Overheard at the office

"It's Thursday and I haven't changed my panties since Monday!" Yes, my coworker on the other side of the cubical wall just said that. Very loudly. It turns out she has these little magnets on her desk that look like day-of-the-week underwear, and she rotates them to remind her of what day it is. She has also invented silly little names for each day like "wide panty wednesday", "thong thursday" and "frilly friday".

What crazy things have you heard around your workplace?

    Wow.

    I am 1/3rd of an all-woman tech startup. We range in age from 35 (me) to 65 (a coworker). The boss is in the middle. We work in a shared space that has lots of other tech companies so pretty much everyone is at least 10 years younger than me. I hear a lot of stuff.

    I spent my lunch yesterday explaining to a girl why it wasn't a great career move to go home with yet another person in the shared space. *sigh

    @CLoGreenEyes I agree, but she keeps me entertained.

    So gross!

    Someone is clipping their nails in the office. I don't know the culprit but, it is making me have soooo much rage.

    Someone was clipping their nails on the train the other day. I wanted to slaughter them. So gross.

    Ewww Gross!! And why would you even say that out loud?? Surprisingly no one has uttered anything crazy this week. A few days ago my coworker kept saying (loudly) how she looked like a battered wife. She had fallen off the bed the night before.

    Today in the office a woman asked over the cubicles "is cornhole one word or two?" 

    In her defense - in Cincinnati Cornhole is a very popular game and not just a dirty slang...but it was priceless.

    A coworker of mine clips his nails in the office almost daily. The good thing about that is, if I tear my nails or get a snag, I always know he will have clippers.

    Oh! One of my co-workers bought new lipstick. The color is called "Heroine", but verbally sounds like "heroin". She when she's telling me "I got heroin this weekend" or "I'm going to bring heroin with me to the party" I got a REALLY shocked look on my face.

    The most recent one here was when the guys on my team were playing foosball about half an hour ago. One of them scored a goal shortly after their opponents and said, "Ha! Tit-for-tit, my friend." We all burst out laughing and I was like, "Sorry, dude -- I just can't get on board with that haha"

    My coworker told me he watches porn in his hotel room when he travels for business. I don't know if he was serious. He's very gross and I just added this gem to all the other reasons I can't stand him.

    That's exactly the context in which he said it! About how he asks the hotel check out staff to separate the charges to make sure he doesn't use our corporate card to pay for the porn.

    Well at least he's honest! My aunt said when she used to approve expense reports, people would try to expense things much worse than that.

    I'll play.

    a) Trusted coworker just told me he was so stressed from work drama the other day that he and another coworker got a pitcher of beer on lunch.  When I expressed dismay (it's a fireable offense!), he said, "Everyone does it," to which I replied, "So everyone can stab you in the back now that you're all competing for promotions."

    b) Got a video sent to me by a trusted coworker in another city's office.  Apparently a woman there had a wedding shower in a conference room... and 3 of the men showed up in police officer uniforms and danced (just danced, nothing more).  I'm sitting here thinking, if anyone pulled that on me in the office I would die inside. I don't even want that at my bachelorette party!
