  • Like a lot of you working people out there, you work in a department
    among departments of your company. For the most part you don't always
    work with people from other departments, but you encounter them
    probably more often than you expect. Well, one pet peeve of mine is
    when people from another department thinks they are better than the people of another
    department, and it just infuriates me when that happens to me and *my*
    people. Recently somebody from another department had the nerve to tell
    me how to do my job, as if I was some kind of servant. I responded
    dryly suggesting that person doesn't know what they are talking about.
    Then the person continues on criticizing and judging me, as if they
    literally wanted me to get me pissed off. Well, I told that person off,
    practically scolding the attitude thrown at me. You know what their
    response was? "oohh don't be angry, I'm just joking with you." I was
    incredulous at the way I was being treated. A joke? Only an idiot will
    pull a "joke" like that. Obviously the person wanted to just save face
    from being pointed out at how wrong they were in the first place. The
    nerve of some people.
