Lazy people don't use their swipe cards

This is a moralistic view of what lazy people who exploit the goodwill of others are like and I totally agree.

Whilst not bothered should someone quite by chance follow behind me, I too don't like those who wait for me to make the first move and rely on others to do their work.

You may think I am sad, but being moralistic, I don't get on well with those who expect to take a lot but give very little, which has something of a similarity with htis gripe.

Such people are opportunistic and want to take advantage of others because they are obsessed with greed and laziness. They probably haven't achieved much in life because they don't respect or treat others like they expect to be treated.

Look for reasons to criticise ones like me and you must also be sad.

I for one believe that those who think we are sad, are sick or psychologically warped, and so would rather be moralistic than this.

We have swipe cards also, it seems these "door hoverers" are a common beast in the workplace.

Usually they have left their card on their desk and cant get back in top the office after a trip to the coffe machine etc. To taunt the "cardless" on the other side of the glass door I usually give a cheery wave or a thumbs up and continue past the door as if I dont know what they want. This leads to frantic motioning by the person trying to get my attention which is quite funny, I then make a big show of trying to find my card just to wind it up some more.

Happy days!

Its the little things in life that make office life go faster

Yeah, I see where you are coming from.

We have a similar system at work and have the same kind of people, lazy. They will wait by a door for me to get my card out, engaging me in minor chitchat trying to throw me. They won`t need anything from the stores unless I`m going, won`t want a cuppa unless I am making one. It does annoy me at times but you have to laugh at the inventiveness of these idlers. You have to look at it as a give and take thing. I have raced in front of people saying "let me use my card" making a big thing over it and then holding the door open, ushering people through, thanking each one. Equally, I have also just stood at the door and said " are you getting your card out or are we standing here all day? "

A good gripe, glad I am not the only one.

I hope you will enjoy my future gripe....People who miss the point of a gripe and focus on the psychology of the poster.

Somehow I think you need to see a SHRINK. Your one very SAD person.

I totally agree with the other comment. If this is your only worry in life then you are one very lucky person. I would suggest you actually get a life and then this sort of thing wouldn't worry you at all.

Wow....... you really must have a boring life. If you only have things like this to worry about then I would consider yourself to be very lucky.
