Things about your co-workers that annoy you

[hunter_le five]

One of my coworkers just interrupted my lunch and asked me to come downstairs to "help her deal with an emergency". I get there, and she tells me there's a bird flying around in the main hall. She asked me to make the bird leave.

Dafuq do you want me to do about it? It's perched on a light fixture 50 feet up in the air. I sure as hell ain't flying up there to shoo it away. Unless you got a pellet gun handy, open a door until it leaves.

Why you...are you the new guy?

At least once a week a co-worker decides to microwave fish in the break room. So gross.

 

[Psylocide]

Reported?

Anyone else see that?

 

[hunter_le five]

Negative.

Could they at least ****ing try with these damn e-cards?

Tell me how that picture relates to the subject matter, at all.

Flies mean "stinky?" Oh, sure... gotcha. Probably a moth anyway. Stupid.

Negative.

Oh, alright then. No harm, no foul. Except post deleted.

If she was hot I would have put on my Superman cape and flown up there.

If she was hot, he wouldn't have posted this here.

He'd still be trying to get that stupid bird out.

She looks and sounds similar to this creature:

And this.

when you are using the microwave to heat up your lunch, and you set it for 3 mins, walk away to get silverware and napkins to come back to find your lunch on top of the microwave, cold, and a co workers lunch inside the microwave, they are lucky i didn't throw it against the wall...

there are about 10 microwaves in cafe also... he walked by and gave me a dirty look, i laughed while walking to another microwave-

The overload of perfume or cologne...one spritz is enough.

I would have beat his a$$... well, maybe not as it is nice to be employed.

Next time you get the chance, pecker-whip his coffee mug...

A little bit of Everclear into his food!

Thanks! I've been stuck in the Ctrl+Alt+Del and then select "Lock this Computer" with the mouse.

This will save me some time...

FYI I just wanted to say thanks again on this one...

I'm on the other side of a variant or your situation. We have two microwaves and some people start their dish and then decide to walk away, use the bathroom, take a call, who knows what else while others wait in line to use the remaining one. Fortunately it's only occasional as the main abuser often works from home.

Always happy to share my knowledge. And as a bonus are you aware of the "Oh Flocc" button combination? the windows key and the letter D will minimize the entire screen to desktop background (press it again to restore everything again) whenever someone walks up behind you and you dont want them to be reading over your shoulder.

Thinking your mom/wife works here to clean up the break room after you. If you're a mgmt type and buy bagels for "employee spirit" or bring in a b'day cake for a mgmt types, appoint someone to clean up (or in Navy parlance, field day) the area when all is said and done. Put a napkin over your food when you nuke it, put foil down when you use the toaster oven (and not the other way around). When you go to put your 3 gallon lunch bag in the fridge, don't just cram everyone else's stuff to the back. I recently found my leftover spare ribs container from DECEMBER against the back wall of the fridge. Write your name and the date on the package when you stick your schist in the fridge . Don't make me open a "science project" to find out if it's bad or not. Glass containers or not, it's trash bound. When I first started the job we had six crews. Each week it was a different crews' responsibility to clean the break room. Over the years, we had people whine... complain to mgmt that since they didn't use the break room, they shouldn't have to help clean it up. The same people who won't contribute to the SAT TV fund, because they don't watch TV at work, who are always in the break room watching TV. Seriously though, besides that my coworkers aren't that bad. Once we got rid of the "cheese eaters" (rats) that is.
Okay, deep breath, slow exhale. Rant over. Thanks for playing...

Anytime I have to pull my wallet out. For anything. Find a spare $1 in my pocket and attempt to move it to wallet or have to get my password hint sheet out of it, I get the somehow unavoidable "How much you giving me?" or "Oh, mr. moneybags, buying us lunch?" comments.

I have a coworker who is a professed "foodie".
So every day when I eat lunch at my desk while working he leans in and asks "what you got"?

I cant imagine the thrill of finding out that I have a tuna wrap or chunky soup!
Then he goes back to his desk for his bologna sandwich and coleslaw!
it has become so annoying that last time he said "soup"? I responded with "Ham sandwich"!

I'm in the midst of another statewide reply-all fiasco. How floccing hard is it, people?!

my boss will actually get upset with us if we don't use Reply-All.

 

[hunter_le five]

How about that asshoke that requests a "read receipt" in every email, no matter how trivial or unimportant?

I hit "no" every time, even if I do actually decide to read it.

My favorite is when some idiot sends out an All company email and requests a read receipt. I hit yes and just laugh and laugh about how many stupid confirmations that moron just got.

I can understand it in some cases, but this isn't one of them.

A woman sent out an email requesting status reports after the storms we had yesterday. She meant to send it to a particular position in each office, but instead she sent it to the whole mailing list. Instead of applying a little common sense and realizing "ok, this obviously isn't meant for me" and ignoring it, people have to start replying (to everyone, of course) asking what is going on.

The message originator responds explaining her mistake and asking the non-relevant people not to respond. Someone else then chimes in complaining about the apology. SMH...

This is your best friend in these cases. I say Flocc read receipts.

We have an employee who requests a read receipt for every email he sends.
He then goes the extra mile by saving a print out of each and every read receipt in a job file. The amount of time & paper he has wasted over the years is astronomical.

When I worked for Bear Stearns (yikes) about 13 years ago (yikes) someone somehow sent a rather unimportant email to the entire company. I think at the time there were @15,500 employees. That was bad enough, but then everyone and his brother sent a reply-all "I don't think I am an intended recipient" email back.
