The things you do at the office..........

[Lakitu]

This morning sitting in my (open plan) office, it's very quiet (naturally, everyone getting over the shock of it being Monday morning AGAIN), and I hear a "click click click". I pop my head up, have a quick scan to see what on earth that noise is.

I mouth to Malcolm, who sits opposite opposite me "What the heck is that noise?", he whispers he was wondering the same. So now we're both scanning the office and see a guy hunched over doing something.

Malcolm whispers that he'll go to the print area and see what the guy is up to as he passes. He comes back, sits down with a smirk on his face. I just know what he's going to tell me......yep, the man was cutting his nails!!

Now, is it just me or is that just not cricket?? :o/

[scotgal]

Methinks there's a time and place Lakitu and the office is not it-how revolting!

[B00]

Im equally shocked that you work with someone called Malcolm, what sort of name is that for heavens sake??

[Lakitu]

I found it revolting too!

PMSL Boo!! He's a young guy too (married, but I'm pretty sure a little bit gay)

20 years ago when i used to get the 7.30 bus to work at new bridge there was a woman on the bus who cut her nails every Monday morning into a hanky.
Fek knows what she did with the clippings.
This was followed by nail filing and then varnish application and finally lipstick.

Seemed weird to me at the time .

[scotgal]

Can you be a little bit gay - that's a bit like saying you could be a little bit pregnant innit?

[Lakitu]

That is weird, Legend!!

I'll bet the hankie was put into her handbag and she had clippings at the bottom of her bag for ages! Lippy is OK though.

[whiffy]

I've got an absolute obsession about anti-social behaviour in the workplace. I cut my fingernails (and toenails) at work but I go out into the stairwell to do it, it is more private and echoes better. Much worse is EATING. Crisps, Apples, Carrots, Celery.

If you want to eat, leave the office, because we don't want to watch the revolting sight and listen to the disgusting sound of you stuffing your face all day.

[weeal]

his TOE nails???? urrrggghhhh you dont do stuff like that at work pmsl

still at least it wasnt a bomb

[Lakitu]

LOL, I asked myself the same question after I submitted. He's a lovely guy, but very feminine with some of his words and most of his movements, there's even a hip wiggle as he walks. I think there will be a heartbroken wife in the future......

[B00]

I used to slap my entire makeup on whilst on the bus going into work- it meant that I had an extra 10 minutes in bed each morning.

[Lakitu]

Toe nails?? Weeal.....just his fingernails! LOL

Whiffey, I hate noisy food in the office too, and lunch that stinks (fish usually!).

At least you have the courtesy to go out to the stairwell :o)

[legend_mark5]

I remember going out the back of the bar where i worked about 18 months ago.
the guy whjo owned the indian takeaway was sitting at the back exit to the indian with his sandals offf cutting his toenails .
Kinda put me offf a tikka masala.
Its shut now , dunno if they nailed him for hygiene isshoes or not




lol

[scotgal]

Yes it usually - I had a good friend (bent as a nine bob note) but he married and had family but it all got too much in the end (pardon the pun) ooooh I'm naughty tonight!

[Lakitu]

My make up bag comes with me and I slap it on in the toilets (at least I'm getting paid to do it :o))

[Lakitu]

LOL Legend!

Scotgal, he wears a shirt and a tank top, which makes me further sure of it LOL

[legend_mark5]

For god sake he sounds like ronnie corbett in that programme sorry.
But

He wasnt gay though.


D T H ?�?

[Lakitu]

Ronnie Corbett is an old mannie though, he can get away with tank tops!

Anyhoo! This isn't about poor Malcolm (shurrup Boo), it's about cutting your nails in the office just not being cricket! LOL

[scotgal]

Years ago when I was commuting daily to Aberdeen I used to often end up behind this young lass that I kind of knew and very often she used to spend the journey putting her makeup on (yes while driving!!!) and one day as I drew up beside her at a roundabout she was painting her nails!!!!!!!!!!

[legend_mark5]

I thought you were in scotland?
Whats a kload of englishguys rubbing their bails and hitting some balls go to do with a gay toenail clipping office guy ?

Im confused now : 0)

[Lakitu]

LOL, a girl after my own heart ;o)
