Things about your co-workers that annoy you

I prefer to light a match. Redneck as hell but darn effective

Not necessary. As soon as my log starts coming out, my smell has overpowered any lingering odour that was already there.

courtesy flush

This is for all of you!

Dude, you light the match post-log. Immediately before flush (so you can get rid of the match that way as well)

 

[MaxStout]

A blast of this will cover up the funk.

ID10T: "Yes, remember they switched rooms around? Derp McDerpington is now in room X and Derpina Derp is now in room Y."

I caught the ID10T thing.... reminds me of all those "user to keyboard interface errors" our customers would experience

our support database has a drop-down list we select our customers' problem and one of the entries is "PEBCAK"

Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard

Effective, yes, but watch out for the earthshattering kaboom!

Just got up to go to the bathroom and make my morning oatmeal. The 30' of hallway smelled of rancid B.O., as did the bathroom. Then I went into the lunch-room, which reaked of the same stench. I never saw him, but his presence was clearly marked. How fricking bad do you have to smell in order to leave lingering aroma everywhere you go?

I once overheard a convo he had on the phone with a rental car company. Apparently he had been to the location to look at options to rent a car while his was being repaired. The phone conversation went something like, "So you have cars available but you won't rent them to me?!?!"...............I wonder why....

Oh man I feel for you, I hate stinky people, why dont they get a clue and just shower ?

Cheers

That's a new one for me.

On Wednesday one of my coworkers began his daily meltdown at 8:15 am. We started work at 8:00. As he is having the first of many daily tantrums, I'm thinking you have only been here 15 min. How can you possibly be that stressed out already. At some point he says, "If this keeps up I think I'm going to have a stroke" I was so close to blurting out please let me know a couple min ahead of time so I can step out of the area for a bit.

I finally just moved my stuff to another work area, and left him to piss, and moan to himself.... Now apparently I'm an a$$hole

The woman humming along to the same ten Top-40 songs every single day three feet away from me gets old real fast. Getting out of here ASAP for mostly other reasons.

 

[surlygirly]

Having to explain to a co-worker that has been in the industry for 17 yrs (and makes more money than me) that the insurance industry IS in fact regulated by the Department of Insurance (DOI) in EVERY state.

Or how about the Executive Director of Marketing that asked ' What's a whitepaper? '

Seriously?! FML.

That's the worst part. HR seems to take no responsibility for their failed hires (they seem like failed hires for the most part themselves). I just look at it as entertainment and laugh about the company wasting money. Though I get to work all day by myself.

How about when the guy in the cube across the aisle spends 15 minutes bitching about how much he has to put up with that day. He then repeats this 15-minute bitch-fest to every person who enters his cube. News flash, buddy, you have it better than everybody within earshot of you, because we all have to listen to your broken record of constant complaining.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

I thought of one: they show up.

 

[Zuljin]

Quit turning off the damn alarms! Operate the plant and you won't have so many going off all the time.

I love "no call/no shows", especially when it's the weekend and I'm on call... got woken up last night at 12:30 as he one moron failed to show up yet again for an overnight shift. Fortunately for me, the staff that was working worked a double instead of me having to come in... yippee

Pet peeve is asking them to do their job and getting attitude for it...

Seconded. I work Sunday from 3-11pm. Then come back in at 6:30 in the morning M-R. It really irks me when my relief is 30 minutes late every Sunday for the past year. One time she didnt even show up and I was the guy pulling the double. 16 hours is doable for me, anything over that is just cruel and unusual punishment. Not to mention that since I am the single, competent guy with no children I am always tapped to work on major holidays or natural disasters.

FMLA has had to have been mentioned already, this slick gov't program gives coworkers unlimted call-offs to stick mates 16 hours.

It's not unlimited time off, it's 6 weeks. However the weeks don't need to be consecutive, but the validation for time off needs to be verified by a Dr. At least in CA.

One guy at work breaks it down by the hour. I know I could have taken 12 weeks when my last was born.

What's up with people who always have poo-breath? I mean seriously - floss or something. It literally smells like there is a piece of poo in your mouth.

That, and people who don't do a good job with the TP. It's disgusting when they walk through the room and they crop-dust the place with the smell of dookie.

 

[grathan]

I am more annoyed by people who would rather smell good rather than break a sweat. People who somehow think sitting at a desk can even remotely be called work.

How about pretentious ditch-diggers? Those are annoying, too.

 

[Magic8Ball]

Thats it! I am sick and tired of working at a desk in my shorts in the AC in my house with no one to complain about. You lucky buggers have it all!
