24 of 30 - The Wrong Way to Eat A Bagel

[aggienaut]

Sometimes people's reluctance to "think outside the box" is rather surprising.

(1) Back when I was working in a law office, occasionally I would be photocopying documents ALL DAY. I asked my immediate supervisor, if we could put a stool in the copying room so I'm just just standing there all day. "We could..." he responded, "...but that would be lazy!" ...So it would be lazy if I were to sit down, but it's not lazy when people who are at their desk all day get to sit down?
(2) The other day I was eating a bagel with creamcheese from a nearby cafe. This coworker we'll call J comes and looks at me like I'm totally insane and comments "I have NEVER seen someone eat a bagel like that!" I look at the bagel and try to see what's wrong. I ask him, and he says "both sides together like a sandwich like that.. NORMALLY people eat it in halves." Yeah well, this is the way the cafe gave it to me, if I was making it myself yeah I'd probably eat it half by half, but why would I disassemble the bagel to make it take longer to eat?
(3) The following day I was moving a pile of debris to a dumpster around the corner, so I went and got a dolly. "You're using a dolly??" coworker B asks, looking at me like I was the laziest person he'd ever seen. "Well, its either two trips with this or eight trips with armfulls..." "I guessss" he skeptically concedes, as if it would still be more meritorious to go the cave man route.

What's wrong with these people? Personally, _I_ always make sure there's not an obvious reason why someone's doing something before I make fun of them.

Silly.

This one law firm I worked at they had me mostly just making copies of things. I just kept thinking "I didn't go to college for four years to operate a copy machine" and got out of there as fast as I could. ugh. Then I didn't work in a law firm for a long time after that, was traumatized. d:
