nicole in australia says this note was left on her coworker’s computer. “we work in a fairly small office and no one will own up to putting the note there,” she says — not that they disagree with the sentiment.
think about it, though. which is worse: the click-click-click of long fingernails on a keyboard, or the snip-snip of a coworker clipping his nails on company time?

I actually had a boss ask me to “Not Type So Loud” before.
Fucking bitch.

Stop leaving passive aggressive notes on your keyboard. It drives us all nuts.

I wonder if this was originally meant to be a telegram, hence the halting grammar and use of words sparingly…
I’m surprised it doesn’t read:
“Cut your nails! [stop]
or stop tapping them on keyboard [stop]
it drives us all nuts [stop]“

I fucking hate it when people clip their nails at work. A little trimming of one or two is fine, but it’s gross to cut all your nails at work, letting the nail bits fly all over your office! It’s almost as unsanitary as leaving the toilet seat up when you flush!

And so Evilica began to see the hard work she put into her wicked yet insidious plan begin to pay off.

during my tenure in HR, i always tried to hire people with no fingers so as to eliminate any kind of obnoxious tapping.

If he/she chooses the latter of that ultimatum, what will they type with?

Women with talons are annoying to work near. Always asking you to put coins in the vending machine for them.

The third post-it read: “How do you wipe your ass with those things anyway?”

If you don’t like the sound of nails tapping on the key board wait until I get back from lunch. I have a White Castle coupon and an active bowel.

Looking at the keyboard I can see that the tops of the keys are grease/oil/dirt covered and there are some questionably colored collections of grime on the sides of some of the keys. Combined these indicate probable eating at the desk.
If I were to PAN this keyboard it would definitely be to comment on how unsanitary keyboards are in general. They’re dirtier than a toilet seat regardless of lid position. As an IT support professional using other people’s keyboards grosses me out. When people quit the first thing I do is throw their keyboard away. No way should a new employee have to deal with someone’s popcorn and chips from years before.

I have never understood how those long nailed hos accomplished normal tasks like washing their dishes, wiping their ass and picking their nose…
