    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.

    I hate when I’m removing a patient’s sock and maggots come out of a foot wound, and the patient acts oblivious.

    Come on, how did you not know you had maggots!?

    Two. Entitled rich people. Secondly indignant hoarders. I'll add what I like about work, like my co workers. We were on strike for 7 weeks a few years ago and it's made a lot of us friends instead of fellow employees. Look forward to seeing them.

    I get repulsed going into people's homes often . Don't know how you care givers do it. Stronger than me.

    On the hoarder topic - I worked in an office with a woman in her thirties who had DOZENS of Miche handbag shells, Mary Kay & Avon cosmetics, Scentsy warmers and other awful things stacked under her desk and filling her coat closet. Most of it still in boxes.

    I don’t like when I’m injecting anesthetic and patient kicks their foot or flails their arm. I have a needle and can stick myself. This is dangerous.

    I don’t like when patients on meth try to spit or curse when children are around.
