Things about your co-workers that annoy you

[TheCADJockey]

The doosh is the type of guy who asks you a question. And responds to your answer with "correct"...

My boss.. everyone in the company knows (says) he "feigns work and knowledge", which is brutally true.. so.. why are you paying him so much? He gives me all the work, then when I give it back to him for sign off he just lets it sit on his desk so it looks like he's inundated with drawings to do.. when in fact it is a pile of completed prints. The bs I hear constantly though, is when he'll go ask the chief engineer something..

Boss - "So what [pokemon] should we use?"
C. Eng - "[Pikach]..."
Boss - "I was going to say [Pikachu]"
C. Eng - "Right"
Boss - "Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah..."

Just repeats the answer he was looking for and then hits whoever it is with a barrage of "yeahs" every single time. Then he'll sit there for a while again, pretending to be busy while actually booking a vacation or buying stuff on Amazon. By the time he comes to tell me what [pokemon] they want to use, I've already got the drawing completed.

I have this insane urge to dock points on your man card all of a sudden. Pokemon????

Yeah, totally should have went with Squirtle.

My 8 year old explained Pokemon to me a few years back, still not sure what it is!

I vote for a compete revocation of the man card!

 

[DrunkleJon]

I have determined that my boss is really this guy

Kinda looks like him too

I have this insane urge to dock testicles from your man-sack all of a sudden. "Man-card"???

I vote for a compete revocation of the man card!

Complete revocation of the man-sack!

If it wasn't obvious I was using Pokemon to be a humorous placeholder for something confidential or impertinent to the story, I'll replace it with something easier for you guys to understand:

Boss - "So wat [derp] should we flurp?"
C. Eng - "[Herpder]..."
Boss - "I was going to say [herpderp]!"
C. Eng - "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh"
Boss - "lolololololololz!1!!!..."

 

[1977Brewer]

You can't dock a millennial for using Pokemon as a frame of reference. It's a cultural benchmark for them, and a silly game to those who lived outside its high water mark.

So I'm taking your man-sack.

 

[Grannyknot]

The amount of time it takes for someone to tag an email with "2nd REQUEST" and copy everyone in the entire company.

One of my coworkers was ranting to everyone within earshot about the deer population being out of control. One of her friends hit a deer with her car, in the middle of downtown, in the middle of the day.

She was all, "the city HAS to do something about all these deer jumping out in front of cars in town!"

And I was all "Yeah! They should move those deer crossing signs to somewhere else, where there's less traffic."

They all just kind of looked at me funny.

Cretins.

I feel ya, man.

Even better are the times that ACAD just flat-out disappears. No error message, no warning, just.... POOF.

"Hm. Wonder when I last saved..."

Attempting to hatch an isometric cross-section I built and imported from Inventor.
As soon as my computer tries to interpret boundaries of a polyline, it's game over.
It gives up on life and locks up.

You should have just written out a petition for the relocation of the signs to prevent this problem and left it laying in the office common area. See how many people sign.

People who use their sick days like vacation, and then either don't have any left for when they are truly sick, or refuse to use them so they can take an extra 3-4 day weekend whenever they want. I'm not a germaphobe, but it sounds like an infirmary in my office.

I'll say it again, thank god for flex time and lumped together leave time. I have compared it to others who get "more" days in the separated systems, and my 25 days of leave still come out ahead when they need a freakin' note to use their sick days.

So...they might steal your left over half of a super burrito from local place....

But...they won't steal your Asian inspired beef and peppers over rice...

Heathens.

A handwritten sign that says "I spit on this" will probably stop any further food filching.

Someone at my old place of employment would regularly take a bite out of the sub sandwiches that people would put in there (You know eat half, save the rest for later type thing).

One day we left a whole one in there, but loaded up each end with my ghost pepper sauce beforehand.

Came back later and sure enough, someone had taken a big ol' bite out of one end.

It never happened again. Just wish I had gotten it on video.

Holy ****. I think that story just broke the interwebs. I'm dying over here.

I've seen a real argument for that exact thing. Stupid people.

Edit: That dude is simply not human. For a good laugh, first read the Haribo Sugar Free Gummy Bears reviews, especially the one titled "My Dinner with Andrea", and then watch this video: [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMjgaa5j_LE[/ame]

The review for "Holiday Popcorn of Death" has me purple Im laughing so hard.

Like the farmer that put the sign in his melon patch "One of these watermelons is poison". The next day he found a different sign: "Two of these watermelons are poison".

Well. Chief engineer left at noon.
That means I'll be the only one here for the last 3 hours of the day.

So the one employee I always complain about put in his two weeks last week. Very happy I won't have to deal with their poor attitude as well as field all the stupid questions - I have no problem helping coworkers who show a willingness to learn, this one did not care one bit. Good riddance! The other I complain about got in a 8:45 all but one day this week (which they arrived at 9:07) and have left between2:30(today) and 4 everyday...not sure how you can rationalize 40 hours on that time sheet. And as a reminder our work is not capable from home. Must've been a nice little Friday for them to only work 5 hours and 45 minutes!

I started googling things like "coworkers get in late and leave early" and there are tons of forum posts on it. The most surprising thing I found was that the overwhelming response from people was "mind your own business." Just shaking my head over here, poor. This is why I think European countries have it better. They work less hours and have more vacation time, yet they don't seem to be any less productive than U.S. companies
