Seriously.

There is a special rung in Hell reserved for people who microwave nasty **** (tuna, eggs, etc.) in the office kitchen, let it explode all up in the microwave, and don't clean up afterwards.

At my old company there was a receptionist who did not shave her armpits, and there was a smell issue. Problem was: a nagging suspicion that it was "cultural." Talk about a hairy conversation for HR!

I reported someone in another department to HR because he would NEVER wash his hands. Ever.

Even number 2.

I work with a woman who I've been told doesn't sit when she uses the toilet. She is about 300 lbs and eats a HUGE fried lunch EVERYDAY. Sometimes its fired chicken cutlet heros, sometimes its burgers (yes, plural), and sometimes its chinese, but its always with a big bag of potato chips and a DIET Coke. She has severe stomach issues that keep her out of work quite a bit, yet she continues her diet. But the disgusting part is the fact that she pisses and ***** all over the seat in the ladies rooms and never cleans it. She appalls my wife and I'm glad I don't need to share facilities with her, as I already eat lunch away from her. But if she thinks that lowly of herself, imagine how she thinks about everyone else.

One co-worker of mine eats leftover food from bus-tubs.

Another scratches his balls every five minutes, sometimes in front customers (hands in pants).

70% are high on cocaine. Many of my co-workers come to work drunk - orders are always being fucked up. The other day i had a ticket for a sub that needed lettuce and tomato, and this kitchen guy brings it up to the window without the toppings -

Me: "dude we need lettuce and tomato on here."
Kitchen guy: "What do you mean?"
Me: The ******* vegetables.

One co-worker of mine broke down crying the other day since she ran out of xanax bars; she was all good though once she met her dealer in the alley behind work - her "medicine kicks in instantly."

Found my manager the other day smoking pot in the back of the building.

Once witnessed two servers ******* in the wash room during close.

Owner brings in all his friends, and they all get rude and shitfaced - seriously just because you're the owners friends doesn't mean you don't have to tip on a $650 tab.


End of rant.

My last job I had to quit because my manager got into the habit of calling me three or so times a week crying to me about her coke head unemployed boyfriend who went down on dudes to support his habit - and of course most of these calls were around 3 AM when he was on cocaine binges and trying to break into her apartment. I would always tell her to shut up or leave him, and she would never do either - "I work in retail; he is the best I can get."

Job quit, number blocked.

Job prior to that (retail), we had this S.A. who would sing along to Lady Gaga's Disco Stick song once the store was closed, and we were in the process of tidying up. This wasn't a one time thing; it was every day (with his headphones on, prancing around).


I'm so tired of the retail, restaurant scene; I can not wait until I am cooped in a boring office.

The poor toilet habits are really disgusting, especially when you're at a company where every colleague went through college, so you'd think they are actually civilised and not poo flinging monkeys.

People not washing their hands, not flushing after taking a dump, not bothering lifting toilet seat up and peeing on it.

Not flushing at the urinals is fine with me though, since they installed the whole environmentally friendly non-flush system with the blocks with the bacteria that eat your nasties away or something.

There is one relgion in the world where exposing your naked bowels to water is considered to cause offense to the water gods!.

At a previous place of employment there were a large number of these worshippers who would fill the toilet bowl with paper until all the water was covered before doing their business. As you can imagine this render the toilet unusable and blocks the plumbing. It got so bad that some co-workers started following other workers into the toilets ready to pounce on them and do the equivalent of a citizens arrest. HR had to get involved and it got 'messy'.

These worshippers of the water gods were afterwards referred to as 'Dodos' - Birds that like to create a nest!

Please let me know the name of your restaurant, so that I may not eat there.

I'll usually arrange a layer of toilet paper in the bowl of public toilets to prevent the "splash effect" when evacuating ordure. I don't like the idea of public toilet water coming in contact with my body; who knows where it's been? I should mention I have mild to progressively moderate symptoms of OCD.
