Argh!!!!

My office is located right outside of the break room where our cold/hot water filter is located. It's broken, so all day I have been hearing people say "Oh, did you know it's broken?" (facepalm)

Now the repair guy is here, and I keep hearing water running into a bucket. :wtf: ((((runs to the bathroom)))

HAHA - I am the type of person that would put up a huge sign that says, "NO, I didn't know the water filter was broken!" on the outside of my closed office door. LOL

I would be the sarcastic ass that says "it's been working just fine for me all day..."

Argue with them! "No, it's not"
Make them prove it's broken!

 

[Smee]

HHHHEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now wait just one darn minute here, toots!

Lol, you guys have some great ideas on how to handle the obvious.

As far as the water running, I'd be fired. I go enough as it is, and I would end up just having to stay in there. No way my bosses would be happy about that.

Well, if it helps any, your post made me feel better. Or, I don't know, maybe I feel worse, but at least feel some companionship. I work with 4 & 5 year olds in a public school. We get so tired of them asking the obvious and telling us the obvious. Like if you drop your marker and are bending down to pick it up, they will still tell you "You dropped your marker," like you have no clue. Or standing at the sink in the girl's room washing your hands and one asks, "Are you washing your hands, Mrs. Hogan?" But if I answer with scarcasm, "No, I'm flying a kite," most of them don't get it. We have been trying to teach them to ask/say smart things, but it sounds from your original post that perhaps there is no hope.

I am able to laugh over stuff like that...but the running water into a bucket is what drove me bonkers! Normally I have very high patience, but yup...the running water did me in! Its funny though because I love the sound of rain/waterfalls, but running faucets and the like hurt my bladder!

On a bladder remark.. there is nothing like getting halfway through making a batch of soap, and then realizing you have to use the bathroom, and you are on your last pair of gloves...

Our office actually used to be a part of our break room. We're now separated by only a retractable wall which usually isn't a problem until 4 or 10 ladies decide to go to break all at once. The talking loudly, laughing and "Turn the TV up so we can hear it on the other side of the building!" really gets on my last nerve. Not to mention leaving the TV turned up after they leave the break room.

I stamp a LOT of papers in the course of my day (500 - 1000+) by hand and I actually had one of the ladies jokingly say "Hey, keep it down in there!". I think...I'm doing my job, YOU keep it down in there!
