no one wants to see your hundreds of photos of trout and bass you caught on your week long fishing trip, old man

This seriously just happened in my meeting. Fucking retarded.

if it was up to me, our hold music would be an endless loop of canyon.mid

8/27/2012 11:48:02 AM

Someone I used to call had smooth jazz as theirs. I was always a fan. Classical isn't bad either, just something instrumental.

The receiving side of the door latch curves around the edge of the doorway and is right at waist level for me. This means that frequently when I open doors on campus the loop catches on the little piece of metal. Today it tore one of my belt loops in half.

8/27/2012 12:43:40 PM

Who doesn't lock the door in a public bathroom? Apparently come of my co-workers. WTF?

8/27/2012 12:52:01 PM

^^^I'd be happy with hold music that doesn't sound like it's been processed through an NES and then played through a blown-out speaker. The problem, I assure you, does not lie on my end.

- coworker who insists on telling me he think's the new supplement he's taking is making him bigger. Don't care. Then starts asking me wonder if it's going to have any negative side effects (I don't work out)... [shrugs].... then 5mins worth of his jabbering some validation for it to me while i sit and stare at him.

lol people do this in my building all the time. You'd think they'd learn at some point.

Last time I went to the restroom one guy was having a convo with another guy in the doorway. I mean, he was literally standing there with his hand holding the doorway half open. I can't tell if he was just retarded and started entering in mid convo or trying to subtly tell his coworker to stfu and come back later.

8/27/2012 2:05:47 PM

People who use terms incorrectly in an attempt to sound smarter than they actually are. I lent my laptop to a coworker while his is down, he tells me "I have your cpu at home". Really? just the CPU? Did you bring the rest of the laptop back today?

This went over about as well as I thought it would with the customers . Fortunately I know what the hell I am talking about and was able to answer their other concerns.

we had a BIG-wig internal inspector-type guy walking through the other week. He doesn't like the fans we use in one of our processing rooms (nickel plating, acid in tanks, corrosion everywhere, etc) so the operators had to leave them off that day. Usually they sit in the room itself but had to sit on rolling chairs in the hallway looking through the big glass, haha. It wasn't so much a safety issue (we have air scrubbers); it was a heat issue. Constant fresh air ("make up air") = no a/c.

The operators and their team leader were griping all day about hiding the fact vs doing something about it

ha i love it when they call a computer a "hard drive"

8/27/2012 8:57:28 PM

Fuckin' officemate's phone has been buzzing every few minutes all day. Annoying as shit

8/28/2012 10:39:16 AM

The cashier in the cafe rang up the woman in front of me before she counted out exact change. The woman then wanted to exchange her change for a dollar, but she didn't want to use big change like quarters, she kept digging through her change purse for smaller change like nickels and dimes while simultaneously commenting on how she was holding up the line.

8/28/2012 10:45:48 AM

Loudest motherfucker in the office is on speaker with tech support

Got that old man voice where he's always yelling

8/28/2012 11:47:55 AM

I like to print out the funny stuff (SFW!) I find in the "Best Thing You've Seen on the Internet" Thread and post it on my office door. Over 95% of the time, people around here do not understand them. The other day I had to explain what "friend zone" meant.

8/28/2012 11:51:13 AM

Clerk says "glinch" instead of "glitch".

8/29/2012 9:41:09 AM

I usually go to the bathroom at 8:30 every morning. And every morning there's some chick in there brushing her teeth, curling her hair, washing her face, etc. It's really weird. But the annoying part is not only does she spread out all her shit so it's taking up the counterspace of all four sinks, she gives whoever walks in a dirty look like we've just walked into her house to watch her get ready for the morning.

8/29/2012 9:47:41 AM

Does she go to the gym before work or something? That's the only reason I could understand doing that. Or maybe just not being a morning person and having trouble getting up in time. On non-gym days I sometimes end up doing my makeup at work because I'm running late

8/29/2012 9:49:31 AM

She doesn't look like the type to go to the gym But even if she was, wouldn't you do all of that in the gym locker room? The locker room we have for the gym here is a lot nicer for getting ready than the crappy bathroom in our office.

8/29/2012 9:51:47 AM

Yeah, but I was thinking if she goes and then doesn't have time to do all that and still get to work on time, that could be why.

8/29/2012 9:53:44 AM

True but that doesn't mean she has to hog all the sinks and get pissy with other people wanting to use the bathroom. I need to wash my damn hands, lady who doesn't manage her time well

8/29/2012 10:02:51 AM

Maybe soon you will suddenly lose your ability to keep water in the sink and splash water all over her stuff.

8/29/2012 10:06:52 AM

ahaha it wouldn't surprise me if people have done that to her before with how passive aggressive some of the women in this office are.

8/29/2012 10:10:49 AM

Sometimes I think the only reason that I'm in a position of power is because I can write English real good like.

8/29/2012 10:19:54 AM

these motherfucking vendors just brought 4 3 packs of dove ice cream bars in a cooler

for a meeting with me and one other dude

IM ANNOYED BY SUCH DELICIOUSNESS

8/29/2012 12:43:02 PM

Coworkers who are too busy to take their fair share of the work, but have multiple postings on the listserv throughout the course of the day. Does she think we don't notice?

8/30/2012 5:04:07 PM

I'm talking to someone at work about how fucking retarded part of our code base is, and this bitch comes walking through us and as she does, I say the word "retarded". She stops, scowls, gives me this crazy look, and says "oh, we don't say that word here". What. The. Fuck. Not two rows away, there's guys that talk, very loudly, about how they fuck their wives, and that sexually harass the piss out of their female coworkers, and you think two people, talking, softly, about something, in a conversation you weren't even remotely a party to, is where you need to draw the line?

8/30/2012 10:05:27 PM

Same thing happened when I worked for the university years ago.
Bitch tried to get my fired and my boss just kind of scoffed at her.

8/31/2012 10:54:01 AM

that's retarded.

8/31/2012 10:55:31 AM

Squirm, squirm, squirm!

How annoying. I need to move.

8/31/2012 11:33:29 AM

the guy in the cube behind me cutting his nails

8/31/2012 11:43:07 AM

real men bite their nails.

8/31/2012 12:10:42 PM

I've been sitting here for 20 min next to the squirmer. I kept count, and he has squirmed in his chair 18 times in the past 20 min.

That's almost 1 x every minute.

8/31/2012 12:22:30 PM

what constitutes a "squirm?"

8/31/2012 12:31:54 PM

Side to side

forward and back

adjusting his pant near crotch area

fuckin ants all over my desk

9/4/2012 7:15:43 AM

Air conditioning is out in one of the other buildings. if it were out in my building i would be annoyed.

9/4/2012 9:27:47 AM

bought the wrong god-damned type of keurig cups for the machine. why the fuck would they even make a different keurig machine that used different cups? drinking a fucking leftover de-caf cup of coffee. disgusting.

9/4/2012 10:50:30 AM

another unnecessary fire drill...or someone in the cafeteria set fire to the grill while cleaning it (again)

i'm just gonna go to lunch and come back in 2 hours

9/4/2012 10:53:14 AM

^^Are you sure they're Keurig? I've seen another cup-style coffee maker that wasn't. That would explain the "different" Keurig cups.

9/4/2012 11:21:50 AM

Keurig is on the cup, but I think they're cups for some new-fangled "Vue" keurig maker.

It's this fucking bullshit




Old cups won't work on the new system and new cups won't work on the old system. I can't imagine I'll be able to return these to Bed Bath and Beyond (already opened box...no cups used of course).

[Edited on September 4, 2012 at 11:29 AM. Reason : .]

9/4/2012 11:27:03 AM

Ahh yes, the Vue. A bigger cup for a bigger, fatter American. Now available in double mochachino with extra whip cream.
