Haha. Easy to be smooth in a thread. I probably would have wrestled with my own temper irl and walked off in silence.

I am still dying to know if she did see him or not at this point. Please update if you find out.

Kind of funny looking. Uncircumcised.

No, she did not see Brad. She has this bizarre behavior of answering a question in a manner like you asked a different question but the answer to what you want to know is implied in her response. In this case, she answered as if I asked "Do you know if Brad was here yesterday, and she had no idea if he was on not.
Another example, me: “Did you put a hardcopy of the punch list in each unit?” Her: “I’ve been walking the drywaller through the units so it’s ready for the painter” as if I asked what have you been doing this morning. Implied in her response is “No, I didn’t distribute the punch lists to the units because I was doing something more important”.
It’s some kind of weird passive aggressive manipulation she employs so she can dictate the conversation and it’s getting on my nerves.

How I interpret this from this is......she's saying is I saw so many ****ing people yesterday and have so much **** to do my head is spinning. If you wanted to see Brad you should have been there. Don't hold me accountable for something that's not my job. Now stop asking me **** because I have too much to do

Definition type A personality

Only reason I say this is I'm sorta the same way, unfortunately. Someone could ask me something insignificant (in my mind) and I'll snap back if I'm feeling some pressure. Even if you asked me something like "What did you have for lunch?" I probably wont remember or be sarcastic because it's not important or meaningful to accomplish whatever I'm trying to accomplish

To me, it reads as someone who works harder, not smarter. There's no reason she should be so frazzled as to snap at a co-worker like that.

This type also acts like their job is the most important in the company.

I've find that the biggest proponents of "work smarter not harder" are always very lazy

Fine. "Work more efficiently, not harder."

Since we are venting, I want to complain about the horrible instructor I had this past week for work training.
We were there to go over some ISO standards, training from 8-4:30, 30min lunch, breaks every two hours.
This guy didn't follow any of the curriculum that he handed out. He just talked about complete nonsense the entire time, and told stupid stories, and talked in circles. He would go past the break times by as much as 45mins and sometimes miss breaks all together because he couldnt shut the **** up. On the last day we had a conference call with our global director as a group to do some brainstorming. This had absolutely nothing to do with the instructor, but he jumped in and bogarted the conversation. When one of us tried to speak, he interrupted us and started talking about no related ****. It was the most bizarre thing I have ever witnessed. This guy had absolutely no self awareness.
And, one of the managers actually invited this idiot to dinner with us last night. All of the men there spoke Spanish as well as myself. This guy started yapping to one half of the table and they all started talking in Spanish to get him to shut up. Mid sentence, this douchebag turns to my end of the table and continues yapping while we all were already having our own conversation so we switch to Spanish and don't look at him.
This is the most annoying person I have ever met. He just talked to hear himself talk and tried to take over every and any conversation and didn't teach us ****. We spent 99% of the day giving each other OMG looks, letting out loud sighs and rolling our eyes.
I gave that guy the lowest possible score on the review survey and said he needed to shut the **** up and talk about 99% less than he does now.
Oh, I just remembered that we also took a plant tour that was for us(the employees) to question each other and brainstorm. Guess who took over like it was about them.

Shhh

Holy **** this is the worst troll ever and why am I even engaging

Never ever post again, k? Thanks.

Why was she let out of containment?

LOL Noone gets her posts.

There's a guy in my office who does that every day of the year. He has rhinitis, hay fever and seemingly a permanent 'tail end of a cold'. When we moved around places in the office I made my line manager put him on the other side of the room, but we moved again and now he's almost directly behind me. He also farts, burps and hiccups constantly. It's weird, I used to think his farting was that squeak of a leather seat you sometimes get, but no, it's just his unbearable ass letting rip with impunity every few hours.

As well as this he has a habit of stuffing his entire arm into his pants and having a good old rummage. It's not a discreet thing. The worst time was when he chose to walk over and talk to a colleague directly in front of a younger female employee with his arm entrenched in his crotch right up to the elbow almost.

He also has an interesting eating technique that involves 'posting' food into his mouth.

Ha ha does your co-worker ever talk about his past job as a shoe salesman?

These types are the absolute worst. At a previous job I had the misfortune of working with a woman who would pitch an everloving fit anytime she felt that someone or something was inhibiting her from submitting internal financial reports. All day long she'd be snarking at people over email or on the phone about "New York is expecting these numbers and I am WAITING FOR YOUR RESPONSE on so-and-so."

One day while I was on vacation she stormed into my boss's office and said that her reports weren't working and that it was all my fault and demanded that I be recalled to the office. My boss laughed her out of the room and told her to fix her own damn problems.

All that attitude came from someone who did nothing more than report on what salespeople did in the previous period and guess about what they were going to do in the next period.

I mean, it's like these people don't realize that if they someday fail to show up on this side of the grass, the world won't stop spinning.

I don't know why the word rummage is making me laugh so hard, but it is.

You?

She sounds like a huge screaming *****

I had a guy like that at my old job. He was a team lead and has been with the company for close to 5 years. No one gave him much respect because he was a young guy, 23 years old and was just a goofy dude. But he got a long with everyone else including the CEO. He was essentially the teacher's pet.

What really annoyed me with him was that he always acted like he's the smartest person in the room but I could tell at the same time he had such a low self-esteem. He always hanged around my cubicle telling me how "College is a waste of time and that you don't need it to be successful" and that he didn't need to do it and how he was so successful because he has been team lead for 3 years.

This guy was drinking the company's kool-aid. I wonder if he's still there. I left the company 2 years ago to go back to school since I was getting paid peanuts.

Looking back, that was a weird place to work at and I met some odd and very depressing people. Wish I got out earlier.

Minus the depressing people, have the same feelings about my old job. It's easy to get timid and not want to give up the security of a paycheck.

If you are referring to my post, then oh my goodness was she ever. She was mostly competent at her job but was one of the most insufferable people I've ever met. She managed to say there for two years before her somewhat beta boss finally told her that it was probably in everyone's best interests that she look at opportunities elsewhere.

This sounds like insecurity. "I'm not lazy, I was doing something else, honest."
