Is it just me???

[Jeizzavelle]

Am I some kind of a psychotic freak or does this bother anyone else? My problem is people in my office. My office is tiny and MY space and I don't like people in here. I really freak if they are at my desk. I feel like some sort of stapler wielding nutcase. Does that happen to anyone else or should I order myself a red swingline?

[balou]

You need to work from home. :D

[Satchel]

I think I need to work from home too - I hate when people come into my area... I stop what I'm doing and watch them until they leave :eek:

[balou]

I always wanted rig up a hinged, swinging window screen on the doorway of my cubicle. That way they could still see me and talk to me but gave me my space. I also hated how they would come & hang on the top of my wall and get inky fingerprints all over. So I hung stuff up along the edge. No worries now though. Just me & the birds singing outside.

[Jeizzavelle]

I need to barricade the door. I hate people. They suck far too much of my air.

[Logo-Mechanix]

Yeah, I have a guy here at work who likes to get right in my cube, which is not very big, and he stares at my computer screen like he's trying to figure out what I am doing or something. I hate that. I also hate when people feel they need to touch your arm when they are talking to you, that really bothers me, there used to be a salesman here that would do that and one day I just couldn't take it anymore and I bluntly stated please don't touch me anymore.

hehe!...until you get a couple of nut-case robins stalking your windows and pecking at them for days! :eek:

[Drorain]

if people touch me...I go right for the jugula

yup...like a wolf

we've lost some good salesmen, but it was all self defense

[morea]

ooh, I hate it when people come into my work area. At the last job, people would wander around because they were bored, so they would come in to my office, behind my desk and watch me work.

That drove me nuts!

[Drorain]

I think I need to get an oversized plushie mushroom on a solid wooden dowl...then I can whack people with it and say "HAHA you've been stamped"

[Jeizzavelle]

My only defense is the picture od a gopher holding a drill bit that looks like a mace that says "You want it when?"

[fyred1]

...so they would come in to my office, behind my desk and watch me work. Yeah! GRRRRRRRR! I had a boss that would do that. He'd stand there and ask, "What did you just do? How did you do that?" or say, "Show me how you did that". There's no better way to bust my groove than to stand over my shoulder while I'm working. I don't even like it when my wife does it.

[Jeizzavelle]

I have a hated co-worker who does that all the time.She considers herself the know all about signmaking but I know 10x more about the program than she does. Then there's the pres. who stands behind me watching and putting his arm around me. Pancaker. Get your pancaking hands off me! Yuck. I have to bathe now. I feel dirty.

[morea]

you should wait until he does that and start scratching wildly, muttering, "rashes! rashes! rashes!"

that should make him stop touching you.

[Jeizzavelle]

LMAO! I might try that!

[morea]

it works. ;)

[Logo-Mechanix]

When this guy at work decides to take up residence in my cube a little flatulence usually does the trick, especially when he doesn't know it's coming (silent but deadly).

[Jeizzavelle]

rofl. It doesn't work. Good idea. You'd think it would.

[carter the artist]

I need to barricade the door. I hate people. They suck far too much of my air.

That's why in the army, we had a term for idiots. We called them "oxygen-thieves".

Just a new wrinkle for your cranium.

[fyred1]

When this guy at work decides to take up residence in my cube a little flatulence usually does the trick, especially when he doesn't know it's coming (silent but deadly).Only guys can do that on command. Girls just don't have it in 'em.

[Jeizzavelle]

Oxygen thieves. I like that. That's right up there with well, yeah, that's good.

[Jeizzavelle]

Only guys can do that on command. Girls just don't have it in 'em.
Oh, yeah?? :D

[fyred1]

:( The picture I had of you in my mind has just been destroyed...

[Jeizzavelle]

Baseball, baseball, baseball. What do you want? You think guys have cornered the market on rudeness. I grew up playing with the boys. I can even crush a beer can on my forehead. Yeah, that's right. I even know the secret handshake!
All that and I still can't repel my boss.

[TheBluePanda]

I'm a socially weird creature. I get freaked out and have panic attacks oftentimes when people are at my cube. Especially if its someone from management. But other people I like having in my cube. It just depends.

[fyred1]

All right... Which one of you taught Jeizzavelle the secret handshake?! Is nothing sacred anymore? :mad:

[Jeizzavelle]

In my office there is a walkway between the crap. Rolls of material, desk, bookshelf, 2 tables, trash can.....crap. People stand in my walkway and although there is a second doo I feel trapped. The bathroom door is also in my office (just inside the door) so people are in here all the time. Yeah I get to sit in here trapped with the stench of everyone's poo.

[Jeizzavelle]

Another thing I hate. Pencils. Black pen or get away from me. And cotton. Cotton balls are the most vile things on the planet to me.

[morea]

I had a boss with a sense of humor once. one day he decided to stand outside my cubicle and it was bugging the hell out of me... so when I noticed he was still standing there looking at me, I crawled under my desk.

He asked me what the heck I was doing, and I told him that he was bothering me and I wouldn't come out until he went away. It worked, too. He looked confused, then he went away. :D

[fyred1]

What's wrong with pencils?!
I did this with pencils.

[Jeizzavelle]

That's beautiful. If I could make a pencil do that I would like them. They make a squeaky noise when you move them.

[fyred1]

Thank you, Jeizzavelle. Should I put it into my online portfolio?

[Jeizzavelle]

If you want to include drawings yes. I don't know what you do. I think it's awesome. Do you know her or was it out of your head. If you could get a picture of her to go with it....wow.

[fyred1]

I'm primarily a web guy, but I tend toward illustration, I guess.

The drawing was done from a photograph. Lack of imagination is my forte. hehe!

[Jeizzavelle]

To showcase you rtalwnt I would post a photo and the drawing. That's amazing. You could tattoo as a side job with that kind of talent. Your shading is good and everything!

[Jeizzavelle]

I once got hated co-worker to lave by telling her to get out I was busy downloading porn.

[fyred1]

Thank you for all of the compliments!

I don't think I'd ever get into tatooing. I don't care for them much, myself. I do, however, have a pierced nipple.

Edit: Sorry for taking the thread in another direction.

[LeftBrain Artist]

I'm not a touchy feely person myself - but I realize some people are just like that, so it doesn't bother me as much as it used to. I don't mind people watching me work either, I'd actually like some of my clients to sit behind my shoulder for the entire day some time, just so they can see exactly what I have to put up with and how well I handle it - and see the level of patience, understanding and fairness I have.

[Jeizzavelle]

I just want everyone to go the hell away and leave me alone so I can work. I hate people. They are too difficult. I dress funny and have tattoos to repel them.

[reuber1]

My "neutral" face is one that looks like I'm pissed off...or constipated, one of the two. I just glare at someone when they get all up in my cube. Pancakers.

[Logo-Mechanix]

I even hung a skull and cross bones at the entrance to my cube, that doesn't work either, in fact I think it draws them in.

[Jeizzavelle]

The 2 secretaries and 2 bosses buzz around me like bees. The shop guys are scared to death of me. I even try What do YOU want and it doesn;t get rid of them. I'll just have to adjust.

[reuber1]

I don't think it ever matters. You could write DO NOT ENTER on the floor where the entrance is, and layer the edge with candles and satanic ritual symbols and someone will still barge on in. I think it's time to upgrade to bear traps.

[Neuro]

I have one person who brings back press issues to our department and she tends to stand right on top of you until you fix the problem. Several times when I have been on the phone I have had to ask the person to hold on and then rudely tell her that I was on the phone and would be awhile. WtF?! Is she blind?! The worse part though is she freakin' wears enough perfume to kill a horse. Why? What the hell are you trying to cover up? My guess is her boozin' before work but that's just a guess. :P

[Jeizzavelle]

Bear traps....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. *googling bear traps*

[DivineDesign]

I am getting a traffic light from spencers....red light-don't come in or dont' bother me; yellow light- yield caution when talking to me; green light- come on in! :)

[Jeizzavelle]

Kinda leaning towards the bear traps....

[Logo-Mechanix]

I am getting an aluminum baseball bat from the local sporting goods store. And the next SOB that wanders into my cube for no reason other than to stare at me or my computer or ask a stupid question that they have asked a thousand times will find out why I use an aluminum bat, because you can swing it faster than wood thereby not letting up on the beating.

[Jeizzavelle]

I could just park my claymore next to my desk. It's bigger than a bat. :D The can of prison grade mace I keep on my desk hasn't helped....

[Logo-Mechanix]

I'll bet if you cough incessantly everytime someone enters your cube and mutter the word damn TB, that might work. But I like bear traps and baseball bats better, they add an element of excitement, not to mention good exercise to the situation.

[fyred1]

Nah... Claymores are too messy -- unless you want to speckle paint your office ala Jackson Pollock, that is. Flamethrowers on the other hand...

[Jeizzavelle]

After you spray them with the mace you can slice them at will. If I make a mess, bonus. I get the creep from the shop (the "cleaning tech") to clean it up. And maybe he'll slip and break something...and I can kick him. Ok, I'm getting too excited.

[fyred1]

I think you need to change your avatar to something a little more appropriate; something along the lines of, say, Jason Voorhees maybe?

[reuber1]

I just want them out so I don't catch any goddamn mumps.

[fyred1]

How about a huge quarantine sign?

That'll never work, everyone and their mother has a tattoo these days, (except me, but I've got long hair and wear a biker jacket, and sport the goatee 6 - 9 months out of the year). Best way to repel people is to do the following - stop bathing regularly, dont use deodorant, and dont wipe after #2 - although I'm not keen on trying it, I'll bet its pretty effective - and I imagine it would be like working on the farm - you'd get used to the smell quick enough.

[fyred1]

Sounds like most of the bikers that I've met... You forgot to mention carry a bottle of whiskey, leave food on your face and stare down everyone using the "I've killed before" expression.

[Samakimoto Graphics]

We are remodelling the offices in my work place, my cubicle is first in the comp room area, so everyone seems to be obliged to speak to me :rolleyes: . I got the moving guys to stack boxes of publications high enough to block the glass level of the cubicle and leave just a tiny space for the entrance/exit :D:D:D

Not possible. That's too gross. I have 7 tattoos. One is a huge back piece that's a dragon sitting on a skull. The wings spread from shoulder to shoulder. Every time I get a new one I go out into the office to show off the oozing, scabby mess that is a fresh tattoo to gross them out. They stay away for a few days generally. It seems like the more gruesome the image the better. If I wake up in a really crappy mood I'll wear a halter top so the dragon is showing. Although that usally brings the pres. into my office to check out the frontal view I turn my back and it grosses him out. :D
BTW: Love the idea of stacking boxes in front of your cube. Genius!

:eek: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!

But clever. I can't even get myself to get a second earring hole.
