I've blogged in the past at how coworkers do things that agitate the shit out of me when it comes to "common" things: going #2 then leaving the bathroom door completely sealed off afterward, using their hands in a bowl full of snacks, etc.
This one kind of takes the cake...er, muffin, as it were.
A coworker provides a rotation of breakfast-type items every Monday; this week, it was muffins --the big ones you can find in the Sam's Club bakery. Usually on "Muffin Monday's", the diet conscious folks will usually split a muffin into fourths.
I just witnessed..."witnessed"...a coworker take the last fourth of a muffin and leave the wrapper and the plastic knife used to cut said muffin in the box. She stood right over the box, took the muffin, ATE IT, STOOD THERE WHILE CHEWING and walked off.
What the fuck is wrong with you? You passed a damn trash can on your way OUT of the room!! how difficult would it have been for you to take the wrapper with you and toss it...wait a sec, you passed TWO, count em, TWO trashcans. What the fuck is wrong with you!
Sorry dear readers, but I had to get that off of my chest. Yea, I could get it off my chest with said coworker, but come on, we're talking about grown-ass people here. This woman is probably close to twice my age, that's not a conversation I should be having with someone that age, hell, it isn't a conversation I should be having with someone HALF my age.
Whew, that felt good.

I've been feeling very apathetic lately. Not towards my friends or family or karate...or working out/training. But to that *other* pain-in-my-ass aspect of my life. "Ya'll know what it is...", no need to call it out any more than that. It got even worse Monday morning, and worse still Monday evening. When asked how I felt about it, I shrugged. I guess someone poured a healthy dose of "Apathy Concentrate" into my body wash, so I shower with it everyday.
And for the record, I do not consider karate, training, my family or friends pains in my ass.
