Things about your co-workers that annoy you

[SGTSparty]

We have an over-sized meeting culture here and conference calls/WebEx's are constant. It sucks, but you learn to deal. THEN there's the guy who is on his phone (iPhone with mic headphones) in the bathroom. Every. God. Damn. Day. and not on mute. this dude is taking a leak while talking on a conference call. And no joke, its AT LEAST 3 days a week. Dude, move your conference call back 30 min or take a piss before you call in.

Your customers are my employees?

We've got three new coworkers in our office. All three I have some responsibility to train. Of the three, two of them had relevant education experience, but fresh out of school with no real-world work experience. The third has about 10 years of programming and automation experience....but we're a civil engineering company, so almost none of his work experience is relevant.

Of the three, the first two are beyond hopeless. I hadn't been in the office 30 minutes yesterday morning before the sound of one's voice made me want to scream. He will go barreling down a path on a project that he SHOULDN'T, and spend an hour doing unnecessary work, because he won't stop and ask a question. And then when he DOES ask questions, it's something that had he spent 32.5 seconds thinking about it, he could have figured out on his own. And then he wants to finish your sentence for you when you try to help him. Listen here, dumbfvck. If you "know" the answer well enough to cut me off, why the **** are you wasting my time asking me? Oh yeah....because you're wrong virtually 95% of the time. The second guy is so far over his ski tips he doesn't even recognize it - but can't answer a question to save his life. In our office, if you're one thing, it better be confident. None of this "Well.....I think....maybe...." crap. Either you know or you don't. Figure it out and quit wasting everyone's time. If he doesn't start improving soon, he won't see 6 months in our company. It is honestly to the point that if I'm in the office, 80% of my time is spent babysitting these two oxygen thieves. The third guy? The one with ZERO applicable experience? I spend less than a quarter of the time helping him than the other two. Significantly less. He asks questions when he needs to, and they're smart questions. He's getting it. He's going to be fine.

That's his way of trying to get the meetings to become one well written email.

My job is basically brewing but instead of beer I brew up a 7000gal batch of industrial chemicals! One guy I work with is basically a goofy idiot. He walks around playing air guitar and forgetting everything! I don't know how he keeps getting promotions but he fist bumps the boss all the time, it's hilarious. We have many jokes about him that he's knows and thinks are hilarious. We call him sloperator (due to his messiness)

Watching YouTube, playing air guitar and fist bumping his way to the end of the day for 60k. Lol. Place is a huge flockin joke!

Sloperator. I'm stealing that.

Working night shift rotating 12's makes me annoyed with everyone I work with, the worst thing though is that a few like to tell on all the others thinking it makes them look better. Fools!

Gotta have an understanding spouse to make it work. I get pissy all around on nights. The 4th day shift is brutal too. I don't have anyone that tells on anyone on my shift. I have a butterfly brain that can't keep his attention on anything. He keeps jumping from one Ponzi scheme to the next, all the while trying to convince us all to join up. Another is just dumb. He's been running this job since the year before I was born; 35 years. He was asking me questions about it 5.5 years ago when I had been there 6 months. Another is an a$$hole, but pretty good on the process. The last is a little slow unless it's about baseball or maps. Crazy world.

People who steal food/drink out of the fridge at work.

One of mine gnawed on my shoelace the other day

... sounds like it's time to take some Ex-Lax brownies in your lunch, and leave them for "tomorrow"...😅

 

[bleme]

I went in for lunch the other day and Boss's wife is cleaning out the fridge. I check the fridge and my lunch is GONE! I ask her about it and she tells me it stunk so she threw it away! Tupperware and all! Then, instead of any kind of apology, she tells me that I'll "just have to go eat from that infested taco truck you like!" Arrrrggghhhh! Somebody is getting stink-bombed again!

They would get an expense invoice from me for the cost of the tupperware, plus the cost of my lunch that day. It was their action that caused me to have to go buy my lunch, they can pay for it.

 

[olephart]

... the hardest part of my job is convincing myself that my supervisor's unorganized mess that he doesn't know what to do about "doesn't get to me", even though I have to "deal with it"...

I'm just as happy as a canary....in a coal mine!

 

[Zuljin]

Everyone is an expert. On everything. I really thought working with a bunch of myself would be better.

It would be better if it was yourself from different age groups like 20's, 30's, 40's...

And if one of those yous was a hot 20-something female who thought you were the best thing ever.

... the mental giants around here that remember to wipe their butts, (thank goodness), then forget to flush...

 

[gratus fermentatio]

People who don't even acknowledge your presence when you say "Good morning" to them.
Fookin' rude.

 

[TorMag]

Just came in from working from home yesterday and the bastard I share an office with move out and erased the white board. I had really important stuff on it that I can't get back because the guy who wrote it on the board left the company..............

 

[TorMag]

... the mental giants around here that remember to wipe their butts, (thank goodness), then forget to flush...

Probably did not wash their hands either.

 

[jbunton]

Hah lol we have one guy who doesn't wash his hands and has been confronted on it many times. Fricken disgusting now everything he touches is forever unclean lmao

Nothing like sitting in the stall doing your thing. Hear the guy one stall over sound like he is dying, get up wipe, flush and then just walk out the bathroom. You are like, "Wait, what? He didn't wash his hands? WTF." What's worse is you have no idea who it was. Now everyone is suspect and don't touch a thing in the office.

I was in the bathroom the other day washing my hands and I heard voices. I paused for a minute... guy in the stall (also sounded like he was dying) was talking to someone on the phone at the same time? Awkward..

Normally I try to be considerate of others in the room (Within reason. It is the bathroom. Certain...noises...are to be expected). But in the case of someone else on the phone, if I can let loose a stall-door rattling, mirror-shaking blast of flatulance, I let 'er rip. If you're going to take a call in the john, I'm going to make sure everyone on the other end knows it.

LMAO, I do the same. Make as much noise as I can.
