saluk Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Meetings. At the beginning of this year, my team was on split into 3. But my position was not - so while my workload wasn't technically increased, the boring planning and check-in meetings have multiplied by 3. If I don't go to them, I will be out of the loop and it hampers my ability to do my job well. But if I go to all of them, I don't have enough time to complete my job. This is my life now.

Capricorn3 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Do you think some of them are trolling? Or is this a new trend like posting on Askreddit, Quora, etc., then just scrolling through the collective answers? Definitely some are trolls (which we've sorted) but we can't always prove all of them, in which case we have to leave them for the time being. Link to comment
Wiseman2 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Updates. Constant updates. Do they have an algorithm on all these devices that know when it's most inconvenient? Link to comment
itsallgrand Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Walking into a store or cafe, waiting to be served, and the worker is standing slouched over the counter fanning herself with papers. There's something about it that really irritates me. Weird pet peeve about people fanning themselves around me on top of the crappy customer service. Link to comment

boltnrun Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I supervise a department that provides essential support to the managers in the company. I was told the other day by one of the managers that he never reads any of my emails. Link to comment

journeynow Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 My tendency to absorb other people's negativity and for it to replay my head, sometimes for days afterword. My poor boundaries? I need an effective technique for shaking it off and leaving it off! Link to comment
Wiseman2 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Posters who tell new posters (who do not have enough posts to PM) PM me!! As if their secret, private advice is so special. Is it to trash other posters without getting an infraction? What advice/discussion can't be given in the thread? Then the new poster comes back questioning why the PM function isn't working.

itsallgrand Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 You build new facilities with new bathrooms. Great! It looks beautiful and new. But why build the bathroom stalls so the toilet is jammed up against the toilet paper rolls and garbage?! I'm not a big woman, smaller than most in fact. Not pleasant sitting down and being squished with half your butt in the air just to pee! Link to comment
ApocalypseDreams Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Whenever I go to the shops I always park in an empty part of the car park. Mostly because I don't like my car getting dented by other people's car doors, I like adding a bit more walking into my day whenever I can and I hate driving around for 15 minutes trying to get the most convenient space. Today I parked in an empty part of the car park with what must have been 30 or so empty spaces around me. I went in and got what I needed. On my return to my car, I found that someone had actually parked so close to me that I couldn't even get back in my car. I looked around the part of the car park I was in was still empty. I stood there waiting for someone to return to their vehicle for a while. However, I was in somewhat of a rush and ended up very awkwardly having to climb into the driver's seat from the front passenger's side. Being a 6 foot 3 man, this was no easy feat. Who does that? Who parks so close to the only other car in an empty car park leaving no room for the other person to get into their vehicle? People's stupidity/lack of consideration really does my head in sometimes. Link to comment
Jibralta Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 There was a funny commercial from years ago that illustrated this situation. Nice car pulls into empty part of lot with no other cars nearby. Ample parking is available all around. Nice car's driver gets out and exits the scene. Then an old and busted jalopy pulls in right next to the car and the jalopy-driver opens their door right into the nice car. I think it was a car insurance commercial. I wish I could find it. I'd post it for you. Link to comment
Wiseman2 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Using nouns as verbs. Gifted means having a special ability. Gift is a noun. Give is a verb. Recently heard "regifted". Now that combines cheap and trendy bad grammar? What does that mean, exactly? Pass off whatever stuff you didn't want for Christmas on the next poor soul as a gift under the guise of recycling or whatever that is supposed to be?😝👎🙊😱 Link to comment

milly007 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Apparently they came up with the term ‘degifted’ too. Lol https://theseinfelddictionary.com/2008/02/02/degift/ Link to comment
milly007 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 People who don’t feel the need to look up from their phones when walking towards someone else. Apparently we’re required to walk around them because, well...they’re staring at their phones and we should know better. Link to comment

milly007 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Or the clip I posted above that! Yup. But I was joking with Wiseman by saying that he might be able to find a lot of terms (not just regifting or degifting) he’s questioning in the Seinfeld Dictionary (as opposed to the Urban Dictionary).

milly007 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Have to ask, is it normal to sometimes feel attacked on this site? Either way, maybe I’m misconstruing messages, but sometimes I just get that feeling. Not so much annoyed by this as I am perplexed. Link to comment
