Dafuq?

sarawifenow · August 2014

Disclaimer: There is no point to this post except to just tell everyone about this weird as fuck situation I just dealt with...

One of the ceiling tiles in my storage room in my office cracked and fell down. I spoke with my building manager today and they sent out two maintenance people to fix it. They worked quickly and left.

About 2 minutes after they left, one of them comes back in and says, "I noticed you have some baseball caps in your storage room. Can I have a few of them?" WTF....number one: those caps are for my clients. Number two: they are in a box that is closed on a shelf so this person must have been going through the boxes. I just kind of looked at them and finally just said, "no I just ordered them for my clients last week. Sorry." They just turned and left. Again...wtf??

My building manager will certainly be getting a call about that one.

Has anyone else had a dafuq moment recently?

That is all.

Haha @lolo883, I am pretty sure that this was my exact reaction. Like 99.99% sure.

Ew, weird invasion of privacy!

When I worked in foster care we had offices in 3 different cities. One of those offices was where we held small group parent training. We would provide refreshments for training and the left overs would go in the fridge. Either to be used at the next training if it was soon or the staff could eat them. We noticed food was going missing so we added a security camera. Turns out the cleaning staff was helping themselves to the fridge. One of the guys was also taking the pop cans out of the trash (we assume to cash in on them) and stomping on them to make them smaller. This caused the remaining pop in them to go allover our carpeting.

People are so fucking weird. Walking to the parking lot after work yesterday, some guy asked me if he could borrow my umbrella (it was raining - I'm in a skirt in heels).

I was at lunch with some co-workers the other day. At one point, the waitress came up to the table to ask a question, and while she was talking she started rubbing my (female) co-worker's arms. They had never met before. We were all a little weirded out.

I stopped by a pharmacy for a pregnancy test. The girl at the register asks me "are you hoping for a yes or no? " I was shocked.

At my last job I organized my companies participation in trade shows (exhibit booths, promo items, marketing materials, etc.) When I would go to shows I would get the most bizarre requests. --Cleaning staff would ask for our promo items. --Someone would come around and ask "Can I have 17 more of these for the people back at the office?" --One conference in San Diego the wife of an attendee would repeatedly come through the hall and collect multiples of everyone promo items because she was a teacher and "needed" the supplies for her class room. That year we were giving away calculators and pens... Every day she came back and acted like she had never seen our stuff and asked for some. I just had to smile and say "Of course you can." I took it as a compliment that I ordered kick ass swag. Even the other vendors would come around and ask for stuff.

Someone went into my neighboring teacher's classroom, unplugged her computer from the power strip, and stole the power strip. Who does that?!?!

WinstonsGirl · August 2014

I had my power pencil sharpener go missing from the PE office on the last day of school. The plugs are behind the desk, which means someone had to move out desks at least a foot away from the wall to unplug it. Our desks are very heavy and barely move with 1 person. They really worked for this sharpener.

All of these stories have me like:

We have a creepy library customer. He is always staring at the women who work in the building and when I'm out in the library stacks, walking down where I'm working. He's routinely flooding the bathroom by flushing paper towels down the toilet, etc.

Monday night he checked out a study room key, then immediately locked himself out, so then I had to walk to the back of the library to let him back into the room. As I unlocked his door and opened it, he rubbed his hand over my hand on the handle. *shudder*. Then packs up his stuff and checks out of the room. I'm pretty sure he just checked out a room to lock himself out so he could get me back there to do something creepy to me.

This reminds me of a (partially true) joke in my office that the only way we get new office supplies is to steal them from conferences that we attend.

Holy shit, that is not okay!!

I think it's time to institute a "nobody goes near this creep alone" policy. Yikes.

Yes. This has already been unofficially officially instituted for me.

Yeah, I think this has officially crossed the line!

I am on the road this week for my job, and I parked at a clinic I was there to assess. Parking at this place is pretty limited, so I was driving my car around and found a spot. The spot in question was BRUTAL: The person beside the spot parked on a friggin' angle. No way in hell I was leaving my car beside this high risk IDGAF driver so I toured around and found a better spot.

Honestly, dude, did you just get out of your car, look at your shit parking job, and go "meh!"? Because holy hell, you need to check yourself!

Last month my boss and I went up to New England for a week to visit clients. Our main contact person had arranged for us to have meetings at a different office each morning (each an hour drive outside the city) and then more meetings at their headquarters in the city each afternoon.

So the night before our first meeting, boss and I are sitting in the hotel bar and she gets an email from the client that basically said, "Hey, I live right down the street from your hotel and it would be good if we could carpool. Here are the directions to my house. You can pick me up at 8:00." When she read it to me I was so appalled I almost choked on my wine.

Awkward. When I worked retail I always tried to be nonchalant when people bought pregnancy tests. No cute, happy smile, no questions, just ring it up like it was a box of advil.

Yeah. I called the store manager the next day and commented on it. The manager was appalled.

Last time I bought a pregnancy test I also bought a package of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I'm pretty sure I got talked about in the break room.

On Monday I stopped into school to drop off some things. The carpet had already been shampooed and just like last year they put all the furniture back on a SOAKING WET carpet (last year I caught it in time, but it still stunk to hight heaven). This year I moved a bookcase to find black mold. WTF?!? You don't have that much common sense to move the furniture across the hall or into the hall? My kids sit/work/lay on that floor and there's no way I could ever let them do that now.

Also, this thread reminds me of this.... http://www.buzzfeed.com/mrloganrhoades/38-yahoo-questions-that-will-destroy-your-faith-in-humanity EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

I always liked when I got to ring up combos like condoms and maple syrup.

I was a cashier for a few months, and it didn't occur to me until after my halloween shift was over that lots of people bought only eggs and shaving cream. Whoops.

We have two customers that drive everyone in our office batty. They both are always asking where their gifts are. They will pick random things up in our office and ask if we're giving that to them. They also will go through people's personal items and ask what we can give them.

Customer #1 came in at Christmas, and we gave him a $25 Starbucks gift card to thank him for working with us. He opened it and asked us why it wasn't for $50. (He is a small customer, so really, $25 was generous in the first place. Some customers only got $5). My coworker who gave him the card was so offended she took it back.

Customer #2 comes in often, and each time he comes in it is his "birthday." He always asks what we are giving him for his birthday.

My true DAFUQ moment came at work the other day when our sink wasn't draining properly and one of my coworkers took the frequently used toilet plunger to the kitchen sink. I flipped my lid.

Dafuq?
