Re: The gripe thread

[(Anonymous)]

I have a co-worker who routinely drinks two or three of those energy drinks (like Monster) every morning and then eats garbage for lunch (the other day she ate half a family-sized bag of corn chips and a tin of bean dip), and then complains how her stomach hurts, she's crashing and feels like shit, she's sick and wants to go home. Well DUH. I never say a word because it's not my place to comment, she's an adult and can do whatever she wants, and she's never asked for my input on her diet or my opinion on what could possibly be making her feel like that on a regular basis. But I'm tired of listening to her bitch about it. She's like that damn "well if it isn't the consequences of my own actions" meme come to life.

Re: The gripe thread

Try talking to your boss about it- if she's going home early, and not doing her job because she wants to complain instead, then bring your concerns up with the boss.
Otherwise, ask for a different placement, if it's available. If there's an area in your workplace away from them, where you feel like you can work better from there- just ask. You don't need to say anything about the person in general, but might get moved if you say there are too many distractions where you work right now.
Aside from that, is she talking to you specifically, or including you at all in her concerns? If she is, then try and befriend her, mention it subtly, make it as a joke that their diet might not be helping their situation. Keep it light? Or just tell her you need to focus on what you're doing at the moment, you're sorry, but you need to deal with your occupation at the moment.
Be honest?

Management rarely lets her leave. She vents about it to me and I just say things like hmm maybe try drinking more water, but then she goes and gets a big coffee. Sigh. I work with her two or three days a week so it's not an everyday occurrence, but when she starts on it she doesn't stfu. :/

Ahh- that would be annoying;;

...;; Ehh- I don't recommend it;; But I remember working with someone kinda like that once before. I got so fed up (and couldn't convince myself to be rude;;) so I just started being overly nice instead. And I guess it came across as a little bit /forcible/, or /intense/, since I like really didn't like them. I'm not exactly sure what it was, but they pretty much left me alone after that!;;

Hopefully things turn out better for you;;! (even if even I don't recommend my advice;;)

Ugh, that sucks.

I have very little filter when someone starts complaining to me about self-caused problems. I don't think I could bite my tongue enough to keep from saying "maybe if you didn't eat shit you wouldn't feel like shit" at some point. Thankfully I don't have a job where I'm expected to be nice to random coworkers, and I've developed a reputation for being a ruthless hard-ass so it wouldn't seem out of line for me to be a big meanie.
