      • Not allowed to let nipples or piercings show through my shirts even when it does feel like a meat locker in the office!

        I used to be disgusted... Now I'm just amused

        • I may no longer blurt out in the breakroom "Either somebody farted or someone's cooking broccoli." (I hates broccoli).

          Nor am I allowed to tell my annoying, lazy co-worker to follow me around fanning me with sheets of paper when he asks me for something to do.

            Keep that up at my place of employment, and it would turn from a meat locker to a meat market...

            -Can't throw things at mechanics.
            -Can't throw things at salesmen.
            -Can't give out price quotes for "vehicles that don't suck" (I'm looking at you, 1988 Dodge Lancer!)
            -Still can't throw things at salesmen. (dammit...)

              -Watch the store across the streen burn to the ground and scream, "You missed!"
              -Stand up and scream "Yes!" at the top of my lungs when the elsectrisity goes out

              • 153. Wearing stickers that say "As Advertised", "Take Me Home, I'm Delicious", etc. isn't part of the image we want to show customers

                We had these great stickers that were in the Butcher Block that we used to tell the new hires they had to wear on their name tags for their first week. They said, "I'M NEW...TAKE ME HOME AND TRY ME" in flourescent orange. I think this one is perfectly acceptable! Love your list. I would have threatened to fire your ass repeatedly, but would have been laughing right next to you.

                • And yet, oddly enough, no one said anything to the Double D Farms sticker I wore.

                  Actually, the owner doesn't actually look AT me. He looks above and to the side. Loser.

                  He notices the stickers on other people's uniforms, though.

                    • Must never again sing Monty Python's "Lumberjack song" whenever I see the Lawn and Garden specialist bundled up in a sweatshirt and a flannel shirt over it.
                    • Even though it is funny as hell
                    • And cracked up a couple people in the break room who were familiar with said Lumberjack Song.

                    • When I witness a couple arguing I am not to sing Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart. Loudly. In direct earshot of said couple.

                      When asked why you can't handle a customer, the excuse "Because I hate stupid people?" is not valid.

                        ~Throw lit matches at the women who bathe in cheap perfume to see if they'll ignite.

                        ~Hand out deodorant and douche bags...if not toilet paper with instructions...to the hygienically challenged.

                              65: Other peoples open e-mail accounts are not toys.
                              Got busted for that today...Apparently, young college students that are applying for jobs as "network security" types get kind of whiny when you send out spam e-mails about them loving cheese....

                              Through there open e-mail accounts...

                              That they leave open...

                              Days after they work their one shift a week...

                              Over & over again.

                              Hmmm...Network secure yet?

                              PS: It was a joke... No ill will at all, but holy dogs**t!! Don't be a whiny bitch about leaving your e-mail client open to potential EMPLOYERS that you're trying to impress about your security skills. If you're so good at your job...LOG OUT


                              PPS: I didn't know who was on the list anyways...I just hit "select all" for contacts.

                              I think this will be filed under "Lessons learned".

                              #316 Coworkers e-mail account are not toys...Even if they're stupid enough to leave them open over & over & over & over again.



                              You'd figure I'd have learned by now too.....DOH!!
