Coming to work sick. Keep you coughing/sneezing/snorting at home.


There's a sign many places at my work advising on how to keep from getting sick. Been around since the chinavirus showed up. One of the bullet points says "Avoid sick people". How about enforcing that sick people stay the frick home! We have people here daily coughing like their lungs are about to spew out of their throats. "Oh, I just have allergies"

bullshite! Get your sick arse away from me.!

I would literally never go there or if I did not use the kitchen. I can't stand that. Last shared work space I had like that I put a tiny refrigerator in my office and never went near the kitchen.

ETA: wfh benefit- the kitchen and bathrooms are always clean

Oh gosh, I had a coworker once go out for takeout and come back with a bag of peel and eat boiled shrimp. Ate it at her desk!

Even if she'd have eaten it outside, how do you go back to office work after eating that messy meal?

Yeah, I avoid it as much as possible.

I try to give the benefit of the doubt that these people are just letting things soak/placing them into the sink with intentions of going back.. then forgetting and over time not realizing the items in there were theirs. But man it is frustrating.

Honestly, I quickly became de-sensitized to people microwaving seafood. It was the salad that weirded me out the most. Warm lettuce...yummmm

People that want to start a conversation as you’re getting into your vehicle to leave work.

Managers that tell you how to do your job. Even though they have never worked in the field that they are telling you how to do it. This is usually an engineer that was given the job because they are a suckass to their boss

The company a-hole who gets to the microwave first for lunch, puts their food in and then walks away saying I have so much to do leaving the next person to take out their food so they can heat their lunch.

Best revenge is to take it out and dump it into the garbage or just heat it again for say 30 minutes.

But the absolute worst is the jerk who wants popcorn, dials it up, leaves and then burns the popcorn.

My current one is the toilet paper. Might as well be wiping my arse with a cheese grater. Terrible. I’m pretty sure this paper could be used to resurface cloudy headlight lenses.
