Definitely, Spitfire, you've got one there.  My boss also talks to me when I'm on the phone, and it drives me NUTS!  However, that's not my ultimate peeve, because we've got some real special cases around here.



How about this one?  I walked in at around 9:30 a few weeks ago.  A co-worker walked up to me and said, "Oh my god, we've been waiting for you.  There's a weird smell in the kitchen."  What am I, the smell police? A truffle pig?  I have a special sense that the rest of them don't have?  Able to find weird smells in a single bound?   It turned out to be something icky in the garbage...what a shocker!



Fast forward to last Tuesday...had the day off on Monday, walk in in the morning.  A different co-worker - "We need a plumber, the urinal in the men's room blew up."  I ask when.........YESTERDAY MORNING is the answer.  They just taped some paper over it and waited for me.  It's so sad when they can't even go pee without you.



AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!



These people are helpless.  And lazy.  Thanks for the topic, Lioness.  I feel better already!
