2. You've opened the flood gates

The Gross Girl this morning - I walked by her as I do every day and here's my list -

If you eat at your desk -

Do not chew with your mouth open (apple flicked on me on Wednesday - right in my face).
Do not talk with your mouth wide open eating a banana.
Do not burp loudly.
Do not slurp your food, and make a lot of noise chewing with your mouth open.
Do not fart loudly.
Do not wear a short skirt and sit with your legs wide open while burping, farting, talking with food in your mouth or chewing and smacking/slurping with your mouth open.

It's gross.

ETA - My admin just reminded me that she gets super grossed out ALONG WITH ME - as does everyone else in our section when she clips her finger nails and toe nails at her desk on Monday morning. It's just disgusting.

The building 'reset' cannot happen fast enough for me.

I feel worse for the guy in PR that sits on the other side for her than I do me - he bears the brunt of the loud farting every day after lunch.
