annoying habits of your coworkers

officemate talks constantly on the phone, mostly making plans with family and friends or talking to the fucking CONCIERGE service in her building. I know she's busy and she just moved and all, but fuck. Often I turn around thinking of asking her nicely to go outside and realize she's on the office phone.

Most of these calls have the running theme of "Oh god, I can't be there at that time, I have to work. I work in a law office" etc. YOU COME IN AT 11AM EVERY FUCKING MORNING. YOU CAN WAKE UP EARLY AND LET THE SUPER IN BEFORE YOU LEAVE.

Okay, I don't know if this is a "habit", but this really nice guy moved to the desk behind me and I have discovered that he makes this loud sharp throat-clearing noise every few minutes. It's worst than fingernails on a chalk board. He doesn't smoke or anything. Nervous tic maybe? Hopefully he is getting over illness or something. </vent>

I got headphones in and my coworker always bothers me. Appears behind me randomly. Talks about every call he gets. I've had to tell him to essentially fuck off.

clipping their nails and letting them fly everywhere in this office space

Co-worker is always late (sometimes massively late).

Well. Couldn't find the other thread but wanted to say the bullying has stopped after I approached her weeks back. She's not nice per se but better. Anyways my manager told me today there's been a culture of toxicity for years and they're trying to fix it. Good news

get rid of the toxic people? what's so confusing

usually the issue isn't recognizing it as much as realizing there's just *so many* toxic people that if you sacked them all at once, the company would have to close for a month

the one thing I always found about toxic people is they rarely expect people to parry, and the few times I have they actually recoiled in shock.

no prouder moment than when I fuckin' faced down one of the top execs in our company after he was being a prick and he just let me.

(not that I recommend that approach, I was v much in dngaf mode)

coworker two months ago: "no man, I swear, you don't need to refrigerate milk because it's pasteurized!"
coworker this week: "Ohhhh my god why do I have such horrible stomach pains?"

Ah ha ha.

This is the thread I need at least as often as the 'stupid, annoying coworkers' thread.

Hey dude who always loudly scats at the urinal: don't do that. You don't need to do that.

i assume you mean scat in the scatman john sense of the word rather than the umm... other sense?

The former, but I would never discount what else a disgusting savage of this ilk might be capable of.

is there a single link I can give to people who put "S" in the middle of every time zone abbreviation, even during daylight saving time?
