Ten minutes before every meeting -- "You know you have a meeting with John Jones? It's in ten minutes."

After the meeting "How'd the meeting with John Jones go? Was the conference room okay?"


Uh. That sounds...what's the word...helpful?

And yes I'm the OP of the "is it unhealthy sitting next to a bathroom all day" thread


You seem to be very, very interested in poop.



Hahaha I'm not I swear! But you try sitting basically up against the bathroom wall. It's very unpleasant. It's just become a part of my daily life


Hey bathroom wall sitter, you should write a blog about it. It would probably be hilarious.

What's wrong with this?! This is way better than the type of admin who gets irritated when you ask them to do anything. I'll trade you!

People who come to meetings and don't turn their phones off or on silent. had a woman today who's phone kept pinging with text message and she just looked at her phone like she had no idea how to turn it off. She did finally lower the volume but you could still hear it ring.

The kicker is that it isn't even a work phone so you know the messages/calls are personal.

Jewel clips hers onstage if they hinder her playing. It's not like she's farting (hel-LO Barney Frank) or picking her nose


Several years ago, after a big round of layoffs, I inherited a nice corner office of a former director. He had left in a bit of a rush, taken what he needed out of his desk and left the rest. I was cleaning it out, making sure we didn't throw out any important documents when I came across his NAIL CLIPPING DRAWER. The man had been there for 10+ years and had clipped his nails and what appeared to be toenails into a drawer the whole time. It was covered half an inch thick in clippings! The worst part is that the drawer could not be removed and dumped out. I was not about to scoop them out and ended up calling the maintenance crew to clean it up with a vacuum. Even after dousing the thing with lysol, I was never able to even touch that drawer again.

People are gross.


OMG I would have asked for a different desk.


This is so disgusting. Think of the nails that got away from him that are lingering behind the desk and in nooks and crannys around the room. So gross.

I had a very sweet female coworker who had a similar problem. She also liked to stand close to whoever she was talking to and you could smell her strong feminine BO smell.

This is truly awful. I can't imagine being slapped in the face by pussy smell every day from my coworker. I envision the stench wafting through the air, Breaking through the wall of your cubicle and yelling at you "oh yeah" like the Kool-Aid man.
