Let's bitch about our stupid, annoying co-workers

Do you know the headache-sufferer?

I do, and she is a really great co-worker and one of the least complainy type people I've ever worked with. There has been no further updates, so I'm wondering if HR or a partner stepped in. Or maybe its just simmering and we'll be treated to a full-blown microwave popcorn related freak-out that culminates in something flying out of a window.

Do you think she really gets headaches or is she just tired of it like you.

Who is fanning the flames? I mean, I am, in spirit, but I think that co-worker and jvc should respectfully but firmly stand up to the popcorn fiend.

I've heard of dietary requirements and pesky food and chemical allergies but sheesh....I can't stand these litigious types. I mean I have a relative with serious (and sometimes downright annoying) food allergies but not to the point of driving people NUTS.

Like I said, someone has a psychological problem and it should be dealt with gently at first.

full-blown microwave popcorn related freak-out that culminates in something flying out of a window.

It should be the microwave itself imo

would like to see the full text of the email, actually.

I do love the idea of antipopcornism being Unconstitutional.

Thank God for jvc and coworkers that the USA has not adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Eleanor Roosevelt was overreaching when she insisted on smelly snacks being a natural right.

why the fuck must everyone blabber outside my office door

The partner who shits everywhere also can't make coffee. Every time he makes the coffee, the filter collapses and there the coffee is full of grounds. I don't understand why this happens - it's not complicated.

It's his constitutional right to make shit coffee, STALIN.

Why isn't this thread on 77? I wouldn't say anything that could be found on the internet, but still.

i bring my own thermos - I am above these simple muck drinkers, reeking in their own filth!

I have things to say about things but I can't say them here. This is a problem for me.

just think them at us

oh i have been

Je55e, go ahead and start privacy-protected co-worker bitching thread on 77 to go along with this one!

There's that 'slowly retail will kill you' one

or you could come up with a genius impossible-to-trace internet persona.
thermo thinwall is taken.

Haha well, I went from Jesse to Je55e, but I'm worried that that code could be broken.

My secret anecdotes aren't really that interesting, but I want to bitch. I'm bitching via email instead.

Either stop sucking your fucking teeth and making stupid clicky noises, or visit the fucking dentist, for fuck's fucking sake.

Seriously, I don't know why or how his mouth is making this noise every 30 seconds.

i'm kind of curious, i don't really know what sucking your teeth would involve or sound or look like. i'm imagining a relation to that thing old people do where it looks like they're chewing when they're not. whatever that is.

dentures?

It's a bit like the noise made when you're sucking on a boiled sweet and moving it around inside your mouth, but without the boiled sweet.

How's the popcorn sitch, jvc??

^^^this is important

I think he said she's on vacation?

Oh, I guess I missed that.

My boss just popped a bag of popcorn. But that's fine b/c a) she very rarely does that and b) I have anosmia, so she could slow roast pig manure and I wouldn't know the difference.

did you just put a shower head on full over the yoilet or did you pee?

Email to office reminding people to wash dishes, etc... From the person who least frequently washes dishes...

use paper plates duh!

The popcorn girl is obviously a total idiot; but it can't be overlooked that "the smell of popcorn gives me headaches" is some fucking straight-no-chaser liar liar bullshit.

what about kettle corn

reminds me of the girl in my senior class who had terrible body odor, so one of my classmates had his mother report to the administration that her stink was giving him asthma attacks

why doesn't she just pop a ton of corn at home and bring it to work in bags?

Because cold popcorn tastes awful?

no, i'm pretty sure that if i had to smell burnt popcorn every day, i'd have headaches, too.

seems like this thread has been talking abt popcorn for circa a year and a half, that ain't natural

Jvc has abandoned us. Or he's in the ICU, being treated for acute popcorn poisoning.

the dreaded popcorn lung

My coworker has been talking to himself all morning (as he does) and just announced "talking to a brick wall."

Unfortunately there's nothing new to report, never heard any further word from either supposed headache victim or popcorn lung sufferer.

Is she still popping corn?

imo you gotta start eating cabbage and beans for breakfast everyday, move your desk closer to hers, and when she starts complaining about the headaches your flatulence is giving her, start yelling 'IT'S MY GODDAMN CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO FART WHERE I LIKE'.

lol ^^^

This week she's backed down to only once a day, thankfully.

the worst is when you put the unpopped kernals IN your lungs and then go through security at the airport and you get hyperpneumopopcornia

Okay, popcorn girl has instantly been knocked off the top of my most annoying list and replaced by whomever decided to heat up a foul-smelling fish meal in the microwave. Who does that? It smells like death in here now.

Maybe it's her trying to stop being annoying, be careful what you wish for and all that?

jon, the popcorn girl in our office microwaved fish on friday, which she helpfully and apologetically explained to my boss that she tried to cover up the smell in the kitchen by spraying room deoderizer. I declined to go check it out.

No, this wasn't the same girl actually.
