Things that happen at work
- Thread starter a loser
- Start date
The other day the guy I share an office with was being a real dickhead. I told him I was trying to get some work done but he kept interrupting me wanting to talk about all sorts of things sports-related. He was mostly antagonizing me about how his teams (Lakers, Dodgers, Rams) were doing well whereas mine (Sixers, Phillies, Eagles) were not. Which is fair and all but don't interrupt me doing my work to shit-talk. Whatever. What really upset me is that he took MY leftovers from the fridge and started eating them right in front of me. Like the absolute gall of this dude to do that astounded me. I was looking forward to that pizza
Working from home sucks

Not long ago we got new furniture for the entire office and had the new stuff all in the hallways. The reduced width of the walkway was throwing people off and they kept clipping the cabinets as they walked by. Someone put up a note to remind people to look out, but my boss ended up ramming into the cabinet with the note on it twice in one day. This made it much funnier though, because anyone who hits it at that point is a dummy.
Is the clipping furniture thing common enough to where you’d be rich if you had a dollar every time it happened?
context: i work at a clinic that does covid tests
canadian woman lectured me for 20+ minutes on subjects including but not limited to: the dangers of 5g towers, how she knows coronavirus is actually standard influenza, how she is scared to go back to canada because of evil socialism, how she KNOWS that the covid test swabs have dangerous BRISTLES compared to other kinds of swabs (even if this is true i dont care)
woman also argued with me that the swab goes up to your eyes, and insisted with me that the swab does not go near her eyes, as she has sensitive eyes. for those that dont know, the swab goes down what is called the nasopharyngeal cavity (read: your freakin shnoz!!)
her whipped husband apologized to me profusely afterwards

I was out on a site visit for work today (civil engineer doing road design) and a woman in a corolla came to a full stop on a busy 45 mph road and rolled down her window to say:
"Hey did you wash your jeans with windex?"
I replied "no" with probably a confused look on my face and she followed with
"cause I can sure see myself in them" and drove off

I also had a woman say the same thing but she was alone

Does your firm have any opening? I am a soon to be college graduate looking to do road design stuff on busy 45 mph roads. Please let me know, I'd love to apply.
One thing that no longer happens at work for me is playing pokemon. For years I've been flirting with disaster by playing mons at work on the DL until I finally had a close/wake-up call one day. For the last three months I haven't played at work, or at all really, and I have honestly felt so much happier. I'm no longer stressed about potentially getting in trouble over being the idiot playing games on company time. And surprise, surprise, my productivity has like drastically increased. I even got a raise.
So yeah games are fun and all but an honest day of work can be more rewarding than dominating the ladder. I finally grew up just enough to realize this and it has been great.

nice try, but i'm not falling for an obvious corporate shill
Lmao check out this load of BS guys
In the back stairway of my office building, there is a carpeted platform that is blocked by rails so no one can go on it. About four months ago, I placed a tiny piece of paper towel on it. Several weeks later, it was still there so I placed another. Last week, I placed a third. Not many people use this stairwell outside of some admin people and me (for exercise lol). I wonder how many I can line up before someone finally gets rid of them.
