Horrible Office Habits/etiquette

As I was getting up to hit the head, by boss got up and followed me out. When I walked into the restroom, I figured he would part ways. He followed me in and kept speaking. He goes to the urinal as I enter a stall and he continues his conversation. So here I am... sort of waiting to drop a deuce, figuring he would be done soon... but he kept speaking. I finally gave up, pulled my pants up, and washed hands and walked out with him.

How can he find this as acceptable?

What are some of your pet peeves that take place in your office?

Whats even worse is the amount of people who don't wash their hands and then come into your cubicle and put their hands in your box of crackers or just start touching things. I would have to hide my food and then wipe down my office with sanitizing wipes after my boss entered.

what? you can't poop when there's someone talking to you?
 
"Hit the head" sounds like you were going to beat off in the company crapper.
I hate bathroom talkers though, I'm at the point where I'll just rinse my hands and walk out to go to the solitary bathroom in the basement if anyone even looks like they're going to start talking. I'm in there for business, not meetings.
 
My favorites are the guys who come in, take a leak, and walk out, right past the sink. Really? Too much work to wash before returning to your desk? I shake hands with no men at work, if at all possible. Can't say what women do, but I have to believe they have a somewhat higher hygienic index.

Because, you let him do it.
 
Luckily we're a small company and have just a few individual restrooms. The worst for me is personal hygiene, mainly for one employee. She wears sweat pants all the time (only thing that fits) and smells of BO and Cigarettes. If I happen into one of the bathrooms after she uses it, I have to wonder if there's certain "areas" of here that never get washed.

She's pretty high up in the company too, so it's kinda sad.

B.O. the worst. We have a large group of off shore employees in our IT department and they are always coming here for various trainings and events. It runs rampant. No deodorant, no cologne, no showers from what I can tell.
 
I hate the people that clip their nails at work. Do that crap at home.

Also I guess it needs to be repeated STOP MICROWAVING FISH IN THE LUNCH ROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!😡
 
Ask him if since he's already there he wants to help you with the paperwork, should prompt him to leave quickly I'd imagine.

ill take BO over cologone any day. at least BO does not give me an asthma episode. Just this morning the our front desk lady (think of your grandma) walked down the hall and i swear to god her perfume was so fucking strong you could taste it and gave me and our DBA an instant headache. holy shit that stuff is nasty.
 
my biggest pet peeve is people going over your head or bypassing you for issues and take it straight to your bosses boss and sometimes straight to the VP of IT. WTF!!! Jesus that pisses me off. and its non emergency shit that because they have their ear they want it done now so they bypass the whole service desk ticketing system.

FUCK YOU. i just added a week to get to your stupid issue.
 
Just drop a deuce while he's talking to you - it's the best way to get him to stop talking. Pretty simple and it's something I've done before too. I'll even push a little if someone is there talking, to make the splash / noise / gas release more pronounced.

I've done it before. Why? Because I'm obsessive compulsive and I can't stand whatever nail is bugging me. If I don't clip it, it will pick at it and potentially tear too much off leading to an infection. You know how much it sucks to type with an infected finger? 😛

My thumb is at that point where I really want to clip it, but I lack a clipper. Oh, but do note that I throw away the clippings.

What about when they email you to blame you for an issue and CC your lead? The best part is when it isn't even your fault!
