Good grief. Today, at the end of the day, I walked into the kitchen at work to put my mug in the dishwasher. I noticed that someone had left the coffeepot in the sink and it had gotten burnt. So, I thought I'd be nice and clean it. I went to the freezer and got some ice cubes - there were only a few left in the ice bucket, so I poured them into the pot, put the ice bucket back so it wouldn't be in the way, and poured in some salt. I was swishing the ice and salt around to clean the pot when the office manager came in and went to the freezer to get ice. WHILE I'M STILL CLEANING THE POT, she starts yelling at me for not refilling the ice bucket and ice trays. I was like, I don't usually use the ice....and she breaks in and says, but you are now, aren't you? I just said - "there is still ice in there in the trays" and on and on she goes about how rude I am.
I was quite taken aback and said maybe next time I shouldn't bother to clean the pot. But, I'm continuing and it's not coming clean, so I turn the water on hot b/c I'm going to soak it with hot water and soap, and she reaches over and turns it to cold and starts filling ice trays.
What the hell? I just put everything down and walked out. Someone else can clean the damn coffee pot. No good deed goes unpunished. Hell - she didn't know that I wouldn't do the ice when I was done. I don't know, either, I hadn't really thought about it, yet. I was focused on cleaning the coffee pot someone let burn.
Why do people just have to be so bitchy?

Hehehe. I'm tempted, the next time she fills them with water, to go behind her and dump the water out. It will look like she didn't fill them. Hahahahaha!

OMG and then send an email to the ladies and request that no one puts empty ice cube trays into the fridge!

We were all having a bad couple of days. It is very stressful - our bank account got hacked and we've all been dealing with IT going over our system with a fine tooth comb and having to figure out what to do about the closings happening when we don't have an active escrow account. It's stressful all around.

I find there a lot of people like this nowadays. You can be something perfectly innocent like what you were doing. And, someone then reads in some motive into whatever it is and slams you out of the blue. I have had that happen. You are having a perfectly fine day doing whatever you do and then someone slams you out of the blue as if you have just run over their grandma and you are left standing there like WTH!
BTW - called the ethics hotline today b/c we wanted to put firm money into the escrow account to cover the checks coming in until the money gets put back. There are serious rules about not co-mingling funds, so we needed guidance on whether we could do this and then pull it out later to pay ourselves back when the other funds get put back. Seems like a no-brainer, but even the lawyer on the hotline had to check with others and couldn't give us an answer.
The funny thing is, it took the hotline 3 HOURS to call us back. Good thing it wasn't some other kind of hotline. Geesh.

We need a catch phrase for this behavior.

Seriously I have worked with some bitchy people that if i breathe out of my right nostril instead of my left, they read something into that. It stuns me that there are people who just think everything is about them!
Honestly, sometimes working with women is the worst. They have to go leave little notes everywhere about putting the toilet paper on or endless other things. No Sheit Sherlock!!! Gawd.
hahaha! That reminds me, I had to write this up and post it in the restroom after a horrific blowout that landed all over the toilet seat, wall, and floor.
People are pigs. I went in the other day and there was a piece of poop sitting on the toilet seat. I've seen blood smeared around, too. Men's rooms are so much cleaner.
instead of emptying the ice cube trays, put
some salt in each cup - two things can happen:
1. The water won't get cold enough to freeze
2. The cubes (if they DO freeze) will taste
salty; and you can say with all honesty
"Oh X filled them up for us this morning!"
We all have days where the bitchyness just refuses to take a back seat. Try your best to love her despite the fact she was not being a very nice person.
