Things about your co-workers that annoy you

[Kee]

There's a big bell near my desk that they ring when they make a big sale. If the bell hasn't been rung enough the owner of the company comes by and rings it. I hate that damn bell.

The standard answer to "How's it going" in my office is "living the dream!". WTF? I don't know about anybody else but none of my dreams involve sitting in a cubicle.

They are not being ironic? "Living the dream" is a common phrase where I worked (I just retired). It's sometimes good for a laugh because everyone knows what you really mean is "I hate this f***ing job".

Our helpdesk person.is rude ,loudmouthed,swears,overweight.and female

I could overlook a lot of these qualities in a coworker but female?!? Back to the kitchen with ye, wench!

 

[j1n]

Stubborn coworker. very very stubborn.

Saw she was replying to an email and she wrote "your welcome". Told her you spelled it wrong and its "you're welcome". Told me i'm wrong, tried to use google to back her self up but couldnt find anything, obviously. would never admit that she was wrong and still spells it "your welcome".

Everyone here plays "pass the buck". Makes me insane... What would you like on this drawing?
- Ask the engineer, "ask the machine shop"
- Ask the machine shop, "ask purchasing"
- Ask purchasing, "ask sales"
- Ask sales, "ask the engineer"
After the imminent full circle is complete, it goes to the bottom of the pile.

I hear you. Grammar mistakes really make me cringe: "their" vs "they're", "two" vs "to" vs "two" etc, etc... I can go on for quite a while...

vs too. Grammar mistakes used to get to me more. My wife is dyslexic, so that cured me for the most part.

The only time I'm around co-workers is at lunch. The following things drive me bananas...
1)Coffee slurpers
2)Apple crunchers
3)People that scrape the sh--- out of their little plastic yogurt container with their spoon.

#1 ... *SHIVER* If it's too hot for you, put it the funk down before I cut you with my protractor.

Sorry if I piss all of you off...

I hate the amount of cream and sugar that go into coffee...

6 creams, 6 sugars...... OMG... that's not coffee...

DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON FAKE SUGAR.

It's coffee, a brew, drink it black (at least try it black first, you MIGHT LIKE IT).

When my coworker sitting directly next to me IM's me asking about my weekend or telling me a story, etc, etc. Drives me effing crazy.

Ok so I've been guilty of this in the past... Our office was small and getting up to chit chat while I could work on other stuff allows me to be more productive.

I don't think they're being ironic but I do think that a lot of them are putting on a show. Got to look enthusiastic for the big man right?

 

[Qhrumphf]

On the one hand, I have an idiot coworker who calls me every 5 minutes. On the other hand, I have another idiot coworker who just doesn't answer the phone. And as a result paths get crossed and days get ****ed up. ******.

we have cameras w/ microphones in our WELDING SHOP. they say it's for security, but when stuff goes missing no one bothers to check the cameras. when 2 guys are BSing for a few minutes, they get called out right away. I'm probably that a-hole that everyone hates because I make my jaded opinions known loudly. :rockin:

When people can't come in because their snot-nosed bastards are sick, then they can't come in because their snot-nosed bastards passed their communicable disease to them. Then, they come in, and pass their disease to the rest of the group.

WTF people. Wash your f-ing hands occasionally. Sometimes, when drinking my morning coffee, lamenting how much I have to do because everyone is sick, I briefly think..."i'll just pretend I'm sick and get a day off"...then I don't, because I'm a healthy non-a$$hole.

 

[DrunkleJon]

When they call in sick to work because their, get this, guinea pig died. You are married with kids and a guinea pig makes you call out? Seriously?

 

[Billy-Klubb]

I'm gonna start a guinea pig retirement home.

 

[DrunkleJon]

Going to pull an Ozzy and Bite their heads off?

Funny, my dates in high school always used that excuse too.

I'm gonna sell them to coworkers and women drainbamage is interested in.

Talking about where to go to eat for lunch for 30 minutes!! You're an adult, if decisions are this hard for you to make, why the F do you work here?

She will probably leave your note in the dirty bowl with the soap next to it.

This morning my bowl is clean & in the dish drainer, the soap next to the sink; no note. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket today.
Regards, GF.

Or a new bowl. She probably licked it clean.

 

[Melana]

I have a weird thing about people using my things. Don't do it. If it were me i would have given her the bowl and bought myself another.
Yes I have issues.

And to the really nice woman that insists on yelling on a con call that she is leading... from her cube... GO FIND AN OPEN OFFICE!

 

[fsr_racer]

I'm a federal employee and we have a program that allows one person to transfer annual leave (vacation) to another to use as sick leave if they don't have enough to cover surgery, pregnancy, etc... You can't donate sick for sick. Seems like a LOT of request for donations get submitted mid-summer and this time of year, the Holiday Season. With Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up I have been getting several emails a day, EVERYDAY, from this program with a list of people who are asking for donated time.

Bad stuff happens, people get sick. It just timing of these requests that is obvious.
