Stupid Things Your Co-Workers Say

[GirlySports]

Within the last hour:

"I know you're leaving, but I need you to be on this call with the customer on Monday"

"--------"


A guy sends some documents out for scanning and gets the PDF back

"I got the PDF by email but where are my originals"

"They just scanned it to you, they probably still have it, should be here the next delivery"

"That's stupid, it should be here already"

-----

Oh and I overheard a girl totally put another guy on the spot by calling herself fat and seeing what his reaction will be.

I just had our shipper/reciever come upstairs flipping out because there was no shipping instructions on a work order and its a HUGE order, so shipping should be hundreds of dollars and we have NOTHING entered and HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN......I pointed to the word "continued....." on the bottom of the work order, turned the page and BA-BOOM!! Shipping instructions!! Wow! Look what happens when you turn the page!! No apology either, she just left. Effing cow.

"I'm not going to be able to set you up with computer access, you'll have to contact IT for that."

"I haven't met IT yet ... is he nice?"

"ummmm .... yes".


==========

This one happened yesterday. Not an idiotic thing to say, but really more of a stupid thing to say to somebody you need the help of. This was our email conversation

annoying: "Can you update my picture on the website?"

me: "Sure, I have a few things on my plate but I'll get on it right away"

annoying (10 minutes later): Can you update my picture on the website?

annoying (5 minutes later): Can you update my picture on the website?

me: I haven't forgotten about you, but as I said I have some things on my plate that were requested before yours so once I'm done with them I'll be sure to update your picture.

annoying: Oh ok. I was just confused I guess because you said you'd do it right away.

Let this be an important lesson to anybody who relies on somebody else in their work environment ... don't be a dick to your useful co-workers. What was a very simple job that could have been done on Wednesday will now be done end of day Friday because you pissed off the web guy and now he's going to surf CP all day instead of doing your stupid little photo edit.

"Geez Ken- how can you spend all day on that one website."

2 things on the phone:

1) answering with "Yyyeellllloooo".
2) finishing with "mmmmbye".

I once had a co-worker hand me a piece of paper with a phone number on it
"some lady called and wants you to call her back"

No contact name, nothing, just "some lady"
needless to say I didnt make the phone call

One mail co-worker to a female coworker

"Do you mind if I put this in your box?"

[ok, ok,....I get it]

When anyone busts out the Office Space quotes I get prepared to slay them with violence.

Yes, I work in an office, yes I thought that movie was hilarious too, yes I am about to stab you in the eye with an adding machine. These things happen, just go with it.

It was missdpuck.

"Gee calf, I didn't know you like rice"

Anything with the word "vision."

Oh, and also, Thought Leader.

[Gozer]

I've got a co-worker that responds to any true statement with "I know, right?"

Gets pretty old after a few months.

[Frank the Tank]

Two co-workers have their e-mail signatures set to drive everyone NUTS! One just says "ONWARD!" All caps too, just like that. The other one says "Keep your stick on the ice". So gay.

Two things I've learned since working in an office. Try to be nice to everyone. But be extra nice to the receptionists, IT and janitorial staff.
