Is seeing folks cry at work my biggest pet peeve? No. But it came up today, so I'm all hot and bothered.
An office is a place for business meetings, and surfacey relationships. NOT FOR CRYING. I get uncomfortable when people cry no matter where I am. Do I hug them? Do I pretend I don't see it? What do I say? I usually end up overcompensating for how uncomfortable I am and turn into their best friend until the episode has passed. I'm sure they have no idea, but inside I am FREAKING OUT. Real emotions don't sit well with me. I prefer to save up all my crying for hallmark commercials and episodes of Intervention. I'd really appreciate it if you would too.
