Sh*te your co-workers say

You're obese and that's fine obviously because you eat quite a bit. But please admit this fact to yourself and arrive to work with an appropriate amount of food and stop pouncing on everyone else's lunch the moment it appears. And trilling "wot you got today then?" does not make it cute and hilarious.

And while we are on topic, I am delighted that you are so comfortable with your generously proportioned figure. But there is really no need to keep telling us how much men prefer it and how it keeps your face looking young (utterly untrue). Enjoy it all yourself. You don't need us to share the experience.

The social bully. Usually a man child in his 40s with paper-thin skin who loves nothing more than to whisper to his followers about the flaws of his workmates, rip apart their character and generally be a nasty horrible pr!ck, all the while he gets people to listen to him because he is charismatic.
But when you slag off the same person, he gets all thick and moody and tries to bring the atmosphere down, I despise such people.


In most cases, such people thrive because their boss simply hasn't got the balls to tackle them or they actually like them as people and see no flaws.

When I read this post, know someone like this, to the tee. I say I suspect, but Im convinced he puts the boot into me a good bit, usually is passively hostile towards me in person although threw a few openly snarky comments at me when no one was around, but didnt hang about to give me enough time to respond, last one criticising me for something he does himself. I can only conclude he's a person that seems to look at people if they are of use or a threat to him, instead of just getting on with things, I think he cant get any use out of me, so I must just be a potential threat.
Few times Ive wanted to call him out, but decided against as I think I would come out looking bad and he's a manipulator IMO, so Id end up coming off worse as Im not inclined to knife people (even him) in the back and I am last in the door also. He'll slag people off, some get away with throwing it back his way, but others, it's like he's throwing a strop.
Have just started to tune out and not deal with nonsense and take my breaks on my own, which gets noticed, theres another guy that does his own thing too, who when I turned up on the scene always got criticised behind his back, but I think is ok. The thing is, its not the worst place I worked in but I think most people hate it and it turns a lot of them into a holes or brings it out in them.

Am I the only one on boards who doesn't work in an office?

Yes.

I had a colleague the other day talking about the Michael Jackson abuse documentary.

She said she was shocked by the talk of the abuse and she found it upsetting. Fair enough.

She then went on in all seriousness to say that she found the parts talking about blow jobs uncomfortable viewing and difficult to swallow.

She was genuinely perplexed when a gang of us just burst out laughing.

In fairness I get why she was upset....

it's a really touchy subject.

Reminds me of my friend who liked to suck the top of biros, until he was cured of the habit by sucking on one that had just left his co-workers ear

bleurg.
I had a colleague who, when offered a biscuit or cake would take his false teeth OUT and put them into a dirty hanky before eating said proffered treat. Rotten

This x 1000

Upper management(who don't even understand fully what goes on with the front line staff) who spend their day in meetings chatting ****e and not providing any productive output or coming up with changes (solutions) to problems that don't exist

So much of the meetings can be resolved by a simple email or phone call in a few minutes rather than an hour long meeting.

This ^^^^^ x 10,000

Deebles, do you work in my office?? :pac:

Colleague started in our job late last year. Nice enough person, moved back home from working in London for years. I'd say at least 4 or 5 times a day the words "Well in London, it was like this etc" come up in conversation. You would swear London was some magical place the way they talk about it.


I won't even bother mention their thoughts on Brexit... "I have a good understanding as I lived in London for many many years"

I couldn't care less on your thoughts.. Boring zzzzzz !

A lot of people do that, well when I worked in such and such...

That's not how we did it in the sex dungeon.

People look into things too deeply here hahaha
The only real annoying thing on this thread is the full of himself twat with no self awareness who has managed to etch out himself a place as someone to be admired. I saw these ***** when I was a kid working as a barman, I didn't have the wherewithal back then but theee office parties would come in and you'd see soon after these bellends on action. You'd invariably have a gang of moths around him lapping it up. Very poor personalities but confident. Pricks
I haven't worked in an office job yet but should do come September. Looking forward to encountering one of these tossers
