A couple of jobs ago, I had just come back from some time off. I was sitting in my cube working when a co-worker I had never met came into my cube, reached past me, and grabbed a tissue from my tissue box without asking. If you think that's bad, it's nothing compared to what he said: "Thanks, I've been stealing these!"
I wish I were kidding.
I've had co-workers steal my and my desk-mates' gum before, too, at the same job.
- Pinckney 9y agoHuh, it never would have occurred to me to see that as inappropriate. If my coworkers are sick, I want them using tissues rather than spreading their germs around. Tissues cost what, $0.01 each anyway?
- jessaustin 9y agoI don't want sick people in my cube. If they came in while sick last week, they've certainly had time to buy their own tissues.
- nathanaldensr 9y agoIt's inappropriate because they are my personal property. The company did not provide tissues to employees. They were partially behind my monitor, so that person went out of their way to find them and use them. Combined with their arrogant taking of them with me present, yes, I'd say I had every right to be cross.
