I think there are some rules that should be a given at work... I work in a very big building with quite a few people but not all of us think in the same terms when it comes to etiquette. For instance, if you have microwaves at work, please don't burn your damn popcorn. Seriously guys, who can't count pops? The stank of burnt popcorn lingers for hours. In other food related rules, leave the fish at home. Nothing makes the afternoon go by slower than feeling like the stink of some fool's lunch has attached itself to your clothes. The only way I want to taste food is by eating it, not by breathing it.
I know you are probably trying to be polite but if I am more than 10 steps behind you, don't hold the door for me. It makes me feel like I have to walk fast to catch up and I have short legs and don't want to walk any faster.
Read your emails before sending them out, please please know that we do not have a meeting "on tomorrow, on yesterday or on today"
Watch the double negatives - I didn't get no email from you. You will continue to not get any emails from me because your grammar makes me want to brickface you.
And of course there is your and you're confusion. I don't think I can justify having to explain this rule.
A-TO THE-MEN SISTA!!! I FEEL YOUR PAIN :)
ReplyDeleteThese rule's are great Ash! I think some of the people at my work definitely need to read these. I can't tell you how many time's I get hit in the face with the burnt popcorn smell as soon as I walk into the breakroom. Ugh!!
