It's All About the Money

A customer often comes to the movie theater I work at. He's a racist middle-aged bald man with turrets syndrome and he loves talking about Jews. My manager never kicks him out because he has money.

Shirt Pants

There's a customer that often comes to the movie theater I work at. Picture Santa Claus, but wearing a t-shirt for pants. He likes to talk to the person working at the box office about God. Today, that was me.

This is why I Work 2 Rant.

Meeting for Meeting Sake

Does it make any sense to have meetings just to have meetings? Sometimes I think in order to make it in Corporate America, all you need is a tolerance for sitting around listening to people talk and talk and talk about nothing. That and a lobotomy.

This is why I Work 2 Rant.

Whistle While You Work

A bum frequently likes to walk into the movie theater I work at. He looks and smells like rotting garbage and communicated with us using a whistle. I don't speak whistle and I can't get him to leave.

This is why I Work 2 Rant.

Cyclops

A bum frequently walks into the movie theater I work at. He has a huge growth on the left side of his face that oozes. Everywhere. Guess who has to clean up?

This is why I Work 2 Rant.

Keep It Down!

There is a continuous squeaky sound that's coming from the office upstairs. My work day just started.

This is why I Work 2 Rant.

Crazy Legs

A bum frequently walks into the movie theater I work at. Unfortunately, he has gangrene and you can smell the rotting flesh from his legs from 50 ft away.

Empty Pockets

Dropped my paycheck on the way to deposit it.

Get a Room

I was waiting for the elevator to go upstairs to clock in to work. When the doors opened, there was a lady giving a guy a blow job.

What's that Smell?

I was working overtime at my job and I was told which station I would be working from. When I sat down I noticed a bad smell but couldn't figure out what it was. My coworker that was sitting next to me got up and walked away. A few seconds after he left so did the smell.

Unbalanced

I have an office job where I work Monday through Friday. They just started this project where we have to take turns doing a weekend shift. We have to work two days and only get one day in compensation. I'm salary. I don't get overtime.

This is why I Work 2 Rant.

Laid Out to Dry

My coworker's socks got wet from the rain. She decided to take them off and dry them... in the office.

This is why I Work 2 Rant.

Late for your own meeting.

Your boss has you set up a meeting. One that is classified as really important. You set up all the things needed to conduct the meeting and invite those who need to attend. However, the one person who is really late to this important meeting is the same person who asked you to set it up. Your boss.

I Need It!!!

A customer found a garment that had cigarette burns and vaginal crust in the crotch area of the pants. I told her that she could ask a cashier to call another store to see if they have it in stock. She said she still wanted it because it was the only one left available in her size and she needed it for costume.

This is why I Work 2 Rant.

In all fairness... well, nevermind.

I come in generally 10 minutes after 8am, roughly when another 1/3 of our staff gets in. My boss generally comes in 30 minutes after that. However, I am the one getting in trouble and having to take days off without pay because the boss views the rules as things only applying to those under her command and not herself. Her arguments when confronted are completely contradictory. I hope that other place likes my resume.

Cardboard Fort

I came in late to work one day and my co-workers decided to block off my entire cubical with cardboard boxes and left me with a tiny opening I had to crawl through to get inside. Did I mention I'm 6'4"?

This is why I Work 2 Rant.

What is it that you do anyway?

My coworker has to move her office early because another department apparently really wants it. Building maintenance told her that she has to draw up her own blue prints of her new office space.

She is a news writer. They are building maintenance. Therefore, I have to draw up my coworker's new office blue prints because no one in this entire establishment knows how to do it, including BUILDING MAINTENANCE.

Party in the Potty!

The warmest place in my office is the bathroom.

Birthday Present

It was my birthday today and my co-workers decided to hide my keyboard, mouse, mouse pad, notepad, and switch my computer monitors on me.

This is why I Work 2 Rant.

"You're Fired!"

I came in late to the office one day because I had a doctor's appointment. By the time I showed up for work, my co-workers had post-it noted my entire computer monitor and had written "You're Fired!" in big letters on it.

This is why I Work 2 Rant.

No help No fun.

Working hard over the weekend for 12 hours with no direction from the boss. Then when its over they say good job, that was hard work. I didn't realize taking credit for other peoples work was that difficult.

"We Kept it Fresh!"

I came back from vacation and my co-workers saran-wrapped every individual item on my desk, as well as saran-wrapped everything to my desk and chair.

This is why I Work 2 Rant.

Impatient

A customer was trying on garments in the fitting room. Fully dressed, she asked someone to grab her a different size so she can compare. A manager gladly obliged and went looking for the garment.

Minutes passed and the manager had failed to return with the garment. Pacing back and forth in the fitting room, she complained, "It's just right there!" I informed her that if she didn't want to wait, she could grab the garment herself. She scoffed, went out of the fitting room to the first rack to grab the garment and stormed back into her room.

Putting in the Hours

I started taking classes to help me improve at doing my job. I had spoken with my boss earlier about it and he said that they'd work around my schedule and if the classes were work-related, they could count it has "work" hours. He lied. I am now a full-time student working 40+ hours a week.

This is why I Work 2 Rant.

WFH

The lead of my department gets to "work from home" three days out of the week. I just started up taking classes that would help me improve at doing my job. I asked if I would be able to work from home for two mornings (not even the entire day!) to cut down on commute and was told that we would have to "discuss" it since it might be too much time out of the office.

Double the Work, Double the Trouble.

It never fails, when someone in your group takes a day off you have to pick up their work. So the expectation level is twice as much. I don't have a twin or a cloan, but I do have doublemint gum.

Under Your Nose

A foreign customer who barely spoke any English approached me and said her shopping bag from another store is missing. She was pointing to a bag she was holding and I asked if it was the same brand/company and couldn't answer me. I also asked if she was sure she had it with her inside the store. She assured me by nodding yes.

So, I went looking around the store looking for a misplaced bag. I announced it on our walkie talkies to other fellow coworkers. I looked in the lost and found. I even asked a manager if anything has been turned in. Nothing.

Five minutes later, the same lady pulled out the "missing shopping bag" from what she was carrying and miraculously "found" it.

Told one thing but another expected.

Given an art project at work and told, "You have free range. Be creative." However when you turn it in for approval, they want it done a different way. Next time treat it like Burger King and you will have it your way the first time.

17th Century Breakdown

I just finished a graphic after an intense hour of work, barely making deadline.

Upon clicking "save", the program had a seizure and crashed. Now I have to explain to 8 different people why my computer from 1682 DOES NOT COMPUTE!

Spelling Overrated

My photographer was editing a video clip and he asked me, "What is the slug for this story?"

I told him, "TSU."

He than asked me, "How do you spell that?"

Overworked

I've been the first one at the office for the last three days.
I've also been the last.

Captain Obvious

Me: Taking part in something clearly not fun.
Coworker: "That looks like fun."
Me: *finger*

I Can Read!

First paragraph of the homepage: "We are located _____".

Email sent to me: "Can you please make it more clear where you are located? Perhaps on the homepage?"

Clarification please?

A customer pointed to the men's department and asked me if it was men's clothing.
