People in the office starting to annoy me. Please moan in here.
I don't get why people in the office feel such a need to comment so much on what I do or eat. Today I have home made soup. Nothing out of the ordinary, it's got spinach in it so it's bright green, but it's no different from any other soup I make. They are all 'ugh', and 'is that the green stuff in the fridge' and 'uh that smells like nettles'. One guy here eats literally nothing but plain ham rolls every day and if we go out for a company meal he will only get ham, egg and chips. They all take the pee if I have anything that resembles a salad with my lunch.
Maybe if people here ate something like this they'd look healthy like me rather than fat and ill looking. I feel like pointing this out to the girl opposite me and calling her a fat pig because that's what she is, but that's against the rules. Though it's fine for them to comment on me being skinny. **** off  Then there's the car. I've learned to deal with the car thing by being dismissive but I don't feel obliged to jump in there and tell them how dull their Ford Focus must be to drive. I don't care if it's rusty! If it bothered me I'd do something about it! Are their little lives really that unfulfilling that all they have to do is comment on other people's? Anyway, thanks for listening. Please add to this thread with your moaning. Maybe I vill start talking mit a German accent in ze offis and not gif in no matter vot happens

We had a new guy working for us here last summer. As it got to the enrollment period for new students his exact words were 'It's getting a bit busy round here, I might ask for a week off.' The whole point of us hiring him was to ease the workload during busy times. I later happened to mention what he'd said in passing to my supervisor, just in general conversation, and as it turned out he had indeed asked for a week off. My supervisor declined the request as it was indeed too busy, but allowed him to take the following week off as it would have been less so. The guy didn't show up for the week he'd originally asked for, calling in sick every day. Then he had his week's holiday, then he handed his notice in.
When the collection came round for his leaving card, I took a pound out.

I have alsorts of issues at work, but all related to 1 girl that no-one gets on with. She's pregnant so going on maternaty soon but she treats it as an excuse to be a b*tch and bloody illness at a drop of a hat! Very frustrating! Was quite amusing today though since it's got so bad now, we had a "team building" exercise during our team meeting. We had the HR manager in with us who started on a 15 minute rant about how people can be so stupid as to hurt their own career and their own reputation by being unprofessional and shouting at people, while not realising this same lass had done this countless times recently Strangely, she never said a word
