I just had a man enter my office (which contains three cubicles) and manspread the whole ass room. I have never seen this. I instantly hated this person.
There are people who command with their presence in a quiet way. This was not that. This was not a natural, respectable, commanding (think Reacher from the TV show with Alan Ritchson, not the movie. Or anything with Henry Caville or Alan Ritchson where they just stand there quietly but respectfully). This was an extremely annoying “I’m important” imposition.
He walked in, went to the center of the room, spread his feet apart, puffed out his chest, crossed his arms over his puffed out chest, and very loudly and firmly (in a quiet office sitting) said “officemate, I need your attention.” I said (disrespectfully) “she’s in a meeting.” Cause she was literally hosting a TEAMS meeting with her headphones on. I’ve been listening to it for an hour and a half. I fucking hate return to office.
So she asks her meeting to give her a second and she informed him she’s in a meeting and asks who he is. He says he’s with <<Insert bane-of-my-existence dumpsterfire here>>. They need to talk to her. He clarifies it’s nothing bad. She clarifies she’s in a fucking meeting.
So he told her to come to his office when she’s done, explains where it is, his name – way too much time taken from someone hosting a meeting. He should have just said, I’ll send you a message or an email, but no.
What an asshole. I’ve never seen someone just come in and demand to be seen and heard like that. Just fucking manspreading over the whole room. Fuck off.
And I know he isn’t high ranking military as they wear uniforms. Even our directors aren’t such assholes.
UPDATE: Oh it’s a head hunt. Blood shall be spilled over this new dumpsterfire flare up.
