Workplace Shenanigans: From Bathroom Bandits to Microwave Meltdowns
We unpack the hilariously cringey behaviors that make office life both entertaining and unbearable, from bathroom bandits to microwave criminals.
• That person who uses the same bathroom stall every morning with their identifiable shoes
• Office cougars who make inappropriate comments and invade personal space
• Coworkers with chronic bad breath who refuse all mint offerings
• The unspoken rules of workplace potlucks and who's "allowed" to bring homemade food
• Office microwave etiquette and foods that should be banned (like fish and popcorn)
• Workplace overachievers who monitor other people's comings and goings
• The fine art of workplace cussing and its surprising motivational benefits
Let us know your workplace shenanigans stories! We definitely want to be all up in the business.

Speaker 1:We need to talk about it. We need to talk about that so this. So this episode is going to be called workplace shenanigans and uh, um, how should we begin that? Because I have a lot of stories that I can go into and I would do. What is your experience with workplace shenanigans?
Speaker 2:uh, I think I have a few things. I'll start slow.
Speaker 1:I'm sure you have a few.
Speaker 2:I've been working for a long time. I feel like I've been working a long time, and there's always some foolishness.
Speaker 1:Always.
Speaker 2:There are always people that leave an imprint in your mind.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Not in the best way, I think they like it.
Speaker 1:We'll start with that. We'll start with that, we'll start with that.
Speaker 2:We'll start with uh, let's see Um how about this?
Speaker 1:I got one. Just let me start off. How about?
Speaker 2:that Okay.
Speaker 1:Okay, cause I know you got so many, you just don't even know what to pick from. Or do you got something?
Speaker 2:Well, I had something until I was rudely, that I was rudely. That's one of the things that I want to talk about. People at work interrupt you. Ok, let's not do that, don't be that person.
Speaker 1:But I'll start. I won't be that person, I'll just shut up.
Speaker 2:Thank you, I'll start it off. Let's talk about those people that come to work. Work usually starts around 6 am.
Speaker 1:OK.
Speaker 2:Between 6 and 10, you can come to work, but there's always that individual that likes to. How can I say this?
Speaker 1:Say it.
Speaker 2:Doo-doo every morning at work. I guess the coffee kicks in from the commute from home.
Speaker 1:They can't do it at home.
Speaker 2:To the office and they feel the need to doo-doo every morning at work. And it makes me very angry to do-do every morning at work, at work, and it makes me very angry. Every time I go in that particular bathroom I see the same feet in the same stall with the same shoes on and that person is dropping logs.
Speaker 1:So wait a minute. You look at feet of course you don't so the when you see. So if you look at somebody's feet while they're in the bathroom, when you come out looking for them in the hallway for those feet, I I'm looking for them in the hallway. You're looking for those feet.
Speaker 2:Yes, I am. I'm looking for those feet, so change your shoes if you don't want to be identified as the doo-doer.
Speaker 1:Or put your feet up so she can't see them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, put your feet up, but stop doo-dooing or go to a different floor. We have a lot of floors, just go lot of floors, just go somewhere else and and doodoo or doodoo at home that's their bathroom, if they want to go and they want to blow it up when they get to work, it's disgusting because we all have to see it and and we'll smell it and I hope you're not seeing it it's just gross. We're seeing the same feet so what would you?
Speaker 1:so? You want them to use the potty before they come to the to work. Yes or go somewhere else.
Speaker 2:I mean, it's a common, it's in a common space that everybody goes to. So when you walk in, you automatically turn around because you can't use the restroom or even use the mirror or wash your hands, because that person is doodooing.
Speaker 1:Okay, so apparently you know who that person is. You know them. Shoes.
Speaker 2:I know those shoes, those brown loafers that lean to the right. I know who you are.
Speaker 1:I know who you are, you know, you know who you are. So hey, you put, so you're on notice those little brown to the sides leaning over against the lean brown loafers. Stop, stop it okay stop the doodling stop the doodling wait till you know or go to another floor go to another floor.
Speaker 2:you heard Floors 10 through 14. Have no one there, just an FYI. Just use those.
Speaker 1:Wow Okay.
Speaker 2:Well, we hope they're listening.
Speaker 1:You know, we hope that they're listening. Also, if you have them brown, lean over to the side. Gangsta, lean loafers, go to another floor.
Speaker 2:Or stop wearing the loafers. Just switch it out. Switch it out, yeah the loafers.
Speaker 1:Just switch it out, switch it out yeah okay, okay, well, that made your turn okay, well, I got a worse, a workplace shenanigans episode, something that happened to me and, um, I'm never going to say any names and all however it is, but I'm sure that this young, or should I say older, lady know who she are, who she is. Okay, so I remember this one time. Um, it's this co-worker that used to have her office right next to mine okay and um, she was an older lady.
Speaker 1:However, you know she knew her, she knew her stuff and all. She's been there like forever, yeah, but um, they moved my office next to hers now, um, she will always say stuff like I bet you get all the ladies okay I was like, okay she. She always say you looking good, don't hurt him yeah, now, this is an old cougar.
Speaker 1:Okay, now she said, yeah, she's saying like little stuff like this, and I just kind of blew it off, you know, however it is, you know how did it make you feel? It made me feel cheap, sleazy, all that dirty, just because she was like she was. She was not my type anyway. And then she was older. I just felt like maybe I ain't got it no more, because so what's wrong with the older woman? It was nothing wrong with older woman, though, but it's just her, it was just her uh her, uh, her delivery.
Speaker 2:Was she too forward for?
Speaker 1:you, she was too forward. Like I was scared.
Speaker 2:Oh, you were a piece of, treated like a piece of meat. Yeah, I was scared. Okay, I wonder how that feels.
Speaker 1:And then you know she would always say stuff like the cologne you got on it smell real good on you. I'm like you got that close to me to know that the cologne smelled real good on me, like it smells good on your skin.
Speaker 2:So she was older. She was older, so were you wearing like Old Spice or Brute.
Speaker 1:I don't know what I was wearing, but every time she said it I stopped wearing it. Oh, okay. I'd never wear that cologne again. And you know it's like she always had on these accessories too, like these. You know it's like she always had on these accessories too, like these little bracelets and stuff. She was always wearing. And it wasn't like one or two, it was like tons of them on.
Speaker 2:Both arms.
Speaker 1:It was like so much accessories on her arms. It sounded like she had like a whole bunch of change in her pocket.
Speaker 2:It was jingling.
Speaker 1:Now, and then she had this lipstick. Now I don't know if she was rushing to get to work or what it was, but the color never matches whatever she had on and she will always have this little piece of lipstick on her tooth.
Speaker 2:Maybe she was talking and like it's always on the same tooth. Yeah, she's. Maybe she moves her mouth a certain way and and the lipstick gets on her tooth. Was it a side tooth?
Speaker 1:it's a side tooth and every, every day it'd be like on the same tooth.
Speaker 2:At least it's not missing, you know, at least maybe side tooth wasn't missing. I don't know.
Speaker 1:But it just made me feel I feel like those were shenanigans and it was like it made me feel a little bit uncomfortable, a little bit. I think that's the first time, or maybe that's the second time, I've ever felt uncomfortable in a workplace environment and all. So that was just like one of my environment and all that was just one of my experiences and all she would always say all these little slick things oh, you're looking good.
Speaker 2:Did you report her? No, I didn't report her. Did you go to HR and say hey, I feel like I'm being harassed.
Speaker 1:Could you say that was like sexual harassment? It's how you perceive sure you've taken sexual harassment or sexual harassment, as they call it how do I look going to hr be like, listen, like the lady that's door to me with the lipstick on her tooth, you know, and with all these, accessories, you know, but is it?
Speaker 2:she was, uh, I think she had like her kids were like my age oh, yeah, she wanted you, yeah, she I ain't got nothing to give her, you know, but some more work shout out to the cougars if you can pull, if you're a baddie and you can pull shout out to the cougars half your age and you still have your side tooth shout out to you yeah, and then even her, I think.
Speaker 1:So I could be like looking too deep into this and all, but I promise you, like I used to see her on the other floors before she moved down to my off, like next to me and her clothes, like she stepped up her clothes game and everything like her dresses I mean thank you.
Speaker 2:I think, whatever she she's done or did, no, she caught your attention. At least you were looking she's looking.
Speaker 1:No, she. She caught my attention because I felt some type of way okay, well and that was it did she wear a leopard or? Lace. She did all that. Her little purse was like leopard oh, like I'm like animal print. Yeah, older women like she was like so I will always try to get my work done and leave before her. So that's just one of my little uh spills of shenanigans and all, and she used to do that on purpose you think so?
Speaker 2:I know so okay, okay so she can make me feel some type of way she ain't pulling this one well, you should have reported her so that she can apologize and you can tell her how it made you feel. Silence is agreeance.
Speaker 1:No, it's not. Don't say anything. That means you agree. No, I don't want you to bring me nothing. I mean, I got so many of these words.
Speaker 2:She brought you some muffins. She brought you some muffins. She brought you some muffins she brought you some muff Never. She wanted to be your muffin.
Speaker 1:Never, oh, no your pound cake.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1:Okay, why don't you give me one of yours?
Speaker 2:Okay, I've worked with some characters.
Speaker 1:I'm getting chills just thinking about that.
Speaker 2:You need a barf bag.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:I worked with some characters, but one thing that I can appreciate is a cussing coworker. I find those are the best days when you have a cussing coworker.
Speaker 1:For no reason.
Speaker 2:Just random outbursts of profanity. It perks me up, it draws my attention in and it makes me want to stay at work and produce more and more.
Speaker 1:So you messy.
Speaker 2:I love it, you're right, you messy. I love it. I was on the call or typing something up one day. I remember this was several years ago and it was an older gentleman. He was calling someone in to come in for an appointment and I guess the person that my co-worker was speaking to did not respond in a way that he preferred and my co-worker said something and his octaves went up and he said um, I can't remember exactly what he said but I heard, no, I, I don't remember what he said but at the end of what he said.
Speaker 2:You know what he said. No, I I don't remember what he said, but at the end of what he said it was the biggest mf I have ever heard in my life. So it made me stop what I was doing and I looked up and I was just like oh, I had to look around. We're not at work anymore like what's going? On, and then there was another co-worker.
Speaker 2:He's, he, he's a hard of hearing he heard that and then he stood up and he says uh but he heard this is something wrong, is something going on? And everybody started laughing. But the first co-worker cussed this person out on the phone. So bad. It was like he was at like the club or or playing dominoes or something.
Speaker 1:On the phone, over the phone, over the phone he went from.
Speaker 2:I don't know what happened, but I know the next day that person came in to the office to see him and he got whatever he needed taken care of. So if you cuss at work, Wow. And I'm not talking about just like slip ups every now and then you gotta have that art. Put that stink on yeah, you have to like uh, cuss, loud you gotta put the stink on random times, you know, when higher management is around, those type of cussers, oh yeah thank you, yeah, for your service.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah they. They keep the the workplace uh on 1000 you know, and it always it perks you up.
Speaker 2:It's almost like an energy drink yeah, it is because you never know who's gonna cuss or what they're going to say.
Speaker 1:It sounds like so have I ever been you.
Speaker 2:No, I'm always professional at work.
Speaker 1:You ain't never cussed at work, no I don't cuss at work.
Speaker 2:No, I'm a professional.
Speaker 1:Okay, Now what.
Speaker 2:I may be thinking in my mind or what I may be listening to on my AirPods. That may be different.
Speaker 1:You should be listened to. Your ear pods just give you one or two souls that make your day start okay now I I do appreciate ratchet music um at work.
Speaker 2:I'm very very professional I'm quiet. Um, I provide detailed information, I provide policy all day, but on my way to work it gets real, okay. So one of my songs that I used to listen to Drum roll, here it goes. Was I think it's Used To by 2 Chainz with Manny Fresh.
Speaker 1:No. I love that song, so that gets you ready for work.
Speaker 2:I love it and I listen to. Of course I have to listen to some Luke, some Trick Daddy. I have to listen to now you know what, because you know you don't know. Now that can spit policy, like me who?
Speaker 1:can represent, like me, yeah, that that makes me feel good, and so when I come to work, I'm energetic, I am ready to go. That's your energy drink.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay Now.
Speaker 1:Okay, okay, you know now that you said that I got tons of stories here, but here go another story.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Never say the names and all but this brother know who he probably is, but he's probably not. He's probably not listening. So have you ever had that co-worker? I mean down to earth, everything's gucci, you know. I'm saying they know their job, and it's just one dilemma what they go around the whole office and however it is, but the biggest dilemma that they may have is they breath be stinking. Do you hear me? I'm talking about you can smell him Like your eyes water up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like when you had to turn your head and act like you coughing, and you can still smell it after they leave this brother breath was on stank. You hear me?
Speaker 2:Okay. I mean like Like did he have a bad tooth or was he hungry?
Speaker 1:I don't know, it's not. It wasn't an acid. Smell like were you hungry. It was like they're doing the chitlin smell.
Speaker 2:You know the acid smell. Yeah, and that acid smell like you ate like battery acid or something.
Speaker 1:No, this brother I mean good brother, you know what I'm saying. It's just his breath was on stink and then what made it so bad is like he would come in and talk to me and he'd be like way past the personal space, like where he'd be talking to people.
Speaker 2:Oh, he's close.
Speaker 1:Like you can feel the wind, you can feel it and smell it, you know, like I don't know if it was coming from a tooth, the throat area, like I don't know. You know what I'm saying, uh and the thing with him is, is that like people, like on the slide, like if I know he's coming, like if he was like a few chairs down for me, like I will wait till he approached me and I will go eat a mint? You know say, hey, man, you want one. You know like.
Speaker 2:And he would always say no, probably.
Speaker 1:Always say freaking no.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he doesn't want that.
Speaker 1:You need this mint, eat this mint. You know, I don't say what. I didn't want to make it seem like you know, I'm saying it's breath stinking. So I would say let me take a or gum, and offering him something. You don't think he caught the clue? Well, I caught the stink. So I mean, I caught the clue?
Speaker 2:I didn't catch the clue, but I caught that stink. Maybe you all should have had like a gift exchange and somebody should have gifted him a tongue scraper.
Speaker 1:No, I don't know like, but something of that magnitude, like he had something to see a doctor.
Speaker 2:It was, it was, and a dentist.
Speaker 1:It was something you know, something maybe it was something gastro yeah he needed something, but that was some shenanigans.
Speaker 2:And he went on for years like that, like his breath was like I know a few people like that that I've worked with and they are the nicest people.
Speaker 1:So it's not like you can say, hey, you know your breath is a lot bad you know, because you don't want to hurt their feelings yeah, and this be early in the morning it ain't like well, maybe he ate something, you know this is like he was fasting and praying well, if he he dead, then because that breath was like whoo. You know like I mean I've seen people he cover out and people put their head down Like oh, not now.
Speaker 2:You're like, hey, what's going on? Oh no, you can't say H words or no, you know, depends on what you're saying.
Speaker 1:Like we got to be syllables. You know you about the like encyclopedia, like the words you get spit on oh. And it'd be that it'd be that spit, that like.
Speaker 2:That white thick spit that white, yeah it don't actually come out.
Speaker 1:It's just kind of like foam a little bit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that'd be that, that's sure enough. Funk Like that P-funk.
Speaker 2:P-funk on a whole new level.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that'd be that P-funk. Yeah, but Aw, if someone at work is offering you gum and mints, constantly check your tongue, if it's white, if you have a little thrash or thrust Thrust Cot mouth.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Just go into the bathroom, but not with a person with brown loafers.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Go to another bathroom, use some mouthwash, get a tongue scraper. It's okay, we all have and gargle. Gargle yeah, take some flossers with you to work and a toothbrush and just make it happen.
Speaker 1:Make it rain on that tongue all the way to the back. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, it's okay, Because that's what that means. If everybody, if people keep offering you mints and candy and stuff like that your breath is probably you got the dragon. What's my man on House Party?
Speaker 2:Oh Bilal.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you got the Bilal breath Message Exactly. That's one thing that I can remember so clearly, Mr Breath man, Bilal.
Speaker 2:Bilal yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I know you got some more. I think I may have one more. You got one more.
Speaker 2:And this goes into. Let's talk about potlucks. Potlucks, potlucks have you noticed when there are potlucks that certain people aren't allowed to bring food items right.
Speaker 1:Yes, if it ain't packaged already, yeah it has to be be pre-packaged or canned.
Speaker 2:You have to use some kind of device to open it. We gotta see you do yes, because you're just not trusted. So just, the nails is dirty, yeah, just if you are constantly asked to bring sodas, napkins, paper plates serving utensils what does that? There may be reason for that.
Speaker 1:Just maybe.
Speaker 2:It could be that your coworkers don't trust you Just say it, Put it.
Speaker 1:they don't trust you because it doesn't look like you can cook and if you-.
Speaker 2:Or you may just look nasty, I'll just say it.
Speaker 1:Maybe there we go.
Speaker 2:That's what I was waiting for, if you dig in your nose at work and then type on your keyboard. We don't want you to bring nothing. Don't bring anything to the potluck.
Speaker 1:Oh, you got a lot of animals.
Speaker 2:Bless people that have animals. Pet hair. If you have pet hair on your clothes, don't bring anything to work. If you spit when you talk.
Speaker 1:We don't want you to bring nothing.
Speaker 2:Don't bring anything.
Speaker 1:We don't want you to bring nothing.
Speaker 2:And this is something that I need to say. Say this is something that I need to say. Say it If you have expired food products. We have a coworker that loves to bring sugar-free items, items that she's probably gotten from when you go get your car serviced, and they have snacks and you just grab a whole bunch of Fig Newton bars and they sit in your pocket for a few days and then, oh, we have a potluck. Let me bring these 10 Fig Newton bars, and they all expire. Last year.
Speaker 1:Save it.
Speaker 2:Save it. Don't do that. Don't bring anything expire to the potluck.
Speaker 1:That's right, so check the dates.
Speaker 2:Check the dates and you know if you I mean maybe you would eat them.
Speaker 1:Maybe you would eat the expired food, but don't bring it for your coworkers. Wait a minute. Here's another one. Wait a minute, baby, they eat it.
Speaker 2:But that don't mean we gotta, we gotta be subject to that you know, you go to the, to the grocery store, and they have donuts and and and pastries that are. They have the red sticker on there and they're 50 off, 75 off. The donuts may be a little stale, but you can use those to make bread pudding, you better not bring them. Don't bring those, don't try to peel the sticker off and act like we don't see the little pieces of red sticker still on the container.
Speaker 1:Leave those at home, make bread pudding at home with your family. Just bring napkins, we're going to know Okay, so we bite it. And if it ain't, you're right. If it ain't wrapped and I see it no.
Speaker 2:Yeah, don't bring anything expired. Last but not least, if you didn't contribute to the potluck, maybe you didn't know, or maybe you just got a little hungry and you see someone's lunch in the refrigerator. You better not take yourself in that refrigerator and start digging in there and eating other people's food, but they hungry. You nasty.
Speaker 1:Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. Some of us Don't do it.
Speaker 2:Don't you do it? Stay out of the refrigerator.
Speaker 1:Wait a minute. So it was in the fridge. I thought that was free for all.
Speaker 2:No, it's not community property People label their food and they put it in the refrigerator. Now, if there is a potluck and someone says Los, we know you never bring anything. But hey, there's some pinwheels in the refrigerator if you want some.
Speaker 1:You're welcome to get them, then that's okay. No, if them pinwheels in there and y'all know I like pinwheels, I'm eating.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Oh one more. Thing. I had a coworker. I don't. Say it she, I think. I don't know if she's been poisoned before, but every day she would bring a can of sweet peas, sweet peas sweet peas. Out the can, out the can. She would pop it open at her desk, drain the juice from the peas into the trash, put them on a paper plate and pop open. Open a can of tuna. Pop that on her plate in the office.
Speaker 2:So the office is smelling like canned peas and tuna, and she would eat this every day why did anybody eat that? Outside. Just go sit outside on a bench, enjoy the sunshine, eat that outside.
Speaker 1:We don't want to smell it maybe you could it in the microwave then.
Speaker 2:And if you microwave fish, don't? It's disgusting.
Speaker 1:There's tons. Listen, that's a whole other podcast in itself Stuff that you can and cannot put in the microwave.
Speaker 2:Please don't put stink stuff in the microwave.
Speaker 1:Don't do it, and it be stinking all day.
Speaker 2:All day you can smell it down the hallway and if you don't know how to pop popcorn and you catch it and you're setting the fire alarms off in the office and we have to run outside every day, just buy pre-popped popcorn. Don't do that. Don't do it Because that shows us that you're not used to using a microwave. You may not have one at home. Maybe you pop your popcorn in a pot.
Speaker 1:Exactly.
Speaker 2:On the stove, but don't do that in the office.
Speaker 1:Okay, no, we got all sufferers Burnt popcorn, burnt popcorn is like the worst it lingers. It does Right. It is the worst.
Speaker 2:So potlucks, microwave users, food eaters and canned food openers stop.
Speaker 1:And it's so easy. Just go to the store. Popcorn is already popped. These meals that you want to prepare at home because you think they're so good, they already made, you know, just save yourself the embarrassment. Exactly Because we don't want it. We talking privately and we ain't going to eat it. We don't want you to bring it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so if you bring things to the potluck and there's an abundance left over, they're not interested they're not just bring something packaged.
Speaker 1:It always works okay, that's all I had got it, you get it all right, got it. We put it out there. You heard it here first on the all you'll be so check yourself, check yourself before you're eating your uh tuna noodle casserole.
Speaker 2:Keep it at home exactly with those canned peas, keep it at home no one wants to be sick.
Speaker 1:You know, I got one more thing here. It came to my mind while we were talking here. So have you have? Have you ever had the co-workers I call like the overachievers? Okay, the overachievers slash snitches okay snitches, get stitches okay so I remember this one time. So it was like a group of people, like they kind of like trying to be overachievers, like about three, maybe three, about three or four of them and it's nothing wrong with that and I get it.
Speaker 1:But then you have the group of people like myself. We make it happen and all. However, we do overachieve, you know, but we ain't trying to outdo the whole office, okay I beg to differ, but go ahead okay, okay.
Speaker 1:So they, I know they be listening, like over, uh, the cubicle thing they be listening. They be like, um, I know they be listening. So one day I said, check this out. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say it kind of loud so they can hear that I'm gonna leave for the day. And I want y'all to say it kind of loud so they can hear that I'm going to leave for the day. And I want y'all to say you know, like you going to put in leave, I'm going to say no, I'm not putting in leave, I'm going to step away a little bit.
Speaker 1:However, y'all just hold it down. You know, and I know they was listening. I know good doggone. Well, they was listening. So I walked around that area and then I left out the door, however it is, and then, little do you know, I came the other way, like the back way, and I came back to my seat, however it is, and I could overhear them saying well, we did see Lowe's here a little while ago, but then he left and we don't see him anymore, and he didn't send me what I needed at all, however, so did you leave to go get a haircut?
Speaker 1:No, I went down the stairs, went around, came back up the way, but I heard it, and I heard it when they were saying it to somebody.
Speaker 2:So, okay, let's, let's. Let me ask a question. So are you that type of person that will leave work? To go get your hair cut or your car washed, or no doubt, no doubt. So do you notice, if women leave work, they have maybe their hair in a bun that morning right and then after lunch they got braids. They have brains. Do you say something to them or you just? Say nice hair, you just say nothing I don't say nothing.
Speaker 1:But I said to my mom I'm like, yeah, she didn't dip the body here.
Speaker 1:You know people are and it's cool business, but it's cool though, because it's like, long as you listen, the name of the game, as long as you get your stuff done, it really don't even matter. You're like that. You know what I'm saying. But back to my story. Let me tell you what. So I went over there and you know I cashed out on him. I said, before you go, running your mouth, I said you better. I said no, I said you better keep your name up my mouth. Okay, because you don't know what's going on on the other side of this. You know on this, this wall here, so you will overhear us and think that I left you sound like a hostile.
Speaker 1:I wasn't hostile.
Speaker 2:Keep your name out of their mouth. Who do you think you are?
Speaker 1:I had a Titan Update shot group.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I would have reported you. You can report me. I would have been a Karen that day.
Speaker 1:But you're trying to be, you're snitching and however it is, if you want to be an overachiever, go ahead and make it happen, Okay, but keep my name out your mouth. I ain't got nothing to do with how you feel and what y'all want to do, however it is, you know. But you know I had to. I had to had to cash out on them that time.
Speaker 2:Let me see I have. I've left work a few times to go maybe to an outlet mall.
Speaker 1:You stepped out, yeah.
Speaker 2:Did you?
Speaker 1:rub your heels before you leave I did the little side kick you know you jump and you kick to the side.
Speaker 2:I went and uh went to the outlet.
Speaker 1:Let's see what else I did oh, so you, okay, I will be quiet. You gonna go, you're gonna leave it? Uh, go to the outlet store, just be out in public yeah, I went, had a daiquiri oh okay, you put it in a different cup.
Speaker 2:Let me see. I went to some appointments. Let's see what else have I done. Went to the grocery store a few times and then came in the office and put my groceries in the refrigerator. Sure did.
Speaker 1:Oh wow, you took it to the next level. You took your groceries that you bought.
Speaker 2:My groceries yeah.
Speaker 1:And put them in the refrigerator. Now, wish somebody was a kid.
Speaker 2:No, if that, if that yeah, if that co-worker that likes to dig in the refrigerator and eat my groceries for the house. I'm gonna be mad but yeah, I've done some things like that and I've had some snitching um co-workers and it always they snitched on you they snitched on me they said is they told someone else? Someone, someone brought it to my attention.
Speaker 2:They said hey, you notice how rika comes in after me, but she leaves before me so they told me so me, I was trying to hem you up yeah, but it's okay, because what I, what I always have, is leave. That's the first thing and what I always do is make sure that my back is covered, so I went to my manager at the time and said, hey, I've noticed that.
Speaker 2:So-and-so is always gossiping in the office. I wasn't a big Karen, I was a little Karen, so call me little Karen, right? So I said? And they said oh, tell me more. What's going on? I said well, this particular person is telling others that I leave early. However, every time I leave early, you are getting my leave slips correct. And the manager said yeah, I said you may want to put a stop to that because it's becoming uncomfortable in the workplace and I find it offensive. And so she got in trouble for spreading rumors.
Speaker 2:Because just stay, I don't care, this is my thing. I don't care what you do at work, as long as it doesn't affect me directly exactly it doesn't affect my my check exactly.
Speaker 1:You can do whatever you want to do, whatever you want to do my business is mine by me.
Speaker 2:I don't care what you do, how long your lunch break is, who you talk to on the phone who you talk to at another cubicle, as long as it does not affect me personally exactly.
Speaker 1:I don't care what you do, keep my name out your mouth so that was your. That was your.
Speaker 2:Keep my name out your mouth moment yeah, but look karen, but the look karen version yeah, yeah, so you know.
Speaker 1:So it's out there, you know now. So if you you know you go to work and you do, just do what you do, okay, yeah, keep your mind and keep your lips off of people and what they're doing. You know what I'm saying, because that ain't your place, okay.
Speaker 2:But if you want to be in their business, reach out to us and let us know either what you're doing at work, what are your workplace shenanigans, or what workplace shenanigans you've seen that you want to tell. Now you don't have to say their name, name, but we do want to be all up in the business yeah, so we let us know.
