unrealitymag.com/index.php/2011/04/18/a-collection-of-passive-aggressive-office-notes/#more-34917Some of those counter-notes are priceless. God, this kind of shit bugs me. I found a timer alarm in a drawer today at work. The woman not only wrote her job title all over the timer itself (we're talking on every side multiple times) to dissuade anyone else from using it, but she had it in a fucking plastic baggie with the life story of the timer and how and where in the factory she got it and how the battery needed to be replaced and so it was hers and nobody else can use it....it was a fucking biography of a fucking timer with the author declaring personal ownership of company property that she admits to taking from another department. Good fucking God, what is wrong with people and why must I suffer this kind of stupidity?

Ha ha, I love doing shit like this. There's no way I could ever just write "do not touch" or "battery re-charging" or some shit like that. I once left a note saying "touch note on pain of DEATH" on a hand scanner thing and got called a prick for it. I can't for the life of me work out why.
I remember going into a toilet in my old work and the toilet lid was down, but a huge handwritten sign had been put on the door with an arrow pointing down to it saying simply, "BEWARE." And when you opened the lid, holy FUCK.. what a mess. I'll leave you to imagine what it was like, but I laughed for about an hour straight thinking, some guy actually went back into the office, got a sheet of paper and wrote a warning instead of actually cleaning the mess up.
That woman you work with sounds like a laugh riot, all right. Is she like that with everything?

Oh yes. But she is dead fucking serious. She takes people to management over imaginary shit and takes everything as a personal insult while treating everyone else like shit. For example, there is a table that she uses that she has declared to be "her table" and if anyone places something on "her table" she goes "uuuuuummmmm... no no no no NO!" and thyen commences to explain that the table is HERS. She used to have a cart that was "hers" as well that she graffitied every inch of with her job title so that everybody would know not to use it and the first thing she would do every day when she came in was make an exaggerated display of stalking every inch of the lab craning her neck until she found it. Needless to say, poeple not only used it, but occasionally deliberately hid it from her so we could snicker and elbow each other when she lost her fucking mind and went "uuuuuuuummmmmm......has anyone seen my cart? I have to use that cart because that's the only cart that I can use because the other carts are too long or too short or too tall or the wheel's don't roll as good and [insert random supervisor name] said it was mine and he got it for me so I could use it and I don;t know why people are always using it because [supervisor's name] said it was mine for me to use....." and so on. She also once walked up to me and screamed "FUUUUUCK YOOOOOOOUUUUUU!!!!!!" directly in my face before stalking out of the room, leaving a lab full of gaping mouths. Good times.

Wow. I've had a fair few years of working life but I don't think I've ever met anyone that deranged. If someone pulled that "fuck youuuu" stunt over here they'd be sacked on the spot.

I don't think any supers were present at the time and I'm not the snitching type (plus, I was more amused than offended) so nothing came of that. I've seen worse. There's at least two other ladies at the same job that are as bad or worse.
