grumpiest proffesion

I think its a bit harsh to lump all bus drivers together. I'd refine it to something more specific - bus drivers in Reading.

How much is it?

i actually did a cleaning job for one of those dancers at spear and she was lovely, kept makin me drinks and she even gave me a tip, she said that the blokes that went there deserved to be ripped off as they were saddos as all they did was chat the girls up expecting to get somewhere, it was quite an eye opener really

I dont think any profession can be classed as grumpy, you can catch anyone on a bad day and they'll be grumpy. Whereas most of the time they'll be alright.

I would have to say the agents that sit at the other end of the line at phone call centres. They have to sit there, often tightly packed together with a manager looking over their shoulder making sure they get through x calls per day. They have to take whatever the customer dishes out to them, they can't really react in case they lose the custom which would get them negative marks from the above mentioned managers. I think having a calm head should be a pre-requisite for the job, but I can honestly understand how they can get grumpy and want to vent.

a call centre agent just learns to bite their tongue, forget about the call and move onto the next. After a while it becomes part of the job. After a day of abuse on the phone there is nothing better than walking out of the office and going home to your family.

Some i have encountered are...

Lapdancers at Spearmint Rhino (ok controversial one, but some of them go round acting SO miserable even though they earn around £1000 a night from mugs like me and my frieinds!! Cheer up or go home, no one is forcing you to stay!)

Hey! Im a Lapdancer and Im only miserable when you put a fiver in my garter rather than a £10 or a £20! Pay me more and Ill be happy for you! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Jk. Obviously.

Ha! I knew some muppet would say this.

It's a shame that the ignorant people that assume accountants are boring exist.

I find that the only people that ever assume I do a boring job are the ones that are too thick to understand what an accountant actually does for a living - like the ones that say we count beans :rotfl: counting is something we don't usually do!

As somebody said above, this is an argument waiting to happen.

Funny some of us who use the term bean counters are ACCA trained :rolleyes:
Just from personal exerience, Accountants attempt to be more fun loving and exciting yet IME fail spectacularly, e.g Novelty Ties & Novelty Socks do not make anyone funny

I've been to Reading a couple of times, and found the drivers helpful and polite.

I'd refine it to Aberdonians (and I'm one myself, it's why I left that dung heap of a city).

And you poor lads have split shifts, lates then an early, "rest day" working working 10days straight...Hubby was one for 3 yrs. then there are the poeple that moan because you are late, despite the fact there are roadworks all over town and no one has let you out of a bus stop. You get the people paying either all with 5p's ot £20 notes first thing in the morning. Queue pushers, drunks, school kids......

Yup I think bus drivers get a raw deal from passengers!

LOL, you really do know what we have to go through
