STRAWBERRY LETTER Y'ALL

our carpet is garbage

the breaks are so inconsistent from day to day

I've been putting this same 20 footer for the last 6 months and I still can't find the right line on a regular basis

3/10/2009 9:28:14 AM

Motherfucker is slurping rice and chewing with his mouth wide open next to me. I can see particles of food falling out of his mouth

when people send an email and then "follow up" on the email with a call no less than 3 minutes later

3/22/2009 7:13:32 PM

^do you have a history of ignoring emails?

3/22/2009 7:18:23 PM

^didn't you get my email about that?

3/22/2009 7:55:21 PM

Its probably been said already, but thats the same people that send you an email, and if they are within walking distance of your office come over 3 minutes later and go "you read that email yet?"

Fuck those people.

3/22/2009 8:40:52 PM

Someone used the last of my coffee creamer. I can understand using some of it, but don't take the last bit of it on a Monday morning

3/23/2009 9:19:01 AM

A partner here always sends 3 year old joke videos

then sprints to my office like "hey check out that video I sent"

then lols uncontrollably while watching it again while I carlface

3/23/2009 10:07:44 AM

People that talk on the phone or to other people in their office as if they were across the building. I had about three of those people congregated next to me a month or so ago and I had to bail. Just like Pee-wee jumping off that train.

I decided to run a little experiment while I was gone. I could still hear the conversation about 60 feet away.

3/23/2009 11:46:19 AM

OMG REDNECK NEENJER!!!!!!!

3/23/2009 11:51:40 AM

after reading this thread, i am so glad i dont work in an office

but what annoys me:

- calling in to the office to get a hotel reservation and they dont book one (in fact, i do my own now, or call my wife to do it if im in heavy traffic)
- when you make an appointment with someone and they stay in their office for two hours then call up pissed within minutes of my leaving
- those fucks who go to expos and hand out bogus cards (they get yours, and telemarketers start calling.)
- the bitch back at the office who gets pissed off when you make a sale and tell her she has to stop playing solitare and finish the P.O. (which is her job)
- my personal favorite: someone who constantly brushed you off in college now needs your help and gets pissed when you brush them off (but it feels sooooo good)
- when i get to a hotel and they have no ice cause the damn truckers had to fill up their 50 gallon coolers
- WHEN I GET TO A HOTEL AND THE INTERNET DOESNT WORK

3/23/2009 10:30:41 PM

I hardly ever work in the office, but we just hired this business manager who has no experience in the business he is supposedly managing. Anyway, he constantly calls people "brotha" on the phone, and says shit like "cool beans" and "I'm livin and lovin life", and says "quick question..." even though you both know it's going to be a 10 minute long repreat of the same information he stated in the first 30 seconds. So fucking annoying.

3/23/2009 10:55:21 PM

people who come up to me, see that i'm busy, and then say, "oh, i see you're busy, but i've just got a quick question..."

people who move things out of my extra chair so that they can sit down to ask me a question.

people who take things from my desk without asking. if i'm not at my desk, come back later and ask me if i'm finished with it. if it's urgent, page me!

a particular co-worker (a 50+ gold-digging divorcee) that gets pissed off if you ask her to do her job, since it means she has to stop husband-shopping on match.com, eharmony.com, yahoo personals, etc.

people who use the last of the toilet paper and don't hang up a new roll

3/24/2009 9:49:15 AM

everytime i turn on the heater under my desk, the guy next to me says "whatcha got over there? a jet engine? hyuck hyuck"

this is the same guy who for a while would say "wow it's kinda early for that" everytime i'd open a soda can

not funny. ever.

3/24/2009 10:04:22 AM

A person here has sent out three emails on details for Dane Cook tickets since 8 o clock today

No one has replied

Because no one gives a fuck

3/24/2009 10:06:05 AM

i have two doors to my office, one goes to the hallway where the kitchen is and one goes to the warehouse. i hate it when people use the office as a hallway or a gathering and talking spot when i am trying to work.

people who do not realize that you can talk at a normal voice level when using a modern phone or cellphone

3/24/2009 10:36:03 AM

I'm beginning to loathe the term "touch base"

I just hear it so goddamn much

I say "check in", "see how you're doing", or "holller at"

I only use the last one if the situation allows

3/24/2009 10:39:01 AM

sending an email at 8am
awaiting response all day
receive an out of office message at 4:30pm.
profit


i have a feeling lotus notes is to blame.

3/24/2009 10:40:53 AM

indians that don't believe in deodorant that you have to sit beside on an airplane for 4 hours that sit indian-style in their seat barefooted while singing to themselves (although loudly) with their arms linked behind their heads ferris bueller style with their armpits open free to emit their stank towards me

3/24/2009 10:45:32 AM

^haha holy shit why would you put up with that, you've got to regulate a bullshit situation like that

3/24/2009 10:57:17 AM

oh fuck that

3/24/2009 10:59:26 AM

working with my coworker

3/24/2009 11:01:52 AM

People who don't get out of the way of the cocktail waitresses, despite being asked several times to keep the area clear for them. We get pushy then.

3/24/2009 11:05:55 AM

when I call a co-worker and tell them, "I need _________" and they respond with "No problem, I'll email that to you write now." and 2 hours later they still haven't sent it to me....

3/24/2009 2:12:50 PM

maybe it's because they're writing it instead...

3/24/2009 2:15:23 PM

it's something they supposedly wrote already...and tried to send to me. but when they tried to send the two files for "SS-01" they mistakenly sent one file for "SS-01" and one file for "SB-01". so i'm trying to get the missing "SS-01" file.

I use to do that in school all the time

If I was running behind on a paper deadline I would email the teacher whatever part I had finished and would cut it off on the end of a page, so it looked like it just ended abruptly in the middle of a sentence.

Then by the time they had emailed me back like "I think you only sent in part of your paper"

I would have finished the rest and been like "Oh sorry it must have got cut off when I pasted it"

Worked all 5-6 times I did it

3/24/2009 2:21:02 PM

Not enough free shit.

my number 1 workplace annoyance has got to be fucking door locks

3/25/2009 9:37:15 PM

Open to the public = nutjobs allowed

Worse yet, nutjobs with downies in tow. Who smell like human poop and cat pee (well, the adult did too), and ambush you with hugs

The kid was sweet and all, but the smell just lingered and lingered

3/27/2009 7:09:30 PM

The quantity of 'oops wrong number!' calls has skyrocketed lately, and a vast majority hear the greeting, and hang up without saying a word.

I have no idea why this irritates me so much

3/30/2009 10:47:36 AM

There are a lot of really petty annoyances in here.

3/30/2009 10:54:50 AM

My co-worker ate my first-born child.

That better?

3/30/2009 10:56:20 AM

Is she a dingo?

3/30/2009 11:06:05 AM

this is the 2nd week in a row my boss has asked me to make him a pb&j sandwich

wouldnt be so bad if it wasnt MY bread and MY peanut butter

3/30/2009 2:17:16 PM

But whose jelly is it?

3/31/2009 10:39:09 PM

When people shit in the middle stall, effectively taking all three out of commission.

3/31/2009 10:41:47 PM

Some guy just came by my cube talking about his friend who tans too much and how she has horrible skin. He said he thought I would find the story amusing since I "already have skin color".

4/2/2009 4:12:57 PM

This isn't annoying. I just overheard someone use the term 'excelente' on the phone. It's annoying that more people in my office don't say this.

This happens to me allll the time. And when I start to recognize the #s on caller ID that do this I just pick up and hang up on them. Then they change their numbers and call back again. It's really annoying

4/3/2009 9:38:24 AM

my job, in general, these days.

4/3/2009 3:27:12 PM

4/3/2009 3:35:16 PM

id slap the bitch who left the sink like that. i dont want to have to ask her twice

4/3/2009 3:41:07 PM

That's what I get to clean up when I go to work.

4/3/2009 3:55:45 PM

set up these sloppy hoes
