lack of bathroom etiquette

1. when there are 3 stalls and only stall 1 is occupied - DO NOT CHOOSE STALL 2!!!!!!
2. when i go into the stall and close the door, it means NO TALKING!! i do not like having a conversation while i do my business
3. courtesy flush

my boss breaks all of these rules on a regular basis

I did half of a project and a co-worker did the other half, and at the beginning I went to him and said, "I was thinking we should arrange it like ____. Does that sound like it would work for you?" And he said it would.

But that's not the way he did it at all

DUDE

If the form is trying to open on multiple computers in a different language, then it's a problem with the form and not the intranet.

If you buy a book written in Spanish are you going to call the publisher to complain?

Do I look like I need more drama right now? There are three or four ladies who absorb gossip like a sponge and spew it where necessary. We all know who they are, and I am not one of them.

The movers broke the plate glass top on my desk.

Presumably they're responsible for replacing it, but it's going to be a gigantic pain moving all my computer equipment when they do come to replace it. The irony of all this is that the desk in question is probably 40 years old or so, and the finish is all beat to hell, except for the top that was under glass...but hey, they broke it, they're fixing it. Not my dime.

our secretary once sent out an email to the whole office about something, but forgot to attach her little "signature" at the bottom.

so a minute later we get the same email, and it says "Sorry I forgot to attach my signature to the last email, just want to make sure you know who sent it."

Hearing-deficient coworkers who probably don't know this.

It dawned on me the other day: this otherwise socially normal chick yells all the damn time. EVERY. SINGLE. INTERACTION. Normal conversation...outside voice.

I don't know why it clicked, but it did. Now she annoys me a little less

Not being able to control the temperature in my office; the only thermostat in our wing controls all 9 offices on our floor. It's too cold in the main body of the building, and too hot in the south wing.

I get calls from some kinda online pharmacy shit on a weekly basis for the girl who had my number last. She hasn't worked here in almost 4 years yet for some reason, they keep fucking calling. And everytime they call I tell them to stop calling and they never fucking stop.

This was happening so frequently with the person before me... I found his number and email address and give it out when they call for him now, he hasn't been here for three years.

HR people who have nothing better to than keep changing the damn "mandatory" signatures in outlook.

no one in engineering really gives a shit, if we wanna see who sent the email, we'll check the "From:" dialogue.
