    I used to work with a guy on the Northside of Dublin City who would stand at the window and proclaim to the entire office which sort of plane was about to land in dublin airport, where it was coming from and what the flight number was. Jesus he was a boring individual.

    the girl next to me brings the various procedure documents related to the job and the company handbook home and reads them in the evening. she was recently awarded with a paperweight for her hard work and was going around showing it to everyone :cool:

    Does she have lots of highlighters and highlights everything?

    I like to turn it back on them...
    make up the most boring story and talk in a monotone and watch as they get a dose of their own medicine.
    Just the look in their eyes as they glaze over and they desperately try to escape but no chance you boring bastards..I had to listen to your crappy story so you'll damn well listen to mine :D

    I used to work with people in the public eye; some of them were "personalities".

    I'd much rather work with the gritter guy any day.

    Some days I set myself a challenge not to speak to anyone whatsoever.

    I'm feckin' furious when some poor unwitting gobshyte tries strike up a convo in the lift or wherever.

    I actually walk up and down 4 flights of stairs every day just to avoid stuff like this.

    Me too, all the fcukers read is Heat and the Star.

    I take to the shitters and blow a frustrated sheet of peppery shite all over the gaff to relieve the tension.

    I love it when one comes back in and says "jaysus ,some fcuker has blown his guts all over the toileh" " Behharh get dem bleedin' cleanars to sorh ih ouh wha"

    "Fcuker must have a dose whah"


    Breaks me up every time.

    Bravo, Kudos to you sir.

    Well I mean you really showed them... It is quite humorous to

    think of the cleaners doing extra work because of your antics.

    Not to mention he should have been following at on his computer screen rather than just out a window. So unprofessional.

    I work in sales, my sales manager has such poor talking skills that I'd put money on Fr. Stone to bring in more commission. 4 people in the office and no one might say a word for hours at a time. Worse than boring stories, a boring person. Gowl.

    I've worked with some awful boring, and even worse stupid and ignorant people. The people you work with make a huge difference. More often than not though I work with wánkers. :(
