Title: Professional Behavior
Post by: asava on September 14, 2010, 10:01:56 AM
Question for all you professionals.

What strange behavior do you see in your professional social circles. Doesn't necessarily have to be strange. For example I had no idea how common adderall use was in the Law world. Not judging, just wasn't aware.

In jobs where not being mentally lazy is important adderall is pretty common.

No, it's a client, dude won't STFU, and in his case the drug is only making his ADHD issues worse.

Doctors use this stuff as well. Keeps them awake and alert when they need to be. At least that statement comes from me observing one of my good buddies in the field.

it seems like this should be a requirement for doctors.

so, back to the original topic. any other weird social behaviors people have encountered due to their professional lives.

There's a lot of Arabs at my office. They talk on their cell phones in the bathroom. While taking a dump. That seems really mumped up to me.

Also, there's Japanese lady who eats cherry tomatoes on her popcorn. (Maybe that's common?  :dunno:)

I do this all the time. It's a real time-saver.

I've never heard of this, but it sounds amazing.

Related question: Farting at urinals. Is there just a general green light to let loose in this scenario, or is some decorum advised for office bathroom situations.

Similar question: talking through stall doors. We have one manager who does this from both sides of the door (no surprise; he's from Nebraska). He's also former military. Maybe that's normal for them? I am 100% NOT COOL with it.

you seem to use the bathroom quite a bit at work. my advice would be to cut back some in this area or get your own private bathroom.

if ripping ass in the bathroom keeps you from doing it in your office then it is completely acceptable. conversations should never be had between stalls. also, if there are 3 urinals open one should never be that guy that uses the middle urinal. take a side one, nobody should be forced to have your piss particles splatter on their shoes. also, for the love of god please stand close enough to the urinal that i don't see your dong when i walk into the bathroom.  it's not a 3 point shooting contest people.

But then you have to deal with locked doors and people shouting "Someone's in here!", no?

a bit of light pressure on the door handle tells you all you need to know.  LOL at anyone who shouts "Someone's in here!" through a locked door.

Yeah. Nothing worse than settling in for a leisurely dump and having a guy plop down in the next stall and just start dropping bombs. Totally ruins it for me.

How about this.   Every work with someone (married hetrosexual male) and you figured given their relative good looks, relatively decent amount of money they make (in both cases I am thinking of, $150-$250K a year), general sense of style, and good personality . . . that they were likely at worst married to the cute and perky little former cheerleader captain and sorority president, and at best married to a smoking hot babe. 

Only to find out (in both cases) that they were married to an absolute troll.  Women so ugly even the nicest ladies in the office were like, "Damnnnn"??

It's really not that uncommon for guys who were dorks in high school to go onto college, get a good job, and get better looking with age. These people never got laid in high school, and marry the first woman willing to have sex with them.

I always get a huge laugh out of old guys who go to a urinal and rip off a loud rattler, as if once they relax any muscle in their midsection, everything in their body turns loose.

I used to think this was gross and inappropriate, but in my old age I've grown to enjoy the hell out of it.  Like when people make a face when someone does this and you’re all “Hey bud, we ARE in the bathroom ya know.”

i don't understand the disgust from people if you fart in a public bathroom.  less disgusting than shitting, which is one of the three possible reasons i'm in the bathroom anyway.
