Co-Worker Vent

[Miss Jasmine]

There has to be something more to the story that I'm missing. How can you write someone up for pooping in the bathroom???? Where else was she supposed to have done it? Was she expected to hold it until she got home? That can't be healthy. Was there another bathroom available and she was just too lazy to walk to it? Maybe she couldn't make it there? I feel sorry for her!

I do, too. How humilating. Sometimes you HAVE to go.

I think some people just really need to be confronted. She sounds as though she is one of them. Tell here straight up, that the office does not provide maid service and she must replace the freakin toilet paper when she uses is it. Tell her too that carpet fresh should not be used during the day, (that would put me over the edge). The smell is sickening.

I worked with plenty of whackos, but the best was this tall busty blonde who I had to tell it was office policy that underwear and bras are required

One of my former co-workers shared a rather large office with me. And every day she would bring her lunch in a nice tupperware container. And every day instead of eating her packed lunch she would order take-out lunch with the rest of us. So, she had a nice collection of tupperware in the office fridge. Well, after a few weeks a note appears on the fridge door telling the office staff if they want to keep their containers, they better take them now, because the cleaning crew was instructed to throw everything in the fridge away.

So, now I am just working away and suddenly I am hit with the most god awful smell you can imagine. Rather than emptying the moldy experiments she had produced into the dumpster out back, she emptied them into the trash can under her desk. I wanted to throw up. I had to have been a months worth of rancid food, right there in my office. What a moron.

The TP thing is one of my biggest pet peeves in my office! There are 8 - yes, 8! - rolls in EACH stall; 2 on the rollers and 6 extra, wrapped up and waiting. Does anyone change them? NOOOOOO...they just leave the cardboard tube sitting there.

Don't even get me started on the "skid marks" left in the toilet.

I'm still having a problem with my psycho next-cubicle coworker who thinks that everyone wants to listen to her ipod. And she sings along, out loud. She's been spoken to, not only by us, but the supervisor, and she continues to do it because "I like to sing." Yeah, so do I, but I don't subject you to The Cure; don't subject me to Kanye West.

I worked a nightshift once and we couldn't find one of the CNA's. We looked everywhere we could think of and her car was still there, so she didn't take off. Our final thought was the bathroom, which worried me because my husand had a co-worker who had a heart attack & died on the toilet. I got the masterkey & opened up the bathroom & there she was - sitting on the toilet, pants down, sleeping. The saddest thing is she wasn't even embarassed.

The unit I used to work on had a bathroom in the employee breakroom. One of our co-workers had to be written up because she would come in there while people were trying to eat and stink up the bathroom.

You've GOT to be kidding me @@ How DARE she use the bathroom when she needed to...

 

[CathrynRose]

Anyway, imagine my surprise when I found two ** XXX magazines ** under the sink! Its the womens bathroom in a place of work. Why on earth would anyone think that is ok?

CRAZY! L L!

Well - whats a guy to do when he get's the *urge*? It's HIS break time!!!



YUCK!

Don't read this if you don't want to get grossed out....

Before I started my own business (I no longer work with wackos) I worked for a very large company with many different offices. One of the offices I worked in for a short while was all men (blue collar). I always smelled this really gross smell in the bathroom...it defied description. I opened up the cabinet under the sink only to be so horrified. There was a huge pile of fried chicken bones and TP that had caked-on crap. Yup, sitting on the bowl doing their business and eating a bucket of chicken at the same time. When finished, instead of flushing the used TP, it was thrown under the sink with the chicken bones. It was more than one time too because there was a cabinet full. I brought my boss in, without warning and showed it to him. I thought he was going to faint. He had my office moved for me a few days later.

Was she from Englishtown?

We are a staff of 7 women. I can't stand walking into the bathroom and finding paper towels on the floor, hair of any kind on the toilet, pee on the toilet, etc.... You should have seen me the day I walked in and discovered a turd on the floor ! No it was not a tootsie roll as someone tried to suggest. Can't people look down and clean up after themselves?

 

[Melwood23]

I work with all men also...and they are all slobs...

I refuse to be their 'Mommy' but I swear I should call their Mom's/wifes and tell them to come and tell these 'men' to clean up their areas.

What is funny, is THEY are complaining about how bad the men's room is...well gees...maybe if you would stop missing the mark it wouldn't stink so much.

At another work place, again I was the only woman tech there, and one time the ladies room was being fixed, and I had to use the men's room...that place was NASTY , it had wood floors...so that made it even worse..

How on earth would a person manage to get a turd on the floor? That's beyond me.

An update: When the co-worker noticed her missing Tupperware, she freaked out. (I didn't throw it all out, only the stuff with obvious science projects--I mean really, who would want that stuff back anyhow?)

Her boss told her that the kitchen stunk, and that it was all her stuff stinking, and then told her to clean the fridge. Not just throw things out, but to actually clean spills, etc. She had a fit and claimed that she can't bend down due to her back/knee/whatever problems. The HR guy came out of his office and told her that if she could bend down to put things in to the fridge, then she could bend down to throw things out and wipe the shelves. (He's sick of her, too.) She had a hissy fit and went into her office and closed the door.

So I cleaned out the fridge, and threw the rest of her Tupperware out--she knew the fridge was going to be cleaned out, and didn't take it, so whatever. In fact the only think left in there when I got done were creamers, peoples lunch totes that they use every day, and some odds and ends like a jar of jelly, a bottle of ketchup, and the pitcher of sun tea that another co-worker makes for the office every day.

I then went into my office and shut the door. I heard a commotion later but didn't go out. I didn't leave until 7:00 PM, long after everyone else was gone, so I do'nt know what ended up happening. I'm sure I'll hear this morning.

Unfortunately she's part of the financial team, and I'm "the other side of the house" in operations. My boss doesn't like her, and neither does anyone in the field. In fact two of my field guys complained about her to me yesterday. I am not in a position to let her go, otherwise I would. I told them to complain to my boss, and that they have my sympathy. Hopefully sooner or later they'll have to let her go. She's been fired from her last three jobs for not getting along with co-workers, of course it's always been "their" fault.

I'll post later after we see what today's drama brings...

It's beyond me how too. Disgusting. There are days I'm like a crazy woman walking out of the bathroom.

 

[mickeyfan2]

All I can say is eeeewwwwwwwwwww.

 

[Kristi1357]

Oh my, I could go on & on about the bathroom drama here! A few highlights:

1. When we were on the 3rd floor, women from other floors would come to ours to do their, um, more 'fragrant' business. I know everyone has to go, when they have to go. But do 5 floors of people need to come to my floor? (one woman from sales was like clockwork - come down from the 5th floor every day at 9am)

2. Don't get me started on the guys from metro that would come down the hall, into the bathroom, with their newspaper under their arm! It that really necessary at a workplace? I mean, if you want to do that at home, that's one thing.

3. One director I used to work with used to come through our dept., and just take one of my personal magazines (without asking) to the bathroom with him! He'd come back and toss it on our counter. YUCK! I am so not touching that if you had it in the bathroom with you while you did your business.

4. I work at a TV station, so we have TVs in the bathroom. They are really needed so we know when we are on the air. Anyway, it drives me nuts when people stand in the bathroom to watch TV!!!! I have to pee people, and I don't need you standing there watching Ellen!

Ok, I feel much better now.

We have a unisex bathroom and few employees also. One is the Boss's elderly Dad(sort of Senior day care )....he always forgets to flush the toilet.

So far it's only been #1 in the there.

Well, remember the kitchen mess I was cleaning up in the first post? It was mostly her mess.

I didn't even mention the 47 staples I picked up by the copy machine that she had used the staple remover and just let them drop to the floor. (yes, I counted, when you're removing staples from the carpet there's not much else to do...)

Frankly, she's not particularly liked around the place. She's loud and obnoxious, and wears too much perfume. In fact I nicely told her that she really needs to wear less perfume because it's very strong, and it's really bothering my asthma. She didn't take the hint, now she just doesn't come into my office, but you can still smell her coming ten feet before she gets to you.

The problem is that her boss is one of these just oblivious people who is very non-confrontational. My boss would get in her face about it, but he's only in the office once a quarter for a couple days, the rest of the time he's in the field.

Perhaps you should look for another position. If you're this obsessed with this person's every action, and complaining about it. It may be good for not only your stress level, but your own mental health.

Interesting post for a second post. I figure you're either a troll who's been banned in the past, or posting under a different name because you don't have the guts to post under your own.

I'm not obsessed with her every action. Trust me, there is not one single person in this office who likes this woman. A couple tolerate her, I generally ignore her, but when she makes a mess that is potentially a health or safety hazard, it's pretty hard to do so.

Frankly I do'nt need to find another job, because soon enough she will be.
