Surely it goes without saying . . . . . .
. . . . . . if you ask for mayo on your salami salad sandwich they put the mayo on the salad side not the meat side ? 
The dozy bints who make my sandwiches do this so often it really irks me. Mayo is clearly the salad accompaniment and it also serves to stick hold the salad in the sandwich so it doesn't all drop out - SURELY EVERYONE KNOWS THIS so why would you spread mayo on one side and then stick the meat on top of it???!!  . . . . . . . . . and relax.
and surely carpetted professional (ish) offices generally operate a no dogs policy?
Used to work in an office on first floor - client was coming up to see me on the first floor - receptionist told him to "go up and Mr Howard will meet you at the top of the stairs". As i head towards stairs I can hear this really heavy breathing getting more and more strained - poor old bugger I think - bad emphysemia that. I am then met by Staffordshire Pit Bull straining at the leash to get up stairs ahead of owner I was too shocked to say get your stinking dog out of here so i just got on with the appointment asap while the dog lounged on my nice carpetted floor. The receptionist said "oh well there isn't a sign saying "no dogs" so I thought they were allowed"
Anything else that dimwits have done that make you think "is it just me but surely it goes without saying doesn't it. . . . .?"

On sandwich making people. I'm sorry, but most of them aren't very clever.
It's the same people who are unable to put napkins the right way into dispensers. How fucking clever do you have to be to realize that they're supposed have the fold OUT so you actually have something to grab? Not very.
Don't get me started on bog roll dispensers!

Enjoyed the Harry Hill reference there.
As long as Mayo stays as physically far away as possible from chips, I'm happy

Re: Surely it goes without saying . . . . . .
I got 2 rounds of door step toast from our canteen the other day, one of them was a crust.
Have a guess which side she stuck the butter on  |

Reminds me of when I worked in a tall ofiice building in Portsmouth many moons ago. The computer operators had to work weekends. One of them used to bring his smelly dog in on Saturday and Sunday, which drove the ohers mad. So when the dog owner went to the toilet, one of the other ops took the dog, placed it in the lift, and pressed all of the 13 floor buttons. I'll spare you the scatalogical trail, enough to say that the dog didn't make it back into the office again.

Would this be the same dimwitted receptionist that thought my new furniture was being delivered by the DSS? [DFS]

Or when they put the salt and vinegar on after placing the sausage/fish on the chips. The level of interception is unbelievable especially with a fish |

This was the 500,000th post on the fora, dontchaknow.
Well worthy of some sort of award for PTP. Possibly the order of the golden salt cellar.

exactamundo
like the phrase "level of interception" by the way - must use that.
and don't get me started on scouts who help pack your shopping in the supermarket and put eggs, bread and lettuce at the bottom of the bag followed by 1kg of spuds |

So, is that 2 or 4 slices?! To some people a round of toast equates to to 2 slices...

Re: Surely it goes without saying . . . . . .
Very often sandwich making girls are fit, I find. I can forgive them the odd misplaced condiment or two, although I get pissed off when I ask for "a little" mayo and they drown the fucker.

I can relate to Alan Partridge's take on a full English: "Beans a bit close to the egg, always use the sausage as a breakwater."
