Things about your co-workers that annoy you

[Zuljin]

Another filthy sink incident from lazy coworkers:



View attachment 129582



This is one hour into the day. Nobody here should be that dirty yet.

That's some bullcrap right there.

People who call other people "big guy". Stop doing this. You wouldn't say "big girl" to a lady, so STFU.

Sup, tiger? How's your day, sport?

That'll knock that off.

Would anonymously putting an air freshener, maybe a few of those hanging tree jobbies in the smelly guy's cubicle be an insult? Meaning, do you think he'd march down to HR? Maybe one could hide them really well so he couldn't easily find them. I'm thinking wedge them between desk and cubicle wall or tape under his chair?

I'm still going with soap basket.

Sometimes people above me act like work is supposed to be more important to me than spending time with my family or doing the things I enjoy doing. Increasing your demands of people, treating them worse, leaving the base pay the same, and getting rid of OT pay is not the way to convince me to work extra free hours. Actually, it convinces me to do less when I am here.

Look at me, I'm on HBT!

Are you sure it's your trashcan and not your coffee cup?

lol.........I don't drink coffee......Thank goodness!!.........

Anybody else have a guy in the office that appears to spend the first couple hours+ of the day in search of doughnuts, birthday cake, etc. Even if it is on the opposite part of the building from where he works.

Back when I was a shop supervisor you could still smoke most anywhere in the shop. Shop floor personnel were 100% responsible for proper disposal of their cigarette butts. The floor was not a acceptable place for butt disposal. Even the plant manager stripped his butts and disposed of them properly. It used to really piss me off when some schmuck from the office would throw his cigarette butts on the floor and walk off. I caught one of these idiots one day just as he was walking off, and explained to him that he could pick up his cigarette butt, The same rules apply to him as apply to shop floor folks, and my employees do not go to his work space and dispose of their cigarette butts on his floor. He made the mistake of telling me that he didn't work for me, and I couldn't tell him what to do.

A brief conversation with my superintendent, then the plant manger, then the engineering manager, and finally the ****** bag extraordinaire and he was cleaning up the all cigarette butts from the office smoking area for 2 weeks, usually while our crusty plant manager came down to my area to BS and make sure it was cleaned to his satisfaction while he smoked.

I kind of miss the old days, today we probably all would have to answer to HR for harassing a smoker

Couldn't agree more, my current job situation is like this. I worked on Christmas because it was just a "half day". I am a very business oriented person who understands business costs and operating costs. That being said anyone who works for a company that takes care of the employees often has employees who are more willing to help the company. My dad worked with a company for 25 years and was always well looked after by them for the first 15. At that point the company started to go down into slump between increased competition a decline in the economy. My dad along with many other employees took cut backs on "perks" but were fine with it because they never took a pay cut and were able to keep things going. Fast-forward to the last two years he was in the company. The company had become very profitable again but instead of adding perks for anyone they brought on newer younger employees that would work for substantially less and stopped giving annual bonuses or raises, and even tried cutting salaries after my dad left.

That is one sure fire way to make employees leave - inflation going up but not there pay so year on year they are actually making less. The only way to catch up with the inflation is to find another job that pays that days market rate for whatever skillset you have. Stupid companies!

We have one guy who can smell free food from a mile away. He comes into the admin building like a dog sniffing for a rabbit. It's pathetic.

My coworker will often punch in and then disappear for like an hour. Then he takes an hour lunch (we only get 30 minutes for lunch but its paid). When he gets back from his lunch nap he eats in his cubicle for at least 30 minutes. At that point it's almost quitting time so might as well not do anything this afternoon...

 

[Zuljin]

Free food is one thing I can't complain about. Seems we're always getting fed. Someone brings in food to share. We get the leftovers from catered lunch meetings and presentations. When one of us goes to them, we always manage to smuggle a few sandwich boxes for the rest. Contractors bring in donuts and snacks. The big chief fries spam or goes on a chicken run. The vending machine guy leaves a few bags of whatever he stocks the machine with out on the table. Just today the hot sauce fairy came by and stocked our fridge. My wife says I have a knack for finding jobs that pay me in food.

At an engineering job I had back in the '90s, the company went smoke-free. The smokers then had to huddle outside the doorway to light up. They would flick their butts everywhere, despite there being a receptacle. It was their little way of "protesting" the new policy. One day a client remarked about how crappy it looked with all the butts strewn around the entry area. This was enough to make the general mgr. livid. He rounded up all the smokers in the company (about a dozen or so), handed them each a paper cup and told them to go outside and clean every single butt off the ground. The rest of us were invited to take a break and observe our Adopt-A-Sidewalk crew at work.

After that humiliation, we didn't see too many cigarette butts on the ground.

Had one of those too, though she just left. We would set food out in our office, or candy in a candy dish or someone would bring lunch to their desk and sure enough within a few minutes your would hear "Ooooohhhhh, whats that? Who brought that? Can I have some?" It became a office joke, even after she left.

In the bathroom stalls the janitor leaves disinfectant aerosol spray. People come in next to you and act like they're fighting the plague unleashing a 2 minute blast on the seat before they're willing to sit.

This guy next to me thinks his desk is a drum set. All day long, constantly tapping on his desk to whatever song it is he's trying to mimic. He'll stop for a few minutes then start back up. Freaking annoying.

I would put thumb tacks on his desk. No sh!t I would

Giving me incorrect information and then getting mad at me when the result I give you is incorrect.

I work as a sys admin and am responsible for our print servers. Printer moves or gets added I create a print queue on a server and then forward the details back to whomever is installing the printer with the name and IP address of the printer. Our names are based on printer location (office number/building).

A ticket was submitted for a printer. I created the queue based on the room number they gave me TWICE in the ticket and ONCE in a document attached to the ticket. 5 minutes after creating the queue I get a response:

ID10T: "Why is printer listed in room X, shouldn't it be Y since printer is actually in room Y?"

Me: "Is it in fact in room Y since everything else in the ticket points to room X?"

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

Me: "Of course I remember this information that you never told me... Name of queue changed and please punch yourself in the face!" (I wish I could have said that)

Yeah, I find the uptight IT guy at work annoying too.

You can only handle so much idiocy....

Derpina Derp...she sounds hot.

 

[Hopper5000]

There's a guy in the cubicle next to me right now who is listening to a webinar that has nothing to do with me and I can hear everything. He keeps audibly complaining about it. Same guy listens to music all day with headphones... maybe he could just plug the into the computer?

Hmmm. Better call IT.

I made the mistake of telling people I was selling my house.

Now every person I see asks me:
"Did you sell your house yet?"

I get it. You care. But seriously, STFU.

They already know its a brewery.

At least now I don't hear "so when are you bringing us in some more beer to try?" anymore. Yeah, bringing you free beer so you can keep my bottles and not even bother to say thanks is really high on my list of priorities.

"Still waiting for those empties to come back." was my go-to response. Arseholes.

I get this a lot too. I mostly just exchange with the other couple of people in my office who brew. The one guy I gave some stuff to on his last day before leaving for another job. He half-joked at his going-away lunch within earshot of several other people, "I should've put your beer in the fridge so I could be drinking it right now."

Then I had to endure the "c'mon man, why didn't I get any beer?" from everyone else who heard. Well, for one I know for a fact you only drink Bud Light, and two, if I brought some for everyone in the office, I wouldn't get to enjoy my own handiwork. At least if I give beer to him, I get some of his in return.

Sounds like you need to start kegging.

 

[Melana]

Deodorant. Wear it. I hate being my own boss.

Agreed! If you think you might have missed it? Put it on again. Use extra if you have to, PLEASE!

 

[paulster2626]

Sounds like you need to start kegging.

Why choose when I can do both?

I like my kegs, and I like my bottles too. Makes it easy to grab a few beers and run out the door.

 

[Whsoj]

People who think that turning the fan on only while your in the bathroom and spray a little Lysol works.

Sorry but the air change rate for a fracking $20 Wal-mart fart fan is not that high, it just smells like sh!t and Lysol. Leave the freaking thing on and crack the door for flow through! I'll write a memo don't mess with me!

And wash your hands your a grown man!

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