re: Office things that get on your nerves

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

Cooking fish in the microwave.

Why don’t you just go ahead and admit it. You’re racist.

My whole QA group I deal with. They are more useless than HR.

Especially the loud mouth, know-it-all, never shuts up, laughs at everything ones. Thank jebus for my noise cancelling head phones.

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.
