That Strange Work Phenomenon

Ringing people who sit over the partition from you when all you have to do is stand up from your seat.

What is that about?

Pretty obvious response I would have thought.

sometimes the most obvious ones are the funniest ones…thought being an only fools and horses fan you would understand that

Seeing that your definition of humour is some baldy cunt leaving stupid childish messages on Bebo pages I’ll take your opinion on comedy with a pinch of salt.

Another work phenomenon: birds going out of their way to be bitches and being incredibly petty. I’d probably be annoyed if it was worth giving a shit about.

Lovely. Ah lovely. :smiley:

Cheerio. Hope you enjoyed your time here. P45 in the post.

Thinly veiled dont piss off the IT guy :smiley:

Does every office have one of those loud, power walking, always seems busy types who seems to think they are the most important person in the office which gives her (usually a bird) the right to talk so loudly and distract everyone else from their work?

Get her drunk and ride her:thumbsup:

Yep. One bint here makes it her business to inform everybody that she’s come in the door in the morning, flings open the door, big hellos to everybody and proceeds to questione everyone on their evening.

Anyone allowed use iPods in their office? In certain situations I can pop mine in and get away with it. Not always, but there are periods in the work where you’ll just be flying through spreadsheets and keeping the head down so its ok. This morning is one of those, I’m a lil hungover and she’s incredibly tired. However I forgot my iPod headphones…disaster.

I’m experiencing two of those phenomena today:

  • the annoying bint who is way too loud and is marching about the place
  • the other annoying bint who is in a mood and I’m expected to care.

MBB I’ve 3 pairs of headphones on my desk, drop in to my office (2nd floor) and I’ll hand them over.

I keep a set permanently in the computer. Handy for watching you tube videos or “hilarious” email attachments.

There was one of those busy-body types here but she got the road, my area is much quieter now.

Ever be one of the first into a meeting and not have a clue where to sit? Is there some kind of office etiquette to deal with such a situation?

hide under the desk until everyone comes in, and then when you see a few birds legs and a spare chair between them, slide up and say ‘yep, projector connected now’ and give a little wink.

am lucky here that I have my own office so can pretty much do what I want and no one bothers me. a few times I’d have to go into the office with the women, and the noise off one of them is unreal. couldnt have a phone conversation with anyone with her there.

I usually sit on my arse but I suppose you could try sitting on your head just to be different.

What about someone whos sits beside you and makes lots of calls complaining to dififerent companies, e.g. vodafone, vhi, etc about how they’re being shafted by them? Yet the things that she complains about are all clearly set out in the terms and conditions in the first place. So she argues with them for half an hour over sometime that they can’t change even if they wanted to which they wouldn’t anyway cos she’s been doing their head in for half an hour. It’s happening right now and I might be forced to bludgeon her with my keyboard.

It could be worse Woody, you could be the poor cunt on the other end of the line.
