Ignorant office Manuevers!

I am a teacher so...
after giving instructions the student that comes up to me and asks "What do I do?"
Ha, so true! I got to writing up the instructions on the whiteboard so I could just wordlessly point at the board.
Also, "Miss, I don't have a pen!". I really wished I could just send them home - what on earth are you doing at school (especially in English class) without some kind of writing implement? (It was a school in a wealthy area).0 -
not using ear buds when listening to music.
WHISTLINGGGGGG...causing me to listen to my music without earbuds...LOL
microwaving fish or popcorn!
Acting like every phone call is to a person that is hard of hearing0 -

My son does this because he had undetected Autism and really doesn't understand what to do. It took 4 years for him to learn how to ask. I would attempt asking them if they were not paying attention or if they really don't understand. You may be detering a child that truely needs help, although the chances are that they weren't paying attention you could change the efforts of that one student.
Just saying it's something to think about. 0 -
People who are constantly turning the thermostat down to 60. I'm FREEZING! Keep your damn hands off it!
yeah...this one!!!0 -
People who cook fish in the microwave!
Just curious, why?
Stinks up the whole joint! Some do not like the smell of fish radiating all over the building.0 -
smokers who take literately 7 3-5 minute smoke breaks a day ontop of their lunch breaks and normal breaks. I am a non smoker and rarely have time to take a break to pee plus my lunch because i'm covering your BUTT.0

Maybe the student has a different learning style. I work with students who need written instructions, its just the way they learn. Verbal instructions are not always enough. Some of them have to have a digital recorder in class to play back what the teacher has said. The student could have some type of learning disability that no one has discovered.0 -
OH, I agree! 0

Bringing in cookies or sweets. How dare they..0

We have a dishwasher where I work.. it doesn't actually work but people still insist on putting their dishes in the dishwasher!
Worst yet there is one good knife for cutting things and it is ALWAYS in the dishwasher! Wash and dry your dishes. And none of this I put it in the dishwasher to dry... because then you should go put it away too!0 -
I don't have time now to read all of these, but I hate it when people (not just men) dribble on the toilet seat in the shared bathroom and then don't wipe it off.
For those who have food thieves, I used to have one that stole my food all the time. I spiked it with very, very, very hot seasonings and kept the real McCoy in a cooler bag. They stopped stealing food. Not just mine, but everyone elses. Might have been because I changed the containers all the time too.0 -
People who dig their dip out of their mouth and throw it in my trash can.
That is too foul for words...:sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:
Yes it is. I work in the construction industry and I'm the only girl in an office full of guys. I have a pretty good sense of humor and let the crude jokes, farts and other "guy" things go, but this one is disgusting. Makes me want to hurl.0 -

THIS!!!!! I worked with a lady who brought in a gallon of milk to use as creamer for her coffee throughout the week. We had recently moved one of our operations from UT to IL and had to hire a lot of new people in a short amount of time. Needless to say the quality of the people they hired was sub par. Food was constantly being stolen/used/etc. even if you put a note on it. She would even put her milk in a bag and they would use it. I told her if it were mine I'd get a half gallon and add in a bunch of liquid ex-lax. You'd know by who was running to the bathroom who the culprit was. She was too nice and never found out who it was!0 -
OMG - all of these are so true!! Here is my pain, and all from the two people who are on the otherside of the cube.
Eating all day. Russling the wrappers, and not chewing with their mouth closed. How can they not hear themselves. Sometimes I mimic them when they are very loud and it annoys me. Then when they talk, they can't be bothered to wait in between bites, they talk loud with mouth full. I have ear buds in with music and can still hear them.
Also, not getting off their butts to talk to someone in an office, they yell. No consideration what so ever. These people also listen to voice mail on speaker.
One lady tries to talk low sometimes, but i call it whisper screaming. Even more annoying then her regular outdoor voice that is used almost all day. She also bangs on her desk everytime she makes a point, makes my papers jump. I asked her not to pound since it rattles everything on my desk. She says she does not do that, so now evertime she does, at least 3 times a day, i have to yell stop it.
I HATE my cubemates. They are loud, inconsiderate and rude.
Wow...sounds like we work with the same crazies! I also have to add that the same people who talk with their mouths full of food also do the "teeth sucking" noises when they finish eating...disgusting!!!0 -

A couple more:
Sitting at MY desk and putting your feet, shoes and all, up on it. Especially bad since the person is a nurse and knows what is on those shoes!!
Listening to my telephone conversation and interjecting information. I'm listening to the person on the other end, not you.
Insisting on talking to me from your stall in the bathroom when I am in another stall doing my business.
Falling asleep or not paying attention in a meeting and then asking me questions about what you missed.
In a committee meeting when person Y is there and she uses the time to talk about stuff from a totally different committee meeting which has nothing to do with my department. I feel like I am held hostage.
And, as already mentioned, having a meeting to plan a meeting about having a meeting. Plus the meeting to decide who will attend the meetings.0 -
Not getting your own stapler and "borrowing" mine.
BEST MOVIE EVER!!0 -
....or people that "talk to themselves" all day and then get offended when they ask you a question, but you didn't realize that they were talking to you.... UGH!!
OH MY FREAKIN GOSH..........we have a gal who talks to herself all day long! No filter on this woman - she doesn't work in the same area as me, but close enough - and she can be at the copy machine, at the fridge, ANYWHERE, and she's talking to herself. Everything she does is OUT LOUD...............
uggh.0 -
The flip-side of this are the little waifs who will dress in these gauzy little fashions in the middle of a Northeast Winter, and then constantly gripe how cold they are and crank the thermostat up to 88 to keep warm. Of course, those of us who wore sweaters and jackets have to endure the "sauna" for these little princesses.People who are constantly turning the thermostat down to 60. I'm FREEZING! Keep your damn hands off it!
yeah...this one!!!

We actually have some one in my office that has been nicknamed "milton". He waste so much company time, money, and resources it isn't even funny. He calls meeting with people from every department, and within 5 minutes we all get in and are ready to take action. But he will talk for an hour just to "understand" and then call follow-up meetings for something that normal people could have dealt with in the first 5 minutes. FRUSTRATING!0

Helping yourself to the office holiday carry-in when you were clearly too cheap to bring anything in to contribute.0

one that just happened today: hovering over my food and using your boney fingers to point 2 inches from my food...."oooohhhh, what's THAT"...then you leave early because feel sick you and start vomiting when you get home!!! SERIOUSLY!!!! Never hover over a former-fat girl's food!!!0

Weinifying community food. Weinifying = The act of holding your weinie while you pee then you don't wash your hands. Everything you touch after that will then have been weinified.0

1. Leaving MESSES all over the kitchen. It's some Sweet 'n Low, a coffee stirrer, and a napkin- if Juan Carlos comes to work every day and cleans our whole building top to bottom like, 4 times before he's done, do him and all of us a favor and THROW YOUR **** OUT.
2. People who ask the same question over and over again. See also: people who ask EVERYONE else for the answer to something BEFORE attempting to figure it out on your own. THE REASON I KNOW THE ANSWER IS BECAUSE I LOOKED FOR IT!!! Try it one day!!
GAHHHH!!! That second one annoys me more than anything.0 -
clipping your toe nails
not washing your hands
spraying so much disinfectant at their desk I inhale it and choke on it - get some f'ing wipes, antibacterial wipes are your friend and mine
people who are able bodied yet stop the elevator in progress to go down 1 flight - lazy
Clipping toe nails while at work? OMG! What kind of boss or supervisors do you have at work?0 -
Using your speaker phone for a conference call and we have to sit and listen to every stinking word even though it has nothing to do with us.
This!!!0
