"You have too many Tonka trucks! I'm taking one!" "You have too many legos, these are mine!!"
Those both sound a lot like what this girl where I work just said.
"You have too many carts in here, this one is mine!" And runs off with a small cart my co-worker has been using for almost a year. Where I work, we have big carts and small carts for transporting our samples from the cooler to the lab and back again. Most of us in the lab keep small carts to reduce clutter (they're about half the size of our regular carts) in the room. I have one I've been using since 2006 when I started, and there's another I use from time to time to transport samples between the lab and a storage room, and use it to store samples on that we've had in the lab since '07. My co-worker has a cart she's been using since last year when she started. Usually there are no problems with it, everyone kind of respects that it is "your" cart, even if it really is the "company's" cart.
The girl who is on a tirade is from the sample management area, saying that we stole her cart this morning. Yet as I explained above, we've all had these for awhile now. So she storms in and takes my co-workers cart and says "well this is mine now!" And storms back out. Co-worker came back and asked where her cart was so she could get samples and I told her the other girl took it to the sample management area. She went to go retrieve it, and a minute later the angry girl comes back and asks "Where are the rest of the f***ing carts?!?! I dont care if you're using them I AM TAKING IT!" So she went into the storage room and took the other one I have (which had samples being stored on it), removed them somewhere (not good) and took off again. Which will be fine, come 12pm when she leaves I'll just retrieve it from that area and hope I can find the samples she took off it and put it all back to normal.
Point of this is that I feel like I'm in preschool again fighting over stupid stuff. Are people really that immature where I work?!? This girl is a 28 year old mom of 3. You'd think she'd grown up somewhere along the line. She's been really crabby for the last few months. Used to be really nice to all of us, and then one day started snapping at us, having an attitude, throwing baskets of samples down in the lab, and now freaking out over carts we've been using forever.
Just needed to vent, and hope that me and my other 2 co-workers in here aren't the only ones that find this highly immature.
