Annoying/Cringeworthy things your co-workers do....

My legal interns are:

Asher
Abraham (who insists on Abraham and not Abe)
Alexia

Had to tell my staff to stop calling them the A-holes in emails...."get one of the a-holes to do it, etc"

 

The audacity of that kid to insist being called his actual name.

 

hahahaha

 

Abraham is a way better name than Abe too

 

Lots of Binding of Isaac references you can make then.

 

problem?

 

Not sure this qualifies as anything but just fucking gross but here it goes...

I work with a girl who either doesn’t know about deodorant, doesn’t use it by choice or doesn’t respect any of us enough to give a fuck to wear deodorant. It smells exactly how you think after one hour. Now she has also added in sour fucking scrubs.

 

You must have missed the recent thread where TMB said wearing deodorant every day is behind the frat curve

 

I’m in my 30s, what does that mean?

Yes I missed the thread.

I exaggerated a little bit fwiw. Looks like most of TMB is still on deodorant but "Generation Z", not so sure

 

Obnoxiously large display of rival team merchandise when working in heavy area of local team

 

I just got an invite to a meeting. In the attachment some of the attendees names were misspelled so badly multiple times the exact same way that I momentarily forgot how to spell the names.

"Sahra" really got to me

 

Negotiated for days over how work was going to be apportioned with another team. Set up the request to Dev Teams for work to be done.

Wake up to 100 emails to our team with no indication it was going into place from the other team. And it’s 100% of the workload, instead of the 10% we were to take on.

“We’ll see if we can get that backed out sometime this AM.”

In the meantime, we’ll get 1,000 emails to our team. Thanks, assholes.

 

Was invited for free coffee/donuts by another office on our floor. Went just to be polite. Get there and there's a sales pitch from a chiropractor's office attached :|

 

Well yeah, Abe sounds so old fashioned. Nothing like the hip and trendy Abraham

 

Worse: the donuts were from Dunkin

 

I just didn't think I'd ever seen a Krispy Kreme around downtown Columbia.

 

There's one on Garners Ferry Road and one on Knox Abbott Drive right across the river. Fucking norths like their Dunkin

 

Dunkin >>>>>>>>>>>>> Krispy Kreme

 

By far the worst opinion ever

 

PAHokie pls

 

Krispy Kreme is literally eating air.

 

Dunkin and Krispy Kreme both have shitty donuts

 

Donut get me started

 

That's the point. Donuts are supposed to be light and fluffy. Not more dense than dbl.

 

Growing up I was never allowed to have junk food before lunch time. Looking back it seems arbitrary, but to this day I get disgusted when I see people eating donuts and other sweets in the office prior to lunch.

 

If you’re not eating cake donuts then you’re not living

 

Sausage cheese kolache with an apple fritter gad damn you are livin

 

Update: So I finally had enough and decided to put my foot down and file a formal complaint with HR. I never dreamed that they would respond this way:

I admire Texas's ability to make breakfast hotdogs socially acceptable

 

anytime is a good time to eat a wiener when you're from texas.

 

Lady next to me on the phone with what I assume to be a client just used yuppie to mean hippie and said “the a-pit-of-me”

 

One of the geniuses I work with drove a giant boom lift onto soft ground (it has been raining a bit plus the area gets irrigation every day) and broke the main water line at one of the biggest parks in Portland

"I felt myself sinking so I tried to spin my way out" was his quote

When they show up and breathe and generally just exist within my parameters

 

Sure you don’t want to change the old username to CuntFinn

 

Thanks for the suggestion. It’s in the box with the others

 

Dude who sits in the cubicle next to me can carry a conversation with me for an extremely long time while I give him classic one word responses like "yeah," "ok," "uh huh" and the classic "hmm."

 

Not annoying or cringeworthy, but worth mentioning since I’ve never seen it. Some guy in one of the shitters decided to drape 5 feet of TP on both the cracks on each side of the stall door to prevent people from seeing him. Must be real shy.

 

or he's doing drugs.

 

My neighbor at work is really tough to be around. We all do inside sales on the same hallway. We get our own offices but the halls echo and you can hear everything everyone is saying unless you close a door.

-He calls both his parents daily to talk about various personal things such as issues with his wife (He's 40 and a newlywed to his second wife, no kids) as well as planning his weekly get togethers with his parents

-He calls his friends personally to complain about his wife several times a week. This one comes in goes, depending on the current state of their relationship.

-He starts phone calls often with "THE MAN, THE MYTH THE LEGEND-HOW THE HELL ARE YA." he does that to pretty much any male that's not his Dad. at least 3-5 times a day

-These next few are regionally specific but he is a Hoover High School football season ticket holder and did not go to Hoover and has no relatives that went to Hoover. I don't know why but that one irks me.

-He was the mascot at Alabama in the 90s and brings it up almost daily to various customers, acquaintances, vendors, etc.

-He has literally (I just counted) 9 Daniel Moore paintings in his office.

 

What the fuck

 

Oh that's a good one.

 

I like this guy

 

Jesus christ. The man, the myth, the legend makes me fucking cringe so hard.
