BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Etiquette Rant Week Begins - August 2005

Well, since we only have one more day left... Here's my rant.

Office Etiquette... And by that I mean co-worker's etiquette.

Man! I'm so sick of people taking things off of my desk, stealing my lunch from the refrigerator, having conversations with others in my cubicle (I sit near the printer) and jumping into my phone conversations.

All your points are definitely annoying, but major on the lunch thing!

They always told us, be sure and put your name on anything of yours in the refrigerator so no-one else will take it. i'm like, if you know its not yours, DON'T TAKE IT!

I found this rant late. Sorry. But people get on my nerves in general. When I was pregnant, people wanted to touch me. I hate being touched (by strangers) because I am a germ person. I hated when people would stare at me in public both times I was pregnant. I am a young looking 29 yr old. I got carded at the movies until a few yrs ago. Well, I had a woman make the comment about babies having babies when I was 25, married for 2 yrs, college degree, and teaching high school. I thought my MIL was going to beat the woman up. I hated the "I bet you are having a boy" thing too. I had a woman tell me I was carrying a girl with my son. I told her, "No, the sonogram shows a boy." She kept on until I told her my daughter was going to have a [censored] then. When we named our son Thor, we had people that told us they didn't like the name. My fav thing was when I had my son and was in the hospital. I had someone ask when we were having another one. I was like "I just went through natural child birth and my son is in the NICU, can I rest 1 day before you start about another one?"
