What are your pet peeves? - Page 14

Kevy Baby · 08-17-2006, 12:52 PM

Though I don't know it for a fact, I believe the folded top juice/milk/etc. carton has an economic advantage (read: it's cheaper). However, people have probably complained about the openability of the folded tops (if the glue isn't "just right", they don't open easily) and the screw top is probably preferred.

The inner seal is there for anti-tampering. No it is not a fail-safe solution, but it significantly lowers the probablity of the casual mischief-maker doing anything.

Or should I just shut up and let you bitch in peace?

I would probably stand up in my cube and scream "I'M TRYING TO WORK HERE!"

I don't like the cartons with the screw tops on the side because sooner or later I need the flap at leas 3/4 of the way open. I use the cartons (which are getting harder to find) for the girls. They sleep in them.

I hate having icky sinuses. I am battleing another infection. Luckily my mom keeps me supplied with anitbiotics.

It just becomes a tug of war. I turn them back on, she stomps down and turns them off. I'm a pawn in a literal turf war. there's not enough office space and the other department feels like they own this floor, and the building manager is on their side. There are just three of us in one small portion of prime, right on red square, with giant windows, real estate and they other floor residents would like us to leave. Usually I don't care because the large windows let in enough light, but this morning it was quite overcast and I didn't have enough light for what I was doing. I just count the months until graduation and hope flunky slips on a ball bearing while walking back to her office with a false sense of triumph.

Perhaps you should bring in a giant-size container of jawbreakers and... OOPS, it broke right in front of her office door and maintenance hasn't had a chance to come clean them up yet.

Prudence,

I'm assuming that your company has a Risk Management Department. Contact them and report it as a safety violation.

Hel-lo? You're supposed to let me (the bitch) bitch in peace.

Okay, this is a stab in the dark but here goes... I used to have a lot of sinus infections. A lot. Then I found a really great ENT doctor. She told me I had a devated septum and it was causing sinus infections. Do you have that?

Ya, what he said.

A pet peeve - yes, we know the system is down. We sent a company wide email that the system is down. Please don't call/email/sumbit a ticket saying the system is down after we tell you it is down.

Thank you.

Folks who don't push their chairs back in after getting up from the table. This is especially annoying when in an area with limited space, like a break room.

Any chance of going for a compromise position and asking for a lamp?
