I would honestly like to meet the folks that eat other people's food/steal silverware/poop on the floor at work. Questions I'd like to ask: 1. What does your house look like? 2. What is your motivation for these acts of thievery and/or disgustingness? 3. Do you do this at restaurants or when you go to other people's homes?
I honestly would watch an episode of 60 Minutes if they reported on this shit.
It's funny because one girl actually saw me with my mini soap last week and I explained how I was boycotting supplying the entire office with soap for awhile. She goes, "Oh I was wondering who bought the soap. I have a small one at home and I think I will do the same thing as you." UMMMMM... how about you just take a turn and spend one or two bucks on a new community one for the first time in almost six years?!?
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

Peeps are terrible. I don't understand why people like them. Ugh.
And I had someone poop on the floor at work once when I was a server. It was an old guy and it ran down his leg out of his pants right in front of the server station when he was asking for a straw. It was disgusting, but really sad at the same time.

Stop time. Someone pooped on the floor?
At my last job, it happened. There was a turd on the floor of the women's restroom. What's even more gross is that there were only like 15 women that used that bathroom, so the suspect list was very small. It was a corporate office for a very large and successful shoe store chain!!
At my current place of employment, (boys, cover your ears) someone bleed all over the front of the toilet, and it ran down to the floor. And they just left it!!! I mean, I know accidents and things happen, but at least try to clean it up before you leave work in embarrassment!

It's like you work in the same building as me... Including #3 on you list of disgustingness, #2, on the floor. Yep

That is nasty.
I don't even know how bleeding that much could have happened?! Did they have a cup they were emptying or something? Eesh!

This. Things happen but clean up after yourself. We have a cleaning person that does the bathrooms every afternoon but we shouldn't have to deal with it all day until he comes in.

We'd be fucked if someone did that. We are in a renovated apartment, with 7 employees. Only two are boys, but we ALL use the same bathroom and our cleaning lady comes every other Friday.

Same here, we only have a one person ladies bathroom for our entire floor, and I'm not sure how often our cleaning people do the bathroom... We'd be in big trouble.

Not on the same scale as bathroom issues, but that is why our cars are filthy at times. It seems like some people think cleaning up food and drink spills is optional and people usually don't take them to get cleaned unless they are mandated to. I clean up after myself, but I'm not cleaning up anyone's mess more than I have to and it's such a pain to stop by the car wash.
People at my office just have their own personal use coffee makers at their desk or in the designated common use cubicle. Could that be an option for you?
I wish, but there are only 7 of us total here and we have an actual kitchen. Right now I am buying coffee once a month (sometimes twice), and it would probably be about the same once she is gone, but I would be the only one buying and not the only one drinking. If I stop buying it, nobody would drink coffee in the office, and there is no place to put it at my desk, plus my boss would give me shit since we have a kitchen. It's one of those things that if it is available it gets drank, but if it isn't, nobody really cares (other than me). It is really so stupid and petty and I hate being like that. It is actually easier for me to just make it at home because of all those reasons. I've also noticed that the days I have brewed at home and brought with me, I drink way less and that is definitely a plus.
Would something like this be useful to you? Maybe for emergency use. You could just keep it in a drawer at your desk with a small thing of coffee and a few filters (or they make non-disposable ones). All you'd have to worry about was boiling water.

A few years ago it was getting common for people's lunches to get stolen. I even caught a guy trying to run off with my lunch bag - but couldn't report him since I didn't know his name.
The break room is always trashed, and the tables and microwaves are disgusting.
Day two of grumpy, sick Bonnie complaining... Last summer we got a new administrative assistant to the dean of admissions. She announces staff meetings, sends the agendas, etc.. She always writes "Re: Staff Meeting" in the subject line of emails even though it's not not in reply to anything. No, "re" in this context does NOT mean regarding. It drives me NUTS.

I always thought RE: stood for "regarding" ?
bonzai is getting so many knowledge bombs dropped on her today.

It does. But if you think about it this way...
I write you an email about a recipe for chili. In the subject line, I write, "chili recipe!" Because it's in the subject line, it is already designated as the subject of the email, or what the email is regarding. When you reply, the email adds "Re:" to the subject line because your email is regarding my email. If I were to write the initial email as, "Re: chili recipe!" It might not be teeeechnically wrong, but it would be repetitive (since it's already designated as the subject) and confusing. Email services will automatically add the "Re:" to responses, so when I receive an email with "Re:" in it, I assume that it is in response to an email I sent. "Re:" does not mean reply, but, at least in my opinion, should be used as is if it does.
Or is this just me? It doesn't bother anyone else?! This is only the second person that I have seen do this (and I work heavily in email). Again, it might not be technically wrong, but it seems like a very annoying practice.

Ehh no. Only one so far Unless everyone thinks I am crazy about this?? I know that re means regarding, but it shouldn't be used as so when initiating an email chain.

I can see both sides. I can see where it would be redundant since the a subject line that should tell you what the e-mail is about. But at the same time, the person writing the e-mail may be used to using that format. We use the RE a lot in memos and letters we write.

It's the same as Sig on prescriptions. They still use it, but it's redundant. The problem comes from sloppy handwriting when the sig looks like it's part of the directions. If we miss read it, we could be telling them how to take their medication incorrectly.

I can accept the usage on hard copy memos and letters, it's just the email subject line that irks me.

No, you're right on this. Currently working as a GA at my university...."RE:" means your replying to the previous email. I get that "RE" can also stand for regarding, but I haven't seen anybody use it in that context in the subject line of an email.
ESPN is on in the breakroom, and the conversation is (of course) about Indiana. Most folks I work with support the new Indiana RFRA, so the conversation turned quite ugly as I explained why Indiana's law is not the same as the states with this law; other states have protection against discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identification. Indiana has no such protection. Now they all think I'm a liberal idiot (one man's words, not mine) because I think it's an abominable law. Work (and Indiana) = true hell.
Disclaimer: I am from Tennessee, not Indiana. I just find myself on an unfortunate stopover at this time.

grad school is a quacking grind (news flash!) and I'm really tired of it. I'm just mentally exhausted, and that bothers me even more because some days it feels like i'm not even doing anything productive. so then I start this self doubting, maybe-i'm-not-doing-enough thought process. academic research is slow paced, and so much is out of my control, that whole weeks can go by and I feel like I've not gotten anything accomplished. I think this week is going to be like that.

I see older folks using this and not so much new generations?

Our office building is a large-ish one story rectangle. The parking lot wraps around the entire building with the employee entrances on each of the short sides and the public entrance in the middle of the long side that is facing the street. Probably like most offices, most everyone parks in the same space every day. We have way more parking spaces than employees because we host large trainings and meetings from time to time, so you can get a good spot easily especially since the employee spots are a good distance away from the main entrance. Whenever we have trainings/meetings, visitors always end up taking employee spots on my side (the right) of the building. It's really strange because they'll park in spots that are really far from the building on the right side of the lot while spots that are two spots from the door on the left side will be empty. It's weird and I don't understand it.
