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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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'.

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.

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.

Hey if you're printing a 30-page double-sided document that for some reason slows the printer to an almost complete standstill, I appreciate your initiative in printing it on another printer. I appreciate slightly less your leaving the original one still working away and then SENDING IT AGAIN and me having to point out to you about three times that it might be helpful for you to delete it from your print queue so the 50,000 other documents queued up for the past hour can be printed sometime this month.
