socially unacceptable

one of these things just happened to me, and i felt obliged to share. people do some things at work that i just never thought would happen in a professional environment. and yet, here are the top three most socially unacceptable things people do at work.

3. change their clothes. in their cube. the other day i walked over to a co-worker's cube to ask a question and he was standing there in an undershirt. awkward.

2. floss in the public restroom. really, if i'm going in to go to the bathroom, i don't want to see you craning your neck to get close to the mirror to pick crap out of your teeth. yuck.

and 1. clip their nails, also in their cube. there's a girl whose cube is near our office and i always hear her nail clippers as they go to town on her fingers AND toes. and everyone knows, you never get them all in the trash can, so that means there are loose nails floating around the office floor. gross.

sorry if these mental images were distrubing, but i felt obliged to share. meaning i did not want to suffer alone in silence any longer.
