The Thursday Rant: Office Etiquette & Pedal Taverns Edition

Share This Post

It’s that time of the week again. Let’s get those grievances off our chests.

Rubber Rooster

I don’t understand people that leave their dirty dishes in the office sink. Do they think someone else is going to clean it for them? Are they trying the good ole “soak” method? No one at work is going to babysit you, and if there is a cleaning crew, they are not doing your dishes either. Just take a couple of minutes and scrub out your own Tupperware or mug.

For the love of God, never leave food waste in the fucking sink. There is no garbage disposal. No one is picking up your strawberry slices or tea bags out of the sink. Who the fuck even thinks those things belong in the sink in the first place?! Throw it away in the trash can like a proper functioning human. You clearly are competent enough to have an office job. I assume your mother doesn’t still wipe your ass, so please behave in a way that shows you’re an adult.

A few more random things that really shouldn’t have to be addressed:

  1. Don’t clip your nails at your desk
  2. Wear deodorant and shower daily
  3. Don’t play guitar, bounce a basketball, drum your nails constantly, or any other stupidly annoying thing
  4. Wrap your used feminine products in toilet paper. I don’t even want to know what kind of monster thinks leaving an exposed, used, bloody, tampon in the trashcan is an acceptable action
  5. Don’t eat other people’s food
  6. COURTESY FLUSH
  7. Don’t use the elevator when you’re only moving up/down one floor (I would even say 2 floors, but I’ll be reasonable for Nashville standards)
  8. Reset the timer on the microwave FFS

I hate to rail on people just trying to make a buck, but I have to aim my rant squarely at the pedal taverns of Nashville, Tennessee. I get it – it seems like it could be a real blast. Pedaling a giant bike with a bar built around it throughout downtown. Or, just being lazy and not doing anything while the rest of the team carries your burden of an ass.

My gripe with the pedal taverns? Stay out of rush hour.

This seems like common sense. When thousands of people are trying to leave a city that’s infrastructure is already too small for its’ growing population, maybe be a pal and don’t make things worse!

Nope – don’t tell pedal taverns things that make sense. We see them almost daily as we’re trying to get out of town. It slows down traffic, backs up traffic lights, and infuriates the citizenry.

I’ve also heard it’s expensive and you have to bring your own beer….so yeah, on second thought….I don’t know why we even really need these things. Let’s make like Amsterdam and get ’em out.

Whew – that felt good. Remember, to submit your own Thursday Rant, hit us up on Facebook or on Twitter @SoBrosNetwork. See you next Thursday.
