I got in trouble for eating chips too loudly. One of my coworkers complained to management and they had my supervisor lecture me about respecting boundaries in the workplace. The thing is that the supervisor thought it was stupid too but he still had to do it.

    Meh, I can understand it to an extent. Depends on the severity.

    Someone at my workplace, rather than having a meal in their break, just keep crunching raw carrots at their desk for hours on end. I don't think I'd complain to management if I was sitting close, but I'd sure as hell ask to be moved somewhere far, far away from the carrot nutcase.

    Dont eat chips at work if you're seated next to other employees, especially if you're still at your desk and they are trying to work. Thats gronk behaviour. Go eat in the lunchroom.

    Management is just glorified babysitting.

    Perhaps I'm acting boomerish but I can't believe some of the shit that people get angry about at work.

    Eating chips too loudly, or your on the phone too much, your cologne/perfume bother me, the windows are too dirty...

    Like, it's fucking work. It's kinda supposed to be miserable

    I mean I'm probably gonna get down voted for this but........ The chips thing I can understand to a certain degree. My ex loves crunchy foods. She would bite into them with her mouth open so that it made the loudest noise possible because it was satisfying for her. In a quiet setting that noise can be extremely distracting.

    The perfume thing... Some scents give me an outright headache if I'm exposed to them for too long. I haven't experienced it with perfume yet, but I have with some air freshener scents. So in that regard I get it.

    Would I go to my boss about it? Nah. I'd explain my position to the individual and ask that they chew with their mouth closed or maybe use one less squirt of perfume, but I wouldn't report them over it. That's just sad.

    You are being boomerish, at least about the cologne/perfume thing.

    I have asthma, and it reacts to scents like perfumes and cologne especially when used heavily.

    I'm not there to work and struggle to breath due to some dumbfuck that doesn't want to wash their clothes.

    The perfume / cologne thing - I'm not like, super sensitive but there's a couple of brands out there that make me feel like my lungs are gonna collapse if I keep breathing them. Just some kind of chemical in there or something. It's literally physically distressing, especially if I'm already feeling headachy or a bit tired.

    And sometimes it's not that, it's just the smell is so thick I can taste it from feet away. I just don't want my mouth tasting like whatever it is they're wearing.

    Tbf I get the perfume cologne thing to a point.

    If people wear it like it's meant to be worn it ain't bad, but people who douse themselves in it so you can tell they were in the room ten minutes after they left, that's too much.

    We had a person who was the guy who complained about people's scent but he reeked like bo. Like awful. That bugged me more than people's cologne.
