Thats pretty shitty, although women, something about them and coffee, they go full retard.

The women at work today were being annoying, all i said was " All women shall only speak when spoken to from now on."

I'm glad they get my sense of humour.

The fact they don't want me to drink their coffee is fine, regardless of the minuscule amount I actually drink.

What bothers me is that they were all too piss-cowardly to approach me and simply ask "Rii, if you want to drink the coffee, would you mind contributing?"

Instead they whined to the boss and asked her to talk to me. Apparently I'm not allowed to touch anything in the kitchen that hasn't been purchased by work (things like salt, bread, milk, coffee and the hundreds of jars of various spreads, seasonings etc).

Kinda sucks because if they complained about something so simple and easily resolved they no doubt bitch about a thousand other irrelevant BS.

Goodbye workplace camaraderie.

Wimminz in the office. So many places, so many powertrips/games. So glad mine has cool chicks.

Just be glad Rii, if you'd asked she probably would have felt sociatal pressure to say yes, then gone home and harped on for about 2 hours or more about this self absorbed selfish arsehole at work who uses all her coffee and doesn't contribute but she has to say yes or else she'll seem like a bitch and if only this person would wake up and get their own coffee, but they don't because they're such a leach on society and office politics and "omg you wouldn't believe what that bitch mary said to me today when we went out for lunch and I offered to get her some and she said no thanks but I thought it was kinda snarky even though she used polite words and I stressed the fuck out about it all afternoon and I do all the work there these other people just steal my sunshine I'm so seriously underappreciated and I should get a payrise but the boss is incompetent but at least she finally dealed with the coffee thief but only after I had to remind her to do it after it happened at least 50 times."

Even though you only had some once or twice.


TL;DR, bitches take themselves way too seriously.

Passive Aggressiveness and Office Politics


And women that complain I get paid more than them - I ask when they last asked the boss for a pay rise - they say that the boss should notice that they are working hard and give them a raise....

Gotta love it.

lol, I've had a few female bosses, one in particular was a pain in the ass, seemed to think she had to be a dragon to get anything done.

Another, my last female boss was great, would happily work for her again.

It's just how you come across as a person?

Buy an espresso machine, plonk it in the office and then put a post-it note on it: "Private, do not touch".
Have clearly more beans than you will drink before they go stale stocked in it.



That or the same post-it note thing only with your crotch instead of an espresso machine.

I use to hide in my department in retail and place internal calls to the copy center to keep the fat bitch in there on her feet.

Right when ass is about to hit chair the phone would ring, right when hand was about to pick up phone, ring would stop.

This could go on for quite a few iterations, she loved to hear from management about what a great job she was doing pressing the copy button all day so wouldn't consider not answering just in case it's management.

Every time she lost 3kg she'd bring in like a tonne of food for everybody
