The guy who sits next to me who doesn't wash his hands after using the can.... and I mean after taking a leak or DUMP :eek:

Just f-ing disgusting!!!
 
Pretty sure wearing headphones is an int'l sign that I'm busy but some colleagues like to walk over and have an entire conversation. At some point, to not appear to be a ****** I have to remove them, say 'uhuh' a few times then indicate that I 'really need to finish this'.
 
For those who didn't read occupation thread, I am a professional truck driver. Tractor trailer, big rig, 18 wheeler, call it what you will. What annoys me is when other drivers are too lazy to hang up the airlines and electrical connector after unhooking a trailer. I counted today it took 15 seconds to do it all. End result: Air lines covered in slush, snow and ice miserable to handle. Then after the lines may not hook up to the next trailer, or they're blocked and don't pass air at all. Depending on which line is blocked it means you can't take your parking brake off, or you don't have trailer brakes when rolling. Both very bad.

I guess the amount you care about that depends on what they look like. Maybe not. Still nasty either way.

In the interest of not turning this thread into something terrible can we include "Poor hygienic practices" and move on?

I'll add the coworker from today - the weasel. Always has the suggestions, the plan, the answer, but never to be found when it's all put into action.
 
I work in a restaurant as a shift leader and server/cook and I constantly hear servers complain about guests asking for too much (example: jellies, napkins and condiments) ITS YOUR JOB TO SERVE.
 
You've heard of the study that you can't predict when I cow will lay down based upon how long it has been standing. But when a cow lays down, you can predict how long until it stands up.

My works corrillary: You can't predict when a policy decision will be made. But as soon as a policy decision is made, the likelihood it will be reversed increases with time.

That's still slightly better than avoiding any part of the decision-making process, then showing up to take the credit for whatever is done.
 
Sometimes I wish I had a co-worker. No wonder why I have so many posts here.

I used to think that, then I got one. Arrogant, small, petty, rude, and refuses to even attempt to cover his mouth when coughing up lung butter. Nut job will be half way through a sentence, cough AT you, then add that I should thank him for strengthening my immune system. Maybe but my blood pressure keeps getting higher...

Someone would do that to me ONCE.

The second time would require a trip to the dentist to reinstall their teeth.

Please tell us you are joking, and you are talking about you 2 year old kid or something - because that is exactly what you described, a 2 year old!
 
biggest complaint I have is I am not allowed to go postal on them without getting arrested
 
Don't go postal, go costal

Once I was going to tell him my 3 year old had learned to cover her mouth. But though better of it. Numb nuts is apparently important to someone high up.
 
Ask a question, get a nothing answer...

Call their extension and get voicemail .... every time.

They screw up... you have to fix their mess.

Ask a question... 2 days later, ask the same question again (without response... again)... 1 day later ask the same question again (without response)... 1 week later ask the same question AGAIN (without response).... etc... etc...

I have a huge list.
 
Or you ask a question that only requires a yes or no response and get an explanation of what has/is happening with out answering the question.

I have been known to point blank ask why they are here or if they even listen when they fail to answer with a yes or no.

Then they explain why they were explaining instead of answering yes or no!
 
Those who mine for gold at the bottom of their yogurt cup.

Scrape, scrape, scrape, scrape, silence.
Scrape, scrape, scrape, scrape, silence.
Scrape, scrape, scrape, scrape, silence.

Ok, if you didn't get it with the first 12 scrapes, you you really need to go for 13 - 16? And scrapes 17 - 20? How much more yogurt are you getting?

That's because they're still hungry after only eating yogurt. Throw em a porkchop bone.
 
A guy at work does the same thing. Not sure how much plastic he's ingested over the years.

I never noticed the yogurt pandemic. I have an idea! The half spoon half squeegee! All the yogurt, a fraction the work, none of the noise! Patent pending.

Talk about patent pending, I had an idea years ago for a spoon with a center layer made of silicone. Rigidity plus a squeegee layer in the middle. I could be a millionaire!
