Hypothetically, if you saw someone standing on a ladder, with their head up in the ceiling tiles, and there were about 200 other people working in their cubicles all around, would you ask that person on the ladder to help you make copies?
This actually happened to me today and made me wonder… just what the Bejeebies could this person have been thinking?
There I was, up on a ladder, running plenum grade monitor cable about 65 feet into a wiring closet to hook up a wall mounted display and this woman actually asked me if I was BUSY and could I help her use the copy machine?!?! Why not ask one of the 200 other people or better yet, her BOSS whose job it is to make sure her people know how to use the office tools, and who was sitting not 20 feet from where I was up on the ladder?
I don’t know why I’m perpetually amazed at the lack of common sense in people I work with… I really should know better by now.
Just for giggles, what’s the stupidest thing that’s ever happened or been said to you at work?
