Things you want to say (but shouldn't) outloud at work

No, I don't know where the scanner box is, I never had it. It was opened before the scanner was put into my office. You deal with the bank.

If you're going to eat lunch at your desk, please don't eat things that smell like an armpit. Thanks.

Why in the hell do I need to work 6 days a week? You only give me twenty hours! I live in BFE so it is just not economically sound to keep doing this. You are stupid.

I get that you think your child is special, but could you please stop harassing us as to when she is going to be moved up to the next class. You are driving us crazy.

Dear boss,

I don't know why you weren't up front as to what my rate of pay would be. Oh, I know.... maybe you thought I wouldn't take the job otherwise. Honestly, have you tried to live on what you are paying me? And why did you act offened when I asked for an advance? It's not like I wanted to, but it was either that or have my lights cut off.

For the love of sanity, will you PLEASE stop listening to your voicemail on your speakerphone? The whole unit does NOT need to hear your messages. And stop slamming your closet door shut. And you do not need to lock every damn drawer in your cubicle when you go to see clients. No one is interested in what's in your cubicle.

Why even have a policy if it isn't going to be enforced?

Just give me the damn checks so I can go make the deposit!

Just because our sick and vacation time banks are combined doesn't mean you should come to work deathly ill so that you can take the day after Thanksgiving off! You're going to make everybody else sick too!

To the lady in the next cubicle: If you're going to wear headphones all day, do NOT sing to your music out loud, do NOT have the volume up so high that you don't hear your phone ring so it rings off the hook all day and PUT YOUR CELL PHONE on vibrate! I'm tired of hearing your ringtones!

ETA: Thank you for going home at 2:00 pm after sitting in your cube moaning about how sick you are MOST OF THE DAY. YES, please go home, PLEASE!

I'm so mad I don't even have words. You're all a bunch of cowards and I hope you all rot in your own gossip pool.

You know, if you would do your job, it would be done the way you want it done. If you're not going to do it yourself, then don't bitch about the way someone else does it for you.

And to the person who did your job for you - stop it. Let him face the repercussions of not doing his job. If his advisee doesn't graduate because he didn't file a substitution form, then let him deal with his advisee (and her helimom).

And, finally, to advisee's helimom - your daughter is a senior in college. Dontcha think it's about time to cut the cord? Are you going to escort her to her interviews, too? (Sadly, I think the answer is yes.) Step back and let her grow up.

Sheesh.

Hey, ummm, so that was totally my seat, other intern. I've been sitting there for two weeks until you decided to move into our office. And the day you took my seat I was even HERE before you, but I was talking to our boss before I came into our office. And when I came in, there you were. I think you should be the one stuck at the end of the table with the table legs in your way, because THAT WAS MY SEAT!!!!

This redesign is NOT working. AT. ALL.
