Unprofessional

[(Anonymous)]

What is the most unprofessional thing you have seen happen at a business. Any kind welcome (doctor's office, store, etc).

Re: Unprofessional

[(Anonymous)]

This is as a fellow coworker, so I'm not sure it's what you're asking, but.

I work at a doctor's office, and several years ago, I had two coworkers who were constantly flirting and groping each other and going into graphic detail about their sex lives. It was super unprofessional and made me super uncomfortable, especially when they tried to bully me into details about my sex life.

Anyway, the girl really wanted to have a baby, and would make jokes about our male coworker impregnating her. One time, she was talking about it, and yelled out "Come do me now!" I guess it's good she didn't say anything more graphic than "do me" but there was a patient in the waiting room at the time, who was offended and found a new doctor after that.

Neither of them work at my office anymore, thank god.

A few weeks ago I went to the bookshop looking for a new comics and some info about another one. The vendor was chatting with another customer, not about book-related info, but about her own life, and how she had asked to be moved from another aisle to this one because she wanted something new. Whatever, maybe the customer was a friend of hers from their personal life, too. But I had time to leaf trough a whole 48-page album and they weren't ever near finished with their private conversation, so I just left, damnit, I would get my info from the internet.
I went back last week because I heard a comics I very much anticipated would be out by then... but nothing. So I got to the vendor--same one as before--to ask about it; she just shrug and started to answer that no, they didn't have it yet... and stopped mid-sentence to call out to another vendor that was passing by. But not to relay the question: she excitedly started chatting about the love/sex life of some of their coworkers. The second vendor did tell me that indeed, the issue had been delayed for a month or too. Neither offered to look up in the database for the new release date and signified that the case was closed, thank you very much for (not) shopping here, have a good evening, goodbye.
Well, fuck. Why did you asked to be moved to this aisle if you don't care at all for your job here??? Guess from now on I'm ordering my comics from Amazon.

I work in academia, and I've seen senior faculty members stand up in meetings and yell about how they don't want to follow the new curriculum guidelines. Also once heard a historian insist that the *only* event from the 20th century that anyone will remember years from now is the space race. The only one. Nobody will remember WWII, at all.

Re: Unprofessional

What. Did they say why they think nobody will remember the World Wars...? Because we've done a plenty good job remembering things like the Crusades and such.

One time I took lessons at a music school, and my instructor would constantly complain about their work situation to me, about the management and such. I'd be like, "dude, I only have so many precious minutes here, could you not do that on MY time? Also, way to be tacky, your work problems are none of my business."

Re: Unprofessional

I used to work with a raging alcoholic who would get into screaming fights with the people who had offices near her and once had to have the police called on her and taken away in handcuffs because she was lying on the floor throwing a tantrum and wouldn't get up. This wasn't even the first time she had done this. She was also once allowed to use her vacation time to cover the couple weeks she was in jail after a DUI.

She got to keep her job, too! Because everyone who actually saw this happen was too chickenshit to write her up! (I worked on a different floor.) She retired with benefits last year.

I also currently work with someone who just doesn't come to work on some days. She's been called into HR twice and read the riot act, but her cover is that her shitty supervisor allowed her to take days off without notice in the past (and get paid!), so the precedent has been set, oh ho!

(Comedy reveal: we're unionized. I can't move my desk from one corner of my office to another without getting into deep shit for doing someone else's job, but apparently you can get taken away in handcuffs and not even show up for work on three days a week for months, and your job is secure!!)

Holy shit. That's ridiculous. I'd be pissed.

Sorry you have to put up with that shit.

(On a lighter note, your illustration at the end made me smile :D.)

Re: Unprofessional

[fishnchips]

I was shopping with a friend and we went to a small store because she had seen a teacup in the window she wanted to buy for her mother's birthday. The lady who worked there was not entirely thrilled to have to work at all and the, oh joy, it turned out that the only cup left was the one displayed I the window. So she made quite a fuss, loudly complaining how she had to get a stepladder now and UGH.
We didn't go back to that store and it went out of business a while after that incident (not a surprise).

Oh my god, the most unprofessional thing definitely happened at my doctor's office, when the doctor in question just happened to be swigging down alcohol RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE PATIENTS. He used to be amazing but by that point he was starting to crack and delve into a nervous breakdown. I found a new doctor (and much more affordable doctor) not long after that.

I used to be an assistant librarian. A patron wanted me to show her how to use her GPS. I was already gone for the day when she came into the library. She asked my boss for my home address and my boss gave it to her. The patron showed up at my house. It was after dinner and my Mom answered the door. I had already gotten dressed for bed because I had to get up early the next day. Mom told her I was not at home and the woman left after a while. I called my boss and she admitted to telling the patron where I lived and said she knew she shouldn't have given it to her, but the patron kept asking.
