While it's aimed at Silicon Valley culture, I see some of this pretty much everywhere I go, and I'm not afraid to call someone out on it. Quote of the day: "It's kind of like if I went over to your desk, grabbed you by your greasy hair, yanked your neckbeard to my backside, and farted straight in your face while yelling, "I had Kung Pao chicken for lunch! HAHAHAAH!". Yes, that's what putting your feet up on shit is like to other people."
Putting your feet up on your own shit in your own home to get comfortable? Sure. Or maybe even on your own desk at the office. In a meeting, a professional setting and/or around people who aren't good friends? Please. I would personally walk out.
- mscarborough 17y agoChoose one, either 'call someone out on it', or 'walk out'. Or, do like Zed and write a big passive-aggressive blog post about something that clearly bothers you, but that you won't deal with in person. Nowhere in the article did he describe a reaction from any of these 'passive-aggresive dominants', after they were 'called out' on their offensive behavior. Neither in Zed's article or this thread, has anyone done so much as mentioned their problem with the offending party. Sheesh, people. I'm not throwing my feet up on the table, but if those who do bother you so much, then let them know when it happens right in front of you, instead of waiting and venting on the Internet.
- ax0n 17y agoI'm with you all the way. Also, I could (and likely would) call them out by telling them why I'm leaving. I see it from both sides. In general, I feel most comfortable on my laptop with my feet elevated and my ear-cans on. I can go for hours upon hours at a time without taking a break, in the zone. Desk life just never seems to work quite that well for me.
