Honestly, some peoples!
So, you have a kitchen area at work. There is a countertop with a fridge under. To the right of the fridge is a Hot Water tap, for scaling your hands on. To the right of that, there is a sink and faucets for washing ups.
There are also 3 other counter tops, with nothing underneath.
So, I have a mug to wash out, because I want a hot Lemsip to cure the lurgy.
Perhaps I'm being totally thick here. I want to use the sink to wash my cup. I should stand in front of the sink and wash my mug. Move over to the hot tap, and fill with hot water.
No?
Obviously not!
Seems the few people gathered at the vending machines are as dumb as dumbasses who took a course in dumb and failed for being too dumb to be dumb.
Which makes them gormsters!
2 gormsters are stood by the fridge. Gossiping about girls and footy.
Another gobshite comes along to use the fridge. The gormsters move over to block the vending machines.
The gobshite then puts his mugs above the fridge, get the milk out, and instead of moving to a free counter, starts filling mugs with coffee, teabags, milk, sugar etc.
So, we have a queue of people waiting for the fridge because the gobshite can't be arsed to use one of the 3 spare countertops alongside and behind.
Naturally, he then wants to wash a mug out, so reaches across the hot tap, stretches to the sink, and washes his mug out.
So, there's peoples waiting, and he's blocked every option, just to wash a mug out!
Soon as he unfurls back to the fridge, a cretin jumps in. The cretin needs some Hot Water. So, naturally, cretin stands in front of the sink, reaches over to the left, and fills his mug up from the central tap.
Am I the one who's being thick here?
I went to the sink. Washed my mug. I then moved to the spare countertop and dried it, and added the powdery anti-Flu mix (bleurgh!). Finally, I moved to the Hot Tap and filled it with scaldy water.
Now - that makes sense to me, yet NO ONE ELSE DOES IT! They stand in front of the wrong bit and block it, and reach over to get at the item they need!
It's like doors. I've ranted before about the inability of gormsters to comprehend the mechanics of how doors work. But this is slightly different.
Take a pair of closed double doors. Inevitably, people will stand in front of one door, open the one next to it, then dart around the closed door! Me - I approach a door, open the one in front of me and walk through. What's so difficult about that!
Maybe I'm the awkward one... perhaps I'm missing something obvious about the way these people move about...
...or perhaps I'm the only sensible person here, and as ever, beset on all sides by gormsters!
