re: Work pet peeves

People who smack while eating. Can't stand them. It's never white people either. It's the Indians. They have 0 common ettiquitte. I brought it up to an Indian who sat next to me and said "Man you must like biting you fork really hard because I hear it a lot." "And do you mind not smacking while eating?" Any normal coworkers I'd probably be too timid to do this, but since he's Indian I don't really care. It's like that scene on Harold and Kumar where the White frat guys give Harold all the work to do over the weekend. You know they won't bark back haha. He ended up moving desks to other side of the room.

People who manage to somehow in every conversation bring up their wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, or husband. Like I couldn't care any less about them. When you bring up a story about them, I just glaze over and hear nothing.

Managers that don't understand the scope and depth that some of their requests are and don't care to. They just auto think it is capable of being done in 2 days and when it takes a week or two, they are like why is it taking so long. I then bring them in a room and outline every step and how some of the info they are requesting isn't even online or able to be attained. They then shut up. I'd really like to say, "Okay if you think it can be done faster, then why don't you try to do it." Obviously I don't say this, but they just think something like "I want you to tell me what underground dirt cost in China on September 14, 1967, and what the profit of these companies made then?" Like that shite just isn't available. I wasn't doing this specific thing, but something that was as unfindable as that.

People who are on diet and have to broadcast it every chance they get.

People who ask "how ya doing?" and are dismayed if you don't answer with an entire song and dance "Just great! Gonna be a fannntastic day!"

Office pet peeve: people who leave like 10 seconds on the microwave.

Work related: Cc’ing the entire world when you think you’ve found a mistake someone else made and try and call them on it (usually ends up backfiring which is fun to watch though), but just makes office culture unbearable.

I've heard people say "Happy Friday Eve" on Thursday a few times in recent months and it makes me want to slam my own face into a cast iron skillet.

Happy Wednesday Eve....

Any Donut/coffee related humor.

For fricks sake, just say good morning. WTF would you barge in on someone and not say anything before you gave them your problem. If it is one of those that never speaks to you unless you speak to them then is spicy when you don't say something call them out.

1) Have a person who Teams messages me good morning. Nothing else and won't ask the question until I type good morning back

This shite sends me up the wall.

“I hope your weekend was well”.

No you don’t. You don’t give a shite about my weekend. Please tell me what you need.

People talking about their pregnancy success or struggles.

Congrats on the sex?
