Manager smoking while right next to me

Problem Of Motivation

She was smoking while showing me how to use the card board baler. As she was standing right next to me. At one stage she looked like such a knacker with the fag in her mouth, while both hands were occupied.

This didn't seem very professional of her. I was wondering if I should say "that cigarette is a bit too strong for me" but I didn't want to piss her off. Bloody annoying though. Having thought about it, I seriously doubt she'd done this back when I was new on the job. I've never been that close to a cigarette for so long. Yauk.

I've got a new job now, and I'd have a good mind to send a letter to her boss about this.

Do you now know how to use the cardboard baler? If you weren't listening she was will have to show you again.

Maybe she doesn’t like the radio.

I do, but if she has to show me again I will tell her. I don't care if I get fired.

Most unprofessional things aren't as noticeable as this though.

OP, hope you are well and hope you can you clarify please - what does ‘Yawk’ mean?

Don’t worry OP, smokers are jokers. She will get her comeuppance, mark my words!

Outdoors. I still think it would be common manners to put the bloody thing down while you have to stand next to someone.

Shame. Not much fun being at the wrong end of a cigarette

How does the cardboard baler work?

Funnily enough I shared a lift with two idiots this morning who thought it was perfectly acceptable to smoke inside the lift. Cnuts. Didn't say anything cos they looked like the sort that 'shoot first, ask questions later'.

Puts cardboard into bales. Smoking optional.

Seriously? I wouldn't have got in.

What sort of a place was this?

Like I said a while ago, I still don't think she'd have been this disrespectful on my first day.

Do you spend all your time frantically hitting refresh on this site just so you can post about your extraordinary discovery that people re-reg on this site? Might I suggest you find something more intellectually and emotionally satisfying to do with your time? That dude Srameen is quicker off the mark than you as well, so no need for two hall monitors to be on duty all the time.

You’d hope so, a baler made of cardboard isn’t going to last too long out in the rain.

There was a regular customer who was smoking next to the pumps recently. The same fella is a bit stupid. When he came in to pay I told him not to do smoke like that. The assistant manager was also aware of it and did nothing. He didn't like it one bit and has been sarcastic towards me since.

As a matter of fact, I later saw him chatting to the assistant manager as if they were best friends.
