I swear I'm going to set this place on fire.......

I'm having a Milton moment.
I was using a chart in the back room of the nurse's station. There's a big round table, sits 8 people easily, where we can all work.  I had a chart open, a pad and pen out, and my water next to the chart- all signs that any intelligent person can deduce that that is someone's work space.  I got paged and went to a phone to answer said page.  When I came back, my stuff was moved, the chart was closed, and my pad and pen were thrown across the table. Oh, did i mention that the entire table was EMPTY except for my stuff? Fucking genius couldn' sit on the other 8 seats or on the other side of the table. MY space was the one she HAD to sit at?! Are you fucking kidding me?!  So I very noisily gathered my things, disrupted her work. Why? because I don't give a shit. If you're going to be that dense, then you will suffer the consequences.  She looks up and says "Oh, were you sitting here?"  Really. How fucking clueless can one person be?
I swear I'm going to burn this place tot he ground. But I'll make sure to take my stapler.

Milton moment? Is that like where you're feeling like it's better to reign in hell than serve in heaven, a la Paradise Lost? Or is this one of those many popular culture references that I've missed over the last few years, since I don't have cable and haven't found much time for tv-watching and moviegoing in a while.

The top Google hit for "Milton moment" is a children's story about a doctor rescuing a skunk.

Milton is a character from Office Space. He's the guy in my icon. If I knew how to create a link, I would.
so, yes, cultural reference :)

You are not alone in the oblivious co-worker world.

Ok, you might be able to argue that MAYBE someone thought the yogurt they took from the fridge was really their's (although several yogurts of different types, kind of pushes this theory). BUT SURELY, you would remember putting a piece of toast into the toaster, RIGHT?!?!?

One morning a co-worker put some toast into the toaster, and then went to the ladies room while it toasted. She came back...and the toast was GONE!! Yes, the yogurt "thief" came in and took the other woman's toast...OUT OF THE TOASTER! The poor girl came back in to get her breakfast and it was gone!

Some people...

And someone this oblivious is trying to help people adjust to real life? Scary.
