Ever get in a fight over a trash can?

Yup, takes talent! I moved a trash can from my area into another area at work and a woman got mad at me and sort of accosted me! She kept saying, "You got a problem with me throwing trash into a trash can..huh, huh?" What a bully. I'm sick of this crap. Why can't people just chill? It was a trash can. A trash can! God.

It went on for weeks.

We got over it. Never had an actual fight...just the silent war.

... who was going to take out the trash. After a couple of weeks the pile of trash grew to be taller than the refrigerator.

I eventually broke down because I had some tail coming over. :headbang:

trash! :eyes:

My scotch tape went missing so I borrowed her scotch tape. (Oh and for the record she's an evil old bitch that thinks everyone should bend to her will because she's old...ok, vent done) Anyway, I apparently didn't return it fast enough, and she searched me down, grabbed her tape back, yelled at me for a bit about returning other people's stuff (I was still using it!) and vowed to never lend me scotch tape again. So the next day, with the full backing of every coworker and the owner, I set about by collecting every single roll of tape of any kind into a box...scotch tape, masking tape, duct tape, correction tape, electrical tape, medical tape... It was amazing. So when she came into work, she went into an outrage about her scotch tape being missing. We let her run with it for awhile then I went over to her counter with my 50 rolls of asst. tape and just dumped them on her counter and walked away. Lots of yelling about "disrespectful kids" took place but then I had a week of silent bliss.

If only...*sigh*

We don't have a lot of choices like that where I work. I basically said nothing. Really, it is not in my nature to "turn the other cheek." I'm thinking I should go get a drink about now...I've been home for over an hour and I'm still fuming mad!

I once asked her for a "writing implement" and she handed me a boxcutter. Not absent-mindedly. She didn't know what implement meant and it threw her off.
