People who halfcup the coffee.

People who don't refill the printer.

People who can't be bothered to even put a whole ream in the printer.

People who constantly complain that the bathroom smells like ass... well duh, its a bathroom, not a rose garden! I suppose these people think their shits smell like a Abercrombie and Fitch store.

6/6/2010 2:15:35 AM

I'm a bit annoyed that the security guard pisses all over the seat in the bathroom. We're sure its him - the cleaning crew leaves and none of us go in there until later. There's a urinal, no need to piss on the seat in the stall.

people who use rotating desk fans, i can't stand that sound!

every coworker that sits in a cub near me clips their nails and it seems to echo....

is that not strange?

6/11/2010 11:37:04 AM

i dunno, my gf freaks out about cutting fingernails for some reason

6/11/2010 11:39:01 AM

fingernail clippings are gross

fingernail clippings found anywhere but in the bathroom are uber mega gross

The client that I was mainly working on decided to hire someone in house (instead of having just consultants). The woman that I was working with also got offered a full time, non consultant position at another company. Both of those things happened within about a week of each other, so I am no longer consulting with her.

I do still have one contract that I'm keeping that covers rent until I find something new.

No - but getting fired is.

6/14/2010 1:14:23 PM

6/14/2010 1:17:14 PM

6/14/2010 1:24:20 PM

haha okay

so glad that you know what happened better than me

6/14/2010 1:27:39 PM

everyone in this thread complains on workplace annoyances - look at your posts - you were posting about your failures to preform.

I hope you find a new job soon.

6/14/2010 1:32:20 PM

Me: I need you to correct these effective dates. They aren't accurate. I have proof of the correct dates right here.
Guy: Sure, no problem.
Me: Ok the first date should be 6-11-10.
Guy: So all three dates should be 6-11-10?
Me: No, just the first one. The second one should be--
Guy: (interrupting me) Wait, wait, hold on!! Let me just do these one at a time!
Me: Ok. Just wanted you to know the second date is different, so don't change that one yet.
Guy: Ok, how's that? (showing me the paper, which has all three dates changed to 6-11-10)
Me: The first and third are right, but the second is not.
Guy: Ugh...well, why didn't you tell me that one wasn't the same?

typo smack - epic.

6/14/2010 7:32:29 PM

Since work=home now, this counts.

I was washing dishes in the bathhouse, and the sink clogged. I figure I'm to blame, and set to clear it.

The clog was caused by a fucking hair elastic, which had a nest of caught hair, and then coins, too.

WTF people!?

6/18/2010 1:13:21 PM

guy just came into buy a CD he special ordered

the retail price was $13.99, so $15.07 after tax. the guy freaks out on me because charging him the tax is "bullshit" and he's a "good fucking customer." he handed me $15 and I put it in the register and he was like "you're not gonna give me any change? that's bullshit man. fucking bullshit" and walks out

6/19/2010 10:40:04 AM

^seriously???

WTF people

6/19/2010 10:42:42 AM

yea, seriously WTF. who still buys CDs

6/19/2010 10:48:46 AM

^LOL

6/19/2010 10:50:04 AM

lol... this guy is a self-proclaimed Rastafarian and one of the most bitter dudes I've ever met. grew up in Jamaica and then New York so for some reason he thinks he's better than everyone else. right when he walked I said "hey what's up man" and he replied "the sky, man, what kind of question is that"

6/19/2010 10:52:19 AM

that dude would be getting pranked, for serious.

Someone in my office clips theirs while they sit on the crapper, and then push them into a little pile up against the stall post. The janitor never sees them (I don't blame him) and they sit there until someone (me) pushes them out into the open. And they're huge, like big toe clippings.

Head bossman calling me out for having my sideburns 3/8" too long (especially since I work inside the operation and rarely ever see any customers)

7/23/2010 4:09:53 PM

You should collect the shaven hair from your sideburns, put it in a bag and present it to him

7/23/2010 4:14:50 PM

You have regulations on sideburn length? Unless you're in the military, that's kind of ludicrous.

7/23/2010 4:23:56 PM

I agree

7/23/2010 4:27:39 PM

The other day we were riding back from getting lunch in the car together. We were going through the middle of the parking lot when the woman seated next to me said "Hi car! I like to wave to my car as we pass it."

7/23/2010 6:22:27 PM

Make it your goal to crush her spirit.

7/23/2010 6:27:31 PM

small talk

7/23/2010 9:01:47 PM

There is this dude at work who is very socially awkward (have no idea how he got the job) and was raised very religiously, really just an overall weeny. Anyways, you can be having a conversation with someone or be working diligently, and he will all of a sudden just pop up out of nowhere and talk to you. Very creepy guy too.

One day I was bored looking at facebook and noticed that he had a blog (he has many other people he is friends with on facebook from work). So me being the type that is amused by his shortcomings, I decided to click on it.

The first post:

"I'm a Christian male, but I get horny. Am I alone in this? Is this wrong? Is there a way to make it stop?"

Then a couple of postings down:

Just got a call from Dell reminding me to return the failed part on a warranty replacement. It's slightly annoying that they had the need to remind me after only three days, but after going through the slightly lengthy message, the repeated the ENTIRE DAMN MESSAGE again in Spanish. My voicemail system doesn't allow you to delete or save a message until the entire thing has finished, so I had to sit through the entire thing. (Yes, there's probably a message skip key. I've never had to bother to learn what it is though and I don't have a fucking voicemail manual.)

Really? Was that necessary? Waste of my time. I try not to let bilingual systems annoy me since I don't want to sound like a xenophobe, but that was just a bit much.

My new boss emails me to do something instead of just telling me when I'm exactly 4ft away, separated by a wall and an open door. Such a weirdo.

8/16/2010 5:12:35 PM

Sales guy handing off the customer to me (project engineer) to handle non engineering related issues, such as going after said customer to collect on unpaid progress payment invoices

proof you were told in case you forget later on

covering his ass

8/16/2010 9:23:13 PM

Yeah, you must have issues with forgetting to do stuff.....he probably told you once to do something and you forgot....even if it was just once, you reputation is now that you are lazy and/or forgetful and he is trying to document you so he can fire you soon......

8/16/2010 10:02:27 PM
