Department down the hall from me is nearly all women. That was a loud cheer just now. Woke me up from my nap.

These loud birds apparently don't have anything better to do than fly around our neighborhood all night yelling at each other.
In reply to BlueInGreen44:
Just a thought....
Why do people on the internet feel the need to demean someone who asks for advice? I have an odd situation with an air conditioning compressor. I diagnose and "fix" (perhaps temporarily) said problem, and against my better judgement, ask on a technicians network whether my solution makes sense, and whether anyone has encountered said situation before.
I am then tied to a makeshift wooden pillory and beaten to within an inch of my life for my business practices, my diagnostic abilities, and my bad breath, all by people who have quite obviously not read the original post.
berkeley you, you know-it-all bastards.
I don't know, but it's true. I was in a Miata group and a young woman asked an ignorant question - ignorant in its real meaning, as in "uneducated in and unfamiliar with the topic". A couple people gave her thoughtful answers but the majority of idiots just dogpiled on the poor woman. And then, I'm sure, went on to complain how their next meet was 99% male and how hard it is to find a girl that's interested in cars.
Some ungodly stench is haunting my cubicle today and I don't know what it is. I even thought it could be me but I don't smell it on myself, it just wafts into my nose once in a while. Smells like the "stinkin' toe" tree we have around here which drops intensely stinky seed pods...which smells like concentrated old BO. Can only smell it when I sit at my cubicle.
Spitting is disgusting M-Kay...no, you don’t look like a Major League Pitcher, you just look like a regular person that chews tobacco (which is right up there with Civil War reenactors in terms of chick magnetness) or somebody that can’t understand how Kleenex stays in business when everybody has a perfectly good sleeve.
Just stop it alright.
Third ER visit for kid #4. She has more than the rest of the family combined now.

Sorry. I didn't realize it offended you so much.

That sounds like a Gingko tree.
Maybe some practical joker hid something in you area.

I had a coworker who would hide shrimp salads behind my desk. That bomb had a one week fuse before it went off and when it did, Woah!

I would rather watch somebody take a great big gooey dump on the sidewalk than watch a tobacco chewer. It is, hands down, the most disgusting habit on the entire planet.

It usually doesn’t too much and thank you for being understanding.
What set me off was that a guy spat between my car and his in a public parking lot forcing me to contort myself to get around it.
Admittedly, I felt a little threatened like he had instigated the modern day equivalent of shooting the ground in front of me to draw a do-not-cross line.
I don’t know, I felt like to maintain my honor I needed to pee on him or something.
Name of the game with a project I've been working on is hurry up and wait. Hurry up to make modifications suggested by my manager, then wait for him to review again.
And the suggestions frankly are non-consequential. There hasn't been anything new added to it in a week.
As someone who chews tobacco ive found this page funny. Unlike alot of people i can admit its a disgusting habbit but im addicted.
My favorite is smokers who complain about people who chew. My habit isnt killing or harming anyone but me unless i spit in your mouth so berkeley off with that.
Very minor rant, rock auto is a day late with a radiator i need to toss in for a lady.

One of these in fact:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hymenaea_courbaril (Edit: Holy hell, people eat that E36 M3!? 
)
This place is too sparse to hide things. Haven't noticed the smell since after lunch. Could be that a coworker tracked some of those seeds in by accident.

I hope everything is OK!

Yeah, I'm not sure I can agree with you on that scenario.
If they have a spit cup/bottle, I really don't care. If they're spitting on the ground, or ice, I do care.
I got some kind of creeping death that's slowly gotten worse as the work day goes on.
And I rode my motorcycle in today. Riding home feeling like E36 M3 is not gonna be much fun.
I got rear-ended in the Sonic. Again.
Neither hit was enough to total it, so I have to keep driving the Sonic. :(

Ok, no. A pop bottle half full of spit and chaw is also the most disgusting thing on the planet, and I once broke a 40 year old jar of lard when I was cleaning up an old house.

I'm guessing you haven't seen it very often. By the third or fourth time the novelty wears off.
When your days off are as long and frustrating as your days at work it gets hard to find the ambition to get up in the morning.
On a trip with family, and in three days, there's been three spills, two in the rental car. Its not that hard to keep from making a mess.
