    There is this one girl at my work that I was warned about...apparently she pees wherever she wants.

    Whaaaaaat??? Like in her pants, or on stuff?! :lol:
    On the floor...
    Naaah. Come on! :lol: .... You're working with dogs. I just figured it out (i hope).

    A co worker who sits two cubes over....sends me an email asking for me to make her a photocopy of a document. First, I am jot your fucking secretary. Second, you have to send me an email from two cubes over? Grow some fucking nuts.

    The same dude with the defective personality who i was complaining about earlier in this thread will send me an email with a question when he is sitting literally 6 feet away from me (or was, until I got my own office 2 weeks ago... it is much less irritating in my office!).

    yeah, this same co worker will email me (and even people right next to her). it's bizarre, super-anti-social behaviour. all of us are always nice to her. so it makes zero sense. and with the high probability of an email being taken the wrong way, it's just plain stupid.

    you're reminding me of this one girl I worked with, she sat in the next cube section behind me-so she could see my computer screen. I was working on data entry, and I knew the form by heart so I rarely ever looked at my screen, just entered numbers off whatever I was reading.
    She would send me stupid emails, and I unfortunately had the email pop-up notification on so one day, she kept sending me emails and when I would hit 'enter' on my forms, her email would open. I knew she was doing this on purpose because I would look up and see her email, sigh and hear her snicker behind me.
    I finally got sick of it after a few times so I turned off the notifications (and because I wanted to get work done), after an hour there were 10 emails from her-none urgent, but she went and complained to the supervisor that I wasn't reading emails right away... image

    I'll only do the email thing if I need documentation - a paper trail of some kind. But for something like that? Pffft!

    I guess some people email because it's not urgent and they don't want to disturb you. Sometimes people are busy and it can wait. We do it at my work - and there's only 2 of us here.

    yeah, I get that. But my work area is very open. everyone talks openly. she is the ONLY one of several of us that does it. over 8 years, it seems more of an avoidance issue than a non-urgent one. she also tried to resolve a conflict with someone via email who sits next to her. it's ridiculous.

    I used to do emails with someone in the same room cuz he was a slimy fuck and i didn't trust him. Anything work related got documented either by hand or in email. That way whenever he tried to blame me for something he fucked up I had proof he was lying.
    Can't trust anyone nowadays.

    Damn is it awesome though when you catch them in a lie you have documented. A dipshit in another office tried telling our joint SVP he never agreed to pick up some costs he had agreed to. I of course denied his denial. Our SVP set up a joint meeting between the 3 of us over the phone. Little did the dipshit know that I sent the SVP all the emails where he did indeed agree to pick up the costs. So at the start the dipshit keeps denying it until our boss started reading him the emails I sent him. Dipshit kept denying it until email number 3 was read and there was no way he could claim stupidity or anything else. It was the greatest moment for me in dealing with some of the morons I have to. I would have given almost anything to see the dipshits face during the meeting.

    put paper in the Xerox machine when it runs out...

    seriously, you'd think these people would just be getting out of their cars and walking away if they can't refill something.

    Then go and ask someone to help. Don't drain it and simply walk away. Doing that just leaves the next person with 1) the task that belonged to the person who drained it, and 2) having to drink warm water.

    My workplace is right next to Optical and the Optometrist, who only works part-time, ALWAYS slams the door (I guess with each patient he takes back there). It actually startled me twice today. How do you even deal with something like that? Go next door and ask him not to slam it from now on??

    Well, everyone has a preferred method of communication. Some people are talkers - they aren't happy unless they're talking with someone, either face to face or over the phone. Some people prefer to communicate in writing, often because they get flustered trying to explain something verbally, or they have trouble getting their points across in person.

    I know what you are saying. But i know this woman very well. And i know why she does it. Its part of a pattern of passive agressiveness coupled with cowardice.

    My vp is the fucking worst for this. He insists on getting coffee from our station, in some transparent attempt to be one with the people, but he has never made a pot in his life. AND he leaves a pile of spilled coffee mate. Cant even be bothered to clean it. It is like dust. You could breathe on it and it would disappear. Zero effort.

    Why do people have to talk on the phone while sitting on the toilet taking a dump? Grunting and fart noises in between sentences. If I was on the other end of the line I would hang up. How gross is that. And to think of the amount of germs on that guys phone.
