Oh Lord Yes!!!
Why is it that women who hover instead of sit don't clean up their sprays and dribbles on the toilet seat???
You know darn well that if a man did that to the toilet seat in their home, they'd have a royal conniption.
But leaving a mess in a public restroom for another woman is ok.
Not all of us can hover. Some of us have disabilities that make it necessary for us to sit.
Clean up your own messes on the toilet seats, helicopter women.
God bless.

when I worked in an office, it was those who didnt realize that fat should be covered and not pinched tight in tight clothes.
Yes they have brushes please use them, even in a call center please look presentable
the butthead who explodes his burrito in the microwave and wont clean it
AND the idiotic women who would fight over which soap or talk show to watch,
One day the remote when missing and it was stuck on the discovery channel, I really dont know what happened to the remote ( wink )

I use to work at an international company. We had several young women from India who didn't wash their hands, no matter how much they were counseled for it.
It was disgusting for us and was a company embarrassment because we weren't the only company that worked on that floor.
Yuck!!!
I know their custom is to eat with the right hand and clean themselves with the left hand, but at what point do your two hands not ever touch one another once leaving the restroom.
Yet we couldn't get that through to these young women.
Then they touch the copy machine, and the mail machine, and the printers.
Yuck! Yuck!
No wonder illnesses are so rampant in India.
God bless.

And my supervisor answers EVERY call on speaker phone. It is soooooo annoying and the first thing he tells them is I have you on speaker phone so dont say anything bad about anyone and then he laughs ....each and every time he says that.

Does no one in management talk to the Indians about their BO?
Of course, I know it would do little good. That part did help in our office, but we still couldn't get them to wash their hands after bathroom.
God bless.

the south asians don't wash their hands in india...why should they do it here? it's horrifying. I had one of the little ladies offer me some type of cookie she made, and I shuddered and said I was full from lunch.
No chocolate covered staph/biologicals for me. MMMkay?

I use a paper towel to open the door too, or my shirt sleeve or shirt hem if it's one of those dang blow dryers. (Hate those.)
God bless.

People who leave a project they own and go to another before they are done and before it fails because they incompetently handled it. Then get promoted.
People who are titled Project Managers when project managing is a subset of the skill set needed to do the job anyway. Basically, they bring nothing to the table.
People in IT that have technical responsibilities, but whose level of knowledge makes it difficult for them to even send emails.
"Managers" with no direct reports.
Cubicles.
Attractive women it IT. If they are attractive, odds are they don't know squat and if you point it out to them, their boss gets nervous.
"Individual contributors". They just go around saying things like "Clouds are the way to go.", "When we get our cloud, here's what we need to do.". They are usually the same ones in the 90's that said Object Oriented Programming will save lots of money, so invest in training your programmers in OO languages.

We did too, and we even complained to the boss, corporate HR, etc. They were counseled. We put signs on the bathroom doors. They just wouldn't do it. Eventually they went back to India - don't know if it was because of the harrassment or if it was time for them to submit to an arranged marriage.
And our neighbors in the building thought terrible things about us because of these few girls.
God bless.

1. bathroom "shrapnel" left on the seat or in the commode...clean it up!!!
2. those who insist on talking on their cell phones and get mad when we pass them up for assistance until they hang up. We will not help you w/your financial issues until you stop talking on the phone. How many signs do we have to hang up??
3. Please take a bath!!! Really, soap is nothing to be afraid of.
4. If you want to smoke, please walk away from the doors. I don't want to smell it. If you do smoke, please do not be offended when I have to ask someone else to help you b/c you reek and i can't breathe. I'm not trying to take away your ciggs, but I don't have to put up w/the nasty stank either.
5. Clean up the office kitchen. Your momma doesn't work here!!!
6. How about closing a cabinet door...your momma still doesn't work here.
7. Whats that noise?? Oh snap, the phone. If you pick up the receiver it stops making the noise. How about giving it a try.

Even young "lucys" need that.
We call them Janes. You know like the bathroom is sometimes called the John. So we called the ladies room the Jane.
God bless.

Have you ever considered taping her and turning it over to your boss?

Also, a lot of them cook their "ethnic" foods (Chinese, Indian) in the microwave. It smells like Vietnam being blown up in 1969. Oops, was that racially insenstive. Sorry.

Honestly, I have never heard anyone say that.
I can't stand the ones who smile in your face and then talk chit when you're not around.

This isn't a political blog, but you know where that comes from right?
It was on the political signs of some of the people who supported him.
Not that that's his fault.

THE ONLY really thing that happened at work that really bothered me was a week after 9/11 this black guy we worked with stopped talking to us, we couldnt figure it out and finally someone asked what his problem was.
He said he was a muslim and one of the elders in his church said that he shouldn't be talking or associating with anyone who wasnt a muslim
NOW this guy is american born and everything. He basically acted like he was the only one there, it hurt cause he was a really nice guy. I didnt stop saying hi to him but he would never say anything back

Actually that is a very good idea. I might have to try that.

LMAO - better than having seafood cooked on a regular basis. That's just nasty. I'd take Vietnam over Captain D's any day!
