Disgusting Co-Workers

jiminho

So every so often I hear a "click......click" noise coming from the other side of my cubicle wall. It's a co-worker clipping his finger nails. The noise, to put it lightly, is irksome. We're friendly with each other but we're not friends and he's been at the company for considerably longer than I have so up to this point I've kept quiet. Anyway, today he was clipping away during our lunch hour while I was catching up on some work and eating some food. You can see what's coming next. One clip and a nail comes over the cubicle wall and lands in my bowl of chicken noodle soup. Of course, I got a good look at it floating on the surface before it sank to the bottom. I was speechless. The b***erd didn't even notice :mad:

While we're on the subject, there's also a girl in my office who frequently walks around the office bare foot. The boss has never said anything and we actually had a meet a greet with a client one time who pointed it out to us.

I......JUST.......DON'T........UNDERSTAND

If this is the worst thing in your life, then things are not to bad

As long as they aint pooping or masturbating in front of you, not much would bother me

Sir Arthur Daley

That click click noise could be your co worker masturbating.

Don't you have a canteen?

Of course he did, who throws out noodles these days? He just fished out the nail probably, or maybe left it there and ate around it

Around it? I used to know a girl who ate her own toenail clippings.

Sir Arthur Daley

Is a nail clipping more dense than chicken noodle soup?

Well with that I think it should be back to the original point of the thread, if I can remember it. Who was the most annoying co-worker you have ever dealt with?. My one was a manager who used to hold entire conversations with himself. Very distracting.

This was my initial thought too.

After much searching, it appears the average density of a human nail is 4.5 gm/cm^3. As the density of water is 1gm/cm^3, it appears the nail should indeed sink.

However, is the OP eating the watery chicken noodle soup or the thick stuff? Can you please clarify OP so we can confirm the validity of your story? If you could measure the density of your soup, that'd be great.

After a quick mass over volume calculation I have determined that the density of the soup was 1.5gm/cm^3. So not quite watery but.........jaysus people make you work too hard to start threads. Good day

Well did you say it to him, that he ruined your lunch? Or did you just fume quietly?

Is the girl hot?

Does your office have any health and safety rules about eating at your desk or eating hot food at your desk?

Zulu

Yeah used to work with someone who perused porn daily. Was generally followed with a hand down the pants, and a large "shuffle" - fixing himself.
Report it.
They didn't get fired; they got a severe letting off.

Guess where I used to work. I'll give you a clue: "job for life".

OP, Why would you think for second that eating hot chicken noodle soup in an office environment is considered OK? Trust me, what you were doing usually tops peoples "disgusting co-workers" lists!!

Tell yer man to stop doing his nails in the office, simples!!

snaphook

I recently moved desks next to a co-worker who eats lunch at his desk.
Fork and knife scraping the plate kind of deal.

But it's the lip smacking and food slurping that will make me throttle him shortly.

whisky_galore

Boss cracking his knuckles and putting his feet on his desk, hate that.

kylith

In a place I used to work a guy was fired for watching porn in his office, which was on the ground floor, where clients often passed by, and was made of glass.

I've also encountered people wiping their snots onto the walls in the toilet. WTF like? there's a roll of paper right there that you could use and then flush, but no, some grown adults have to wipe it on the wall for the rest of us to dry retch over.

I'm picturing a cute Isla Fisher-esque redhead with big boobs and a short skirt. Nice one you have going their OP.

Yup, eating at the desk and stinking up the office is pretty high up there.
Especially anything with fish, onions or salami....

well he kept it in the pants (hence no criminal prosecution) but no one would go near desk. It support shuddered when he called them. It was an open joke. I still can't get over he wasn't fired.

For some reason I've got this sudden urge to go to Langkawi, the Malaysian restaurant in upper Baggot Street in Dublin, and order me an Asam Laksa...

Clipping noises I understand, but can someone explain to me what is wrong with walking around barefoot?

preston johnny

Leave a tube of no more nails on his desk, or just insert it up his hole

Apparently there's a fair amount of people around that just don't like how feet look, that or they're Podophobic.

People eating food at their desk is annoying, go away and eat in a canteen. The sound/stink of people eating all sorts of stuff is awful

Disgraceful. He is probably a PO now (I guess from your earlier post that he was a civil servant!) with his own office for wánking in...

Feet are smelly and horrible. Now if we were to bring in an office slipper policy I think everyone would be happier. And comfier.

Tsar Chasim

The office I'm in is generally referred to as 'the wild west' of the company. Its disgusting to work in.... one guy is an alco bachelor who washes about once a month. Sometimes the smell gets so bad that the BO, feet and his septic sores mix into one major pong and it leaves a trail around the building as he walks. I have a strong stomach, but I've nearly heaved once or twice.

Whenever a complaint is lodged, we all get hauled into a small office and told to wash as if its a collective issue. The offender usually raises his arm and sniffs each pit while the rest of the team try our best not to vom. This is just one of the disgusting things in this kip!

Another is girl with BO and hairy pits. And a guy that blows snot rockets onto the wall at the urinals no matter who's beside him.

Noticed that, did ye...? Ye durty fecker ye....I'd say you want to fire the load on her toes, don't ye....

LETHAL LADY

Well I'm only going to go on my last job as there has always been one filthy fecker in every job I've had. The woman I'm referring to used to rummage around her nostrils while talking to me. Not a bother on her chatting away to me and having a good auld root. She didn't even recognise my flinches.
