Many of us probably come home each night and complain to our spouses about how stupid our co-workers are. I think this especially happens if you are in IT and are faced with a complete lack of competency by management/project leaders/etc. and so on.
Well, here's your chance to find out how your
co-workers rank among the stupidest workers from around the world. Post your story (changing names to protect the innocent - and your job) to see if your company's numbskull can top the bonehead moves of others.
Categories can be set, votes can be cast, and laughs(and moans) can be had when the truth comes out......

I REALLY REALLY like this idea. I hate my job and coworkers. |
|
| |
My co-workers are great....of course...I do all the hiring so if they were idiots, it would be MY fault! (One or two idiots have made it through the interview process and been hired....they don't last long....we are cruel people :-) |
|
| |
From one job to another, from one psychopath to another. Same difference. |

Unless you worked as a porn actor. |

If you wanted to hoover your living room, and there were no plug sockets free, which of these would you unplug to make room for it?: |
|
| |
1) TV
2) VCR
3) Playstation
4) Fridge-freezer |
|
| |
And would you plug it back in when you were done hoovering? |
|
| |
telling social commentary. would you be active participant in theatre of cruelty by just complaining... woe's me or would you actually think of solution. on this one I think you're still part of the problem.. . i don't think idiots realize that they're idiots and you're an idiot for not helping yourself get out of the situation... it's part of your ego... part of being human maybe (?) |

The only reason I'm still at my job is so I can get even more racist, misogynistic comments out of the idiot who owns the company in full view and within hearing range of witnesses i.e. coworkers. Today he said he was going to make my life a living hell in front of 6 people quite loudly. The method to his madness is to get people to quit, but to cover his tracks by threatening people who need their jobs with expulsion. Complete psycho. I guess he's forgotten my Mother just retired from working for my attorney, who is my Fathers best friend. Shame is, my attorney is 150 miles away. I'd love to see him (he's an excellent former Judge - went back to practicing law on his own accord) go after this guy personally instead of having to refer it to an attorney in another County... and he's even more vicious than the soon to be former employer that I'm going to wipe my ass with. |

[sunnier16] - Let me be the first to point out that this is not a "woe is me" whine fest. |
|

You are missing the simple fact that we can all learn from reading these stupid acts of idiocy that are committed each day in the workplace. We can even direct the idiot to this site to let them read and realize the errors of their ways so that they are not repeated (which is an annoying tendency of idiots I've found) |
|

"By exposing the ugly truth we take the first steps to a solution" - J.P. Idiot |
|
| |
Plus some of the stories are really funny. |
|
| |
and to [waugsqueke's] "I'd rather complain than do anything about it": |
|
| |
Entering your idiot's bonehead moments into this site is a form of stress relief that sure beats going home and kicking the dog in frustration - or coming back to work the next day with a mini arsenal and blowing them all away! |
|
| |
--not taking the time to realize implications of an idea before criticizing it: #48 in the series "My life sucks and I'd rather complain than do anything about it". |
|
| |
-- it seems you probably have more than 50 of these 'eh? |
|
| |
Once again, the point is that this is a constructive way to make light of a situation that can be annoying sometimes to almost unbearable at other times. And you can learn what not to do from the experiences of others. |
|
| |
As far as blowing away the co-workers - can you say
s a r c a s m ? ? ? |
|
| |
I'm content. In my office, the idiots have to work with me. |

"Happy little moron,
doesn't give a damn.
Wish *I* was a moron...
What the hell, I guess I am." |
