Country:  | I have fortunatly not had any complaints like that or I would probably hit my pilots.
One good one was one of the mechanics wrote up a circle red x after removing my blades for a phase inspection and wrote up as restricting it from flight! That really got me, I dont think anyone was going to try and fly it with the blades removed. I know I wasn't.

Country: | I did that one time actually. I signed off a fault that was entered wrong and needed to be reentered as "HMU has ****!" I did not mean to do it, I was just writing what was on my mind and well needless to say production control had a fun time tearing me a new butt hole the next day.

Country: | What gets me is when mechanics write hobbs meter or Tach time instead of actual airframe or engine time in the log books. I've tried to explain to them the difference between the two and also try to explain that tachometers and hobbsmeters go bad and can be changed before the airplane "dies." When I still get a "deer in the headlight look" I want to either smack them with a 2 x 4 or turn them into the FAA because either way they don't know what they're doing!

Country:  | Things I hate about everybody...
1.
People who point at their wrist while asking for the time...
I know where my watch is pal, where the f*ck is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?
2.
People who are willing to get off their arse to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.
3.
When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too".
F*cking right! What good is a cake if you can't eat it?
4.
When people say "it's always the last place you look".
Of course it is. Why the f*ck would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?
5.
When people say while watching a film "did you see that?".
No tosser, I paid 10 quid to come to the cinema and stare at the f*cking floor.
6.
People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".
Didn't really give me a choice there, did you sunshine?
7.
When something is 'new and improved!'.
Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it.
8.
When people say "life is short".
What the f*ck?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever f*cking does!! What can you do that's longer?
9.
When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks, "Has the bus come yet?".
If the bus came would I be standing here, Knobhead?
10.
People who say things like 'My eyes aren't what they used to be'.
So what did they used to be? Ears? Wellington boots?
11.
When you're eating something and someone asks 'Is that nice?'
No it's really revolting - I always eat stuff I hate.
12.
People who announce they are going to the toilet.
Thanks, that's an image I really didn't need.
13.
McDonalds staff who pretend they don't understand you unless you insert the 'Mc' before the item you are ordering...
It has to be a McChicken Burger, NOT just a Chicken Burger you get blank looks. Well I'll have a McStraw and jam it in your McEyes you Mcf*cking McTosser.
14.
When you’re involved in a accident and someone asks 'are you alright?'
Yes fine thanks, I'll just pick up my limbs and be off.
