This has made my day Iām really laughing - well done youWay back at the start of my career, a new manager came into our department and wanted to make their mark by ādriving efficiencyā. She requested that I complete a ātime logā each day detailing how long I spent on every activity I did so we could identify where I could potentially be more productive. Now I, a very productive employee, was mortally offended by this suggestion and completed log as follows:
9.00 - 9.02 arrive at desk and login
9.02 - 9.03 complete time log
9.03 - 9.04 answer phone
9.04 - 9.09 talk to customer about xyz
9.09 - 9.11 complete time log
Etc
11.10 - 11.12 walk to printer
11.12 - 11.13 print
11.13 - 11.15 walk back to desk
11.15 - 11.17 complete time log
Etc
to be extra helpful and show how committed I was to driving productivity and supporting our new managers goals, I ccād in the department head when I sent my time log through.
recommended efficiency saving from department head? Save employees approximately 60 - 90mins a day by eliminating time logs completely.
This is brilliantWhen I was in school, I was pushed off a climbing frame by a girl once in juniors and ended up with a thick lip and a black eye after my face hit the concrete. I never once forgot about it throughout my childhood and always knew I'd have my karma. We ended up at the same university. One night, we'd all gone out and we ended up in the university kitchen where the partying continued for a while, she fell asleep drunk and had brand new white trainers on so I broke the end off a pen and emptied the ink contents over her new trainers then went to bed with a smile on my face never did see her wear them again.
Youād change your mind if you knew herI love your aunt!
This is absolutely amazing!A place I used to work had a barber opposite it, that had a big sign that said
OPEN MONDAY'S
and it always annoyed me. One day I pointed it out to the proprietress, and she insisted that OPEN MONDAY'S was fine. When I pointed out where she was wrong, she went apeshit, saying that I obviously didn't know what the duck I was on about, and to shut my face.
So, I had a copy of Eats, Shoots & Leaves sent to her shop, and unfortunately I screwed up on postage and she ended up getting stung for Ā£1.79. She moaned and cried about this for a week, so eventually I posted her Ā£1.79 in pennies.
But OPEN MONDAY'S continued to haunt me.
Eventually, after some font research, I replaced her OPEN MONDAY'S sign with a practically identical OPEN MONDAYS. After two weeks she noticed, and again, went apeshit. Insisted on the replacement of her original sign. So I gave her a nice O'PEN M'ONDAY'S' sign, which she did not appreciate. The police were summoned. I have a lifetime ban from her establishment.
Chain it to your desk when you go homeI love the level of pettiness in this thread
Another one for me. Iāve got various issues with my hips, so at work have a specific chair. Itās nothing special, and thereās quite a few of the same chair on the floor.
Anyway, I labelled mine as DSE assessed, please donāt move. It moved ALL the time. And every time I made a point of finding it, and asking the person who has borrowed it for it back. Their usual response? But itās comfy. Yes , thatās why itās mine!
And yeah, Iām quite a lot more senior than most of the people who borrowed it
This is brilliantOne time a person on the Internet implied I may have been disproportionate or sociopathic, so I traced their home address and kicked over their wheelie bin.
You shouldāve grassed the other colleague up, she sounds like sheās got psychological problemsThere was a guy in an office I worked in who was the nemesis of the lady that sat next to him. They hated each other. When he left in the evening sheād adjust his chair. When he came in next day heād have a tantrum. I said to him one day if you stop having tantrums theyāll stop doing it (I didnāt grass the other colleague up). So he stopped reacting to his chair being changed. Then she started pinching his sweets, always family sized bags of Malteasers. She eat them while sitting right next to him.
The pair of them should have just shagged and been done with it
They were as bad as each other I just canāt think of the stuff heād do to her off the top of my head. Thereās no way I was getting involved. Both of them were friendly towards me, just not each other. Iām still in touch with them a couple of decades later. I actually asked to moved desks though not due to them it was another woman who was constantly on personal calls with epic Eastenders style arguing with family members.You shouldāve grassed the other colleague up, she sounds like sheās got psychological problems
its amazing that we tolerate, justify and laugh at a women doing things that we wouldnāt a man doing
We had similar at our office - they became known as the Phantom Shitter. They would regularly leave a smear across the cubicle wall. Several of us (unfairly as it turned out ) suspected a very large co worker who we thought might have been unwittingly smearing when she stood up to wipe* - the cubicles were pretty snug. But when another woman who was always super miserable left, it stopped. So we deduced it must have been her, and that the tit smearing was an expression of her dislike for us all! Bloody weirdo!Seems to be more common than you would hope. We had a similar 'Poogate' saga at my office too. Poo smeared all over the toilet cubicle on more than one occasion. Emails were sent, pleading signs were put up, to no effect. It was so grim, after about the 4th or 5th time they called a whole-office meeting (with the clearly upset female cleaners present) to plead with whoever it was to stop doing it. It did stop after that though, thankfully. . We always suspected it was the male cleaner who had had previous non poo-related allegations brought against him.
