More bad office habits
 

It's Friday, so the guy in the cube across the aisle is clipping his nails. Do it at home!

Re: More bad office habits
 

Shoot the office up.

Re: More bad office habits
 

This is more weird than anything else. But this girl that works next to me put up probably like 6-8 pictures up on her desk. That isn't weird, but the fact that all of those pictures are of herself w/out anyone else in them mind you. Is a tad strange.

Not to mention her desktop background is another picture of her.

Who does that?

I did that once in college, just decorated my room with pictures of myself. I just did it to be a jackass though and make people ask why I had pictures of myself. I doubt this is her reason.

Someone very shallow who is most likely game for a "radical art" photoshoot.

Re: More bad office habits
 

Give me her e-mail address and I will ask her

Re: More bad office habits
 

Ok I will this afternoon. I am at home right now but will be in my office at 12:00. I don't know her address right off the top of my head.

Re: More bad office habits
 

Ok, PM it to me and I will post results if she replies.

This is why I love OOT...

Re: More bad office habits
 

Sometimes I clip my nails at the office, because if I don't I'll pick at them and it bugs me. I'll usually close the door though. Here's my top five bad office habits:

- Leaving that last bit of coffee on the burner so it will stink up the whole place. Either make another pot or take it off, lazy.

- Hovering people...they don't have anything to do, so they come stand by your desk. Of course, they also don't have anything to say. Either say something or go away...I'm busy posting on 2+2.

- People who don't get their print jobs after they print. So when I go to get my print job, it's mixed in with all this old stuff. Why did they even bother to print it if they're not going to use it?

- People who use speakerphone to dial because they're too lazy to pick up the handset. BEEP BEEP BOOP BEEP BEEP...just pick it up!

- People who shoulder surf or look at your monitor when you're gone. I was doing a training module one day, and a particular page had some photos of people on it. I left my computer unlocked, and when I came back, the receptionist was in my office looking at my monitor! WTF? "Well, I walked by, and it looked like you were on Match.com." "Did you think I'd click on your profile?" Yeesh. CTRL-ALT-DEL-ENTER. CTRL-ALT-DEL-ENTER.

I'd love to hear others...this is fun.

I can't tell you how pissed off this makes me. Only when I wanna OOT though. Which is all the time.

I don't know much about her, I think she is like 18 or something in college but working at this firm part time. I think the pictures she hung were probably her senior pictures becuase they are all outdoors and typical picture-like. I even think there may be a swing involved, ouch. But the picture on her computer is of her singing, it is a close up of her with a mic and maybe trying to hit a high note or something.

It is going to be hard not to laugh and she is right around the corner from my office in a cube. Or rather a half cube. Her cube is really just a desk they added to the side of another cube it is totally open and two attorneys offices are over there, so there are always alot of people walking by her desk.

Some background that I can tell is she is one of those girls at the office that talks alot and tries to be friends with everyone. She gave up on trying to talk to me, thank God, after all I did was mumble to her. It took a week of me just going, "memme" before she stopped.

And no she doesn't look good. She is thick, not fat but too thick you know what I mean and way too much makeup.

Yes, I hate this. It's like they think they are the only person around.

Oh, and OP. That's just sick.

Re: This is great
 

Awww, I'm feeling sorry for her now I know a little about her.

I'll never be hardcore OOT [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

On a similar note
 

No joke man. Annoys the S@#$ out of me. Thankfully I have an office, so they can't just look like they're meandering. They actually have to come in.

On a similar note, this isn't a habit, more of an observation. Do you have anyone in the office that can only relate to you on one topic? Every time you see them, it's the same thing. In my case, it's fantasy football. I wonder if we'd even talk if I didn't have a FF team. "Who should I start this week...Corey Dillon or Duce Staley?" "Who are you starting?" "What defense should I go with?" God forbid you try to talk about something else. I know he does other things, but all I get from him when I change the subject is a short one-line answer. Drives me nuts. Occasionally we can talk about Lobo football and basketball, but inevitably it goes back to FF. I wonder if he'll still be my friend when the season is over.

Has anyone ever found that girls that are really poor at makeup are either psycho, really wrong about their self-image (they think they're gorgeous and they really aren't), or both?

There's one guy in our office, he does this. It's nothing but things like, "Do you think I should have made this call, I know I didn't have pot odds, but he'll bet and call a raise on the river, so the implied odds ..... or I was on the bubble in this SnG and I had QJs with only Txxx left in the big blind and ....."

Oh, no, that was me, nevermind.

Man, I never knew this was that offensive to some people. Thank you for enlightening me. What makes it so offensive? Is it the sight or the sound? Would it be equally offensive if you were walking by and just saw someone clipping his nails, but you couldn't hear it because his office door was closed? What if you can't see the offender but you can definitely hear it and identify the sound? Now I'm curious.

I was gonna say it's mostly the sound. But then I pictured myself walking by your office with the door closed and just seeing you doing this through the window and I'm pretty sure my first thought would be...what the hell?? eww.

so I guess it's not just the sound.

Re: More bad office habits
 

You know, I read "clipping his nails" and I never even considered that we're talking about fingernails. I guess because I bite mine, which is probably considerably more disgusting.

Re: More bad office habits
 

I'd trade my hoverers for clippers any day. I hate em [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Err, maybe not toenail clippers though [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Re: On a similar note
 

There is this one woman who consistently asks me about the Cowboys game(I live in Dallas), despite me never having expressed an interest in the Cowboys and generally having a loathing for all Dallas sports teams, being a diehard Houston sports teams fan(I was born and raised there).

I give her a pass, though, because I think she's mentally challenged(literally, not just being mean).

fingernail clipping vs. biting
 

I've never been bothered by others clipping theirs in front of me. Maybe this will clarify my clipping habit. I'm a reformed biter. I used to bite my nails until they would bleed. Now I'm a picker / obsessive clipper. If I've got something to pick at, I'll clip it off immediately because I'm afraid I'll just bite it off...along with the rest of all my fingernails.

Okay, so I'll make more of an effort to clip them at home...maybe in the morning before I go to work. Thank you.

diebitter - yes, I'd much prefer clippers to hoverers. Didn't think of toenail clipping at work...that would be interesting lol.

Here's another semi-annoying office habit: people who take their shoes off under their desk while they're talking to you. I can understand occasionally taking your shoes off to rub your feet or get some air or whatever....when you're alone. But if I'm right there? Pretty please. With sugar on top. Keep your F@#$ing shoes on.

I only consider biting nails disgusting if I can hear your teeth hit together. I have strong sensitivity toward audio. I once sat in a meeting with 3 other people and 2 of them were doing it. It didn't bother me a bit. I noticed only cuz I wonder what people think when they see me biting mine.

Another thing I hate is when girls file their nails in my car. Thanks for the nail dust!

Re: More bad office habits
 

Ok boys I am at work now, homegirl is gone right now, hopefully for lunch. I am just hoping she is working today because she works PT and has funky hours. I will report back if she makes it.

Re: More bad office habits
 

I wish I could show up to work at 1. bastard

Re: More bad office habits
 

Yeah but I get paid what I deserve.

Re: On a similar note
 

I sit next to a girl who a.) gets up from her desk every 2 minutes b.) must have a non-work-related conversation at least one person on every away-from-desk trip c.) spends 99% of her time on the phone when she is at her desk.
