Dear co-irker, I do NOT need to know...
...that you have a bikini (and brow/lip) wax scheduled. Seriously! I've had to listen to that same annoying assistant schedule and reschedule this freakin' appointment so many times and it just grosses me out (she's one of those overtanned, over-jewelryed, generally overdone 50-year-old types). I can't believe what and how much she shouts about into her phone!
Feel free to add your own workplace complaints.
I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball
Re: Dear co-irker, I do NOT need to know...
Yep, same one! She b1tches & moans about her job all the time and is constantly talking about how stressed she is and how she's going to quit and move to Florida--OMG, DO IT!
I used to work with a woman in her 50's who would say things like "Did you watch Private Practice last night?" "No, but I recorded it to watch tonight." "Oh, you'll like it. It's a good episode. But I couldn't believe the boy died at the end!"
ALL the time!
Good lord.
I don't have to deal with much now that I WFH BUT I go somewhere consistently here where the married owners fight constantly. I am always hearing her scream at him that she is going to beat his azz. And leave him. And he yelled at her that he doesn't think one of the twins she is pregnant with is his because "They didn't have sex 6 days later as the u/s confirmed the second was conceived" Dumbass. Sperm lives in your uterus for a few days. Dumbass.
And I also heard that she caught him in the back room with an employee and took the employee out into the driveway and beat the shiznit out of her. In front of customers. And now the (ex) employee's cousin works there but they don't know they are cousins. Oh the dramz.
I used to tell one of the law firm legal asst who complained about the job all the time to just leave. That was my way of finally dealing with her when she wouldn't take my advice and suggestions to grow and learn more. So she'd whine and I'd say, "So leave." and walk off.
Professional, I know...
FUN! What a trainwreck! Tell her to go onto TIP or ML or 3rd tri so I enjoy the drama for myself
Most of my work place drama takes place at work parties... which is why I stopped going. Watching drunk fifty year old women say inappropriate remarks about each others husband is so unsettling. They also get b1tchy when they drink. Just no fun.
As one of the few male teachers... I also have to deal with a lot of overly personal conversations in the faculty room... I just want to say "Ok, I know you are all comfortable around me, and we can chat about what color you should paint your living room, and where to purchase new drapes, but I don't need to know when each of you are on your period! It's just not lunch time conversation!!"
And note to self based on all the stories here: don't turn into a BSC lady when I hit 50!
ditto & ditto
& wow we have some crazy co workers. Punky your story had me going
He's our token man!!
OMG the lawyer partner I used to work for would clip his nails at his desk. Ugh!
It is so gross. This guy in particular was awful. He would floss with those little plastic flossers, and then sometimes he would take a magazine off of my desk when I wasn't at it and TAKE IT TO THE BATHROOM! So gross. He would try to just give it back to me. "No thanks ..."
Ew ew ew!!!
Did I ever tell you guys the story about the meeting I was in where, right after a working lunch, a senior partner from a VC firm started flossing his teeth at the conference table?! There were like 15 of us in the room, it was a big meeting and it's not like he was in a corner trying to hide it. He was just flicking his floss right at the table--yuuuuck!!!
lol
Yup.. I'm a guy. My sister told me about the nest, she is a big nestie in Baltimore. I love the D&R and Cooking board. I have really had fun chatting on here.
Ginger is my "drag" name... although I've never done drag... it's a long story. : )
He he he. It sounds rather interesting!
I'm in the mood for a long story. We need more posts here anyway. Glad you decided to venture onto this board, too, and hope you stick around!
I like long stories too
I have this woman who works with me who's had way too much work done....its gross....she looks fake.....and she tans too much and talks really loud and she has THREE phones for the business.....and isnt even VIP..... but she leaves ALL OF THEM ON LOUD.....omg it drives me NUTS!
Getting fit for IVF!
