I just dealt with the rudest person in this whole company.
I have a company laptop and my charger broke down earlier this afternoon. My battery died and had no way of working. I therefore went to the office to request a new charger and the IT guy was like: ā I canāt give you a charger off record, you need to raise a ticketā.
Then I explained I needed to finish my work day and couldnāt raise a ticket because my laptop is offline due to the battery being down. He was like ālook at the screen next to you, thereās a numberā. There was no number on that screen which I pointed out to him. Then he gave me a number to ring and raise a ticket. He was like āyou do understand that I canāt give you a charger off recordā.
I asked how long it would take to get a new charger and he was like āI donāt know, I only get the charger when itās deliveredā.
They have chargers lying around and Iām asked to raise a ticket and wait days to get a charger?! How am I supposed to work? This is ridiculous. I was about to ring my manager to escalate as I told him I needed a charger urgently to work. Then he finally gave me one. When I asked what to do with my defunct charger, he said ādo whatever you want with itā.
All this for a lousy charger. Iām a hybrid worker. No charger means no work. He was acting like Iād ask for a credit limit increase on my corporate card. SMH.

Youād swear he had to buy it himself out of his own money with no hope of being reimbursed ever
thatās insane.Just reply sweetly that when you are working from home you work all day and donāt get drawn into pointless office chatters you are much more productive
Our IT support guys can be like that. They treat us like we are absolute knuckle draggers when we don't know details about IT (which is the whole reason they have a job!) yet overlook the fact they are all sad fucks with zero social skills.Youād swear he had to buy it himself out of his own money with no hope of being reimbursed ever
This is so true. He spoke to me like a was a second class citizenās garbage and refused to look at me during our interaction. Never felt so disrespected in the workplace. He was acting like it was coming out of his paycheck and how dare I bother him for this!
Why do people send on an email on a Friday afternoon like 2 or 3 and then chase it up on Monday like they've sent it 3 days ago , so annoying
My boss really pissed me off on Friday afternoon as Iām off this week on annual leave. She decided to collate a load of data herself, copy me in to take over when I return next week and then volunteers me to organise a load of events also on my return. None of this is urgent so why not wait a week until Iām back rather than her usual halfassed handover where she will no doubt not hand it over completely and make the whole thing a hundred times more complicated. She loves to retain a bit of a job and then huff and puff when you have to ask her about her bit. So frustrating
I had a boss who resented me taking time off, she was awful, she would make my life a misery about days I was off and even called me in once! Pathetic woman, terrible manager.
Group chats on Teams.
We have this group on Teams and every woman in my team banters together on it. I keep getting the āding ding dingā bell every two seconds only to realize theyāre engaging in inside jokes I personally canāt seem get into.
It reminds me of MSN days when they cool kids chatted away together and you werenāt part of the group because not cool enough.
Maybe Iām the problem lol.

I had a boss once that when I was due to take leave wouldnāt speak to me on the day before of the day I returned
how great is it to be the ones who can laugh at these people!!! Thank god we are not them š¤š¤I had a boss once that when I was due to take leave wouldnāt speak to me on the day before of the day I returned
We have one of these and I hate it. I donāt actually care enough about the people I work with to fake an interest in their lives. I just want to be left to get on with my job in peace, not read about their weekends.
People that rarely seem to take annual leave because work is "too busy". Get a life. Work will wait and time off is important. Plus it's often people who overestimate the impact their absence will have...
It's come to mind today because there's this annoying guy who I was going to book in a meeting with today but I saw he was off. So I was thinking "hurrah he's off for a week, he won't bother me!" Sadly he's only off today and, looking at his calendar, he's only taken the time because he's got some appointment. Take a week off, you get a break and the rest of us do, too.

This is why I take a big backpack in every day and have to lug things back home. If you leave stuff on your desk it goes missing. For example, at my place if you left a multipack of chocolate bars on your desk to get you through the the month, if left partially open people would take one! It's not on the communal "cake" shelf that we have near the printer. Same if you bring your own stationery like memo blocks, they get depleted. I don't understand people taking stuff from peoples desks or drawers. We do have draws but we don't have locks. My colleague opposite me was on leave for 3 weeks recently, and has a bag of sugar in his drawer, for adding to his coffee. The amount of people I saw going in, taking the sugar bag with them to the kitchen and then coming back with it, while he was off! Just because he let you have sugar once when you forgot yours doesn't mean you can use it daily when he's not there . Buy your own!
I don't leave my cup at work any more after a chain smoker took mine and was using it. It had my initial on it, it's not like it was a communal plain one from the kitchen
Now I just take a coffee flask tumbler thing and take it home to wash.It might sound petty to some but I don't like people touching/taking my stuff.

My IT department is like this sometimes, they act like they are the gods and we are the plebs ... However they majorly messed up a systems upgrade the other week and left the whole organisation with intermittent internet outage issues for days š«£ muahahahaha

Bet she took all her leave days without question, though!

The flip side to this is having a boss who tries to dissuade you from taking leave. They will approve a day here & there but trying to get a week off is painful!People that rarely seem to take annual leave because work is "too busy". Get a life.

Honestly this is the most annoying thing. I WFH now but in a job i had about 4 yrs ago people would just help themselves to whatever was in your drawer. One guy actually broke the lock on my drawer to get into it when I was off on holidays. He took a mug shot, crisps and a can of diet coke. He just found it funny that he had done this.This is why I take a big backpack in every day and have to lug things back home. If you leave stuff on your desk it goes missing.

If you left food or a drink in the fridge you pretty much had to hide it at the back and under everyone else's as people would go in and take it! pure tramps.
One day I went into work to find someone using my cup and my pen, they had my pen in their mouth
I have a colleague who regularly hurts my feelings when we talk, like I think he is trying to be funny but I absolutely hate the things he says to me and it puts me in such a bad mood. Iāve just told him because itās just got to that point, heās upset me twice today and so I just said to him I donāt enjoy the negative sass comments you do, youāre great otherwise but I find the comments really draining.
he just messaged me and said āthanks for the feedbackā
I donāt feel bad about it - I need him to reflect on what heās been saying to me. I donāt need people making āfunnyā undermining comments to me, itās irritates me so much especially when all Iām trying to do is a good jobā¦..

I work at a GP surgery. One nurse in particular is so lazy and will do anything to get out of seeing her patients. She usually leaves patients sat there for ages while sheās sat on her phone in the hope that theyāll get up and leave out of frustration. She also is meant to order in injections from the pharmacy but she doesnāt do it on purpose so she then has to cancel her patients that were due in for injections. That said, she doesnāt cancel them, she gets the admin team to do it so they get shouted at instead.
We also have a doctor who refuses to park in the doctors space, as she says every time she parks there, someone scratches her car. So she parks in another space, but then when she has to go on home visits she has to get 3 of us to move our cars.
We also hire out one of our spare rooms to a talking therapies bloke, he comes in once a fortnight and cycles in. He traipses mud through the entire building.
Really bloody annoying

One place I worked, a lady went to get her lunch from the fridge one day, an M&S salad (not that it matters what it was but anyway) and someone had taken it.
You have to wonder at the thought process. Opening a communal fridge and just helping yourself to whatever takes your fancy. It's stealing, plain and simple.
I wonder if she had walked into the small coffee area where the fridge was, as they were tucking in, would they have pretended to think it was theirs.
