Irritating Office Behavior

paulonious said:

one of my number 1 annoyances: people leaving shit on my chair instead of in my in basket. Seriously. This is the epitome of selfish, childish behaviour. These people think they can cut in line of everyone else who left me something to look at. Sometimes I'm tempted to take that item back to that person and leave it on their chair.

Insert confused look here.

i worked in a office many years ago. i learned typing there & i did a lot of bullshit work. the company was being audited. during the audit five idiots were investigated for stealing cash from the cafeteria, vending machines, gift shop, accounts payable & even two company minivans w/ fuel cards totaling $14,000 in gasoline used on personal vacations. one of these asses down talked everyone. auditors are pretty crafting folks. one of them wore the business woman outfits, breasts & the whole nine yards. she was a long legged rockstar

what grinded my gears the most? the men's restroom had urine all over the floor, the walls, the urinals & the toilets. you'd think high dollar business professionals could pee correctly & nicely. buncha gross monsters

My 7 o'clock...the person who does absolutely nothing for the agency but is as loud as possible to "try" and show how stressed and busy they are.

To my 3 o'clock. This dude has the worlds largest frog farm in his throat. The noises he makes clearing that all day.

To my 12 o'clock. Dude can't eat yogurt. Makes him hack a lung. What does he do? Eats one for breakfast and another for lunch.

I can't stand going to the office. Today is a home day though

I work in an office. As many of us do. In a cube farm to be precise. In accounting. That right there, ladies and gentlement, is the trifecta of misery.

vent about your co-workers most irritating office behaviors here. Nothing is off limits.

Sounds like my husband's place of work (he's in accounting too). But he works for VCA, so that trifecta is WAY lessened by the presence of multiple dogs chilling about the place on a daily basis.

I'm also fortunate that the bullshit where I spend my days is minimal.

I did work with one chick though who had no idea what "leap year" was. She also called me at home, after hours, about work-related stuff. The fuck? I'm home now, leave me alone.

I can't stand the people who talk loudly on their cell phones while in the elevator or in common areas. I don't need to hear you complain to your wife about work or about your kids. My work also caters in lunch everyday. A company comes in and sets up a buffet with serving utensils in every dish yet some decide to grab some of the food items like the bread for the panini machine with their hands. I also never see some of them wash their hands in the restroom or do it with water only. Last I checked water doesn't kill germs.

That is the worst. I was actually just filling up my water bottle and there was some lady on the phone yelling at someone about something with her kid at school. I really don't get people....why the fuck would you want other people to be able to hear personal shit like that????

I can't stand it when someone takes their food out of the microwave before it's done and leaves the leftover time flashing on the screen. I don't want your 15 seconds you impatient bastard and you're really messing with my ocd.
