Badrobot I think you were missing the point. Babybird said ''I know where you're coming from'' and said that they went through the same as I'm going through - working with lazy people. They were not implying that I was the lazy one.
Yes, yes, yes. And she didn't try to use your job to insult me. OK.

But...I don't sit around drinking tea. I never said that. I'm the one working and don't get time for a 10-minute break at all, while the others sit and drink tea and coffee for 2 hours or more, while they should be helping me. I'm a fast worker, but I am only one human, I can't get all the coaches clean on my own, which means the coaches aren't being washed because I don't have time. The others have plenty of time to wash the coaches when they've finished fueling and parking up, but they don't, they just sit around and do nothing when they're being paid and should be helping to keep the coaches clean.
You should not mention drinking tea part at all. It makes it look like you are just jealous, like this is your only concern, that they get to sit and drink tea and you are not.

To make you get it, I will give an example that may be simpler for you. Let's just say you and me work in a supermarket on night shifts and there are 3 other people also doing the same shift. Four of us are trained to use the check-outs but you're not, so your job is to stock the shelves. Our job is also to stock shelves when we're not on the check-outs. The nights are quiet in the supermarket and only requires one or two check-outs to be open, but all 4 of us are on the check-outs having a laugh and a chat among ourselves. Then the supermarket closes halfway through our shift, so the check-outs don't need to be used any more, but instead of helping you stock up the shelves, we all just go and sit in the lounge for the rest of the shift (which is like 2 hours or more) and drink tea, while you're still out there trying to get all the shelves stocked up on your own but can't quite manage to do it all on your own, so the next day there are a lot of empty shelves, which shouldn't be so.
If I'm paid to stock shelves until then end of shift and I'm doing it, I don't care what others do. If management would confront me about empty shelves I would tell them to check CCTV footage and they will see I'm the only one doing it.
People not doing their job properly is an issue that concerns these people and employer, not me.
