    New one today. Idiot coworker asks me some oddball question about a system I manage. I can't answer weird random question but tell them it is a valid question and that I can get us a meeting with the support team who I work with in a couple of days to discuss. This discussion happened verbally. Idiot coworker in turn emails same question she asked me to a co-worker who is one step above me on the totem pole but not my boss. This person is also a good friend. Idiot co-worker in the email references she spoke with me but did not put my instructions. I now have friend co-worker thinking I am the idiot for not just taking care of it as he told her the same damn thing I said. If you are going to shop for the answer you want don't mention we talked. Its rude and now slowed down that meeting for a week as punishment. The support team is now to busy to meet until next week when I told them what she did.

    I'm 90% sure I'm missing something there. But you're mad at her for asking someone else a question you didn't know the answer to?

    But she took an unnecessary shot at him in the process.

    I was upset because it was my area and if I needed to go to my peer I would have. I knew he wouldn't know either and knew he would say exactly what I would say. Also, if you question shop for a better answer tell the whole story. Either say you spoke with me and I said whatever, or don't bring up you spoke with me at all. It just makes me look bad.

    RK just reminded me of this thread after I posted this in what on your mind right now...

    I got to work today, for the second day in a row this week and coffee had been spilled all over my desk...I emailed the night time sups and said "I don't mind if you set your coffee on my desk, but if you spill it, please clean up after yourself." and one of them replied telling me no one including himself had left a mess on my desk during his shift....I replied back well someone is spilling coffee on my desk and leaving it...and he replies "Ok"...GAH he's such an idiot, I am soooooooooo effing glad he's not my supervisor!!! It's irritating to be told no one is doing it, well I'm not effing making it up...and they are the only two in here....

    when you couple that with the constant announcement how busy they are/are about to be is unbearable.

    A lot of bathroom talk in this thread. I've got one that none of you have ever heard before.

    We have a poop squatter in our office.

    I haven't seen it myself but is has been confirmed..
    My friend went into the bathroom one time and happened to notice a pair of shoes were in a stall with no legs attached to them.

    Confused about this, he walked by and glanced really quick between the cracks and there it was, the poop squatter. The guy had his feet on the edge(I'm guessing) of the toilet seat and was perched on there just squatting over the bowl. Gives me nightmares.

    The two people who saw it went around the office and identified the poop squatter by his shoes.

    And the whole hump day thing on Wednesdays with the camels was funny two years ago when it first came out, but its just annoying now.

    guy I work with does this every fucking wednesday. I don't even politely react anymore.

    the traffic girl on the morning news does the "HUUUUUUmmmp-DA-ya!" in that low booming voice.

    I don't keep much in the fridge we share here - a thing of soy sauce, a couple bottles of Asian and ginger-miso dressing. I've even told folks to help themselves if they want; I truly don't mind.

    But when you use up the last of something, FUCKING TELL ME.

    My spicy tuna salad just isn't the same without sesame dressing :bawling:

    A friend of mine who has lived in china for many years now posted an article on facebook about the nature of human pooping, and how toilets atent natural, and how not one sqyater in hostory has ever had diverticulitis, etc. something to be said for squatting, i guess.

    Some starfish lover at work completely fucked up a weeks worth of work I had done to setup a test. I don't know who yet but will find out. When I do there will be holy hell to pay.

    acronyms
    people that come in at 9:30, sit down to work at 10 after getting breakfast/coffee, pretend to work until 11, do one hour of work, take 2 hour lunches, then bullshit with co-workers until three, and leave at 5 on the dot
