I work in an office area where we sit close to each other (but not in cubicals). We each get our own computer, desk space and trash bins. The co-worker on the right of me is a germaphobic. I’m ok with being clean and everything, but this is a bit extreme.
My co-worker get so upset when her trash bin gets almost half-full, she cannot stand it. So, while I am in a meeting, at lunch, or just anytime I am away from my desk, she will empty her trash into my container. This must go on 3 to 4 times a day. While I have confronted her about this (in a nice matter) she totally denied it.
I wouldn’t care except then my trash overflows and makes me look like a complete slob. I just cannot believe someone would be so rude!
