People complaining about complaints.

This is the last I speak of the subject. I swear

Complaining about complaining about complaints.

I can be cute too!
post #353 of 3376
People complaining about people complaining about complaints would seem to be a subset of people complaining about complaints and therefore these people would seem to ultimately be complaining about themselves. Please note that I am not complaining about any of this.

*head explodes*
post #355 of 3376
I'm sick to death of people's heads exploding.

In all seriousness though. I am really, really sick of people who are adults but stuck in some sort of highschool mindset where they absolutely thrive on drama. Of course they say they don't, but they do. Oh yes they do(and are often the ones causing said drama).

People using the phrase "(this gag) killed me". We need to have Nick give us some more phrases to use when we find something funny.

I'm tired of people DERAILING MY BRILLIANT FUCKING THREAD!

WORK COMPLAINTS ONLY, PEOPLE!
post #358 of 3376
Wait. Bob, wasn't that a complaint about this thread, i.e. - a complaint about something unrelated to work?

You're part of the problem, man.
post #359 of 3376
No way, Zooey -- obviously, this thread is Bob's labor of love.

I knew someone would make that joke. I just didn't think it would be you, Zooey.
I just don't know what to believe in anymore.

It's early yet. I'm still warming up.

I am real tired of people dumping food into the half of the double-sink that DOESN'T have a disposal. And I'm tired of people who throw regular trash in the recycling. And I'm tired of people who leave every sink, whether in the kitchen or bathroom, dripping wet (which really sucks when you accidentally lean up against the edge). It's gotten so bad that facilities installed "Please clean up after yourself" plaques in all the kitchens on every floor.

I work with alot of nerds/geeks (in the video game industry). You'd think they still live with their mothers and don't know how (or just refuse) to pick up after themselves.

Guys at work bragging on how much their sons weigh:

"Well, my boy weighs 250 pounds so....."

"250lbs? Hell, my boy weighs 375 pounds easy."

"My boy's goin' deer huntin' tomara'.....and he weighs about 400 pounds......."

"Me and ma boy were workin' on the truck this weekend. Now..... he tip the scales at mmmmmm I'll say..........350...."

They never really add what the extra weight adds to their son's value in life, they just like to brag ther boys are tubby.

Red necks, white trash. People that yell out "Somebody needs to shoot that sumbitch" when Obama comes on the TV.

Fair enough. People that take "no working off the clock" rules too seriously. I accidentally left some money underneath my till in the cash register. As I was walking out, my manager pointed it out to me. I apologized and offered to run it back to the cash office. She refused on grounds that it was considered working off the clock, and then said she'd have to write me up and complained about how that was going to be more paperwork to fill out.

It's employee appreciation week. I just came from our karaoke contest, held at the office in the middle of the day.

You ever been so embarrassed for another human being that it caused you physical pain?

Employee Contribution Campaigns

It sometimes feels like I'm working for the motherland.
post #371 of 3376
Optional employee satisfaction surveys that managers force their employees to take because participation percentage is used to determine managers' raises and bonuses. Nothing like an opinion you're forced to go provide.

Hey, everyone! It's time for our annual 1 million dollar drive for (insert charity here)!! We'll be going around with pledge forms for you. Don't worry, this is entirely optional...

Ours are called "Team Health Surveys" and I was pressured (I mean "encouraged") to fill mine out last week.

Don't worry, you can be totally honest on your review. The information that you provide will never, ever come back to haunt you. Your company values trust and fosters an aura of honesty. They care about you.

Kid, I am standing behind you while giving the lecture on how to use the library catalog. As such, I can see you playing online ping-pong, looking at ESPN, and basically doing everything but paying attention to me. When I call you out on it, switching over to dicking around with your phone isn't exactly subtle, nor is falling asleep.

I am not saying these things for my health or my own edification. Do it again next week, and I'm going to use the NetOp software to display your screen on the projector at the front of the room. Hope you're writing a totally inappropriate email to your girl when I do it.

No sir. However, less creative shysters have just left condoms amongst the bananas. Although I feel like the situation has been over-exhaggerated - I've only found condoms 5 times in 3 years... so 166% of the time unless my math is wrong.
post #384 of 3376
It just happened again.

Director With A Vision: (as if he's the first person to think of this wholly original and creative idea) "Hey, I know half this movie takes place outside and at dusk but can we do it without crickets. They're overdone."

Me: "Sure!"

Two weeks of background work later:

DWAV: "These scenes that take place at night seem empty. Like the scene doesn't extend outside the frame. Can you put some crickets in or something?"

Me: (un-muting the crickets tracks that we put in) "Sure"

Greens or yellows? I'd want them to last a while.

Can't remember, but assuming they were found in the morning, I think it's a good assumption that there were more yellows... I'll say 5 times in 3 for consistancy in numbers.

Your bosses NOT showing up for work. And leaving everything to you. Including babysitting over new employees and locking up. Meaning i need to stay after my schedule...

I had that happen once. We had a manager not show up for a whole week(we later found out that he wanted to get fired...long story) and leave all of us to cover for his lies: He had promised clients that certain action items would be taken care of during that week...items that he hadn't told anyone about. We had to scramble and put in massive overtime to cover for his shit while he was gone. We got most of it done and he got fired the next week, which is just what he wanted.

Really, really bad drivers in Calgary after the first snowfall. I mean we have some of the worst drivers on the planet in this city but the idiocy goes up exponentially after the snow.

And it's called a signal light, people, use the fucking thing!

Many people believe that they'll be seen as martyrs if they come in to work with snot gushing from their orifices. Staying home from work is the best part about being sick, you retards.
post #393 of 3376
Yeah, there's nothing noble about being sick and being at work. Take a sick day. Don't hinder the office with your disease. Even a day off helps. Please.
post #394 of 3376
People bitching about working all the time. Then we get a whole week off for Thanksgiving, so they bitch that they gotta make a living and need to work. The company gave us plenty of notice that we might want to save some vaction days for the shutdown in fact.

These same people bitch about how the company never fixes anything, but don't want to take time off for repairs to be made.

And, this. For the past week, I feel like I've been walking into a fucking hot zone, and everyone's asking why I'm not sick. Because I don't go to a bar to drink my lunch and don't eat like shit, you dolt.
post #396 of 3376
People who think that the current economic situation is contained within the walls of our office. Why is it so slow? Open up a paper or turn on the TV!

Why is it so slow? Well, I don't know, maybe all of these other companies are laying people off just to mess with us. Yes, our company is in a recession, not the entire country.

Other companies are saying you can get as much work as you can handle? Guess what? Our recruiters (just like any company) are telling contractors the same thing. It's what recruiters do.

You're quitting? Ok, I guess I'll make due with the dozen guys calling me to sign on here because their companies aren't doing any better....

We have an Asian woman who meows like the cat puppet from Mr. Rogers. Not as a laugh per se, she just meows. Weird.

What used to piss me off were the ones who would drag themselves in, then spend the day begging to go home early because they're sick. And get mad at me when I wasn't able to due to staffing levels. "But I'm sick!" "Well, then you shouldn't have come in." "But I need the hours!" "Then you should be okay with not leaving early." "But I'm sick!" Then I'd find something else to do, like count shoe laces or something.
