    People who say 'Good evening' to someone who's a bit late

    One of the guys just arrived, 0910 Dutch time, having driven through some pretty heavy traffic to get here. You know how he feels; knackered, needing a cup of coffee and just wants to quietly get on with his work, but of course there's always a smartypants, in every office in the world, and as the guy walks in and summons up whatever good cheer he has left after the drive to work, he says 'good morning', as you do. Of course, smartypants 'scrum master', who arrived only 5 minutes earlier, says 'Good evening' in his usual sarcastic fashion. Now I know that smacking people in the chops at work is highly unprofessional, but I'm tempted.
    FFS, if someone's late once in a while, give him break; he's probably had a pretty stressful morning and doesn't need some sarcastic pillock making smarty-arsed remarks.

    So you're outraged on behalf of someone else! Are you backed up by any chance?

          Sounds like D+C to me. Burn the disguised permie!

            Slap your massive dick down on his desk and shout, 'Read it and weep, sunshine.'

                  You may well be on an English speaking project but just because the Europeans speak english doesn't mean they have an english sense of humor
                  The last Dutch PM that I had didn't even say good morning or good evening he just arrived at my desk at 9:05 and said "BS you are late for the meeting"

                    The other one that pisses me off is when someone comes in early and some one thinks they are original by saying "tulip the bed?"
