annoying habits of your coworkers

Two other co-workers right on the opposite side of my cube have been discussing the movie "Garden State" for WEEKS now, which I find extremely obnoxious.

-- jill schoelen is the queen of my dreams! (mandeewrigh...), May 6th, 2005.

It's more that this guy will just launch into talking about these topics regardless of what others around him are/were talking about. This, combined with his general unawareness of just how lonely he comes, and he still wonders why no one invites him to the after-work get-togethers...

The worst: one of our employees talks behind EVERYONE's back. Doesn't she realize it's making me paranoid and that it's really annoying? I'm really tempted to tell the others, but then I realize it would only lead to a tense atmosphere.

god i was going to post this. it's astonishing isn't it.

(i throw mine against the wall and let the remains slide down onto my tongue but i wz brought up by bad wolves)

I should, and I will if it goes on much longer. But there are one or two people that sit closer to her who usually speak up first, so I was waiting for them to do it! (Actually she turned it off for a meeting we just had and luckily hasn't turned it back on yet...)

My coworkers are pretty nice and non-annoying in general, so I shouldn't whine.

I was going to post about how these two people at work constantly call me "Naomi" (the name of another co-worker) but that just pales in comparison to these stories of horror.

yeah, i have it pretty good, comparitively speaking. (this woman here has finally ditched the kelly clarkson, 3 days later).

THE NAME OF THE SONG IS NOT "TAKE", IS IT? IT'S "DRIVE"! "DRIVE"! "DRIVE"!

Also: 02/06/2005 : "You gotta give me some kind of sandal"(?)

Also the time he was wandering round for days saying "Ginko Biloba" was bizarre.

I think he lost his mind some time ago. God knows how the company keeps going.

ugh

My usually okay co-worker has turned into a raging ass over the past couple of weeks. Everytime you tell him the phone is for him he slams whatever happens to be in his hand at the time (pencil, pen, mouse, whatever) and starts cursing. This is when he's not just randomly throwing things around his desk in frustration.

We get it dude, we're all fucking busy. Deal.

my (female) co-worker stares at my chest indiscreetly when she's talking to me. totally weirds me out.

and annoys me. obv.

ppl exist and i just wanna exist by myself 2day.

aggressive self-importance in the workplace is the worst. well, either that or staring at someone's chest? geez!

This same co-worked also constantly bitches about how he has "too much work to do", yet leaves at 5:00 on the button every single day. Which, whatever, but its annoying when everyone else in the office is routinely pulling 10-12 hour days.

He also shuts down all his programs at 4:50 and sits there with the Windows log off dialog box up on his screen for ten minutes, waiting for 5:00 so he can click 'Log Off'.

"co-worker"

staring at someone's chest? geez!

I often catch our intern looking at my cleavage. But when he sees I notice he quickly looks away. He's 20. I feel bad for his lack of impulse control.

um he needs a punch in the face? the co-worker, not the intern. the intern just needs a girlfriend.

my co-worker is female, straight and has bigger boobs than me, so i don't know what she finds so fascinating.

The fact that yours are smaller? Perhaps she's considering a reduction.

hahahahahaaaaaaaaa

you're 100% about the first and second details about her?

xpost

i can't be 100% sure (well i could be about the first if i demanded she *prove* it) but i'm 99.9% sure. and she doesn't stare at them in a "i'd like to get my hands/lips on those" kinda way. she just stares. i'm less irritated and more comfortable with the gropings i get from my italian co-workers at the restaurant.

One of my coworkers has an annoying habit of being a biotch.

OK sometimes Coworker: My neice isn't even 2 years old and she knows her alphabet and numbers... and the woman at the daycare center was saying she's exceptionally smart for her age...
Killjoy biotch coworker: You know, that's not always a good thing though.
OK s coworker: What?
Killjoy biotch coworker: A kid being that smart... It can be sign of severe social disorders.

Then today when a coworker was talking about how well-behaved her kid is, Killjoy biotch coworker says, "You know, you really don't want a kid who always does what you ask them to do. No one does. No, seriously. Those are the kids that no one likes."

Pretty offensive, don't you think?

Grow up.

I'm kinda on the side of killjoy biotch here. Talking about yr kids is super-ultra-annoying. She's just schooling 'em on that fact.

Several:

--The people who stop the elevator at the 2nd floor to take it to the 1st, or the people who get on at the 1st floor to go to the 2nd. IT'S ONE FLOOR, TAKE THE DAMN STAIRS! it's no wonder that most of the people that do that resemble "Refrigerator" Perry (both males AND females).

--The people in the parking lot, who, instead of using the lanes designated for driving, drive THROUGH the parking spaces to save 20 seconds. During early morning, this is pretty dangerous.

--To piggyback on that, the people who want to back into a space but don't know how, so they drive through the space on the other side. Someone almost hit me doing this once because I had the audacity to try and park in a space properly and they tried to come through the other side.

--PEOPLE WHO PRINT MULTIPLE VERSIONS OF 100 PAGE DOCUMENTS AT THE PRINTER. ya know what, print it once, and photocopy it, and WHY THE HELL DO YOU NEED MULTIPLE COPIES?

--Lack of class. My friend told me once that she was in the ladies room and heard a lady in the john scolding her child on the phone while she was (audibly) dropping anchor. I swear to God...that kid will be messed up.

constant corny as fuck "jokes"

girl: hi this is avi, hes new and he'll be working in john's group.
annoying guy: Avi...... like an AVI! heheh
avi: yeah, A-v-i.
annoying guy: no see like an AVI file! like a dot-AVI! so just click on him and youll be watching a movie! heheh
all: uhh heh. yyyeah.

REALLY?? GOD SHUT UP YOU ARE SO LAME

Ahahahah! No srsly all I care about is will Avi be taking some of that 75-hr workweek?

ha, no, i'm not in john's group :p
ive been doing fewer hours but still need a vacation obvs ^^^

lets drink beer tomorrow

that's a great idea!

dude in the cubicle next to me has to sneeze like 18 times in a row but he always holds it in and just makes a "hut-NNN" noise instead of just sneezing. its so gross and makes me stressed out. let that shit fly dude

Dudes, the "secretary" in my office is flat fucking crazy.

Now, true - she lost her only daughter a few years ago to an unforeseen brain hemmorage, her older son is in jail, and her younger son (our file clerk) is an ex-tweaker who is a good guy, but is 25 with no high school diploma, a 3 year old son and another kid on the way, and she's in her second emotionally abusive marriage.

So, she's got a lot on her plate.

But, sweet Jeebus - she can't stop fucking talking to herself, whether its narrating what she types or finds out the internet (entirely unregulated); she never fesses to ANYTHING that she fucks up, but instead acts like this giant Telfon lump in the middle (literally) of the room that causes everything to careen out of control; and she's a total alcoholic. ALSO - she speaks like seven languages, and argues with people in all of them LOUDLY on the phone. Especially Farsi.

I had to leave or I would have strangled her yesterday.

BUT my boss loves her, so she's got a certain level of job security.

ALSO - her son takes it from her ALL day long. Like ALL DAY.

If I were him, I would have flipped out and killed someone by now.

Matter of fact - I'll try and keep a running log of what she does throughout the day... might be kind of tragicomdeic.

Hilarious until the gunfire.

People who make personal calls that are really intended for private quarters. I once was forced to listen (since the guy was sitting behind me and we were taking inbound calls at a work station) to a dude talking to his soon to be ex-wife, talking about how useless she was and informing her what his legal strategy would be to annihilate her in court. And it went on for an hour, audible to everybody within a 3 row radius.

Oh, and managers who don't have the cojones to be a manager. If your idea of managing is just maintaining the status quo and not causing a stir, then GO BACK to being a worker bee.

When I report employees who make personal outbound calls WHILE THEY HAVE CUSTOMERS ON THE PHONE ON THE OTHER LINE, they should be a step away from termination or worse...not kept on for several more months.

you have a future in management

No I don't. I'm a terrible leader.

Middle management, then.

I'm sort of already there.

Oh, I've been searching for this thread for ages for the tomato story!

That story has a way of lingering in the mind.

Yeah, with sound effects!

Coworker who always ALWAYS sucks air through his teeth after he does his "polite to customer" laugh - which he does very frequently as some kind of reflex thing - please, just stop. You sound like you stubbed your toe every 5 minutes. And stop saying "more than welcome" all the time! WTF.

OK, the only other person in the building at the moment has been chattering away for constantly for half an hour in the next office. I know he's alone. I know he doesn't have a mobile phone. I know he's not on the landline because all our phones have indicators to show which lines are in use. But he really sounds as though he's having a conversation. WTF?

maybe he's got a tin-can/string phone connection to the building opposite?

Maybe he's watching a video thing?

I have avoided posting on this thread, but can't stand it anymore.

Dude in my office is a trainwreck of a coworker.

We are attorneys. Ergo, our job includes some petty annoyances which you really just need to get over. These can include demolition of your social plans on a semi-regular basis, lack of regard for your social life by coworkers or superiors, long hours, lack of predictability of schedule.

In other words, you need to be flexible and willing to work to make things work.

All I hear is constant bitching about "I was planning on doing this, and this motherfucker gave me an assignment to do that! Fuck him!" or "Damnit, I had to work this weekend." or "Man, I work too hard."

And its always someone else's fault that these things have happened to him. Its never his fault at all.

All this in an office of 10 total people. Dude. People will hear you, whether they want to or not.

SHUT UP!!!!

Now, if this was his only annoying habit, it would be easier to deal with. Some people deal with things by complaining about them. But it isn't. The other stuff:

- He's an only child, and acts like it around the office by assuming that you want to hear every minute detail about whatever he has done or will be doing. In the course of discussing things at the office, I have heard about the following: his girlfriend's repeated urinary tract infections, his dog's incontinence, his mom's overuse of medical marijuana, and several other strains of conversation which are not worth going into.

- Along those same lines, he always assumes that we're going to eat lunch together. Bro, its not elementary school. Sometimes, I just want to eat in silence and stare at the wall. And not have to hear about any of the above-mentioned items.

- He constantly...CONSTANTLY...fiddles with his crotch. Dude.

- His bad breath is overwhelming. Like, by the end of the day, the hallway outside of his office smells like his halitosis.

- In general, he has this overblown sense of entitlement which I just don't get. He is rude to people, short-tempered, and treats subordinates like shit, which they hold against him. All of this seems to stem from the fact that he's an attorney.

Oh, and he overquotes movies incorrectly. All the time.

Along those same lines, he always assumes that we're going to eat lunch together. Bro, its not elementary school. Sometimes, I just want to eat in silence and stare at the wall.

Oh this. It really bugs me when people get all offended when you tell them you just want to eat alone sometimes.

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

^ this

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?
