Work FFF

mwhitson14

I flame my lazy ass coworker for sitting there and doing nothing even when he's directly asked for help.

I flame the patron that wanted books on rat terriers, but refused to look through dog breed books to find the info. She wanted books only on rat terriers. It's not that hard to look heifer!

I flame the patron that bitched from the second he walked in the door about how hot it was in here, while wearing two large overcoats, gloves, and a hat. We're the ones who have to work here, take a layer off!

Now you go.

bbyckes

I flame all the people like my manager who decided to stay home from work today because a couple of snow flurries fell from the sky and stuck.  It's not that serious and I dragged my asss outta bed and made it in.  You just suck.

I should have worn jeans today because no one would have said a damn thing to me. 

Nebb

I feel descriminated against right now. I flame whit for being insensitive :P

Stackeye210

I flame this guy who for the past 3 winters FOR THE ENTIRE WINTER comes in every morning and says, "spring is in the air".  You're not clever, it's not funny. 

ring_pop

I have a coworker who's super sweet, soft spoken, and shorter and smaller than me (I'm 5'3"). And she walks like an elephant! How can someone so small walk so loudly?

laurenclaire1386

I flame my bosses for paying their kids' significant others to do totally meaningless jobs. I get paid the same as them and I actually contribute something.

mwhitson14

Ugh, spring is NOT in the air! They did a spring special on my local news this morning, and I was like WTF?! Spring fashions, etc.

Nebb. Me, insensitive? Noooo.

WildRumpus

I flame my supervisor for asking me to come in early this morning, only to find out we were overstaffed.

I flame my supervisor again for not sending home the kid that puked and had 2 DISGUSTING diapers yesterday.

I flame my supervisor's supervisor for being too cheap to plow the entire parking lot.

I flame Nebb for flaming Whit for being insensitive and discriminating before I could.

I flame places with ridiculous online applications that take 5 hours.

I mean how many times can you pretend laugh in someone's face?  I avoid him just for this specific reason.

YaPuppy

I flame my boss for laughing this morning while informing me and a coworker that "our worlds would so change" and not telling us how when or why

I flame my company for going to war with food network and hgtv.  It's resulted in no more of either channel, and many many people angry at me for something completely out of my control

I pretty much flame everything with work these days!

Nebb

I flame places that give me attitude in a phone interview and imply I suck with their questions, and then interupt me while im talking. Why the fuuck did you even bother calling me then, if you had obvious issues with my resume or my history.

RachNRich

I flame my boss (who is also a prof of mine, and my advisor) for calling me at home yesterday to read me an email from the Dean that explained that someone(s) in my cohort went strait to the Dean to complain about our PhD program---and then he asked me who had done it.
1.) I don't know.
2.) If I did know, I wouldn't rat them out.
3). The program DOES suck...why do you think people are complaining?

I will flame him again for telling me my #1 job is to get well right now (which is great, because my holiday vacation is still going on until Monday), and then sending me 8 emails full of things he wants me to do.
1) save the emails/work til I return.
2) I hate you.

Soooo, your company is to blame.  I heard about this on NPR (sorry, Brie) :)

Brie2010

I flame the entire administration for not being clear about who needs to come in when because of the snow.

I flame all the smokers, because they are NEVER there when I need them to do their job.  Their smoke breaks are ridiculously long and frequent and they get really annoyed if you ask a question right before they're supposed to "go out."  Yeah, I Knot at work, but I am at least at my desk and available immediately if you need me.

MeaghanandMichael

Ok yeah, what is WITH people being so compeltely psycho over this. I know people like the channels, but it is freakin TV people. Get a life.


I flame the fact that I don't make 10% of what my boss makes and I basically do his job. You don't even want to know what this guy makes....

julezlee

I flame whoever just took my freakin' bowl out of the sink and is now using it.  Real nice of them to leave me my fork though. <sarcasm>

ggmae

I flame my coworkers who make sexual references in the classroom. Around young students. Totally inappropriate.

punkyb2b

I flame the guy i workedwith once who had gastric bypass but ate himself back up to being 300 pounds overweight. He cant have veggies cause they dont agree with hisstomach.  But a huge stack ofpancakes with extra butter? not a problem.

[Deleted User]

I flame my boss for not learning a *little* bit about his own job.  I get it, right now I'm his personal secretary, but when I'm not here (and my last day is in 3 days!!) he needs to know what to do until he finds a replacement.  The other day, he asked where I had a form he needed a client to sign, I started to explain to him my pending file and where it was.  He interrupted me and walked away like he didn't care so when the client came in to sign he had no idea where it was.  He made them come all the way back when I was back from lunch so I could show him where the form was.  Stuff like this happens everyday. 

georgia_bride09

I flame all the people in my office who throw liquid in the trash. We have sign posted EVERYWHERE that say "Do Not Put Liquids In Trash". I just had to help my supervisor take a week's worth of trash outside (which was quite an endeavor), and we both got nasty mystery liquid on our hands. I'm shuddering right now just thinking about it. At least I work ratty clothes today since I knew I'd be cleaning (we're prepping for an inspection). My boss, not so much. She wore actual work clothes.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

I flame the email I got this morning telling us we should give $3 to one of the managers if we feel like it because it's another manager's birthday today. Then said email sending manager will go out and buy a gift card at lunch. Uh, she's worked here for 4 years. It's Friday. You knew her birthday was coming up. Who the hell keeps $3 in cash on them? What a random amount.

Brie2010

I flame the woman who keeps three gallons of orange juice in our community fridge, and the guy who keeps two Costco cases of yogurt in there too.  We have one freaking fridge for 20 people.  Keep your damn yogurt at home.

I hate when people at work try to collect money for stuff, especially gifts for managers, and you feel like you have to give. 

mwhitson14

Ewww georgia!!

betrothed123

I flame all of my coworkers who took the whole week off, without any notice.  There are 5 of us here today, I've been pulling tons of overtime, and now I have extra work to do because you were too lazy to come in.  Fucck you, douches!

kate51485

I flame the lady next to me because she smokes and every damn time she comes in from a smoke break and walks past my cube to get to hers, I get a HUGE whiff of nasty disgusting smoke.  If you want to smoke go ahead, I think it's absolutely ignorant, but it's not my business.  Don't make me share in your habit.

This idea was from Stackeye's post that got deleted:
I also flame the guy who will NEVER shut up and constantly says "Holy ____, Batman!"  Yesterday it was holy macaroni and cheese whiz.  He comes up with new variations every day.  He also shares the Duggars' notions on childbirth and talks about religion EVERY day.  Today's diatribe was how he'll never watch the DaVinci Code movie or read the books because he refuses to give profit to Dan Brown, who is a heretic and spreads blasphemy. 

kkchisholm

I am shocked by my 16 year old client/student who is a soph in HS and got "engaged" over the weeked to her boyfriend of 2 months.

ggmae

I flame myself for calling in sick today when I'm really not that sick. Oops.

mwhitson14

Oooh gg!

tlv204

I'm going to have to continue my complaint from last night and flame the weather for making me lose a crap load of money.
