Sh*te your co-workers say

Boom_Bap

One of my co-workers just came out with the most David Brent thing and told me they couldn't kick up to their shoulder.


I had to engage and prove them wrong, how dare they question my athleticism.

I prefer the simpler type of ejit , I've a colleague who during the recent referendum wanted everyone to vote injecting rooms to be brought in for addicts and today , professed her support for the striking nurses.

Worked with a girl last year who used to greet me every morning of the summer with "Did you see love island last night?", "No", "Do you watch love island?" "No"....Every. Single. Morning.

I used to work a few hours some Saturdays, although thankfully not for over 10 years. I also like sitting alone in the canteen but didn't realise Saturdays had different rules, where everybody hangs out together.

I went for breakfast one Saturday, first person out, when all of a sudden, I'm surrounded. I knew I had to leave when the subject of the conversation turned to beans.

"The beans are really nice today, aren't they?!?" he commented, enthusiastically.
"Yeah, they're absolutely lovely!!".

Eh, they're the same baked beans from industrial-sized cans that you've been eating with your fry every morning, for years! Aaaarghhh!!!

I use to work beside a guy who every Monday without fail would turn towards gripping his stomach and say 'My bowels are in uproar' I never dared ask him why

Co-worker who works downstairs rings me up, im in tech support, we have worked together 15 years. I have one phone extension, nobody answers it but me. I have my own office. With me?

Lets say my name is John. I get a call from him downstairs, I pick up the phone and say "Hello", He replies "Hi, John?".

Of course its John, it sounds like me, its my number and you have been ringing me 15 years. WHO THE FCUK ELSE WOULD IT BE?????? :mad::mad::mad:

Managers know there is no point trying to take on stuff like that when HR won't back them up.

Mad. Makes you wonder how women who had 15 kids managed just fine years ago with no boring on or sharing scans etc. Its a side effect of how narcissistic this generation is.

Surely that can't be that bad. It's the end of the working week!

Fecking cliché saying though. Not quite as annoying as the inane business speak that management types love to use.

more of ****e my coworkers do rather than say


Work with an older woman (I'm 28) and she is in her early 50s and sits across from me.

She is the Type of person that when she stands up over the desk looking at me and asks a question expects me to drop everything I'm doing and answer or expects me to get up and come around the desk to help her with the issue on the spot.

I do help her but Nornally when I reply with I'm in the middle of something I'll have to come back to you later (because I actually am) or can it wait 10 mins , she just let's out the biggest sigh. (Which is very rude)

Other times there are people chatting in the office loudly (which I don't mind because I'll throw on headphones , let them chat away) but this woma will ask me a question (not knowing I've headphones on)

, I won't hear her and she will come around to my desk and tap me on the shoulder.

I slowly remove the headphones and look up (yes????)

Her: can you have a look at something ?

Me: I'm busy right now but I will after I finish X

Her: but it's urgent

Me: ok , let's see

* Upon seeing the query /Issues *

ITS not ****ing urgent !!

Leave me alone woman and take responsibility for your own god damn work

She struggles with making decisions or understanding processes

She is stuck in her ways and no matter what different way she has being told something doesn't change

Drains the life from me when co workers depends on someone for an answer to Everything

Rant over

e: nevermind, not worth it.

I wish some of my coworkers would just stop talking. Full stop. And start listening. Some people are totally oblivious to picking up on the mood of a room and in feeling the silence. It's as if they'll forget what they're going to say unless they keep talking. As the seanfhocal has it, Éist le fuaim na habhann agus gheobhaidh tú breac.Listen to the sound of the river and you will get a trout.

Do most Irish speakers have to look up proverbs before they repeat them? In English we just know what they are from hearing them from our parents, life experiences et cetera.

I don't know; I obviously don't know most Irish speakers. However, I do know the charter here likes to see translations, so I linked to one. Why, for one so old, do you still have this eternal chip on your shoulder and pettiness about so many things?

Temper, temper :rolleyes: I'm not the one complaining about my co-workers daring to speak around me.

This is why I have no interest in management, I'd do a Reynholm and leave by the window if I had to listen to that double-speak.

In fairness, if you would also tell them to go off to ebay to buy "rickety stools" and "ropes" when they disagree with you, it's most probable you have no coworkers at all. Stay classy. Now, try and stay on topic.

Not really a story about a co worker saying something but I worked in a place once where there was a woman who vibrated the floor.

Well she loved power walking through the office. I would have my head phones on and still I would feel the vibrations when she was walking through the office.

I don't know why she power walked like that. She had an hour glass figure, I mean one that would absolutely melt bank vaults and most of the guys would turn their head looking at her.

You know what really drove me up the wall, is sometimes I would look at her face and she would look away really quickly. Man, that's harsh darling. Really harsh. Lol.

Tits you did. You made a statement and sent us to a reference document becuase you know most of us wouldn't understand it.
