What things do your colleagues do in work that drive you crazy?

1. A lad in my place cooks 3 day old fish in the microwave everyday for his lunch and the smell makes me feel sick!

2. another lad gets up from his desk every 10 mins to make coffee and then acts like a meerkat when somebody comes in through the door of the office!

3. One guy I hate insists on coming over and having the same conversation he has had with me the day before, he won't take a hint and fuck off.

4. My boss's footsteps are in stealth mode, I can never hear the her coming when I'm on the internet (even whilst writing this!)

5. People keep fucking with the air con!

You're not a team player.

hybridmouse · 10-11-2010 12:05PM

Loud popping and chewing of gum or belching in a quiet office. Gah! Nasty!

Sykk · 10-11-2010 12:05PM

Jabber on the phone to her friends about.. How like awesome that.. Like night.. like was. Like totally cool, but she can't like believe how like he didn't text her back like.. (MAYBE BECAUSE YOU'RE A BITCH EH?)

"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"

You shouldn't take that, tell them to shove their job sure you can walk right into another one........oh wait scratch that.

Another guy keeps buying stupid sh1t on ebay and getting it delivered to his desk in work and then bragging about how great it is (mostly dumb ass movies and memorabilia)

gent9662 · 10-11-2010 12:11PM

oh...another one...

Two lads in work sit within 3 seats of each other but they always ring each others extension when they need to talk!

mikemac · 10-11-2010 12:11PM

Take credit for my work in meetings :mad:

As for my boss?
Going forward feelingstressed you need to touch base with me first so organize some facetime with me before COB after my power lunch

He thinks he sounds smart.....

alexa5x5 · 10-11-2010 12:13PM

I work with a guy that is our very own David Brent (The Office). He tells the most inappropriate stories, I think mainly because he’s a 40ish bachelor that has either never gotten it or hasn’t in a very long time. He makes very women feel so uncomfortable, it’s gotten so bad that when he comes over to our table for lunch most of the women leave.
Ugh he makes my skin crawl just thinking about him.

Getting there · 10-11-2010 12:14PM

Loud constant sniffing....over and over

JUST BLOW YOURNOSE ALREADY!

I have a female boss like that - but she is married with kids??? go figure...
Skin already crawling - thanks for the reminder...

Um, talking sports non-stop and the weather:mad:

medici · 10-11-2010 12:17PM

Colleagues telling me to "go home", "get out of here", "you're not getting over-time for that you know" as they pass by at exactly 5pm on the way out the door...knowing - KNOWING that the job I've got to do is a big one that'll take another hour or two to complete.....

It might sound like friendly banter - and probably intended to be as well - but damn it can get irritating....!

gent9662 · 10-11-2010 12:18PM

I hate people saying..."That should only take you an hour to do"

Brendog · 10-11-2010 12:19PM

when the guy in the desk next to me becomes a drummer and uses pens to to hit anything nearby......

Uriel. · 10-11-2010 12:21PM

What do people in work do that annoys me....

Turn Up!

Only one thing for it- create a game of Bull**** Bingo for you and your co-workers in the office:

make up a few bingo cards with all of these God-awful "morkeshing" speak words, distribute, tick off the phrases as the boss utters them (just don't jump up and roar BINGO in his face if you win)

It's a great way to pass a slow day and get a bit of camaraderie going in the office. I've played it at achingly awful sales meetings, only thing that keeps me sane!

As for me, well I mostly work from home and sometimes I would be glad of a few annoying colleagues to give me something to bitch about :rolleyes:

FatherLen · 10-11-2010 12:25PM

the part timers in my place take the metro home from the canteen after their lunch and my lunch is after theirs so when i go to relax and read the paper........there is none!!!!

i like to read when i eat

is that too much to ask?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Also - just thought of this - the complete opposite scenarios:

When someone else is staying late and if you're rushing out the door on the dot of 5pm....and as you pass them they say something like:

"Leaving already...?

"The bit of time off is grand isn't it...?"

etc etc etc...

LandoCalrissian · 10-11-2010 12:36PM

Well so far today. . . .

1. Someone keeps leaving the doors open on the corridor down to the stores and the place is fcukin freezin

2. Hey d1ckheads when you finish the coffee let them know more needs to be ordered.

Point 2 is probably the reason why Point 1 is annoying me so much aint had my daily fix

FatherLen · 10-11-2010 12:39PM

aaaaaaand when people put the wet spoon into the sugar after it was in tea or coffee and you get lettle clumps of brown sugar in the bag. that one keeps me awake at night. :mad:

jackiebaron · 10-11-2010 12:40PM

As I'm walking out the door at the stroke of 5pm the manager says "You're leaving?". I say "Uh-huh, it's 5 o'clock, why?". He says "Everyone else is staying later." I say "They're staying later because they're incompetent. They can't get 8 hours work done in 8 hours" and leave him there stammering as I stroll to the whiskey house.

Fcuking Penis-heads.

mikemac · 10-11-2010 12:40PM

I like a treat on Fridays, might get something from Marks and Spencer's and a smoothie too.

Sit in the canteen and await the comments
"M&S, oh li di da you must be on big money. Get a bonus this year? Can I do your job?"

Leave me alone!
It's right up there with "no recession in your house"

Misery like company, people want to drag everyone to their own level

That's not annoying. Let's them know their place

ncmc · 10-11-2010 12:42PM

I used to work with a guy that was the loudest eater I have ever heard. And he used to chew with his mouth open. I used to shudder every time he took out a packet of crisps, I used to be able to hear him chomping even though my desk is 15ft from his and I had the radio on :mad:.

Also, when he wasn't busy (which was all the time) he used to just stare over at me. It was beyond creepy. Thank God he left (even if it wasn't his choice!)

mikemac · 10-11-2010 12:43PM

I had a mug, Notre Dame Football which I ordered from the states and cost me 15 dollars

I thought I could leave it in the canteen.
Well I was a fool :rolleyes:
It was swiped by lunchtime

My enquires are ongoing

I hold equal contempt for people who steal my food from the fridge. Even putting a sticker on it and labelling it won't save it.

homerun_homer · 10-11-2010 12:43PM

One particular woman who sits opposite me is very annoying, her crimes consist of;
Making loud sucking noises on her lollipop, more annoying when you realise she's talking to a customer on the phone. She was given out to about it so has stopped.
Listening to voicemail & dialling numbers on loudspeaker and not going to the handset until someone answers. It's her little way of saying "look I'm doing something".
Eating crap at her desk and seeing how filthy it makes her keyboard and screen. People have seen the state of herkeyboard and mouse and have gagged.

But the biggest overall annoyance I have about colleagues driving me crazy is
THEM BEING STUPID PRICKS!!

yizorselves · 10-11-2010 12:47PM

Spraying deoderant at their desk and stinking the place up.

Not saying anything if I hold a door open (this applies to colleagues I dont know)

Making an absolute mess in the toilets. There are some dirty animals out there.

People constantly saying "Aw god this day is dragging" or "its such a long day compared to yesterday" shut up ta fvck.

What things do your colleagues do in work that drive you crazy?
