My department can be a nanny state sometimes, especially when the women supervisors are on the warpath

Seriously, old women, take a god-damned chill pill. We're here to make some cool shit, not to nit pick how so-and-so keeps his phone in his pocket when there's a no phone usage policy

This is why my operators love me and yours hate u, kthx

Dude has a responsibility to schedule a task we do 20 times per year on various equipment. We split these up so we get 4 or 5 each. He is incapable of scheduling the activity and requesting samples without any drama. Sample time comes, he's no where to be found, i put the fires out and get shit done. He was so ill prepared it wasnt even funny. then he blames everyone else for being stupid and not comprehending when he gets in 5 hours late.

3/28/2014 7:18:40 PM

My boss says shit like "yeah go ahead and put that in the round file" (meaning trash can). It bugs the shit out of me. First time I heard it I had no clue he meant trash can. Just fucking say trash can...

3/29/2014 11:04:52 AM

Damn that would irk me.

3/30/2014 1:43:12 PM

I really think he says stuff like that because he thinks it's "office lingo" and that it's somehow cool.

3/30/2014 5:32:44 PM

I have a coworker who dips snuff, and repeatedly asks me if its ok to spit in my trash can - and if I'm not going to need to dig through it later (I'm fine with the spitting, but it's called 'trash' for a reason).


I came to post that I will not entertain someone trying to make a sales call on me when they are talking so fast I cannot understand a single word after "Hello".

3/31/2014 1:44:36 PM

Said person in my post a few posts up fucked up another project, just on resource coordination, because he didn't want to do something himself. Adding up the man hours and wages it took to fix everything, and equipment time lost, his laziness cost us over ten grand, easy. For something that would be avoided if he just did something himself.

get him a can of Snus. You don't have to spit with it.

4/3/2014 11:39:55 PM

well, like I said, the tobacco thing is a non issue - just spit in the trash and be done with it.

the guy that I work with now is completely careless with smelly chemicals. I have told him several times to keep smelly shit in the fume hood, bag it up when you are done and dispose of it. Yesterday I came into work, and there sat his smelly extract that he left out over night and as soon as I opened the door I caught a good strong wiff of it. What a great way to start me morning.

I should be over it now, but honestly, it throws me off when I'm in the middle of a presentation and a woman whips out a titty to feed the kid she has with her. That is the worst of my non-farm-animal-related annoyances.

4/4/2014 7:37:20 PM

You've clearly never seen an African titty. Gravity and repeated childbirths and no bras...these conspire to do terrible things. I loves tits. I am a tit man. I would not suck most of these tits if you paid me.

what the shit

4/8/2014 9:16:48 AM

well at least you now know that you're that guy. Did you slip and start talking about your 9/11 conspiracy theories at work?

We have a guy here who does this constantly so can't blame him for being nice enough to ask.

4/8/2014 10:11:14 AM

I think it's pretty gross that he spits in other people's trash cans. That stuff stinks. But yeah, at least he asks.

4/8/2014 10:14:52 AM

^beh, it's trash. My banana peels smell worse than any tobacco juice slobber

4/8/2014 10:20:25 AM

there is some old douchebag down the hall from me that leaves his office door open, puts his phone on speaker, and has loud/obnoxious conversations where he literally cackles. i think he has tenure, so i'm scared to say anything

4/8/2014 11:20:10 AM

Stay late, take his phone apart, and remove the contact between the speakerphone button and the PCB.

4/8/2014 11:20:52 AM

We had a banana peel in trash guy, asshole brought fruit flies into the office that took 3 weeks to go away. I'd rather have tobacco juice than bananas and fruit flies.

4/8/2014 11:24:56 AM

^^^ we have a guy that makes every call on speaker. There are 4 of us within 50 feet of each other separated by just dividers. What's worse is he'll buzz all of said people on speaker as well (refusing to message, email, or just get the hell up and walk over). Gotta love conversations reverberating through the office.

4/8/2014 11:32:25 AM

I have to toss my nanner peel in the 'communal' trash can about 40 feet from me, no way in hell I toss that shit in my cube can.

also, I've even quit spitting gum in my can because old gum smells pretty bad too

4/8/2014 11:40:30 AM

a few years back I was on a team with a guy who was pretty obese. He was like 6'5" and about 380. He got that lapband surgery that made his stomach smaller so he'd be full on less food.

Well, the mental part of that didn't really work on him. He'd eat until he filled his [smaller] stomach, and then eat some more, causing a shitload of reflux.

While walking down a cube row, de'd often have some reflux, stop and then puke a little bit in whichever trash can was closest to him. The most disgusting thing i've ever seen. I decided I no longer needed a trashcan in my cube.

One of my co-workers decided to go vegan a couple weeks ago. Now every day he starts long conversations about how much better it is for you, how much better he feels, and the Mr. Nutrition bit has gotten insufferable pretty quickly. Enough already!

Plus now he seems to have appointed himself the soda police. If he sees anyone drinking one he'll walk up and start talking about how bad it is for you. he's succeeded in making me stop drinking them at work because I don't want the lecture.

Seriously? Seems pretty weak-willed of you, unless you secretly wanted to stop drinking soda anyway...

(and really, you probably should)

I drink a 12oz can of soda on most days, but limit it to that. It's like my dessert after lunch. Then I guzzle water the rest of the afternoon.

It's bad news when oblivious people become health nuts.

Dude at work got on me for drinking soda and for it being caffeine-free. Apparently, soda is bad for you, but caffeine is not, so I'm a total dummy.

I didn't bother to tell him that I drink so much Diet Coke that I keep both the caffeinated and caffeine-free varieties on hand.
