I've worked at places where it's against company policy to not park nose-out. Like, they will actually pull you out of a meeting to make you go fix your parking job. It's probably just people that work at one of those places parking like that out of habit.

I work at a gold mine, and every car park is reverse-parking only. It's so that if we have to evacuate, we're not waiting on people to back out.

Haifisch posted:And whose job is it to roam the parking lot looking for people parked "incorrectly"? To your first point, someone will report it in the site-wide hazard alert system, and it will be discussed at the pre-start meeting the next day. To your second point, I absolutely agree, but I'm not one to rock the boat for inconsequential stuff like this.

If my 5’5” rear end can shift boxes in a cart so the checker can easily scan them, anyone can. They’re boxes in a loving shopping cart, they’re not actually heavy. Don’t make the scanner come round and lift it themselves one-handed.

Have any of you ever had to drive a truck or full sized work van? It is absolutely safer faster and easier backing into a space than backing out of it.

They are also often gone by the time I get out. It's just a thing people do, I'm not going to assume they have a legitimate reason for doing it.

I used to have lots of meetings with UPS reps, center managers, etc. years ago at our office. Every one of them started as drivers. They all drove big SUVs and they all backed into their spots out of habit. Not a one of them ever pulled in straight. It was hilarious to watch them come in all at once in their identical Expeditions and back into their spots one at a time. When I questioned it, they would just say that they were so used to backing in from the years of driving package or tractor-trailer that they just didn't feel comfortable pulling in straight. I even asked our rep to pull in straight just for me. He refused. I don't think he even knew how to do it anymore after 25 years at UPS.

The entrances/exits of super markets are a huge peeve of mine. While it's not the doors themselves, it's the people using them. People go through the first part of the airlock, grab a cart, head through the second door and just stop to remove coats, purses, wipe down cart handles, whatever. Same poo poo happens on the way out, gotta fish the keys out of your pocket/purse, zip up the coat and put your hat back on. Why didn't you do that while you were staring at the poor cashier ringing all your poo poo up? The worst is when two people who know each other meet at the doors. One person going in, one going out, usually they both have a cart, they stop and start catching up as if there's no one else in the world, you could both go outside and talk, or I don't know call each other sometime. There are other people behind you who would like to get their shopping done and go home, move aside you loving morons!

Anyone in a pedestrian area who just stops dead to chat/look around/check their phone/etc or worse, starts backing up, should be turned into soylent green. Same goes for people who park their carts parallel to another, blocking a whole aisle.

Sharing a single bathroom with my workmates is really making my blood boil. I ordered a thing of Poo-Pourri spray for the bathroom since all my male co-workers take their daily dumps at the office. Just seemed like good sense since we all share the facilities (there are 7 of us in total, three ladies and four guys), plus my desk is about 10 feet away from the door. If you've never used it before, the idea is that you spray a little into the toilet water before you go and it traps the stink. Works great. My other co-workers are good about it, but my boss has no idea how to use this product even though the instructions are printed on the little bottle. He goes first and then uses the spray, which at that point is worthless so my office space smells powerfully like cinnamon-scented poo poo for about 30 minutes. It's every loving day and it's driving me nuts. It's not that loving hard to do, and one day I'm going to end up exploding on him for it. We don't have an HR department or I'd have complained about it ages ago.

It's deliberate. Making you smell his poo poo is an alpha move to confirm that he's the boss and you're the underling.

People defaulting to male pronouns when talking about someone whose gender they don't know. (This is mostly on the internet, where someone's screen name often gives no indication of their gender, but I've also seen it in real life for gender-neutral first names.) It's 2019. The singular they has been a thing for a long while. Using male pronouns when there's a perfectly serviceable gender-neutral option is dumb and stupid, and besides it can be triggering for some folks. Just use "they", for gently caress's sake.

Most people are just used to lysol which I've never seen people use before the poop, let alone spraying it into the water. Sounds like you need to start leaving passive aggressive notes on the door/in the bathroom about it until HR sends an email out telling people to knock it off. That seems to be the only way to enact change in offices - annoy people until someone else takes care of it.

Mikl posted:it can be triggering for some folks I kind of hate this term now. Not in your post, because you actually used it properly, just in general. It used to be used to denote something that would be mostly innocuous to most people, but could be upsetting to someone due to circumstance or a past traumatic event or something. Now people mostly use it as a general term to mean they don't agree with someone. See also: liberal. You are triggered! Eat poo poo snowflake! I am not owned!! Also I'd rather smell poo poo than smell Poo-Pourri.

People who find it off-putting when you are devoted to your job and are willing to put in extra unpaid time to get things done. I'm trying to make a good first impression here, but people keep saying that finishing jobs they give you 2-3 weeks to do in a few days is bad. If the job is done correctly then why is it a bad thing? I know it can be annoying as a code leader to delegate tasks and have someone keep asking for something else to do, but I feel like if i'm finishing jobs too quickly, give me something harder. I'm not going to drag my feet. I need an overwhelming sense of urgency to be productive, my mind doesn't have a "relaxed pace" function.

yeah I eat rear end posted:If the job is done correctly then why is it a bad thing? It devalues everyone else for no gain on your part. The entire point of going to work is to get paid, the second I stop getting paid is the second I let whatever is in my hands drop to the floor and walk out. Your mindset is good if it's a small business, but in anything with a significant number of employees you're just making everyone else's job harder for no reason.

Mikl posted:People defaulting to male pronouns when talking about someone whose gender they don't know. Kinda in the same vein, but we just got our first ever male dog after decades of female only, and my parents can. not. stop using female pronouns every single time they reference him. ive been correcting them for two weeks but its like second nature to them and requires actively trying to remember. Its not at all the same as to a person, but its very annoying to me the constant misgendering of my dog. When i come across new dogs, i refer to them with they and them until it becomes obvious, but sometimes its like they aren't even trying. Maybe they are trying to annoy me, who knows. Don't give the dog a complex.

Well as a new guy I don't feel like I've earned the right yet to only work the hours I bill and nothing else. I guess it's a bad habit I inherited from academia where hours per week is just a joke and even if it says 40 hours a week in your contract the real expected number is more like 80+. I guess the signal i'm trying to send is: crack the whip as hard as you want, I'll do it if it means I can keep this job. Maybe my attitude will change once i've proven myself fully, but I haven't yet imho.

for the record, I don't tell them I did. And the extra time in these cases has been minimal. None of the jobs they have given me would take any reasonable person the time they estimated. Unless they tell me they are willingly defrauding the government by sandbagging ourselves intentionally, i'm not going to take longer to finish a thing than it actually takes me.

It's just such a weird attitude that doing things fast is bad. Even if I hadn't worked a little extra and confined it within standard work hours, I would have still beaten the time estimate by weeks. Like the last job was given to me friday at around 2pm and was told it was a few weeks scale project, i worked on it a couple hours friday, several hours monday which was technically a holiday, and finished it by the end of the day today. That's all - I didn't touch it friday night-sunday. I'm not talking about tens of unpaid hours here. If I get fired for doing my job, then that will be my new pet peeve.
