    Asking for professionalism, courtesy, accuracy and the like - my goodness, so much to ask! Damn straight I'm going to judge someone with a poor work ethic.

    I'm not lowering my standards because someone else does. That applies not only to the work environment either.

    Damn straight sister!
    Just because I'm generally a nice person does not mean that you can take advantage of me or treat me with disrespect. I'm sick of it and will call someone out for being a shithead.
    I have little tolerance for self-absorbed people.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Inside ... granted this was in a construction jobsite trailer, but still ... Some gruff concrete superintendent who I actually don't think he was self-conscious about what he was doing as he was having a conversation with someone when he committed the crime.

    I just know I wouldn't.

    An office is typically as staid or laid-back (or somewhere in-between) as the people make it.

    Where I am, most wear jeans or dress casually...am definitely not tied to my desk - fortunately for my back! - have a nice large window in my office, and overall work with some really good folks. And the owners of the company take great care of their employees - healthy bonuses, monthly birthday lunches, early closings, etc.

    I actually love it here, not to mention the five-minute commute.

    my dad was miserable in his job for 40 years....in an office.....so I always told myself I wouldn't do that........but I just kinda fell into through having other types of jobs in the same company......I've been a desk jockey now since 2000. And yeah, I'd rather be doing something else. I don't know how many people actually ASPIRE to working in an office! LOL

    I guess it's not all bad. I just happened to mention in passing I felt like having a Crown (Royal) and coke.....to which my boss replied...."well, if you have a bit of a cold tomorrow....cool with me".

    A lot of you are pretty judgmental towards your co-workers.

    I would LOVE to hear your co-workers opinions towards YOU.

    Haha

    Especially a few of you..
    Who have all the answers, to all the questions, who are Gods gift to the World. That the rest of us, who crawled out from under our rocks, just yesterday, thank the dear Lord for putting you on this planet.
    Hell if it wasn't for some of you, and the fact that the rest of us here have you, to lead us through life....I don't now how I/we could possibly survive on this planet without YOU!

    Hahahaha



    you piss on the seat in the stall because you refuse to stand at the urinal AND refuse to lift the seat....don't you?

    I stand on my secretaries desk....
    Call her a weaning old hound dog...
    Drop my pants, urinate on her desk...
    Then tell her to go get me some coffee......

    Is this frowned upon?

    Although not in an Office per say ,the Famous job site Port-o-let bathroom has some of the finest hand drawn art,pornagraphy and cultural learnings on its walls of any work place.
    I seriously thought of taking pictures of this beautiful art and making a coffee table book.
    You have never seen genitalia drawn so accurately.Always some good rascist quips written to make one laugh . Nothing is quite as special as a quick stop into one of them on a hot July day here in South Florida when the pump truck is a week over do and large crews are all sharing one box.Mmmmmmm.Unless it's an emergency you don't want to enter these boxes from hell.

    Not really in an office setting, but the guys operating the bull dozers will key up their radio mic during a 30 second Jim hendrix solo and tie up the radio for at least 30 seconds. That drives me crazy because if someone actually needed help or was hurt during that time, we would have to wait for that douche bag let go of the mic. It's actually very dangerous to be doing shit like that. I sent a guy home for the day after he did it 3 times by lunch.

    I dislike sales people for the most part. To the people here who are sales I am of course not talking about you. There are many very cool sales people, just not that I work with. The ones I work with I find extremely wasteful with money in particular (which effects my bonus) and condescending as well. Our sales department in this specific office scaled back after over hiring for a couple of years. My development team moved into an area they used to occupy as it was a better spot. While most of us were in a meeting one of the leftover sales managers was going through our desk drawers looking for something he said was left behind by one of the people who left. The office manager was in tow telling him he couldn't do that but of course it didnt stop him. He couldn't remember where the person sat and thought that gave him permission to invade our space.

    What I hated the most was people who would leave food in the fridge.....for days, weeks or months even. That is just disgusting, at the end of every week you should be doing a check and clean of your own science experiments. That stuff was just nasty.

    We have signs on our office refrigerators that warn people to take their shit home or it will be thrown out on Friday evening - containers and all. Bad thing is our cleaning lady retired at the end of 2014 and the new outsourced crew doesn't really give a fuck about the fridge. And I can probably count on one hand how many ppl in the office actually clean up after themselves. Fucking ridiculous.

    We have the booger problem in the bathrooms, too. I will NEVER understand that. You're in the fucking bathroom. There is plenty of toilet paper and paper towels in there for you to blow your nose into (or pick, since that seems to be your leitmotif).

    And speaking of public bathrooms and things I will never, under any circumstance, understand... what's with people who take a shit and don't fucking flush the god damned toilet? HOW DO YOU FORGET TO FUCKING DO THAT?!?!! No one in the history of the universe wants to see someone else's turds stewing in the bowl when they go to take a leak.

    People are fucking gross.

    Since everyone is too sloppy and lazy to ever clean up after themselves in the office kitchen, i ended up cleaning it on Thursday before someone died of food poisoning after preparing their lunch there (i don't even use the kitchen, yet was the only one who bothers to clean it. Grrrrrrrrrrr.). I found a Tupperware just completely full of fucking mold on the counter, tucked behind some other Tupperware people were too lazy to put away. It was labeled "Beef mix". Whatever the fuck that is. So gross!!!

    One place I worked at, we had a huge problem with the fridge and science experiments-they seriously expected 250 people to share 1 fridge.

    The new rule was ''EVERYTHING will be tossed every Friday'. The sign was posted on the fridge in fluorescent paper, said it included Tupperware, creamer, and condiments. Of course a month later, someone posted a 2 page note on the fridge going on and on about " how could anyone throw away my favorite winnie-the-pooh Tupperware, that I've had forever".

    PJ_Soul, you think your kitchen is gross? I don't even want to talk about the fridge at the clinic...OSHA would have a heart attack if they knew what happened there.

    you folks have the people who just dump their lunch in the sink and leave their dirty dishes soaking all afternoon?

    We had someone like that at my current job. My favorite was when she dumped a bunch of ramen noodles in the sink and left them there. I found it at the end of the day and cleaned it up.

    I was complaining about it to one of my co-workers the next morning. Later on, at lunch time, I found more noodles in the sink. Just gross. There are 8 of us sharing a large area so this time I just made an announcement to everybody, even though I knew perfectly well who had done it: "Whoever dumped noodles in the sink, would you please clean up after yourself!" The offender got up and said, "Oh, that was me, so sorry, that's the first time I've ever done that." I looked over at my co-worker that I'd complained to earlier and we both busted out laughing.

    The person who'd made the mess had many such habits. She no longer works here. I felt sorry for the person who inherited her cubicle. Lots of stuff to clean out. :sick:
