- Putting things (files/papers/etc) on my desk instead of in my mailbox! I hate when people put things on my keyboard or on my chair as if to showcase some sort of importance. What’s the point of me having a mailbox if no one uses it?
- Using “ASAP” in an email to me. Unless you’re my supervisor or someone on the upper chain of command, do not, I repeat DO NOT try to rush me. I will get whatever you need to be done accomplished in a timely manner but I refuse to stop everything that I am doing in the process.
- Inviting me to a meeting that has NOTHING to do with me or what I do. I shouldn’t have to waste 30 minutes to an hour of my time to hear you or someone else babble on as I wait to find the connection towards my job description.
- Two words: REPLY ALL
- Forwarding me an email and saying “see below.” So I’m supposed to read the whole chain of emails which is about 20 deep just to get a jist of what’s going on when you could’ve easily summarized it for me? How lazy of you…
- Combing your hair in the bathroom and leaving strands all over the sink! Just… why?
- Using the last bit of toilet paper/paper towel and not replacing it! We have three different cabinets full of toilet paper/paper towels and you couldn’t pick ONE to choose from?!
- Not washing your hands after using the bathroom. I never knew those types of people existed UNTIL I started working. Smh
- Incoherent voicemails. If you have kids screaming in the background, use slang terminology or anything that prevents me from understanding your message, I guarantee you will not get a call back from me. Sorry but not sorry.
- People who expect work to be done on Friday’s. Lol okay this one’s a little foolish but still…
