when people come into the office reeking of smoke

when people take smoke breaks all day long...do I get a break every hour to go do something I find relaxing? like reading a book? I'll just take off and be back in like 5-10 mins. . .you'll find me reading a book and enjoying some peace and quiet outside on a bench.

I find gossiping about what other women are wearing and whether or not it is or is not too revealing to be unprofessional.

I do this on my lunch sometimes. How else am I supposed to get a hold of my doctor's, dentist's, vet's, or other offices that are only open the exact same business hours that I work?

Noooo, not like that. Meant people who spend the majority of their time taking care of their own personal business, including relaxing and napping on the company dime, and only actually do work maybe twenty percent of the time.

Women who think they're back in high school and form cliques. I was out of the office for a decade; I'm back now and witnessing 40-somethings who still do that sh&t. Must be nice to have all that time on your hands!

People who are seriously batshit crazy and twist everything/lie through their teeth/manipulate to get away with being a lazy, incompetent rude piece of shit.

He announced his presence by proclaiming his sinuses are acting up so I've been treated to non-stop LOUD nose blowing and throat clearing for the past half hour. I'm shocked that anyone can have that much mucus, I swear he's probably a pound lighter than when he came in. Our admin couldn't take it anymore, she went to "check on something in the mail room"

Listening to that is torture!

i find that disgusting. eat outside or in the cafeteria. hate having to smell 50 different kinds of food in teh work area.

we aren't animals.

Now this is just dumb.

Why don't YOU go outside since it bothers you so much. What about places that dont have a cafeteria (like my job) and the fact that its 30 degrees outside? So I am supposed to be uncomfortable because of you?

Yeah we pretty much all eat at our desks in my office. There is no cafeteria and there are no tables or chairs in the kitchen. Most of us bring lunch every day.

I understand your point of view. But I have to say as a former smoker in the workplace, I got twice as much done when I was smoking. I know it's hard to believe but I guess the nicotine really gave me a lot of energy.
