Furl's guy reminds me of some frenchy- and I think his name may have actually been pierre- that worked in the same pod as me 20ish years ago. 

some highlights:

daily surf the internet to find two things:

1- porn- small window always open in the corner of his screen.

2- polls that showed how stupid americans are ("ehhhh... do you know zat ze americans sink ze sun go around ehhh- ze earth. look- 28% actually sink zis")

reeked of cigarettes, coffee and bo at all times- not the only smell it up close kind.

co-workers and I would randomly bring food in to share- cookies, donuts, fruit... whatever. I used to walk by a krispy kreme that had just opened in NYC for the first time, so I'd bring a dozen every now and then (only about 12-15 of us in the office, so always about right as a couple of people didn't partake). I noticed they'd disappear waaay quicker than I always expected given the small size of the office. one day after putting the donuts on the counter, he follows right behind and grabs FIVE ####### donuts- out of twelve- stacks them on his desk... notices that I've seen him and laughs "see, eet eez ze skycraper".

Cinnamon toast or hot cheetohs.  Rest sound gross.

 
I had to come to San Francisco for a two- hour meeting, to which I was late and missed half.  Then we had a four-hour happy hour.  Not bad.

Now I'm having a pizza topped with crispy kale and grapes.  Feels very San Francisco-y.

guy at work who sends me 12 emails and instant messages with links to..... the dumbest ####.... sent me an mp3 titled "analintruder" today.

absolutely no ####### way on earth i'm opening that at the office. but now it's in my email profile.

i'm no stinking rat but this is a daily occurrence. every day. links to pr0n stories, links to any grotesque poop/sex/anatomy related story or image he can find. every. day. none of it do i open or respond to. it's like he's getting off just on sending the messages. i don't want to know... at this point, anonymous note to HR?

i can't punch him in the face without getting fired but nothing else has worked. he has somewhat changed his focus to CAN YOU IMAGINE!!!?!??! guy (instead of sending me a link then immediately walking to my desk to ask if i'd seen it, or telling me to stop by his desk so he can show me something abhorrent on his machine he does that to ??!??!?!! now) who has also told him to #### off, but that has done nothing but ratchet up the volume for both of us.

not even sure how to explain the dynamic here. 
 

before someone says "have you told him to stop?". yes. multiple times. in a number of ways ranging from nice to threatening. 

he just seems to get off on the idea of there being no way to stop him sending emails (i don't have a way to block them.. corporate policy).

Offer to suck him off. He either freaks out and leaves you alone or you get to taste him. Win-Win

maybe you should get him a cat.   then he'll just send annoying cat videos all the time.

I feel like the concept of "being a rat" has really gone miles away from its use or relevancy.  You aren't in prison or a rough neighborhood.  No one's going to punch you out for going to HR.  I mean you are having to put up with daily BS like that, for what?  Street cred?  #### this guy.

i stabbed a man on my way in to the office today

it's like Escape from New York out there

maybe it's different where you live :gang2:

 
for now i've set up a filter to send everything to junk

and now that i think about it, i can let the #### sit there and pile up so that i have a record for when it comes to HR time

i've had.......  a problem..... once before here, years ago. i reported it to my supervisor, who sent it to my manager, who sat me down in an office and told me to grow some hard bark and shut the #### up about it because she didn't want to have to deal with HR over it.

feeling wronged, i went to HR....  who went to my manager.. who told me that i usurped the chain of command and i was now on probation. another mis-step would see me in a "review" status which is the last step before being fired.

after that i was refused promotion and my raises went from a paltry 2.5 - 3% down to 0.5 - 0.8% because "business".

i've since changed departments, supervisors, managers and don't report to the same higher ups so, less worried about consequences but also.. fool me once shame on me. fool me twice, i'm out of a job.

Such utter, utter bull####.  "As your manager, I don't want to deal with this, but if you go to the dept. that's supposed to deal with it if I won't then I'm going to punish you!"

I cannot tell you how many people I have worked with that this has happened to.  Why have a freaking HR department at all if it's just an excuse to screw someone out of pay for being vocal?  "Can't have non-lemmings, here at "Jellycockdong Unltd.", Furls!  Suck it up and get in line!"

#### those types of people.

The reason most companies have an HR department is to help prevent them from being sued and/or to be an expendable layer of insulation between rank and file employees and higher management.

Really? Wow, I didn't realize that. :mellow:

If all they're worried about is getting sued(and it might be), then they should be happy as hell to hear from Furley that Prof. Creepington has sent him a terabyte of **** pics over the last two quarters.  If he'd point something like that out to them, then get the treatment he described fro his prior run-in with HR, then I re-iterate...."#### those types of people."

/Back to our regularly scheduled cat .gifs/cantaloupe "yea/nay" stuff

This.

And to add, you're being an enabler. Maybe someone else doesn't want to see this crap either and have, was, or will be getting it on the downlow like you are.

You need to keep this feud going and get them to brawl and hopefully HR will fire them both.  That would be a big win for mr. furley  :thumbup:

Hazel watches a movie in my car called "Inside Out".  As far as kids' movies goes, it's pretty good.  I've never seen it as it's always playing in the backseat which would make it hard to watch while I drive, but I've heard it dozens of times.  Anyhow, Lewis Black is one of the voices and after the family moves to San Francisco and orders pizza with brocolli on it, he says in his trademark voice; "Congratulations San Francisco.  You've RUINED pizza!".   And I laugh and laugh and then Hazel laughs and laughs and well, it's pretty funny.
