I have my own box of cleaning chemicals and other cleaning equipment at work, and I have to keep the cleaning stuff locked up in the cupboard to prevent it from mysteriously going missing, although I can leave the empty box outside on one of the shelves. But to save me having to take all the cleaning equipment out of the box each night and having it in an untidy jumble among the other cleaning bottles, I found a space in the cupboard to just put my (full) box, just by moving one pack of cleaning sponges neatly on top of another pack of cleaning sponges. My supervisor is the one who locks and unlocks the cupboards but otherwise I'm basically the only one that uses these chemicals. But he came up to me the next day and started telling me off for putting my box into the cupboard. I tried to explain to him that I did it for the sake of simplicity, but he was all like "there's no room for your box. Just empty the contents and leave the box outside of the cupboard." It just annoyed me because there was plenty of room in the cupboard for my box, by only moving one minor item. If I was the sort to argue, I would say "look, does it matter where I put the box as long as it isn't in your or anyone else's way?" I mean, there are more important matters at work for a supervisor to think about than where I put my box in the cleaning cupboard.
Some supervisors, they think that they have the right to tell you off over the silliest trivial things just because they can. I like my supervisor, he's real funny, but when he's serious, he's serious.
