I have some office annoyances that normal people don't. i mean I GET the regular ones ... people who turn the AC off in December, bad coffee making (or no coffee making), other shifts using up my goddamn coffee with my name on it and a note saying ask Wolf if you have a coffee emergency and need to borrow some, etc.

This week alone ...

Having to deal with a really crazy woman's purse. You know the ones, you've goggled at them in stores. Huge suitcases full of random pieces of paper, cigarette butts, and clumps of hair.

Being the only female on the shift and having your male coworker come to you and say ...

"The woman in restraints has to pee. Can you take her a bedpan?"

"There's someone on the phone that will only talk to a woman." This is inevitably a nasty suicide call. Incidentally, we have an unwritten policy ... you answer the phone, you deal with the situation. period. Which apparently does not hold for ONE of my coworkers. Just one.

Having a coworker say "I can't see one more person." Which means, incidentally, that I have to see that person. I have seen as many people (sometimes more) than the whiner.
