I can't believe I left out this guy that thinks everyone likes him and everyone wants to talk. I'll admit, he's a really nice guy, but he talks and talks about stuff you don't care about. He'll come to my desk, start talking, and I'll just keep working while he talks about crap I could care less about. He eventually gets the hint, and then the next day is right back at it. He loves to tell supid jokes, and always dies laughing after he tells them. The worst part about him is that he stinks! I've talked to a supervisor who is good friends with him and he told me that the guy smokes cigars and that's why, but unfortunately he doesn't smell that good. The last thing are his teeth. Doing what he does and being single I have no doubt he can afford to get something done, they face every way but down! They are also so dark yellow they look orange! He's also the type that always has to top what you say. For example, if you told him you went to a Rockets game and got to meet TMac and Yao, he'd say something like...."oh yeah last year I went to again and sat in the suites, afterwards they took us into the locker room to meet all of the players. He always has something to top what you say. Like I said he's a nice guy, but he obviously doesn't realize how annoying he is. Pugs
Ah, the office pet-peeves... -Office Dullard -Someone showing me something on the computer and getting -right- in my personal space so I have to hold my breath or breathe in their breath. -People walking by and looking in the office -every single time- (nosy) -The office 'water club'- you might have this if your company doesn't pay for bottled water. They demand a contribution even if you drink less than the next guy, not to mention that the sum doesn't add up. I stumped them all and got my own water bottle right next to my desk. -People who complain about computer problems before they reboot.
-every time he cuts a small piece of wood with the table saw, he feels the need to throw the smaller piece of wood at me. -fakes hitting me with 2x4's so that i flinch...maybe i just wanna live without brain damage...dumbass. -comes in drunk or hung over. -makes drug deals on his phone when he should be working. -he makes $2000 more than me per month, since he gets that money from his reserve (he's "first nations" or "native american").
Lets see... A drunk guy....operating power tools...swinging a 2x4 at your head. Time to go back to school 3814!
Not a recent problem, but the Girl Scout Cookie "pushers" at my old job used to bug me so much, I decided to boycott all Girl Scout cookies. I even thought of asking my boss to ban them from the office. It was almost considered an act of hostility if you didn't buy at least a couple of boxes from each person. Once I enacted the "boycott", people got the message and finally quit asking.
1.) the smelly b*stard - this one guy has b.o. so engrossing it leaves a trail of odor in his path. if you step into an empty restroom and have this waft into your nostrils as you push open the door, you know he’s occupied it just minutes before. Congratulations, you know have the pleasure of breathing this in as you piss. 2.) the lazy f***ers - people who are taking a “break” from their work and decide to spend it talking to you while you clearly have work to do. The worst ones won’t take a hint and just keep on rambling about the most boring crap imaginable. 3.) the inconsiderate b!tch - take your personal calls outside b!tch. I really don’t care if Ray Ray woke up late this morning and is just now eating breakfast. 4.) the noisy walker - we also have a “stomper” in our office who walks as if she’s forcibly placing all of her body weight into each step as it makes contact with the floor. The funny part is she’s the smallest woman in the building. 5.) the guy with too many problems – smoker, lets out a heavy sigh to let all of us know he’s frustrated with his work throughout the day (thanks for making my work experience that much more enjoyable), then passes judgment if someone shows up 5 minutes late from lunch. 6.) the comedian who doesn’t know he’s in a professional environment – I enjoy a good race joke as much as the next guy, but not during work hours within earshot of everyone elsse. “chinks” doesn’t come off too well in a government building you dumbass. Unfortunately this has become the norm in cubicle world when you mix people with different education backgrounds and personalities. I’m sure there’s more than this list but it’s all I can think of for now.
Man, I already appreciated the fact that none of my co-workers bothered me, but this thread is making me want to take them all out to dinner or something.
