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

I mean, seriously. That's too much popcorn. Your only hope is that she contracts diverticulitis.

Does she eat anything else? Are these the 100 calorie light popcorn bags? Maybe she has an eating disorder.

oh she definitely has an eating disorder

I've never seen her eat anything else at the office, she never leaves for lunch. Just the popcorn.

She basically shouldn't still be ALIVE.

need stealthy pic of her eating.

Maybe she'll get scurvy, lose teeth, and be unable to chew anymore popcorn.

you should try to wean her onto more appropriate corn-based meals as a way to convert her to real food. like make her grits for breakfast, for example.

Well now I want this "how long to die of malnutrition" experiment to continue why because it look intersteing.

the popcorn diet

Because I'm dumb enough to be using my real (but very common) name, I always half-expect revives here to be my co-workers finsing me out.

Find a well throw her in it then bury her in popcorn.
Only flaw is she may eat her way out and tell police or HR on you.

Tried to find pic of Lucy Liubots eating way out of popcorn and spitting it at everyone but failed.

i've given up on having a good day this month. every day in the past two weeks has begun with something annoying or infuriating. the only saving grace has been the texts my new ladyfriend has sent each morning wishing me a good day, otherwise I'd flip out.

course once I leave work everything's fine!

Does that mean you bring a bad energy and tension level to the workplace that makes things flip out?

four years ago, yea that would have been true. but generally once I get home and recharge I forget the events of the day, and I've arrived here in pretty high spirits 4-5 days in a row only to have it dashed by things that have generally occurred in the first half hour.

It won't last forever, everything is cyclical, it's jsut frustrating.

Okay, I am putting way more energy into thinking and posting about this than I should, but its getting too incredulous to not document. She left the office at about 12:15 today and I was thinking, "wow, she is actually going out to get lunch... good for her". That is until she came back with six huge boxes of individual microwave popcorn packets. Maybe she is just super cheap?

At this point I would just say to her "you are a walking science experiment to me. Do you take a multivitamin? Is this a diet or just OCD behavior? Tell me about your life" and hope that the attention rattles her enough to quit eating that shit at work.

I thought about having some popcorn the other night, thought about this thread and had some ice cream instead.

ha ha!

ain't gonna lie, went to microwave my food at lunch and saw a chick with just a bag of popcorn (which is forbidden to be popped on this floor) and I thought maybe yer employee got fired and got a job here....

i am feeling much better from earlier. management had my back on something when I needed them to and it really turned the day around

You guys she had soup for lunch!

popcorn soup?

that's like methadone for popcorn eaters

was it corn chowder

Not sure what kind it was, wasn't close enough to determine that. It did not have any distinct smell, that I can tell you.

what do popcorn farts smell like btw

orville redenbackers asshole.

am i at work, or in a playground ?

WHO THE FCK KNOWS ANYMORE!

jon I recommend u get an mp3 of the song "popcorn" and play it on repeat, til she gets it.

PS this may never happen so be prepared to go mental.

stick with chiptunes. there is an infinite variety of popcorn chiptunes for some reason.

Guys she ate J1mmy J0hn's yesterday. And zero bags of popcorn that I saw. Breakthrough? Temporary diversion? Stay tuned.

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

Still doing this. Every 30 seconds for eight hours a day. Cunt.

get a power washer and blast her mouth.

hey boss how the fuck am i supposed to calculate how much coffee we waste?

Hahaha, and she's back. Third bag so far today!

she's got a popcorn fetish.

why do some people insist on having extremely personal conversations at their desk, and not the courtesy phones in private areas...and while they're doing so, not even make an attempt to do so quietly or soften their voice.

it's distracting, it's uncomfortable, it's rude, and yet my boss, when I mentioned it to him, basically said that if it were him he'd just ignore it and that he didn't think it was a big deal.

well, when I hear someone either sobbing, yelling, or telling someone to "go to Hell and burn", it tends to draw my attention away from what I'm doing!

document them, end to end and word by word, and forward copies to both your boss and the offenders

at least it wasnt a conversation about butt sex

I didn't transcribe them as that would bring on claims of eavesdropping, but I definitely documented and complained to my manager. Other people on the team have complained to me but just didn't feel like doing anything about it.

My manager basically said he didn't think it was a big deal, and that he could bring it up with her, but then she'd figure out who reported it, insinuating that he'd be willingly setting me up for retaliation.

I need a manager who doesn't have such a myopic view on things.

you need to get everyone else who complained on board and documented with going to the manager, and if he still won't do anything go to his manager

document them, end to end and word by word, and forward copies to both your boss and the offenders

I can understand how you wouldn't want to have to overhear such a conversation, but honestly this would pretty much be a dick move to pull on someone that is obviously already going through a painful situation (at least, I'd assume so given that language).

my old co-worker used to do that all the time. Except scream at his mother in Polish. Not cool. It was funny once.

I envision San Te's office environment like those old monster.com commercials that depicted the entire office staff other than the job seeker as poo flinging monkeys.

Lol it's not quite that bad. Not QUITE

I'm surprised your boss isnt concerned she's having personal calls on work time?

Heh there's that, too. She's on the phone with personal calls for hours a day

Uuugh dude if you're so sick you can't string a sentence together because you are violently coughing up phlegm into a tissue and dramatically puffing like you're dying, why the fuck are you at work. You work on phones ffs.
