I have a colleague that will turn up for work on his day off at least 4 times a year. He's a f*ck*ng bellend. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bobtheferret 1,226 Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Had a lad not turn up because he said his gutter was leaking and it kept him up all night so didn’t want to not be at his best and waste my money very kind of him. Same bloke also said he slept in till 12.30 in the afternoon because there was a power cut and his phone didn’t charge when he did roll in at 1.30pm let’s say he didn’t look that well rested but hungover and off his head. This all in his first week and needless to say his last week working for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
