Office Ettiquette


I was in my office adding the finishing touches to the training board when New Guy showed up in my doorway.

"So, you know how I told you my wife ordered those sliders yesterday?"

Clip.... Clip Clip....

What the hell?! Is this guy casually leaning in my door way, clipping his fingernails??

"We ended up getting 2 orders of fries, 4 pops, and sliders for $25. It was $4 extra for cheese."

"That's an amazing deal! You showed me one of the sliders, it's almost the size of a regular burger."

Thank God I wear glasses, I was dodging shrapnel. He wasn't even clipping them into a waist<b> basket... </font></b>Trudging through fingernails just doesn't seem as quaint and charming as trudging through peanut shells in those trendy pubs.

"I know. Well worth the deal! It's take out only, because of the executive order, but it would be worth the drive to just get out."

Which leaves me to wonder... how friendly is *too* friendly when it comes to office comfort zones?

I know I wouldn't just show up in my coworkers office and let the fingernails fly...

But, that's me.

On a related side note... I totally want to try those sliders! He showed me one of the ones he brought for his lunch and the thing looked amazing! It really is a fantast deal, I just have to remember what restaurant he got them at.

If New Guy does that again, just give him a clip round his ear 'ole

    Quoting MrWrong4RghtNow:
    If he ever brings sliders to work, eye those bad boys for trimmings and nose hairs. You’re welcome.
Oh my... LOL I certainly hope he isn't manscaping at the dinner table.

    Oh Lord- nose picking and spotting on the street yup my gross tolerance is shot
My gross tolerance is minimal at the moment too. Working with 250 other people kind of sucks the life out of the gross tolerance meter. Someone is always doing something offensive...

    "Hey New Guy...it would be great if you would run to the back and grab a broom and dust pan and sweep up those nail clippings so I don't have to walk on them!"

Even better, I keep a broom and dust pan behind my office door...

    The ACTUAL threshold - is picking your nose.
oh, holy crap! That just reminded me of Nose Hairs and his cliff hangers... LOL Haven't seen them since we had to start wearing masks. I guess they're good for at least one thing.

    Oh for fucks sake. I would have told him off. Do not even clip your nail into my wastebasket. Do the shit in your own space. Some people....
This guy wore a bow tie to work friday.... I don't think social queues are his thing.

Thankfully I don't keep chairs in my office, it could have been toe nails....

    When I had my shop there was a potential customer that kept hocking and spitting in my driveway, I had to tell him, "do you mind, I lay on that driveway and work on bikes". I lost the job, but fortunately I lost the spitter with it.
Was he using chewing tobacco? I've never understood the appeal of chewing tobacco.... Ruins the teeth, your constantly spitting brown stuff, and it's really gross all the way around. Ugh...

    He could have been a Base ball player making adjustments in his pants, people are just not able to realize what it means to be respectable in public.. hope the slider was good..
I haven't tried them... He actually lives about an hour away so if I do try them out, it's going to be on a road trip day when I want to get out of the apartment. Today was not that day... Considering we're in the throws of snow-pocalypse 2020.

This kinda ranks right up there with picking your nose while having a conversation....
