I can't stand people who use endless business-speak. Just talk like a normal person.

Sounds like someone needs to seize the day and be more pro-active!

No, I disagree. I think we need a paradigm shift for outside the box thinking. We can leverage our resources....

Let me think about that for awhile, and then I'll circle back....

Wow - that would drive me nuts. That's the exact definition of crazy. I bet that's the feeling you get when you officially lose your mind.

My brain doesn't even let me sing that song in my head, without saying Batman lol.

not co-workers annoying me today, but technology in general and Microsoft in particular

what part of "ASK ME to download and install updates" does Microsoft NOT ****ING UNDERSTAND?
brought the work PC in to the boss' office to clone & upgrade my hard drive because I only had like 5GB left on the old one
which is now 0.00GB, because of Microsoft updates which WERE NOT indicated, I DIDN'T APPROVE and my computer won't boot at all

Windows repair disk can't use any of the restore points, so, my PC is now a ****ing doorstop

and don't get me started on the ****ing Android update which took an hour to download (after uninstalling 90% of my apps to accommodate) only to FAIL on reboot

Insanity is defined as repeating the same actions expecting different results.

I kept on Restore, Repair, Restart, Repeat over and over and now my doorstop is once again a PC

Insanity is a legitimate troubleshooting technique

Reminds of trying to uninstall the HP all-in-one software from an XP computer. That Admin was not shot but should have been because it is easier to re-image the computer.

Or the Dot1X configuration failure fix on our NIPR computers in Iraq. The fix was do x, y and z, restart, log in as admin, verify fix worked, if not DO THE EXACT SAME STEPS that take about 45 minutes over and over again until it does work.

Hum it for about 3 minutes, then finally do the BATMAN part.

It feels great. It's like taking a hit off of a crack pipe.

There's some new people here that keep turning off the fan in the bathroom. Drives me nuts. I understand flipping the light switch to not waste electricity, but don't touch the ****in' fan! I keep walking in there and getting bombarded by a nice urinal boquet. Thanks a lot ********s.

Also the bathroom is one urinal, one stall. Some people go in and lock the door. Go beatoff elsewhere bro.

mission accomplished! :rockin:

I would have a celebratory drink, but I'm not at home and have a 31 mile, 1½-hour commute through DC Beltway traffic ahead of me

but "1.6 TB free of 1.8 TB" is a whole lot nicer than "5.0 GB free of 232 GB"

Oh come on. You're just not being a team player. Can't you just get on board with the rest of us.

 

[slym2none]

Repeating a situation and expecting different results is not insanity. That's stupidity.



Insanity is doing different tasks and getting the same result from each one.

 

[GrogNerd]

Spoke too soon

Went to turn off the computer and now it wants to install the 26 updates it didn't ask me if they could be installed in the first place

 

[brettwasbtd]

Went to ask my coworker ( the one always leaving early) a question on their status - producing the progress reports his the bane of my working existence - at 2:45 only to see they were gone for the day. I looked on the Microsoft lync messenger and it showed they had been away for an hour. They got in today at 830 smh

I am continually surprised at the lack of thinking all my coworkers execute on a daily basis

I hate dropping a chocolate log at work and someone comes in to take a leak or wait for the stall. then a martha floccer tries talking to you. unless you want me to give you direct contact pink & brown eyes, don't talk to me while I'm making playdough. I don't poop at work anymore because we can't lock the door.

 

[ColoHox]

I sail in early so that I can drop anchor on the clock!

Let's not get down in the weeds here. Can you just give us the aerial view?

 

[odorf]

I hate stupid questions.

like when you are eating a hamburger and some ****** asks if you are eating a hamburger.

I generally say something like "No, i am milking a cow." with a straight face

Or, "not today, did that yesterday"

here is a true story.
I was the foreman on a job, and I became friendly with the job superintendent.
we both transferred to another job, when that one was over.
I was sitting on my gang box at 6;45 when he walked by
I said. "good morning"
he said nothing,
I figured he did not hear me
next morning. same thing, I said "Good Morning"
he said nothing
3rd day
he walked by I said : "F____You!'
he turned around and said "what did you say?"
I said. "I said Good Morning!"

I woulda figured you had the berries to not be a nervous pooper. My views on you have been shattered.

That ain't nerves. A man should be allowed to **** in peace.

 

[iijakii]

Talking through the wall is pretty jacked, no doubt. But if you lock the door so I can't come take a piss, might have to just let it out on your car's doorhandle.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

flocc no. I'm pooping. leave me alone. which is why I don't poop at work anymore. every place I've worked has had a single person bathroom, until now. I don't even like flowing the golden waters because I have to smell the bouquet of muddy rose buds. call it what you like, but it don't make me scared. it makes me mad when people don't leave me alone while eliminating.

They always do that when I get my hair cut:

"Get a haircut?"
- "No."
"Really? I thought your hair was longer yesterday."
- "Nope."

 

[SupervisingChildren]

The staff bathroom where I work is in my shared office. The walls are also paper thin. Several times I've had a coworker talking to me while I'm taking a leak. Can't you hear me pissing? Just give me a minute!

 

[slym2none]

- "No."
"Really? I thought your hair was longer yesterday."
- "Nope."

Dad-joke time:

"Did you get a hair-cut?"

"No, I got all of 'em cut!"

---or---

If you have the person smart enough to make it a statement instead of a question:

"You got a hair-cut!"

"I did?!?!?" *pats head* "OMG, WHO DID THIS???"

 

[1977Brewer]

Dad-joke time:

This, but I say "Several, actually."

Because I only have several.
