50 Pics Showing That Some People Have No Idea How To Behave At Work (New Pics)

You reminded me of a time when I was around 12 and decided to be 'helpful' and make coffee for people while at my moms funeral. This was back in 1984, but the funeral home had one of those coffee makers that hooked up to a water line? Can't remember how many people were there but I sure know I figured it was one scoop of coffee grounds per person and then hit the brewer button as many times as there was people there - once for each person. Needless to say......

I like your idea, but maybe you could just say no?

I said during my interview that I won't make coffee. Only in the very last month of my contract, when we were understaffed, boss asked me to make one as an exception for the international guests he was receiving. I am not sure the coffee was palatable.

... but, the method you're employing here is weaponized incompetence. Some say that is wrong in itself as they measure it by the method alone ... I'd say it depends - if it gets you out of stuff people throw at you, unjustifiedly so - go for it, or even follow through until they enjoy the coffee you made. The damage it could do, the reason why you wanna rid yourself off a task ... makes the judgement. I'd vote for a consequentalist approach on judgement here, and at many other occasions, too.

i would make it but spill it into their seats or lap or whatever lol.

Speaking about breaking cycles. I once worked somewhere where they had household chores. Every week another coworker had to clean the canteen, including smoking area. It was "mandated". So when it was almost my turn I asked: Do I have to clean the smoking area too? I don't smoke. Yes you have to. But I don't smoke so I don't use the area so I won't do it. Well, she and she do not use it either, they smoke outside, still they clean it. Well, by law I do not have to enter a room where people smoke, no body is able to make me enter a room wich is a health violation. Next day we had our weekly meeting and the whole canteen duty was abolished. So who did it from then on? I don't know. I don't know why they abolished it for everyone, but I got my way. Employers only listen to you when you bring up the law.

I did say this at my first job. No one in our office drank coffee, so all we had was instant. Whenever my employer had a meeting and asked for coffee, they always asked me because I was the only female. I'd fill 1/3 of the cup with coffee and add hot water, a few stirs ... I used to stay to see their faces. My employer knew I did this and he thought it was hysterical. That was a fun job

Hard same. I love my kids and being a mum, but part of the reason I love being a working mum is that I get to have this part of my life outside of my family too and have adult conversations about other things. I work in a very middle-aged-women dominated industry and there's definitely offices I've been in where all people talk about is their kids, it's not my favourite dynamic. Chatting about them here and there is fine, but I don't need it to be every convo.

I think the idea was that since someone without kids won't pass on any of their knowledge, values, or morals then what's the point.

When kindness costs nothing why on earth is it so hard for you to be a kind, understanding individual??

You know as sad as it sounds, you are probably right. Our education system (assuming US) is really garbage.

It's a store, not a 1st grade math class.

These days you have to teach them like it's a fun game or they are actually doing a great job.

If she’s younger than 35 or so, she likely was never taught.

Because she's totally not paying for those other dinners either.

If you know where she's having dinner, join her there. Order a big meal and tell the wait staff to put it on her tab. Take most of dinner home & have leftovers for a couple days.

I loan people I can't stand money. I never see them again. It's an investment really.

"Where's my money, Brian?" Funnier AND more threatening. ;-)

Let me take another look, must be somewhere down there!

It's no doubt on her date's tab

"co-irkers" I love that.

Wow, cow misogyny!

Brilliant!

Germans never could respect boundaries.

Isn't this the cheap BMW? Like the one for people who can't afford a real BMW?

Not signalling a turn, for one thing.

...and a particularly ugly one at that...

A car to get keyed

That is my solution as well. The Subaru doesn't mind another scratch.
