The cheek of it!

A man came up to me the other day who had the unmitigated temerity to say, "Hello."

Has anyone else had a similar brush with such disdainful attitude?

Apologies to Messrs Derrek, Clive.

Someone double-whammied me with 'good morning' then nipped off smartly before he could be identified or even replied to. Chucked the etiquette manual at him, but missed

I had both of those experiences on the same day. What a remarkable coincidence!

I haven't had such an experience, but did I ever tell you about the worst job I ever had?

No danger of such behaviour at a secret HQ near London.... Everyone seems to just stare at their shoes when in close order with another human...

Jointery at its best...

Mighty... it's all very well suggesting this thread should go to JetBlast, but you just don't get the same level of witty reply as in this fine fourm.

With your apparent lack of humour, you may well be one of the original victims of Messrs Derek / Clive. Ever considered jumping from a building onto a blanket?

All together now...

I have no examples of pleasantry exchange, however, a person at my place of work displayed the ultimate cheek by daring to do a job that needed doing just the other day. Not only that, but he did it without without asking, and then, if that wasn't enough, he dared to looked pleased with himself. On seeking guidance from QRs I found that I can now discharge him from the service, the cocky t***.!!!

Maybe not the right thread but here goes;

Why is it that its ok for a person of higher rank in the Air Force to call a lower rank by their first name but not be best pleased when that same person replies equally by using the corresponding first name?


Blimey, that was a mouthful

It's the way it is because that's what we do. The Navy has the same SOP on this; but then it's called tradition.
