Things about your co-workers that annoy you

[slym2none]

I have a cousin in his 70's born with some kind of peach amphetamine and is developmentally disabled. Never got far in school and lacks a lot of social skills. I never worked with him but I'm told he was a damn good cowboy in his younger days. I'm sure he never made $300K a year but always had a roof over his head, enough to eat & beer money.

Best auto-correct I've seen today.

I have a co-worker who makes $300k/year and can't command the English language. He told me the other day he thinks he has a "peach amphetamine". The fact he could say amphetamine blew my mind on it's own. Speech impediment.......that's what he meant.

Best auto-correct I've seen today.

Wish I could say I was being original but the car salesman beat me to it.

 

[slym2none]

Aha!

 

[petey_c]

so, what is a, "peach amphetamine"?

 

[slym2none]

I don't know. I have a speech impediment that keeps me from even saying it.

so, what is a, "peach amphetamine"?

I'm pretty sure those are stamped pills that people take while attending raves. I could be wrong though.

 

[agrazela]

I don't know either, but I know what my next us05 beer is gonna be named.

A speed metal band from Georgia?

People who can't walk through a room without EVERY SINGLE LIGHT IN IT BEING TURNED ON. Seriously, if you require 6 fluorescent fixtures, 3 banks of 2 fixtures, 3 switches, a total of 24 tubes, each tube being about 4 ft long to see in order to walk through the room, then you need to see an eye doctor. You could turn on 1 bank of lights, but all 3? I require 1 such fixture & it's in an adjoining room with the door open; I see just fine.

People who leave the cupboard doors open. Seriously? Do you leave all your cupboard doors open at home? They also leave the electrical panels open when they turn breakers on/off. Do these people leave their car doors open or their front doors open too? While they're at it, why don't they just leave their shoes untied & their zippers down too?
Regards, GF.

I work on the third floor of a building. I often will walk from the parking lot to the elevator, and I'll see a coworker arrive a little after me. The elevator is fairly slow sometimes, so in these situations, I will usually wait, holding the elevator door open for the coworker to ride up with me and save them the wait for a full elevator cycle.

About 1/3 of the time, whoever it is says "its OK, I'll take the stairs."

So I'm trying to be courteous, and you've wasted my time (since I held the elevator for you) AND you make me feel like a lazy fat ass for taking the elevator!

I need to find some snarky comment to say in those situations.

"Good, it looks like you could use the exercise." You're welcome.

I hate when my boss comes to look over my shoulder at the drawing I'm working on, because he chews gum. With his mouth open. Smacking it. Snapping it. Blowing bubbles. Like a funking child. Two inches from my ear.

It is within you to think of courtesy and good deeds. Feel good.

I hate when my boss comes to look over my shoulder..., because he chews gum. With his mouth open. Smacking it. Snapping it. Blowing bubbles. Like a funking child. Two inches from my ear.

Wait do you work here? I can hear my boss from two doors over... I have a coworker that will tell him to leave until he's done with his gum. Kinda funny.

I am staying in a house with all the bedrooms at the back, and there is a hall-door that separates the back of the house from the front. People will be doing early morning stuff & make a lot of noise. I feel like common courtesy would get them to shut the door, but I don't expect it, so I end up shutting it myself after being woken up.

My pet peeve is, usually within 2 minutes, someone will walk to the back of the house, open the door to go through it, and then just leave it open. I will get up & shut it again, and AGAIN within 2 minutes, someone walks through it & leaves it open. I don't understand. They don't leave the door open to the house... they will shut their bedroom door... but that door? **** that door!

I have this co-worker that management just gave the better shift to but is a total sh!t bag employee. He literally goes to sleep on the clock everyday...as in his own snoring wakes him up. WHAT...THE...F...


Some might ask why did he get the better shift over me? Well, he has been with the company longer so he gets first pick. I said very clearly I understand that seniority is an important factor but so is performance. I was shot down.

doors are bull$h!t man. They take all the energy out of human interaction. Its ME coming to see YOU. ME excited to see YOU. Then this damned thing is in the way. f$%# doors man

Is it a shift he will be more visible to management? We do that when we have issues with people. After a month being under direct supervision they either quit or decide to change their habits.

Not an issues with a Co-worker, typical issues with a vendor not willing to get us the part we need on a brand new piece of equipment. For floc sake your competitor will take the part of the assembly line with out any issue and you jerks claim its the warehouse not shipping it out. I am not stupid the warehouse inventory show 12 are already back ordered!

I only call from a desk phone so I can slam it down to get the point across.

 

[cyanmonkey]

My boss' two kids work for us and have the simplest jobs in the world, but apparently can't be bothered to look from their phones or show up on time if not at all.

It wouldn't be so terrible if he would say something to them, but it's just a joke at this point. Maybe one day when they all kick their aderall dependencies they'll see/take things a little more seriously.

His brother's also a lazy ba$tard and he hardly ever comes around...


...man that's a weird situation...

 

[Baja_Brewer]

When they hit OT at lunch today and aren't coming in tomorrow.

Oh wait, that's me -and none of my coworkers ever do the same, they just won't show up, 40 hours be damned.

Hopefully this is the case b/c that is irritating as ****

I don't want to see you when I am trying to sleep. If you're coming at me that early, it better be a floccin' emergency.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

they poop at work. in the cooler/grills.

 

[Elkobrewer]

Kiss ya up front and talk sh:: out back.

 

[sablesurfer]

WOW....been so many days this has fallen off my recent threads list. (Ya'll must be so happy at work these days.)

Anyone reach a point where you have complained about a co-worker so much you feel 1) It's like beating a dead horse, 2) Nothing new would be a surprise to anyone so not even worth it

??

And would it be a surprise in any way that the nickname is "swampmonster"?

Boss and coworker. I actually had to have a talk with my other coworker because we spend so much time complaining that we starting getting angry and feeding off each other. We had to make and agreement to not talk about work so much because it was making us into negative people.

 

[GrogNerd]

wish I had coworkers, it's some of my customers I really want to slap

Yesterday, my office mate was playing some type of streaming lullaby station. Did he not realize this, or is Baa Baa Black Sheep just his jam?

About a month ago, this conversation with him happened
I was the only person in the office at the time, so I was playing music, probably pretty loudly.
He enters, and I turn down the music.

Him: Wow, I never hear you listening to music
Me: Yeah, I don't want to force everyone else to listen to my music.
Him: (Not ironically) I do it all the time.
Me: Yes, yes you do.

This just inspired me to put on my viking black metal pandora station. The office was quiet today. Too quiet. :rockin:
