Yup...this is from a real email

[dangerousdon]

Okay...so this just happened the other day and I HAVE to share it with you. I am not including names for obvious reasons. A little back story. A co-worker of mine was eating in our break room and unintentionally as well as unknown to him, dropped a small bit of yogurt on the floor. Again, he didn't realize that he did this. Here is the email that was sent to our ENTIRE agency from one of the Admin staff:

Someone spilled a ton of yogurt in the hallway going to the kitchen. Looks pretty gross. If it's you, please clean it up before it becomes a safety hazard. Thanks!

This was my co-worker's response:

It was me.

I fully acknowledge my foul yogurty manners. I guess I am just "un-cultured."

I honestly didn't even know I spilled it. It's gone now.

So everyone may now walk with wanton abandon without fear of a yogurt induced mishap. Whew.

Thanks for letting me know. I can be oblivious sometimes.

I think this can pretty much sums up the passive-aggresive nature of how things are communicated in the office now days!

Sounds like something I would say but it would go over almost everybody's head

Mercy, that's some pettiness right there.

Imagine if the person that took the time to email the office instead grabbed a napkin and wiped it up.

That's actually the first thing I thought of! Great minds think alike Chad!

My thoughts as well! Office life sure is weird...

Passive Aggressive behavior is just the worst. I absolutely detest it. If you want me to do something just ask me to do it. In this case there is nothing to benefit from "outing" a person. If it is indeed a "safety hazard," then as the first person to recognize it, you are obligated to correct it if you able. If you are unable to correct it, it's your duty to report it. Anyway...I just found it funny!

as the first person to recognize it, you are obligated to correct it if you able.

And if you're not part of the solution...... you're part of the problem!

Is your lawyer Jackie Chiles?

To be fair, a ton of yogurt on a hallway floor is a safety hazard.

Or a party

Well. That depends. Is it Greek or Probiotic? Because everyone knows that the friction coefficient for Probiotic is far greater than Greek.

From what I understand...it was just a very small spot. Like the size of a nickel.

In that case, my existing spoon should be sufficient for the task at hand.

 

[Spider]

How do you fit a ton of yogurt into a spoon???
