I dont know why this bugs me... (add yours)

[salsaverde]

I don't know why this bugs me... but it bugs me so much when I print something and someone delivers it to me. If I go to the printer to pick something I printed up, I just ignore everything else on the printer. I don't make it my personal mission to deliver everything on the printer. I am still printing other documents and will pick them up all at once!!

This morning I printed a Gap return label, store coupons for Fresh and Easy + a customer letter, so this chick was all in my beeswax.

I know I sound like a brat.

I dislike when people leave their stuff on the printer, so perhaps she was being passive aggressive? (I just fume about it internally and I know it's probably irrational, but whatever).

I don't know why it bugs me, but I hate when my coworkers come in to my cube and dig around. I know I'm the newbie but generally I think it's best to ask me "do you know where X is?" before just popping open drawers in my defined cube area.

This has nothing to do with being a newbie. Its HELLA rude. Its YOUR space and you are SITTING right there! Not to mention you could probably find it 10x faster. I had a CW for awhile who would just come and poke around in the stuff on my L-table for no reason than she was CURIOUS!! Its not like it was private information but its distracting and there's no reason for it and its rude.

Yeah, I immediately go to the printer for personal stuff. I try to hold off until Thursday afternoons when I'm in the room directly next to the color printer if I need to print color (I pay for it out of my budget lol). We have a b&w printer next to my desk and there are all of 6 people who print to it and it drives me crazy when people print and leave it there for more than 10 minutes. I have stuff sitting over here that's been here weeks!

And no, do not come into my cube. I almost had a fit because I came in to work one day and found someone's iPhone sitting above my keyboard where one would sit a phone while they used the computer and no one should be on my computer but me (everyone has their own!). But turns out the cleaning crew found it and thought it was mine.

My current work bug is that people can't keep their noses out of other people's business and have gone and tattled to someone about what a third person is doing. You do you and don't worry about me, okay?

I hate people who host conference calls to get ideas and then ignore all ideas that are not their own. Stop wasting my time.

I and most of my coworkers print the occasional personal thing at work and nobody throws shade on anybody for printing that or delivering it. I would have delivered your coupons and letter and then asked if there was anything good on sale at Gap right now to go look at?

I get annoyed when there's a conference call that includes a bunch of directors whose offices are side by side, all the way down the hall. They'll put the call on speaker and leave their office doors open, so there's this constant echo down the hall for an hour.

The printer thing bugs me too! Mainly because if I haven't picked it up I am still printing items for whatever I am working on. So I will be walking over there in a couple minutes. You don't need to walk into my cube and give it me. Leave me alone!

This will make me sound like a total asshole, but here it is...

I take the same train home from work every night. This other guy takes the same train as me. This is a normal commuter train, taking people 30 minutes into the city from the suburbs. EVERY DAY his wife and two kids (like 8 and 10 years old) are waiting for him at the train station. Every day when he gets off the train they greet him by jumping up and down, screaming, hugging him, acting like he's home from the war. Seriously, every day. And I'm glad they're a happy family and all that, but on the other hand it's just a bit much. Dude worked in an office for eight hours...can you save the ticker tape parade for when he gets home?

Yeah, I'm a jerk who hates sunshine and happiness.
