OK, I know I am months ahead of schedule, but did you know that October 23rd is official "Slap your irritating co-worker day." Don't ask me why I took time to look up such irreverent trivia, or why I choose to do this now - but doesn't it give you a nice, warm fuzzy feeling way down deep inside.
Most of us have to work around other people. Unless you are the proverbial computer geek working from a laptop while sitting in your bed (and watching sci-fi movies), we still have to get up, go to work and interact with other people (co-workers and clients). Throwing all political correctness to the wind, there are times I just want to slap somebody.
So here is my top ten list of behaviors that make me just want to stop and slap somebody:
10. Cleaning up someone elses mess (figuratively or literally). Whether they left a client situation in shambles, or didn't wipe out the microwave after heating their Raviolios this is just irritating.
9. Putting pickle juice in the ice trays, or using sharpies to paint the cat (this one is for you Trev).
8. Being two-faced. Praising you to your face and cutting your legs out from under you behind your back.
7. Taking credit for the work of other people.
6. Eating someone elses food out of the fridge.
5. Sticking your nose in other people's work or business.
4. Not understanding references to "THE OFFICE."
3. Always whinning about being "politically correct, or incorrect."
2. Not taking that job you were offered in California.
1. Not taking responsibility for your own actions.
So what is on your list of "slappable" behaviors.
