Things about your co-workers that annoy you

[benco]

I'm caught up!

It's not an accent or dialect. I've got the accent where people think I say bagel wrong. When I say I don't hear it, they start saying, "bagel, bagel, bagel, bagel, bagel, bagel.. hear the difference?". Exxpecially and libary coming out of an educated person is just shameful.

Our trainee says "simples".

A friend of mine says " that's got a deazzal engine in it" instead of diesel. Drives me crazy.

This. But I would even go so far as to remove the 'educated' part. If your parents can't teach you to say things properly, and someone has said something about it just one time in your life, then you need to speak it properly.
Mom says 'warsh' Mom, seriously, spell that for me. Where in the hell do you see an R in there????

*groan* growing up in VT, then moving to the South I get $h!t for that all the time. Just stopped eating them

But this is coming from middle of nowhere KY hicks. I'll sometimes blankly stare at them when they finish a sentence and am like "were those words or did you just have a stroke?"

Lol! You should hear my Texas accent. I can't go anywhere without someone saying " Where are you from."

We need to do this in audio video so we can hear who has a right to talk.

So, how do you say "bagel"?

 

[CGVT]

So, how do you say "bagel"?

Really. How can you say that "wrong"?

 

[drainbamage]

Really. How can you say that "wrong"?

I can actually think of 3 distinct ways from hearing other people:

"BAY-gle"
"Beggle" (Probably the closest to how I say it.)
"BAG-el" (That's the Cincinnati accent.)

Manager brings me into a private conference room... I'm thinking Jesus, what did I do?
I'm being assigned 50% more work, but no considerations have been made and it's not in the budget for any kind of compensatory review or bonus.
I'm taking over one persons entire job, plus continuing 50% of mine. Not even a spot bonus or consideration of a review of the possibility of an increase?

I will be updating my resume this weekend.

Anybody know of any connections in the insurance business? (Trust me, I don't love the industry, but I'm damn good at what I do)

Say Yes Sir no Sir three bags full Sir! Then give em half of what you used to do.

I had a cousin from Oklahoma who said: Bay-goh. Had me and my brothers cracking up.

 

[dkwolf]

I swear I say "bagel", but it must come out sounding like "donut"

 

[GrogNerd]

my previous dog was part beagle part basset

we called him a bagle

 

[drainbamage]

I swear I say "bagel", but it must come out sounding like "donut"

I didn't know we worked together?

 

[fuzzy2133]

You mean I have been wrong all these years calling them kosher donuts???

Dupe Post

Something that's worked for me on occasion is relaying a story about an imaginary relative with a similar annoying habit and how it's hated by all, how people say mean things about them behind their back, make excuses to avoid them, etc. Sometimes they get the hint. From time to time I also reflect on whether I am that relative.

I've found the best solution to that is to learn a second and third language and spend a lot of time communicating in those languages.

I have no idea what either of you are talking about as it pertains to my post.

 

[chisena]

I agree! Learning his co-workers language would be much easier than having to put up with the accent while the guy speak to him in a non-native tongue he learned.



:fro:

He doesn't speak a different language. He's just annoying.

IDK "submersion welding" there's sub-arc where a granular flux pours ontop ofthe weld puddle typically used to weld a butt joint in the 1G or 2G position.

Self-shielding flux-core wire (fcaw-s) is the standard electrode used for onsite welding today. Got wind...No problem. In Calif NR-232 is widely used for it's ductile properties (charpy impact). The electrical parameters for this wire are tight but when when it's dialed in the thick slag will lift off the weld bead.

Yer right about stick welding (smaw) can't make money when ya gotta stop ever 4" to 6" grab another rod knock off some slag hood down strike arc go.



Back in the day when I was a welder . . .

I took your post to mean the guy was trying to be funny or cute, not that he had an accent that made it difficult to understand him. If the first case is true, my suggestion was to tell him a story about someone with behavior that closely matched his and how they were the object of hatred and ridicule. If I was wrong and you just don't like his accent I have little sympathy for your situation. It's easier to put on slippers than to carpet the whole world.

My wife is a speech pathologist. Sadly, this form of speech has an official, recognized name, that is not only excepted by the education community of today, they specifically forbid SLP's and English teachers from teaching to "correct" it. Officially known as African American Vernacular English, or AAVE.

The only place that proper English/spelling/grammar can be "enforced" scholastically is in a spelling class, working from a published word list.

Is "Ebonics" not PC anymore?

My sister is a speech pathologist as well. Imma axe her prolly next time I see her.

 

[TheCADJockey]

So, how do you say "bagel"?

Ugh. It frustrates me, because honestly.. wtf is the big deal? Apparently I say something along the lines of begel. People that get their panties in a bunch about it always derp out and "Say baaaaaaaaaaaay... guuuuul... baygul" stfu. I guess in a city that over-pronounces long A's, my bagel A just isn't long enough.

All depends on who is saying/writing it.

The education admin folks have their heads so far up their asses that they don't seem to give two sh!ts if they are screwing over the students future career aspirations.

Wow, that is fascinating and terrifying at the same time. Then again, people are butchering the dictionary with internet slang constantly. I truly fear for the future. The world is getting dumberer fast.

OT:

I've most likely mentioned it before but this one really bothers me. People that stand in doorways and 'choke-points' at work. Do you feel you're that important that you can just stand there and shout across the office for a minute or two and make me wait? Are you completely oblivious to such blatantly ignorant acts? Get, the hell out of my way.. I'm trying to get **** done.
