Most annoying person you worked with

Frank Murray. What a wanker, he does fcuk all and licks hole like a dehydrated dog. Management knows he's more useless than useless yet think he's a great lad but everyone else knows he's a grade A prize winning fcuktard.

Another teacher who used to undermine me all of the time in my own classroom. I think it's because I'm a young teacher but it really used to upset me. Thankfully I don't have to deal with that anymore!

Double-tap to the head?

Used to work with this absolute gobdaw who insisted on cooking frozen burgers in the microwave for his lunch. The stench

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5 · 05-04-2016 10:07PM

Oh god this one guy. It was as if he was aiming to copy the persona of some Gas Lads he'd overheard chatting outside an Esso station in Longford at some point in the early 2000s, but he didn't quite have the ability to carry it off. There were maybe twenty people working on the site per day, he'd go around and talk at everyone in turn until they stopped responding to him and then move on. Mad bantz along the lines of 'so where are you from? Sorry. No I heard you, I'm just sorry hahahahaha', and absolutely ceaseless and at the very top of his voice, you could feel the room bracing itself when he walked in.

More a type than an individual: the self styled "personality" who thinks nobody dare to challenge them and whether male or female thinks they have balls of steel. Always a negative influence, a time sink and a waste of space in any workplace I've known them.

A teacher, you say?

Mark Cordell (Alec Baldwin) buys some of Annie's artwork and then wines and dines her before she discovers he is better known as "The Teacher", Boffano's enforcer and the actual perpetrator of Riggio's murder. Mark tells Annie to persuade the jury to acquit Boffano, or she and Oliver will die.

Work with the stereotypical Civil Servant. Her hours are 9 - 5:45, but her manager works 10 - 6:45 so she will waltz in five minutes before her manager and in the evening be closing up whatever she is doing from about 5 o'clock. Spends most of the day reading emails/looking at sites online and then gets in a huff when her manager asks her to do her job. Constant tea breaks, wandering around the building looking for people to talk to. Also goes for a nap in one of the interview rooms every day during her lunch.

Doesn't go unnoticed though, she went for a promotion about a year ago and was pretty much laughed at.

The place I work now has a culture of obstructionism. There is no concept of team work, instead people actively try to prevent you from doing your job.

Ive never experienced anything like it before anywhere Ive ever worked.

Its facilitated by the company culture of communication which entails every email being addressed to everyone but no one - emails to teams with no indication of who is to take responsibility for the email - resulting in no one taking responsibility. It results in me thinking certain individuals are really annoying because they prevent me from doing my job, but really its the company culture.

This guy often asks me questions, but then argues with the answer I give him or somehow claims he knew the answer all along. Why the fcuk did you ask me the question at all?

Pretty sure i worked with that guy! The type that answers any questions directed at other people, very annoying.

My old boss was actually nuts, done more harm than good to the company. Would take you off urgent jobs to do jobs that he pretended were urgent and then when you finished them and told him he'd say "Grand that's not being collected for 2 or 3 days" whereas the one you were working on was needed that evening. Wouldn't ordered things you needed to do the job would take weeks to get stuff that should only take a couple of days.

Said that butterflies followed him, Claimed he could find water with a stick. Called laptops "labtops" . Said that Bill Gates wasn't allowed leave America because he was a criminal, He spoke about Apple and Microsoft as if they were competition, this was a small IT company that fixed computers for schools and small businesses.
Also sold hardware and parts but if anyone came in looking to buy parts he would almost chase them off telling them they didn't know what they were doing as he wanted them to buy a pc off us.

Work with a woman whos voice reverberates around the room(room is huge) and who starts talking as soon as she comes in early in the morning,she talks non stop about her dog giving every detail of every thing he does,treats him like a baby and looks after him better than I look after my children.Painful listening to the constant waffle and her batteries never run out.If I had a gun....

Also people who speak about their children constantly:mad: We are not interested ffs.

Boom_Bap · 06-04-2016 10:30AM

The f*cker that heats up fish in the microwave in the canteen in work, takes it to his desk to eat, and leaves the half he doesn't eat in the open bin beside his desk.
It smells like a trawler in the office most days.

justback83 · 06-04-2016 10:30AM

I worked with a guy once that would start waving at you from the other end of the corridor and saying hello.....every single time you met him in the corridor. At first I thought he was the friendliest guy in the world, that got old quickly. He was also a pioneer and the same age as me (late 20's) - very judgemental. He also had the most irritating laugh I've ever come across. He would break his heart laughing at something he'd said - I often noticed people turning and looking to see WTF was going on!

Also worked with a lovely man in a shared office. He used to talk his way through his emails. My favourite was when something in the email surprised him. I used to have to cover my mouth as I was afraid I was gonna explode with laughter

2rkehij30qtza5 · 06-04-2016 10:32AM

Two people:
1. A woman in my first job who was supposed to line manage me. She was probably 5 years older than me. She disliked me from the moment I started and was nothing but rude to me. One work night out she said to me, "I don't like you because I am afraid that the guys in the office will fancy you and they are 'my boys'". I was gobsmacked. I had a boyfriend at the time, was not in any way flirtatious with any member of staff. She was just horrible to me though. When I'd finish a project and go to her and say, "I've that done now", her reply would be "so?" and she'd leave me for days then without any work to do. It was awful. Needless to say I left that place in less than a year to move onwards to much better things!

2. A guy I worked with (still kind of work with but he's in a different department now thankfully) who would continuously tell me about his escapades with prostitutes and how he'd have to get STD tests etc. Total weirdo. He also told me how he is planning for Armageddon and has his utility presses stacked full of tinned goods. He also told me how he was cautioned by the Gardai for stalking a woman. Very strange individual. Thankfully everyone could see this and he became the subject of many a conversation due to weird things he would say or do to people in the office.

Corvo · 06-04-2016 10:52AM

Can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet, but anyone that works in an office will have come across them.

The perpetually cold person who insists on having the air con on.

I swear to fook, I will go Columbine on their asses one of these days. One girl sits there with a huge scarf on, with a hot water bottle on her lap and constantly going round saying "oh my god its freezing".

No its not, its 20 degrees in here. And the boss always sympathises with the women. Put on an extra jumper ffs. Nearly every man in the office wear just a shirt and tie. We can't remove any further clothing.

Drives me bat****.

The perpetually hot person is equally annoying. We have a guy who takes no exercise at all and periodically decides to organise a game of footy at lunchtime. As he is so unfit, he comes back after running about for 45 minutes roasting and it takes him well over an hour to cool down so the rest of us are subjected to the open window and running a fan etc...

Wtf is it with the people who bring fish to work? We have a guy who brings fish and leaves it uncovered on a plate in the communal fridge, the smell contaminates other things left in the fridge, and he will eat bits off the plate for days (I dont know how he hasnt poisoned himself because of his lack of food hygiene).

Why not leave a note in the fridge in work saying something along the lines of "Please ensure fish stored in the fridge is stored appropriately so as not to have the smell contaminate other food stored in the fridge"

Im not passive aggressive so I have said it to the person directly that their food storing is (a) unhygienic and (b) the smell is contaminating other food but he looked at me incredulously and said that I must be some kind of overly clean weirdo about food.

He just doesnt see a problem. Same guy leaves a trail of crumbs and butter on counters, would never think to wash a mug or clean up after himself. Everyone is aware that he has dirty kitchen practices but no matter how often its said to him, he still leaves a dirty mess.

He also likes to leave rotting fruit/veg in the fridge, uncovered of course while he works round the rotted bits over a few days.

There's a woman who works alongside me (we'll refer to her as X) who constantly disagrees with everything anyone says or has the opposite opinion of everyone else. Obviously it's fine to have your own opinion but she is a stage 10 moaner at all points of the working day and we reckon she just deliberately disagrees so that she has something else to moan about.. It's soul destroying at times which is why we don't include her in convos anymore but she just butts in with her opposite opinion anyways. Examples:-

Me to Y colleague:- "Made the loveliest curry last night".. X butts in, "Ohh I wouldn't be a fan of curry".

Me to Y colleague:- "Gosh, wrecked today. Hadn't a great sleep last night".. X butts in, "Surprisingly, I had a great sleep last night" and continues to tell us about her sleeping pattern for the past fortnight..

Me to Y girl colleague coming in in the morning in 0 degree weather- "It's freezing out there!".. X butts in, "I actually found it pretty warm"..

Me to Y colleague:-.. "Oh I got great value on chicken fillets in Super Valu the other day".. X butts in, "I just wouldn't be a fan of doing a shop in Super Valu. I prefer Lidl".. But yet, a week later she'll be yapping on about the great deals that were in Super Valu at the weekend.

Her biggest annoyance is over food. Obviously, it's fine to have opinions about different foods but a lot of us in work are big foodies, always testing new recipes and sharing them and I mean EVERYTHING you mention she has an opinion on- "Oh wouldn't be a big fan of that" or "My husband wouldn't eat that you see so I'd never bother making it". I genuinely wonder what she does eat. A while back she was going on a big mope about how she doesn't eat bread, it doesn't agree with her etc. which is fine but last week she claimed to have a stomach ache and was helping herself to a big mountain of toast at break claiming, "it's the only thing I can eat when the stomach isn't great"...... *face palm*

armaghlad · 06-04-2016 11:56AM

A guy in my old place used to fart openly in the office (not in front of management of course). Nothing worse when you're eating at your desk and your man opposite you thinks it's funny to shout "here Emma, catch!" and drop one across the office.

maudgonner · 06-04-2016 12:05PM

I worked with a lad that would act absolutely terrified when you asked him to do the simplest of things.

'John, would you rename that file?' might as well have been 'John, would you mind shooting that guy over there in the head for me?'.

He'd look like a rabbit caught in the headlights, eyes darting everywhere except at you, mouth flapping open like a goldfish. It's not that he didn't know how to do things, or had a lack of confidence, that was just his reaction to everything.

'John, could you close the door?' equaled 'John, could you sort Syria out, I need it done by lunchtime', judging by his reaction.

I eventually started putting all requests in an email.

Suckler · 06-04-2016 12:09PM

Me: "went for a hike at the weekend, only took few hours, quite nice"
Aussie jackass: "Climbed a mountain, blizzard conditions, nearly died"

Me: "Went fishing, caught two trout, good size, let them go"
Aussie Jackass: "Mate, caught a great white before"

Me: "Went for a cycle yesterday"
Aussie Jackass: "I was ready to enter the Tour de France, but then this job in design came along, mega bucks so.."

The lies and blatant one-up-manship from this clown was beyond immature. Nauseating stuff. Everything is bigger and better in Auz of course.

Edit: He was also one for wearing shades indoors.
