Annoying things your colleagues do

This guy that I work with makes the weirdest hacking cough noise, it's gag-inducing. Everytime I hear it it makes my skin crawl. I hate coughing in general actually. :mad:

policarp · 07-05-2012 01:39AM

Come to work. . .

eyesquirm · 07-05-2012 01:39AM

I hate it when my colleagues actually do some work. Makes me look like a dosser.

brummytom · 07-05-2012 01:39AM

Just...exist.

I hate people. Especially working with creepy old men when I'm more or less a child. Having someone say 'call me uncle...' isn't nice, it's fucking scary.

MickySticks · 07-05-2012 01:42AM

Work with a guy who is constantly in a good mood, from 8-5 he is laughing and joking all the time and he makes the rest of us look miserable. His parents could be murdered and he would still be in a happy mood.

Fucking annoying prick.

Talking about their kids, when you are the same age as their kids.

Haha, that's crazy. Where the hell do you work, Santa's Grotto?:pac:

I hate the colleague who is totally predictable. Asks the same stupid questions every time I see him and always needs me to tell him how to work a particular machine. Never remembers it himself, I have to tell him how to do it each bloody time.:mad:

eyesquirm · 07-05-2012 01:46AM

Must also add that along with dossing, I'm constantly happy, joking and laughing from 8-5. Everyone else looks miserable.

Nothing could put me in a bad mood, even the time my parents died.

:pac:

Beggars
Birthdays, weddings, fun-runs, charities and every other cause under the sun
Take those envelopes away from me, yiz are worse then the chuggers

Busybodies
Every office has a "mother hen" type who saves birthdays to her calendar and then demands money for cakes
Yet that's "for the girls". I'm not asking for a cake for myself but I don't see why I pay for the clique of women but get nothing ever ever.

Thieves
Had a football team mug in the canteen which I specially ordered off a website. Stolen
Sometimes when working late I put my lunch in the canteen fridge. For a treat I like sushi, something nice. Also stolen

Hypocondriacs
I think these people read the newspaper and just chose the fashionable disease of the day. One girl was convinced she had swine flu

Da management.
Do you play baseball? Well why do you phone people to "touch base"??
Oh I could write fifty lines here with the management speak bull**** the boss comes out with

Practical jokes are funny sometimes.

But not all the time. . .

Mickey H · 07-05-2012 01:51AM

Fapping.

It's distracting.

Its just me and the old man at the moment but last year we had an apprentice who had a habit of asking asinine questions. For instance on one occasion he asked me the difference between civil and common law. A kid with a law degree should't have to ask such an ignorant question.

Sorry if this is an asinine question but what's an asinine question?

One nut job I work with can't go more than 2 months without being sick. If she is reprimanded, she calls in sick for several weeks with "back" problems. It's amazing how co-incidental it always is to someone telling her how not to do her job. She's fully briefed of how far she can push it with absences before getting a disciplinary. Getting stuck with someone like her would be my worst nightmare if I were an employer or business owner.

A question that a man of his supposed qualifications should be easily able to answer himself.

Jacster · 07-05-2012 02:46AM

The perennial asskisser. The one who makes a big deal out of doing the simplest of things just for the look at me, look at what I can do attention.

The hands on hips eye rolling oh me oh my I have so much to do type, the kind that spend more time talking about the work they have to do then actually doing it.

The fakers who are all smiles and false niceties to your face only to rip the crap out of you behind your back when you walk away.

I could go on...........and on

cocoshovel · 07-05-2012 03:07AM

Fat f*cks who moan and complain about every task they have to do, and then dont bother their arse/do a half assed job.

sligoface · 07-05-2012 03:24AM

This is even worse when they're looking at you while talking in their native language. You're always wondering if they're talking about you. They could be, but who are you to know.

Solution: Talk Irish to your Irish colleagues.

Ha, well if they're looking at you when they're talking you can be sure its you they're talking about!
Couple of South African lads where I work do the same, incredibly ignorant and rude, especially since Afrikaans isnt even their first language, they're deliberately being sneaky.

As for talking Irish, well I think it would just be awkward and embarrassing, can hardly strings two words of it together myself, think most people are the same.

_AVALANCHE_ · 07-05-2012 06:01AM

Call each other colleagues

stoneill · 07-05-2012 06:07AM

Always posting "Please Help with Me" hoping to make a few bob - the féckers.

OneArt · 07-05-2012 06:52AM

My boss is always at me to "increase my production rate". Drives me spare.

I've been having a few arguments with him recently.

I'm self employed so they are very strange conversations.

NothingMan · 07-05-2012 07:13AM

One guy, at random intervals will clap his hands and say "Get it done everyone" or some random phrase. I'm only a temp but he's only been here a month and I already think the other full time guy wants to kill him. 2 more weeks.

Cieszę się z 9 zegarem o aż 5 zegarem o w biurze

firedancer · 07-05-2012 07:40AM

money grabbing selfish work 'colleagues' who will sit there doing absolutely zero just to get a tenner an hour and make sure any work that is to be done is left to everyone else, even worse are the 'company man' or 'company woman' the ones who have no character left of their own, they're so long working in a factory environment, they can't think for themselves anymore...sort of institutionalised
