Minor annoyances. Add your own.

[cville]

1. Why do people talk constantly during presentations? Even if your endless chatter is about the topic NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR YOU. Talk later. Listen now. Your sideshow comments are making me crazy. Oh? You dealt with that in 2002 and want everyone in the immediate four-person area to know that? STILL DON'T CARE.

2. Why does this paralegal DRENCH herself in perfume? It's making me nauseated. She's now ruined Michael Kors for me, which I used to love.

3. Why don't some of my clients keep me in the loop? I'm full on fucking Jerry McGuire here--help ME help YOU. If you tell me what is going down, I CAN HELP YOU. I AM, IN FACT, PAID TO DO NOTHING BUT HELP YOU. Upside: job security.

Mine:  Why would someone offer something to you, have you accept, and then mention that someone else was already interested in the stuff, but that they just wanted to check with you first? Are you then supposed to say, "Well, I guess if they wanted it first, they can have it?" But then why offer it?!

My hair and humidity are not friends, and it's "humid" here. (In quotes because it's CA humid, not Southern humid or anything.)

[RoxMonster]

Why are you turning left out of the McDonald's parking lot in the lane intended for people to turn into the lot? And on a busy road? Now no one can get into McDonald's until you can turn out AND I AM HUNGRY.

(This happened several minutes ago. I am not GBNCing and driving. I am finally enjoying my delicious fries).

Yesterday I was told I had to work Friday, so I actually have quite a bit going on to do. Today I was told it's optional. By the same person.

When I walked outside today, I noticed that our gutter came loose on the corner of our house. We just finished extensive work on the lower level. Can we ever just get one thing done and not have another thing pop up on this house? Grrrr.

Also, as a side note, I have no idea who I call to repair fascia boards and gutters. Any ideas anyone?

[Elsa]

I have the first-est first world problem.


The home button on my work ipad isn't working, and makes it almost unusable. Its so frustrating.

Our roofers did ours.

Why did you ask me into your office for an update if you were just going to stare at your computer the entire time I was debriefing you? I felt like I was thanking the Academy and the music was playing and I had to hurry up and get to the part where I thank mom and God before they cut to commercial. WTF.

Furthermore, why is the bottle of wine I bought you as a thank you still on your desk? You drink. Why are you not drinking my wine?

I have a co-worker that smells like garbage that's been sitting in the sun. You can smell her from 3 cubicles away. I can tell that she rarely showers because her hair looks dirty.

Is this a suck it up and MYOB issue or is it a report the odor to someone up above? It's bad.

[cuddlyevil]

I'm listening to a radio presenter with the most irritating accent ever. Not all British accents are attractive.

[nsl]

I forgot to replace the bottle of expired Tylenol I threw out last month and now I have a headache. H would probably run to Walgreen's to get some for me, but that would require me to get out of bed, walk down the hall, and ask him.

I would say something to HR.

Hot flashes. Ugh.

[pittsmcgee]

I am all for doing what I can do get further in the company and earn a raise and all that jazz, but the fact that I was voted to be team leader of this group when I don't even understand what you want us to do is really making my work weeks insufferable.
I now have 4 extra meetings every week. I CAN'T.

Thank you, I really needed a second opinion from someone outside the office.  I really didn't want to bring it up with any co-workers.  HR might be the way to go.

Do you work with clients at all? It's unprofessional, but maybe some (HR?) could address the company as a whole about professional appearances (including body odor) and not just out her.

I'm sure she knows, and it's embarrassing, but it needs to be addressed if it's creating a problem in the workplace.

No we work in a closed office where you need a badge to unlock the doors. Any guests are checked in and escorted to where they need to go.  Addressing the group might be a good idea....we do have meetings that sometimes go over the updated dress code.

I have headache, there is a fly in the house, and DS is two. All of this is since lunch ended 5 minutes ago. My head hurts too much to care right now.

[1confused1]

My wonderful children woke me up 3 times last night. I'm fucking exhausted. I don't have the patience for what work is throwing at me. And no, mother, I will not drive 20 minutes to your house in the middle of my work day to see if your house cleaner left one fucking light on.

I need a drink.

I've been having stress dreams for a couple of weeks. For example:

– Our dog was rabid and attacked me. I had to take him to the pound to be shot
– My teeth were cracking into little bits and falling out of my mouth. I tried to catch the pieces so the dentist could put them back together, but my hands filled up and overflowed.
– Etc.

Must be headache day. I have a tiny one over my eye that hurts just enough that I want to punch things.

Ugh! I used to have this dream a lot, and my dentist warned me that my gums were showing signs of clenching.  Take some calcium & magnesium supplements before bed; if you're clenching or grinding your teeth in your sleep this can help relax your jaw and make you dream of having sex with inappropriate people instead.

Hey sewf, who's that KID in your picture? What happened to your baby??!?

OMG, I KNOW! He's almost 2 1/2, and H and I have been talking about having another. It's crazy.

We moved into an open office space about a month ago. A co-worker who sits on the other side of a cube wall is constantly eating something that's super crunchy and it's like hearing nails on a chalkboard. I want to scream, "Are you chewing fucking rocks?!"

[franklin]

I have two that both involve dumb people and work.

1. I walked out on the floor and saw somebody made a shipping and receiving sign, spelled - I shit you not - shiping and rev'c

2. We have electronic deposit which occurs every other Wednesday, I was just asked to print out paystubs for people because they "don't have access" or "don't know how" to view them electronically. Yes you do, I walked you through it multiple times and you're allowed time - on the clock - to use a computer in house to view them.

[margotmacomber]

I have to break up with the babysitter we were going to use twice a week over the summer and I don't want to because awkward.

Tomorrow my house will be invaded with 2 house guests for TEN DAYS and one of them is a 21 year old female.  Kill me now.

[emcme22]

Also some totally first world problems but there still driving me crazy haha

1. My iPhone won't loud pictures onto my iPhoto anymore. The only way I can do it is through hooking my computer up to iPhoto which is a pain, although just leaving it that way instead of undoing would prob be easier.

2. One of my recent fillings won't stop squeaking and it's driving me crazy and giving me a headache. Also I found out there going to turn black. So I'm going to have a mouth full of 8 black fillings. Yuck
