[Closed] passive aggressive work emails

Or claire could get her own ****ing cup.

I'd drop the mug when cleaning moving stuff around on the draining board.

the other alternative is to forward this email all over the world so it becomes an internet sensation, the original sender is vilified and your missus loses her job for brigning the company into disrepute.

i'd reply saying 'my mug, had it for years, if you've lost yours i suggest you take the opportunity to buy one that doesnt draw attention to your weight problem'

She sounds fat.

'Humorous' cups normally indicate a completely socially inadequate fruit-loop anyway.

Does she have a poster on her desk saying "You don't have to be mad to work here but it helps"

How is this passive aggressive?

She should just throw the mug off her head, Big Lebowski style.

How is this passive aggressive?

Maybe not the right term, but certainly not indicative of a healthy mind or attitude.

Maybe not the right term, but certainly not indicative of a healthy mind or attitude.

But complaining about it on an internet forum does?

Gary has the answer

I don't work there, and I'm not complaining; I'm pointing and laughing, whilst simultaneously being exasperated.

...and who said I aspired to a healthy mind?

Not sure the OP was complaining. More like having a laugh about it. Wtf's wrong with you? Not done enough burpees today or something?

Repply thus:

I have noticed that you are using my OXYGEN, which is CLEAR AND ODOURLESS. Please can you STOP STEALING MY OXYGEN.

I think you're missing the point which is a little deeper than the OP first suggests, and that is whether cookies, and this includes one in each hand, can be included in the iDave [s]diet[/s] lifestyle as part of a balanced [s]lifestyle[/s] diet, no?

lol... as it happens I had to work through lunch, no circuit training for me this lunchtime 🙁

a cup is a cup is a cup ... now assuming your not the guy at the end of my office who doesnt EVER wash his cup and it has the biggest coffee ring stains ever then whats the issue ....

claire uses another cup .... fatty gets her cup back all is good

but **** me how socially retarded is she if she cant speak to your missus about it she has to use an email ... yeah **** it id drop it too ...

*im bored waiting on city link 🙁

PeterPoddy wins... I've sent that back to her to reply with 🙂

Can we have the cup owners e-mail address, PLEASE?! I feel some pre-bill run fun brewing.

luckily I don't have her address, or I would probably have accidentally done a 'reply-to-all' job ending abuse email by now.

send her back a link to "2 girls and cup" and hide the mug for a few days and then put it back with some mud in it 😀 (I've not actually seen the aforementioned video but I gather that is what it is about).

What a complete fruitcake... why not just speak?

I agree, why can't your wife wait until she gets home to tell you instead of abusing work emails.

The signs printed in 40point Arial from Word are always funnier.

In my local Royal Mail collection centre, there are [i]four[/i], I shit you not, [i][b]four[/b][/i] signs warning people that anybody who abuses members of staff may face prosecution. This is all on a window that measures 1m by 2m. You get the feeling that if your staff are receiving [i]that[/i] much abuse, there might be something wrong. 🙂

The signs printed in 40point Arial from Word are always funnier.

Arial? Bah. Everyone knows that HR signs are only official if printed in Comic Sans.

[i]...some mud in it (I've not actually seen the aforementioned video but I gather that is what it is about[/i]

It's not about mountain biking, I don't think.

2 girls and one cup?

Hows about we all post a sample email from today?

Here's mine! From just 5 minutes ago:

[i]Ok thanks, let me know when you can fit it in, please?[/i]

🙂

Comic Sans? I thought all work posters had to be done in that Word 3D effect, with a hideous bright red linear gradiant running through it

2 girls and one cup?

DO NOT GOOGLE IT!

especially not at work.

Here's mine from around an hour ago...

[i]I know, he's been following me around for a couple of days like a lost puppy, bless 'im.[/i]

🙂

how many people here have had someone use their work mug - not many I think as I can't see much empathy with the fatty...

Why is Claire using a cup that is not hers?

Here's mine:

[i]So we can circulate again.[/i]

Here's mine

[i]I've ordered online some pre/post natal soothing bath herbs. Should I also get some flowers?[/i]

That's from a colleague binners? 😯

That's from a colleague binners?

It's got to be his missus hasn't it? Or hora.

heres mine from this morning and seems to be becoming a standard response 🙁
[i]I will have to defer this query to my colleague [/i]

Here's mine......

Our pianist is definitely available but we may not have our usual conductor.

And no Binners isn't from me I'm also wondering who on earth it is..... 😯

Gotta be hora then.

Here's mine...

leave me alone

Actually the one I've just got is better...

After these two hours you will never want to hear Brenda Lee singing “Rocking around the Christmas Tree” ever again.

That's an intriguing sentence alright.

I counter it with:

They never really made the point to us about the importance of the outside person.

and

Please destroy previous email. Sorry about that.

Both received within the last 10 minutes.

Kidnap the mug and send the owner pictures of it from various locations. This weas done years ago at my brothers office and people were taking it on holidays etc and sending back pictures of it with ransom notes etc. Nowadays photoshop could be used instead.

Here's Mine

Claire knows the cup belongs to someone else but goes a head and uses it anyway, so of the two parties involved it is clear the she is the one lacking in social graces. I'm not surprised 'fatty' broaches the subject with an email. It seems that Claire can be quite insensitive and it is much easier to deal with such people by email than face-to-face. Not that it is a lot of hassle, but it definitely sits in the 'shit i don't need' pile. Claire might want to ask herself how come she sends out the signals that she is unapproachable about such a trivial thing.

twas neither the missus or Hora. Its regarding a leaving present for another colleague going off on maternity this week 😀

Women in offices. Not always nice.

So why didn't the Claire go up to the mug-owner and say "sorry about that - please feel free to just to tell me if I do something that upsets you" ?

This is how petty office squabbles start.

Mine:

[i]But part of our work is to find better and better translators and I have a really great one for this! He is an engineer and is Brazilian, his work is faultless, so this will be an improvement.
Besides, he will be shown the previous work we produced, the glossary etc.
I would never change translators without need, but, if I remember, the last time your office in San Paolo were not actually that happy with our work, that said it was not Brazilian enough. This is why I thought it would be good to change. Do not worry, we know what we are doing.[/i]

Women in offices. Baaaaaaaaaad shid.

I don't get email in my new job 🙂
*does the happy dance*

MaxGentleman Enlargement Pills have been featured across major media outlets around the world, including ESP and Fox News, with dozens of positive reviews.

This sort of thing is why womens shouldn't be allowed in a place of work. Can you imagine the cost to the economy?
