    Have some? List 'em here.




    One I just dealt with: The guy who always emails for help but leaves as soon as he hits send. I'm very prompt, and this guy always does this to me. I don't mind going to his desk twice, but it's the principal. :mad:

    ok, the jackass that wont stop sneezing due to allergies, its not just the sneezing, she would rub his noise and inhale, snort, omgggggggg

    sometimes i feel that if i kill him, i would do the human population a favor by not letting him pass that annoying genetic mutation (read=YEAR ROUND ALLERGY) to future generations......

    2 things..

    1) ppl in the help desk/customer service industry have killed the reputation for those who act fast, so we all expect slow response time generally

    2) if you guys actually do act fast, you should make it known that the person will get a response within 10 minutes or whatever it might be. Now you're taking responsibility if you're slow..but they will have to wait for you.

    People that talk too much. People that laugh too much on the phone and talk really loud. People that don't put their cell on silent. People that try to get you to join speech leadership organizations like "Toastmasters". People that close your door when you are on the phone even though that duty is above their paygrade. People that act like they know everything but when you go to them for help you realize they haven't learned anything in the 12 years they've worked at the place. People that get in your business too much. PEOPLE THAT COMMENT ON EVERY SINGLE LITTLE THING WHETHER THEY ARE INVLOVED IN THE CONVERSATION OR NOT. People that bash their own company to their superior's clients. People that tell their superior that they will not do what they are asked because they are "answering phone calls" when the whole day they sit on personal calls. People that talk back to their bosses. People that cause their boss thousands because they were "too busy answering the phone" to put in an order that day . . or the next.

    All of these things are wrapped up into the person sitting directly outside my office.

    and on the thread... the woman on the other side of the wall who decides that anytime after 5 pm means she can pretend no one else is here. (even when there are clearly a lot of people here, including me.. but her boss probably isn't)

    she starts blaring Beyonce music from her computer, talks on her speakerphone and listens to her voicemails on speaker, makes calls about the electricity at her house, etc.

    People who come in on Monday morning and fill up the office refrigerator with a weeks worth of breakfasts, lunches, and afternoon snacks.

    That thing should be totally empty every night. Instead it has more crap in it than my fridge at home does and there’s no room for those of us who only bring ONE lunch every day (like we’re supposed to).

    EDIT: My GOD! I sound like Milton!!

    I would be mad to, you got a he/she working with you.

    I hate the guy that always comes over and wants to have a conversation. Sometimes I just want to be left alone to work buddy.

    the owner of the company calls me for help with his outlook and then i'll say i will be there in a few minutes i am in the middle of something.

    less than one minute later he is in my office at my desk asking me the same question because its super-urgent. I tell them the same thing and he will wait there until I am done and I will go in only to see that he just has re-ordered the sort on his email and doesnt know how to get to re-sort by date despite the numerous times every week I show him.


    people always assuming their issues are always the most important and acting that way when putting in requests.

    getting mad at not having a project done the next day despite not knowing what my own workload is and after telling them an ETA of a few days before hand.


    people microwaving all sorts of nasty things in the office break room leaving it to stink up the entire office....luckily for me my office is on the other side o the suite.


    people using their desktop PCs as a foot rest


    people trying to take my chair out of the office thinking i wouldnt notice the difference (the chairs in the private office are much nicer than the ones out on the cubilces)


    seeing birthday balloons up at people's desk months after their birthday has passed

    1. Overly happy morning person who wants to talk to me but I NEED TO WAKE UP FIRST! I've worked with you for 9 years, learn much yet dumbass?

    2. Person who parks in my spot that CLEARLY says reserved for LonghornFan.

    3. Person who forgets to turn off their cell phone for every meeting, every day. BTW- That stupid Beyonce song is like 6 years old!

    4. Person who heats up leftover seafood in the break room. It ****ing stinks, dummy. Eat is cold, quit being a douche.

    5. Guy who always uses the last paper towel in the bathroom to wash his hands and doesn't refill the holder thing. b****.
