Fussy folks. The everyday things that make us insane.

My brain injury has given me the fun side effect of FREAKING out when other people move my things.

I may or may not have been in our room rocking back and forth crying whilst you cleaned the hall closet.

I'm lucky you love my swiss cheese.

POLLLLLLLLLLLKA Dots.

NOT "POKKA Dots"

POLLLLLLLLKA. WITH AN "L" POLLLLLKA.

And NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER "Poka Dots"

And it's punishable by DEATH if you do "POKE-A-DOTS"

I can SOMETIMES forgive "Polky dots" because the "L" is present and my Granny used to say it that way. *twitch*

POLKA Dots. POLLLLLLLLLLKA.

i was so nervous then i understood you meant the SPELLING... i love my polka dots and polkas aren't bad, either. not much beats an elderly couple dancing a polka--and of course she should be wearing her finest polky dots.

here's one: if you pronounce the T in 'often' i will notice, often. in fact, every time. (but i won't say anything cuz that's just rude.)

Im having a junky day at work.

Mainly because this insane woman keeps calling me complaining about how the person who works the morning half of my job ISNT HERE.

Conversation:

Her: "I want to talk to X about the job cancel"

Me: "X leaves every day at 1pm and I've already handled the cancellation"

Her: "Well, X needs to send out a memo about their work hours"

Me: "I'll let them know. Was there anything else?"

Her: "Because I have been emailing X for 2 hours and he isnt responding."

Me: "Right. X leaves every day at 1pm."

Her: "So you've handled the job? I guess that X will also be leaving at 1pm tomorrow?"

Me: "Yes, it is handled and YES, X leaves every day at 1pm."

Her: "Nobody has ever told me that. Someone needs to communicate with us about the schedules."

Me: "Right. I can send out an email if you like."

Her: "It isnt going to work with him leaving work early every day. He needs to stay longer."

Me: "We can talk about it in our staff meeting if you like, but this is a job share, X works the morning shift, I work the afternoon shift."

Her: "Well, he needs to answer his email"

Me: "He wasnt here to answer them. He left at 1pm. Your email came in at 1:14pm"

Her: "You mean he doesnt stay a few minutes extra in case someone might need to contact him?"

Me: "No. X leaves every day at 1pm."

Her: "Well nobody every told me...."

SCRREEEAAAAMMMMMMMMM.

Scorp · 12-14-2009, 04:42 PM

OMG

There is a woman in my dept who is sweeter than pie, but she drives everyone NUTS!

She ALWAYS forgets to turn down the ringer on her cell phone and so a few times a week, her phone RINGS for like 1-2 minutes straight the most annoying ringtone ever. It is one of the standard Blackberry tones.

And the worst part is that her office is a ways down the hall, which means the ringer is LOUD enough for me to hear like 20 yards away!!!

cara · 12-15-2009, 02:15 AM

I'm a planner and I *know* it's just not possible to get everyone to plan ahead. However, I'd like to think that if a retreat is being scheduled for a group of 16 people, more than 12-14 days notice would be nice. Especially when said retreat is being planned during the work week.

C'mon, folks. Not everyone in the group is out of work or able to take vacation between Christmas and New Years!

*grumble*

I had this problem with a co-worker. I just took the battery out of the phone and put it with a note on her desk that said "sorry, it wouldn't quit making noise and I couldn't figure out how to turn it down.

There is a guy at work who won't answer his cell phone right away because he likes to sing along with his ring tone. And of course, it's LOUD.

If I hear U2's With or Without You one more time, I will stick a pencil in his ear.

(But I won't because that might incur jail time.)

But I still WANT to.

"Two seconds"

Two seconds is not a realistic deadline to complete a task. When I ask you how long it will take you to complete something, arrive to a destination, etc., I'm looking for a time that is feasibly accurate. I'm not asking for a coutdown clock but there is a big difference between 2 seconds and 20 minutes.

Beau · 12-13-2009, 06:07 PM

Living in an apartment has its upside, but doing laundry is clearly not part of that. My fussy ire is provoked beyond control at the sight of someone else's stained underwear et al left far beyond the finishing time -- its crustiness proof of a neglectful slob -- even though the machines' timers clearly indicate when one should return.

I'm not folding your damned laundry, nor do I even remotely wish to touch it to move it out of the way.

Oh, and buy some goddamned new skivvies (or learn to use toilet paper), will you?

<-- post-appropriate smiley, huh?
