It speaks to character

I over heard people say that don't hold the elevator button down when someone is running for it on purpose or that they fake pushing it or worse lie and hit the close button making it look like it's not working. Sad when they don't think there is anything wrong with that.

Sad again that when someone walks away another actually said they would look at their screen to see what they are doing. This is of course when they forget to lock their computer...note to self never forget to do that in my office.

Sad to say you don't really like people and seem to suck right up to certain people and are crass and rude to others and think nothing of it.

Well if you realise it or not you speak volumes about yourself on doing these things, you probably would cheat at a game or lie to get what you wanted. Sad.

you know when it's happening

Ever over hear a small question from one person to another in your office and get that loathsome feeling that it was directed at them but about you?

I am adopting a cat with CP- a special needs cat and I was talking about it at the office to my one of 2 colleagues that I actually feel a little ok to do that with. I then heard one other person say to another are you planning on becoming a crazy cat lady? She turned and looked at him like she was saying "shut up! " but said nothing. Then he said oh...."did I misread that?" Then she typed and he suddenly said "oh! my mistake......."
It was just enough cloak and daggeresque to make me think it was about me. In that e-mails correcting him or telling him to shut up or whatever were sent , the look and the statements themselves make me wonder....and it may not be about what I was talking about but the fact that I am getting my 3rd cat leads me to think it was.

Nothing like something like that to make you feel ashamed of your choices or at least like you are the brut of a joke of some kind.

first impressions

I have met with the sharp tongue of a person I always thought was a beast but now I know for certain.
I should have trusted my first instincts on that one. You know when someone treats everyone but you with kindness and shows you nothing but disdain and snarly quips?

I usually trust my first instincts and I don't know how I ever felt that this person was any less of a snake than usual.

I also found another first impression was once again reminded to me when I saw a snarly response to the rules being applied. Many options were offered to allow participation and none were tried then spiteful comments were later made. By both of them!
