embarked on a degree. what have I learnt about people from retail? pretty much everyone is a rude ****ing asshat .
Yes, can confirm! Worked in retail about 20 years ago in a large store that rhymes with vomit, customer comes in to buy a printer. Me: Sorry sir, that particular model is out of stock, we'll have some in stock later this week. Customer: Can I buy the display model, discounted? Me: I'm afraid not sir, would you like me to take your number and give you a call when they're in stock? Customer: $&#! off.... (proceeds to physically assault me). Sod retail.... sod it to hell!
Some people just enjoy moaning for the sake of moaning. It gets them nowhere, but we get to have a good laugh about it. We get lots of serial callers, 2 of which alone have generated 150 cases each, all of which are nonsense.
This just raises too many questions. How many is (a) far too many, (b) too many, (C) the correct amount, (d) too few. Secondly what is this person's method for identification of these gay officers - are they going to any lenghs nessasery!?
Adults high fiving kids is cringey, but kids don't know that and they don't need to know that. Practical question, how do they know which Officers are gay? Are they issued rainbow stab vests or something?
