I've had it with baby-men. I'm not kidding in the least. I may just run away.
I have figured out in the last three years what really really scares them. And I know I'm right because they NEVER touch these things.....ever.
Toilet paper holders. I've yet to see ANYONE replace the roll of tissue.
Vacuum cleaners. Nuf sed - I vacuum and it's an invitation to come in the office with mud on their boots. I leave the existing mud on the carpet? No further mud comes in - it's baffling. I can leave the same clump of mud on the carpet and won't get 1 more boot in that office - it's like they need a dirt pile to feel manly.
Trash cans - it's either the plastic, the liner or throwing things away....not sure.
Crooked pictures - The Mona lisa could hang sideways in our office and no one would notice - I know because I took a picture and hung it sideways and no one said a thing for three months.......and the one in the bathroom I hung upside down. Probably too busy fearing the toilet paper roll.
Fart spray - I don't get that they would all rather gag a maggot, leave the door open and the fan running after stinking up the place than grabbing the bottle of spray and helping the rest of us along.
Dead birds - Even with the fear of West Nile Virus - the boss left a dead bird in his radiator for me to pass every day for a month. Yes, he knew it was there.
and not that they are afraid of this - but I have NEVER EVER met such a huge bunch of gossip mongers in my life. OMG I thought working in an office with women was brutal - until you are the only woman on an all man crew you have no clue. I have learned to apply that best of difficult child tactics here and just make those .......mmmmmmmhmmmmm noises or oh or wow...
And the guy in the other office near me? OMG -
3 - THREE 20 minute potty breaks a day where we are all subjected to his wafting aroma - he's the one with fear of toilet paper holders and fart spray. He clips his nails constantly......I found out that my shredder drives him up the wall - so I save my papers and shred them while he's clipping his nails to block out the noise. He forever took the FIRST parking space -5 feet from the door......and when the boss said that was his - he took mine so I actually had to bring this up in a meeting - STAY outta Star's parking spot - he laughed....he was the only one.....and when he comes into the office he never sits in his chair - he flops - I swear if I didn't think it would cause another set of fears I'd lower the chair....and let him get a big surprise.....
He also snoops in my office constantly to the point where I finally had to start locking things up....then I put vaseline on the bottom of my drawer so when he grabbed it to pull - he knew, I knew what he had been doing.
Anyone else work with people like this?

If this is what a BiPolar (BP) person with an aire of aristocracy (daddy is a banker Mommy is a college teacher) is like? You can HAVE them - he's a little weirdo. And.....UGH while I'm venting - won't answer the phone -if I am on FIRE he would say STAR are you going to get that? ......now that work is scarce? He's started snatching up the phone on the first ring. I got asked by my boss if I was EVER going to answer the phone again. (DUH - since Christmas boy wonder has been snatching it up and boss told me not to answer until the 2nd or 3rd ring.) Asked boss if he was being sarcastic - he said no - so we had a talk.
