The guy who sits next to me in my training class picks his nose and bites his nails constantly
Right there at the table, in plain view of the entire room. And then he has the fucking disgusting nerve to reach into the communal bag of candy corn that someone was kind enough to bring in!

Also, he doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom, so he basically spends his day sucking on his urine-soaked booger-fingers.

Any one of those habits is enough to make me vomit all over him, but in tandem? What mortal could bear such horror?!?


In addition, he pronounces "queue" as "kwee," and he refuses to be corrected.

1. I am amazed at how many people at work don't wash their hands after using the restroom.
I keep a mental note and make sure I never shake their hands.

2. I'm obsessive about cleaning my hands after the bathroom. Even if I haven't gone to the bathroom in
the bathroom I still wash my hands if say I've taken a pill.

4. I'm stunned that he can be so cavalier about it
Even if he doesn't personally care one way or the other, you'd think that basic social consciousness would inspire him to go for at least a cursory rinse.

5. Even if you do wash your hand b4 leaving, when you grab the door handle to exit you have
the no-wash crowd's stuff on your hands.

7. There are many ways around that, though
Many doors are "PUSH" on the way out, for example. Or you can hang onto a paper towel until after you've opened the door with the handle.

All sorts of coping mechanisms for dealing with our disgusting, nose-picking, nail-biting, hand-pissing peers.

3. What a maroon.
Everyone knows it's pronounced "kwee-wee."

Jeez.

6. At least he's not biting *your* nails
Or picking your nose. That would be weird.

9. True, that.

10. Believe it or not...
On day one, I handed him a paper towel after he'd had the full length of two fingers in his mouth, apparently to dislodge some kind of debris.

"What's that for?" he asked.



This man is a college graduate in his early 30s.

16. Kick, because the sick fucker still does it
He's gnawed his nails down to about 1/3 their natural length, so I have no idea how he can be such a successful nose-picker with them, yet somehow he manages.


Vile.

17. this is why they invented Purell hand sanitizer
I hate it when guys take the newspaper into the men's room with them, then they have the nerve to drop it off onto the table in the lunchroom at work....................... YUK. I never see women taking the paper in to the bathroom - jus' sayin'.

18. Once there was a complaint that women had a couch in their restroom, but men did not
So they asked the men: "If there were a couch in the men's room, would you sit on it?"

The unanimous answer: "Hell no."

22. At least
he doesn't bite his nose and pick his nails.

Or would that be worse?

Then again, you left out ass-scratchin' so the guy can't be ALL bad!
