Things about your co-workers that annoy you

Interesting that you presumed female...
I mean, you are correct, but I never said

 

I have one of those! Been working with a teammate for 5 years. They still can't say my last name! Its freakin' two syllables!
Some of my favorites:
"Suposably"
"Perifreeals"
And they chew with their mouth open. Disgusting

 

OMG "SUPPOSABLY" YES!!

And you don't hear it much anymore, but "Nookyoular" testing.

 

I had one like that. Now, to be honest, my name is a little bit more complex (it's my username, minus the first "b").

But he heard me pronounce my name MANY, many times. And yet he couldn't pronounce it himself.

 

Your name is pronounced "himself"? I wouldn't have guessed from the spelling.

 

Well, it's Polish...

Those jokes didn't arise out of thin air

 

"Libarry" um no, that's Library

 

Selecting “reply all” to an email that only needs to be seen by one person

 

Absolutely! The one that bugs me though is that I get 10 copies of every message that my boss sends out because he sends it to 10 people and they all decide that I need to know this too, never bothering to check who the original message was sent to.

 

People who raise issues at meetings that only have to do with them. There should be a term for that. Also a prison.

 

When some of my union brothers want to "axe me a question". IT'S ASK, NOT AXE!! We already do a job that people think is done by the unintelligent, don't prove them right.

 

My coworker who “could care less” about a lot of things. I haven’t corrected her b/c she’s kind of dumb and loud.

 

customer: function doesn't work on one of our computers

me: ok, let's remotely connect to the computer that's not working

me, after connecting to computer: the function works here

customer: OH! you wanted to connect to the computer that's not working?

me: /facepalm

 

Please stop asking me whether, and how much, I got paid during the last pay period.

This is what payroll/HR is for. You have a remote InterWebz login and receive Direct Deposit just like I do. This way it relieves me of responsibility for your being peeved because I made more than you did due to union seniority - even though you managed to do less for the same hours.

 

"We have a program job failure"

Which/what -- is there a name involved, perhaps an error code?

"Oh yeah, I did see an error but didn't save it"

Or remember it? Some idea, general vague possibility?

"Just fix it okay?"


One of these days.
(and they will never find the body)

 

"I got an error on each of the transactions I posted. couple hundred of them. I just hit the OK button and kept on entering. now they don't show up under the member records. will I have to re-enter all those?"

 

Fire Your IT: #∞

IT to me: yeah, my customer got a new computer, we need to reinstall your program on it

me (presuming this guy knows drive mapping & such): ok, we usually map the U drive to the shared **folder** on the server. then inside that folder is another folder, **folder2**. in that folder is the executable, just send to desktop as a shortcut. then, inside that same **folder2** is another folder and inside that one, **folder3** is a Microsoft installation file. run that and you should be able to run our program

IT: and how do I do that?

 

We have people here who insist on using the subject field as a replacement for the message body when sending email.

It's really great when it's submitted to our ticketing system, as it truncates really long subject lines. We get numerous tickets like this:

From: End User
To: Support
Subject: Ticket #1234 - Hi IT. I am offsite at a client and am having problems. I am currently experiencing issues when I t
Body: [No message]

 

this is becoming my general "tired of this sh!t" thread

me: clicks MOST RECENT
facebook: here's TOP STORIES
me: clicks MOST RECENT
facebook: here's TOP STORIES
me: clicks MOST RECENT
facebook: you're really not in any position to tell us which way we want you to view your own Timeline. here's TOP STORIES

 

annoying customer, awesome boss

call from customer: "we're dropping your program for this other one, can you call that company and hand the keys over?"
me: **taking down contact info** "I'll take care of that right away"
me: **hands contact info to boss**
boss: **crumples paper, tosses it in trash** "that's taking care of it right away"

 

Singing to whatever is on the radio.. constantly.

I have to listen to this 8 hours a day

 

My spanish co-workers are fun to be with but it's so annoying when i give them advice on friday and they forget monday. Since i can't disrespect them in front of gringos i learned how to swear in spanish so the bosses don't know what i'm saying.
