He’s a gent and no mistake

KIDS THESE DAYS DON’T KNOW THEY’RE BORN!!! Back in pre-mobile phones days, hanging around was a fact of life.

Not fucking acceptable.

I remember one morning during the summer holidays my alarm didn’t go off and I literally woke up at 10:55 Saturday morning when I was supposed to be meeting Lloyd by Tescos at 11am so we could go hang out around town. I put some clothes on as fast as I could, grabbed my bike and cycled all the way there and only arrived at five past eleven. I remember being so impressed with how fast I’d reacted, even if I was feeling mank from a lack of shower and the intense cycle.

Cunt didn’t turn up till 11:30.

Dude, you’ve got to meet Callum. 30+ minutes late every time. But if you weren’t there when he arrived, fucker would be away in a huff.

Callum can get fucked.

People that are habitually late are almost always incredibly impatient in my experience, primarily due to the fact that they are unaccustomed to ever having to wait for someone :rage:

Totally forgot I made this thread. Fyi somebody was supposed to make a subsequent thread titled “Getting crushed like a bug on the ground”, extremely disappointed this didn’t happen.

I am too. Good work tho.

Some people have this stuff called “luggage”.

Well sure, but I’d “walk” down and “help” them with it.

Currently doing the worst hanging around, waiting for “one of our engineers will be with you between 8 and 12”.

It probably is sexist in a broader structural sense that there are no female three star generals, but I get your point.

Don’t mind that much if I get to sit and have a pint by myself in the meantime. Should try and engineer it to happen more often tbh.

It has got a little better these days, but it usually guarantees a call from their mobile at 12:30 saying they got stuck on a job and are 20 minutes away.

11:46 - no sighting.

Keep thinking of the very underrated, and slightly creepy Travis song - ‘Happy to Hang around’ when I see this thread
