    When you ask a coworker if they finished the report you asked for a week ago and instead of saying simply no they answer “no I’m here to sit still, look pretty.”

    Regulars & strangers who come in & expect me to have deep & meaningful conversations with them/chit-chat listen to entire life story/play psychiatrist will talk my head off as well as other co-workers' heads off thinking we simply have nothing better to do...messed up when people try to befriend you @ work & mysteriously only want to talk to you when you are on the clock @ his/her leisure/convenience

    CNA in long term care. I work evenings.

    I want to roll heads when day shift leaves dirty briefs in the garbages, *kitten* clothes on the floor and beds stripped when we come in shift. Our shift gets all the sundowning behaviors. We dont have time to clean up day shifts *kitten* before we can even get started on ours. As it is on a good day we're running right until 11pm and the night shift gets pissy if a resident is left up because we didnt have time to put them to bed because we had extra work piled on us from day shift.

    Sucks.

    I used to work in an rcf and later icf care facility for adults with mental and physical disabilities the last year and a half specializing in autism and austistic tendencies. It’s amazing how much I loved what you said haha

    I work in a Cement Plant in D shift which covers A B and C shifts days off and people come to work acting entitled to a paycheck without the work. “ oh I’m sorry man I forgot you weren’t getting paid to be here!” Or people who gossip! I had a coworker come up to me and say did you hear about so and so in the office? She sleeps with everyone! I asked how was she? He said what do you mean? I said well she sleeps with everyone but she missed me she must have hit you right?? He never talked “kitten” about any one else to me again😐

    The office temperature fluctuates from Mustafar to Hoth on a given day.

    I haven't worked retail in more than a decade but my biggest pet peeve was when people would come in with <10 minutes to closing time and have a lot of business to conduct. For example, needing to find holiday gifts for 6 people in a bookstore...special order an item...complete their full grocery run...or really, just anything outside ordinary business. A lot of times, I'd end up having to stay late because of these people and I don't think they realized (or cared) that it also screwed up some peoples' schedules and the entire store payroll by causing 4-5 employees to have an extra 15+ minutes on the clock. Seems like a small thing, but it was a real pain!

    Because of this, I am really annoyed as a customer when I run into a store that closes at 9:00 pm at 8:35-8:45 pm and they're vacuuming, shutting off half the lights, and treat me rudely at checkout when I just want to buy 1-2 specific items and am visibly rushing to complete my purchase. I'm usually a really "easy" customer but that makes me irritated - and it happens almost any time I go to a store in its final hour of business. I just remember having to act so patient and polite to customers for years and it gets my hackles up, I guess!

    an equal trying to tell me what to do. I'm like 'bro, I've been here longer then you. *kitten* off, and don't tell me how to do my job'. Politely ofc.

    Even more so when a fill-in/temporary (often clueless about many things from having no regular work setting/vibes how things are really handled) tries this...I'm often tempted to tell him/her just let me handle X, please just go home, you've done enough (damage) as soon as I walk in to work. Man, but that type of stuff/truth/insight totally hurts peoples' feelings...always phrase things differently...#English

    They never learn from their mistakes/misfires/less than ideal strategies for resolving conflict because they are gone as soon as someone else shows up for relief. Temporaries take no responsibility & literally just have jobs to stall until regulars show up & allow for regulars to actually use vacation days

    There's a scruffy tramp in my office that constantly clears his throat / hawks. Sounds creamy and gross most of the time. He used to sit next to me until i told him i disliked him and all of his bad habits, there was an office reshuffle straightaway and now some poor lady has to deal with his sick dog noise

    At my new job there is really only one. And that is a lady who works with me. She obsesses over everything I do and usually makes snide comments about it, whether its when we are planning a lunch and she has to tell everyone i'm on a special diet??? Which I am not. Or my boss told me I could leave early on Friday (he told her too) and when I actually did she complained to HR. There is nothing in our dress code about wearing shirts with words on them, its a very, very casual office but she always tells me she thinks its unprofessional when I wear them. I have a hoop ring in my nose and she casually mentions in front of my boss that facial piercings on women are unattractive. I have so many more examples and I've only been here 10 months.

    She sounds like a fat farking jealous miserable toxic S k a n k. I feel for you girl.. I was bullied by this really ugly fat English chick when I entered the workforce at 20. She had the meanest looking face and her teeth were overly bucked. She would look and me up and down all the time and patronise me about everything. When I was using a computer and checking my emails she snatched the mouse from my hand and shut the computer down.. she did a lot of other nasty things too. I was too nice back then to even know what to say or do... but now.. come at me b I t c h I’ll f you up. I saw her a couple of years ago.. I’m in my 30s now.. she’s gotten even fatter and uglier I didn’t even know what was possible but it is when your soul is toxic!! Just do you girl.. haters gona hate beautiful people like us babes xxx hugs xxx

    Currently the person near me slurping everything that he drinks. If he cracks open another soda I might just accidentally spill it.

    There's these ladies in the office... every time one or the other buys some new shoes I have to overhear this conversation:

    (they bump into each other rounding the corner)
    OMG I love your shoes!
    Thank you! They were having a 30% off sale at (insert giant store that sells mass produced shoes).
    OMG I saw that when I was picking up Bella from gymnastics!
    Oh yeah?! How is she doing!



    Strike me down, Lord. :expressionless:

    When people make a mess in the kitchen and dont clean up after themselves. I would hate to see what some peoples houses look like :# Because judging by their behavior and habits here, I have no choice but to assume they are slobs. There is no maid service and I am not your mother. Its simple really - If you spill the *kitten* sugar while making your coffee, clean it up. If your food explodes in the microwave, clean it up.

    Student volunteers. The space is too small and I'm not getting paid to be a teacher and or supervisor.

    Having said that, I feel like grumpy *kitten* because they are just kids and are willing and want to help me do anything I ask them to

    Recently it's my nurse.

    Shes a 21 year old fresh out of school know it all but 95% of *kitten* she has bickered or argued with me about, shes been wrong but she treats you like *kitten* and like you're dumb until you actually shove proof in her face that shes wrong.


    She also sucks at her job and should have been terminated months ago.
