Professional Behavior

[asava]

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.

I have to deal with an adderall user all the time.

Are they just ridic. productive and make you look lazy?

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

They are all pretty much crazy.

i could definitely see that being a problem. i've dealt with a number of crack addicts and etc... not exactly a fun time. calling constantly.

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.

[asava]

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.

My dad is a principal and has to deal with a group teachers who preach Glen Beck almost weekly.

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?  )

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 fracked up to me.

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.

hasn't there been like 3 threads on this?

my place of work avoids all those bathroom issues altogether by having three one-person bathrooms on each floor: mens, womens and uni-sex

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.

how about people that just let her rip while taking a crap.  I try and hold up a little when someone is in there with me to be polite.

this reminds me of a great prank. just leave the door unlocked. hilariousness ensues.

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.
