Always at work, someone needs to suck it...

I had a suck-it free weekend.  It's no surprise to me that work brought it on.  I received an email from an internal contact in regards to a dispute on a billing issue.  I replied direct to the customer, told them it was currently rated as per their expectations and asked our invoicing team to send a fresh copy. 

This was the customer's response:

Yes, we know. The email I sent that you are responding to was sent on June 24. This is now Aug 2. The situation was settled by other people responding much sooner. But thanks anyway.

Of course, I did not realize the email was over a month old.  I got it as a new issue and treated it as such.  I did an email search only to find the "people responding much sooner" was ME! I had already resolved this on June 25, so the only thing I was guilty of was not searching before I responded.

My response to her (with her name being changed to protect her asshattery).  I also included a copy of the email chain from June 25.

Hi Hag! Happy Monday to you.
Yes, I believe I assisted with this issue when it came up on June 24. I received today's email from another internal collegue as if this were a new issue and didnt even notice the date. Believe the cargo wasn't pricing correctly because the incorrect customer name was provided at time of booking but seems that we got that cleared up. Sorry I didnt catch that before replying.
Have a great week!

I can't exactly tell a customer to suck it, but I believe that I can consider this a backhanded suck it.

So here we are...

I am tired of being the quinticential negative girl, so instead of voicing my very brutal opinions and truths, I decided to do that here in the privacy of my own little blog. I know, it's a blog, on the internet - so not private.  The difference is that here I will be anonymous and I can be free.

Pretty much every day I run across someone or something that I consider worthy of a "suck it".  By this I mean that this person or situation is such an idiot or is doing something so annoying that I just want to look at them and say, "You know what?  You need to SUCK IT!!".

With that said, today's winner:  A co-worker - the most common type of offender.  Two in this case.  I sit next to a spanish speaking co-worker, known to you as Sue, and on many occasions co-worker #2, Lisa, will come to Sue's desk (again, right next to mine) and have a 10 minute loud conversation -- in Spanish.  Usually when Lisa is talking with Sue, she is standing mostly in MY desk space.  The conversation volume alone is enough to warrant a "suck it" but the fact that it is in Spanish creates the need for a "SUCK IT".  Today's incident was so much more.  Today, Lisa's friend - also a Spanish speaker came over and handed Lisa a plastic bag while she was at Sue's desk - and she proceeded to put said bag on MY desk, in MY document inbox.  If that wasn't enough, every few mins she fondled the bag, causing it to create a noise. ALL WHILE STILL ON MY DESK.

I have photographic evidence:
