Annoying things you do in work

    I've read threads on other forums where posters discuss annoying things their colleagues do. Usually I'm nodding in agreement but now and again I think 'oops, I sometimes do that'.

    My main crime is that I sometimes 'borrow' stationery from a colleague's desk without asking and forget to put it back - even-when-they-have-their-name-written-on-it-in-tippex :eek:

    I hate it when I have to actually work,

    I could write a book on slacking but i'm such a procrastinator

    I eat at my desk sometimes. Probably drives people nuts, and I try avoid loud/crunchy food...but I'd imagine people still want to hurt me in a number of different ways when I do it.

    Some real strange individual I work with sniffs my chair when I Leave the room.

    He thinks I'm unaware he does it, but I know.

    Yep. I know. ;)

    I replace the bottle on the water cooler really, really loudly. Since everybody else seems too lazy/weak/scared to do it themselves, I always end up having to change it and by god, they will hear the smashing in every corner of the office.

    By changing the water cooler bottle violently, I broke it 2 weeks ago. I didn't tell anybody though and claimed it happened on my day off.

    Also, sometimes if I'm using the photocopier and it gets jammed and I can't figure it out quickly I just p*ss off and leave it. (No, I'm not proud of that).

    I go on boards instead of being a productive worker :(

    Ass end or back end? Two very different but equally worrying sniffs

    I'm a surgeon.

    Texting. Sooooooo messy while operating.

    Chew my pens so nobody will steal them.

    Hog the shower.

    Get absolutely irrationally and hysterically irate if people dont answer their phone.

    Eat at my desk.

    Leave cups on my desk.

    Watch Tommy Tiernan on youtube and guffaw at my desk.

    Watch sad animal rescue videos on youtube and cry at my desk.

    Ignore people between the hours of 09:00 and 11:00

    Stare blankly at people who comment on the weather.

    Calls to tax office where I bark my RSI number loudly.

    People who eat food with a strong scent is one other people seem to do.

    Repulsive.

    *insert trollface image*

    There are two kinds of men in this world.

    Trying to pull the skeleton out of yourself, expelling the demon of last night's dinner, playing a game of Candy Crush and having a good cry are all best done in the company jacks. Always while on the clock.

    especially when you are sitting there feeling a bit hungry. It shouldnt be allowed, eating at your desk.

    In our place some of my colleagues seem to their arsehole half way up their back.. and only seem to use the jacks at the last possible moment when the brown trouts head has liquefied and got crushed between the cheeks of his ass and welds itself to the lid and slowly islides down the seat into the bowl..

    Hog the bathroom after work to change into my running gear.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,299 ✭✭✭✭MadsL


    Stay late as if I'm working hard, I'm probably on boards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,895 ✭✭✭✭Sand


    Eat at my desk probably - mind you a couple of others do it too and one demonstrates daily where the phrase "opened the lunch-box" came from.

    The one thing that gets me is the pissing on the toilet seat. I'm not a clean freak but its just amazing how many people can manage to dress themselves and get to work without fatal injury but don't know how to operate a toilet.

    Why be so aggressive about it? Just refuse to do it. Hate people who are aggressive like this.
