    There are women in my company that stand on the toilet seat, leaving shoe prints. I'm not sure why they would do his but it is irritating to me!

    What are the things your coworkers do that are weird?

    You must work in a pretty diverse work setting? On the plus side youll be relieved to know your coworkers are pooping the correct way by squatting vs sitting

    I'm so glad I'm holed up in my own office away from the rest of my coworkers.

    It is hell! I'm here to do my job, not be micromanaged on my bathroom habits. Jeez! Luckily my interview at another place went well today and maybe I won't have to be here much longer!
    Good luck with the new job. But sorry to say that if it's in an office, you're just going from the frying pan into the fire. All offices have their weirdos!

    Stereo type and racist to say the least.

    It's actually a cultural thing, racist would be that they can't drive, you would think since they are so good at math they could understand trajectories of the vehicles in their control.

    Co worker pet peeve: Cutting donuts in half and leaving the other half. Nobody wants something that you rubbed your filthy f&*#!$#ing hands all over and is now stale. Eat the whole thing or none at all....man, I just felt my blood pressure go up.

    I'm grateful for those people. Maybe I'm disgusting.

    That's why I'm happy I'm in charge of my department. We watch movies while we work, eat anytime / whatever we want at our desks, clean up after ourselves, and even sometimes drink on Fridays :tongue:

    @OneHundredToLose Sounds like an awesome place to work!

    I figure we all have to be here 8+ hours a day, might as well enjoy it. I don't want to work at a place where I can't take my shoes off.

    I don't really care if they standing on the toilet. I care that they leave it a mess. Clean off your shoe prints.

    I used to work reception desk, which is near the restrooms. I can hear who does and does not wash their hands. And then proceed to come swipe candy from my candy basket.....I shamed a couple of them by blasting them to the others. People asked why I quit refilling the candy? Oh because Shane never washes his hands before he gets a jolly rancher. Dirty ba$tards.

    Uh really? How do you figure?
    See above for the explanation on this.

    Asia is much bigger than that explanation from Beijing and China. May be travel around the world instead of cut and paste from Internet. You don't know if it was done by asians or not. I am not even an Asian but this is reaching to blame some one with your own parochial perceptions.

    Wow. Really. Dude, eat a Snickers.

    Actually I live/ work in Vancouver. Huge Asian population. Believe it or not, I have actually had this conversation with many coworkers. Who are Asian. It is possible to have a civilized discussion about cultural differences without crying racism.

    ETA: yes I realize Asia much bigger. Thanks for the geography lesson. I will be sure to include graphics next time.

    Well even if they are using the squatting method on the toilets, they should still clean any mess left behind.
    My job has potty liners , hand sanitizer , Lysol wipes , nitrile gloves , and toilets get cleaned daily with clorox . so I guess I would have no clue if they are squatting on the potty or not because its very clean , no shoe prints . the people should clean their shoe prints off, no matter what the reason is they've left them there.

    I feel like saying Asians is totally justified, she even mentions places in Asia that have this system and her own city is very Asian, like seriously they are everywhere and as a white male I feel like a minority where she lives.

    Judging from your profile picture, I can tell you're from the states and don't care about black lives because you took the #Blacklivesmatter and made it about everyone and not the group of people being targeted...

    Also...photoshop tutorials are on Youtube....

    Mine are just stressed out for no good reason. Almost everyone walks around here acting crazy. There's maybe a few who are calm and collected. I love my job but these people... not so much.

    I live with lot of asians, travelled there and so what? I know people who were from other races who step on toilets for other reasons. You sound like an amish person I know, should I start calling you Amish?

    Then why does it say all lives, not just "cop friend's lives?"


    I mean... let's be specific. You brought up Beijing and China, in an attempt to be specific, so stay the course.
