poetically-correct - "I need to set up a hidden camera. They are driving me insane!!!"

We did that once.

It was the cleaning people.

God bless.

RB

memered52 - "I am a receptionist and people come to my desk and talk on there cell phones. It drives me NUTS!"

Remember - they're being rude to you by doing this, so for you to stand up, look them in the face and say "Excuse me, I'm trying to work here." would be ok.

God bless.

RB

CC - "You havent seem one!!"

It's been a longgg time...but a happy one. ;o)

God bless.

RB

Those that bring in so much junk to put into the office fridge that there is almost no room for anyone else to put their lunch in.

I swear it is as if some people go grocery shopping before they come in every other day. Bring what you plan on eating THAT day and leave the rest at home for tomorrow. I mean why does there need to be 2-3 gallons of half and half in the fridge at all times?

"People actually DO that? -Angela"

Oh yeah! Boggles the mind.

Have even heard them doing that in the restrooms in department stores, Kohls, etc.

God bless.

RB

1 of the original Americans - "By the way we have and opening... any interest? lol"

I would, but I don't want to work with them.

Where the devil is management that they let them get away with this???

God bless.

RB

cartman - "I've also had someone come looking for me in the restroom, then carry on a business conversation while I was 'occupied'. I mean really, is it that imporatant it can't wait 5 minutes."

Have you told them, "Uhhh, excuse me. I'm a little busy here and need some private time."

I sure would.

God bless.

RB

"Those that bring in so much junk to put into the office fridge that there is almost no room for anyone else to put their lunch in." -eternalrage83

No kidding, a woman here will do her grocery shopping during her lunch break and put all her refrigerated bags in the fridge and nobody else has space for a thing!

The guys that do the walk-around pharts and thinks no one knows where they're coming from

Where the devil is management that they let them get away with this???

I have been asking this question for years!!! Oh lets not talk about the "mean girls" clique here.

Speakerphone conversations... If someone has me on speakerphone just cuz that's how they do things... I'll say, "can you pick up, I've got something to tell ya"... so they think something juicy is coming. Then I say "oh, good... now I can hear ya better" hehehehe

People who smack their lips while eating in the break room annoys the pizz out of me and the ones who have their headphones on with the ipod but you can still hear the dayum music!

"Did you see the comment about talking on the cell phone while in the restroom? People actually DO that? -Angela"

Unfortunately, yes! It is so disgusting. I don't want my "business" broadcast to other people's friends and family. It never fails...in our building, the restroom has five stalls. You can be in the end stall with all others being empty and cell phone person will and take the stall RIGHT NEXT TO YOU and chat away like there's nothing out of the ordinary!!

CricketGayle: You need to create a GOLO profile and bog about some of the craziness happening at your job. You'd have a readership rather quickly. And yes, that is disgusting. You have a great day, and stay away from the restrooms. LOL. -Angela

I sure did need a good laugh today and boy has this blog provided it... I haven't worked in an office in 15 years and now when I think I need to go out of the house, I am going to THINK AGAIN! Thanks ya'll!

Being bored at work being not real busy and having to result to interaction with you pervs of GoLo for entertainment.

" What really irks you at work?"

When somebody interrupts me while I'm playing on Golo......I could just japsmack'em!!!

The fact that people can not read an email thread to save their lives, A email thread is a continuous conversation which starts at the bottom and progresss upward to the curent response, I continue to provide answers to their questions in the bottom only to have them come back and ask the question again, idiots

Incompetence.

(1)incompetence

(2)suffering from another person's incompetence

(3)being blamed for another person's incompetence

(4)being yelled at by an unprofessional hr director because of another person's incompetence

1-4 describes my last two days at work. i have been yelled at repeatedly for something that i was in no way whatsoever associated with. have any of you ever had to go to hr about hr? that's not fun. normally, i wouldn't care about any of this. i would just laugh it off and tell the hr lady where she can go. but, i am in the process of trying to land a very sizable promotion with this company, and i can't exactly tell her how i really feel at this point in time. just wait though, the opportunity will arise, and i will seize that opportunity like horace carped the diem.

in other words...

the wheels on the bus go round and round

round and round

when youre not looking ill throw you down

throw you down

youll land under that bus with a big ole frown

big ole frown

and ill make you out to be a clown

be a clown

so get offa my back you freakin hack

freakin hack.

there...that was my rhyme for the day.

:)

"Timbo - I happen to like my cubicle. I would love it even more if they gave me a window..LOL" -colleen

You wouldn't if you ever had an office with a thick wooden door and a big window. Cubicles are temporary help.

Rev, you need a job.

As a Probation Officer my co-workers and I are already under the microscope...so why would you go into a court of law and act like a stupid idiot. My co-workers go into the courtroom with unorganized files and they can't answer the simplest question about an offender. I mean...hello aren't you supervising this person and you have to search the file to find out what they are on probation for! IDIOTS!

People who hide behind their religion when they are spreading rumors about you. Claiming to be a Christian and yet they continue to talk trash about you and everyone around you.

One thing that used to annoy me at work, smelling people who complain and moan about how my lunch smells. Well, go get in your car and kill yourself with McD's, maybe that smells to your liking. I know how to cook.

Another thing that used to annoy me is idiots who come to work sick and get ME sick.

People who burn popcorn in the microwave. You can't get rid of that smell for days

Employees that call in sick once a week and then come up to me complaining about not getting enough hours or wanting a raise.

I enjoy my workplace 95% of the time, and I like a large majority of my co-workers. However, we have one who is so negative that I can't stand to be in the same room after 10 minutes. She doesn't vent and go on -- just moans and moans.

I've developed a pretty thick skin at work over the years...

Lies still set me of quick still...real quick.

The people that have taken it upon themselves to bring me to god...and make my life miserable until I do. It's actually to the point I am starting to get a good chuckle out of that though. You should see some of the stuff I get in the mail =P

Ever notice how the laziettes love to use their cell phone ALL the time while on the clock. Or dodge work. Or stand around anf talk. If I only have power...

Hearing Mr. Married Loverboy on the phone detailing all of his marriage problems and pledging his undying love to his girlfriend....loudly.

Other employees who use MY computer to do their websurfing and leaving crumbs and water bottles on my desk....especially when they are surfing on Craigslist, Triangle Cupid, Ebay, etc. I am not taking the blame for that!

It also irks me when my co-worker uses the printers in my office to print out paperwork and lets the tray sit empty of paper for two days in the midst of a print job or runs the color printer out of the ink and waits for me to replace the cartridge. It is a network printer! Just because it is near my desk does not mean I am the IT go to person! I am not even IT!

There is a man here that is on nitrogen pills. The side effect is a runny nose. Runny is put LIGHTLY! Some days the snot will be all the way to his top lip and it is DISGUSTING!!! Doesn't he feel it?? WTH?? Get a snot rag man...nasty~~~~~

my list could go on and on and on.. lol. my recent one... with the atm here, if it anit working, don't ask me why, i don't have bb&t written on my head!

people that talk on their cell phones while i'm trying to provide service for them... i have a sign up that says "we will gladly help the next person in line if you are on your cell phone"... I've had customer get ticked off at me bc i move to the next window and start helping other people behind them. I said, if you would discont. your soo important call i would help you, until then i'm helping people that answer my questions. but i say it in a nice way.

BooMylar- I agree with the cell phone thing! If I am working the register and someone is on a cell phone I will either talk very loudly and a lot to them so they are forced to talk to me or I will move on to the next person.

What irks me is the comments people make! Like, "I am not paying this much for this" or "It's cheaper at the competitor" or "You guys need to do such and such". Do people think we are immediately going to change the price for something or take action to make them happy like that? Or do they think we will immediately contact corporate office to make a change on what they are complaining about? It's like people think we spend our lives at the job. Why can't people just keep comments to themselves?

Hulk no like it when puny co-workers pee on toilet and no clean it up!

I work at a bank and I LOVE it (not really) when they say they want to make a withdrawl, and then they emphasize on the CASH part. Like "i'd like to take out $50....IN CASH". oooohhhhh nope sorry, we only have Skittles today. =] Unless you tell me you want an official check, I'm going to safely assume you're already wanting the cash

Or when they just walk on up to the counter when I haven't called them....I'll send ya right back to wait in line until I call you. There's a reason we call you when we're ready...we might havea large amount of cash in our handa that we're sorting out or counting or I might be finishing a transaction for an MSR... Just be patient and I promisse we will get to you. If you're on your phone, I'm not helping you until you hang up, we have a lobby if you need to be on the phone, so get out of line and go in there.....whew this makes me feel good =]

People who cook stinky things in the microwave? Loud talkers? Cell phones ringing? People hacking out a lung and sneezing? Your internet connection goes down and you can't GOLO?

All of the above plus people with stinky breath!

I work at the RBC center. Beer costs $7.00. People will say, "I can buy a whole six pack for that at the Food Lion". My normal response is "do they also have a live sporting event in isle 5?" or, "you should go and buy one and you can watch the game from home".

People who ignore the "Do Not Disturb" sign on my door and walk in and start talking, in spite of the fact that I am obviously trying to concentrate on something that requires mu full attention. Often their "can't wait" items are such things as, "A fax came for you," or "Did you get a chance to read the e-mail I sent you?" Important stuff.

And no, I don't Golo from work.

"I work at the RBC center. Beer costs $7.00. People will say, "I can buy a whole six pack for that at the Food Lion". My normal response is "do they also have a live sporting event in isle 5?" or, "you should go and buy one and you can watch the game from home"."

I will and I do, I aint paying 7 dollars for ANY beverage.

everything boo said and yes it does say BB&T on her forehead.

Anybody have any good ideas how I can tactfully get the 40-year-old man in the cubicle next to me to quit his disquisting, rude, and annoying gum-chewing behavior? Unless he is eating, he's constantly chewing large wads of gum and smacking it loudly. When I have a conversation with him, he's got that big juicy wad of pink saliva rolling around as a centerpiece for his mouth. It's enough to turn your stomach.

Whoever decided that cubicles are efficient workspace solutions ought to have their head examined. If supervisors need an open environment to ensure people are doing their job then the supervisors are clueless and aren't doing their job. My efficient would increase, and my blood pressure would decrease, significantly if I didn't have to deal with all the distractions in the cubicles around me.

Glad I have a personal fridge to store my food!!

Things that annoy me: Incompetent supervisors (plenty here) People who sit in the stall next to me when there are plenty of empty stalls People who talk loudly on personal calls...take it outside! People who refuse to knock before entering my office People who want to ask work related questions on my lunch break...don't you see me eating!

Petty people who have nothing better to do than tattle. What are we in kindergarten!!!! You mind yours and I'll mind mine. We are there for the same reason....BILLS!
