Agreed with everything here, and also adding:

When your boss rides your butt so hard that you get a phone call from a relative about your father (who has dementia) and you spend maybe 5 minutes discussing it and your boss comes up behind you when you hang up to rudely say, "Was that a personal call?" and then grunt and walk off... but yet the boss can spend 45 MINUTES talking to a friend about recipes. I hate hypocrites and power-mongerers.

Everyone here needs to see the youtube episodes of "Terrible" Terry Tate the office linebacker. I swear, I feel like him somedays. "You kill the joe, you make some 'mo!"

I swear, I honestly wish I could clothesline some people I work with!!

I hate people who come in my office to second-guess my work after it's already printed. They don't like the color scheme.... well, guess what, just because your favorite colors are purple and orange doesn't mean a thing. Until we all start working at a FedEx store instead of where we work, we're going to be using green and tan.... since those are like the colors of our freakin logo. DOH!

....or people that "talk to themselves" all day and then get offended when they ask you a question, but you didn't realize that they were talking to you.... UGH!!

SueGeer

OK...cos I'm the only woman here, I'm expected to do all the shopping for supplies.....but PLEASE tell me when we're out of something! Damned annoying when I want a cuppa & find there are no teabags, etc........I'm alone most of the day & you know the only chance I get out is at lunch.....

Also, if you take a dump, please clean up after yourself.......I'm not your bloody cleaner, so why should I clean up your *kitten*.....

I could go on & on & on..............:grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

OMG - all of these are so true!! Here is my pain, and all from the two people who are on the otherside of the cube.

Eating all day. Russling the wrappers, and not chewing with their mouth closed. How can they not hear themselves. Sometimes I mimic them when they are very loud and it annoys me. Then when they talk, they can't be bothered to wait in between bites, they talk loud with mouth full. I have ear buds in with music and can still hear them.

Also, not getting off their butts to talk to someone in an office, they yell. No consideration what so ever. These people also listen to voice mail on speaker.

One lady tries to talk low sometimes, but i call it whisper screaming. Even more annoying then her regular outdoor voice that is used almost all day. She also bangs on her desk everytime she makes a point, makes my papers jump. I asked her not to pound since it rattles everything on my desk. She says she does not do that, so now evertime she does, at least 3 times a day, i have to yell stop it.

One day we had an earthquake, and at first i thought she was pounding, but realized she was not in, and it was an earthquake.

I HATE my cubemates. They are loud, inconsiderate and rude.

While.... eh-hem... dipping your pen in some company ink... it is probably best if you don't allow yourselves to be seen arriving from a 2 hour lunch in the same car. Oh!!! And then - go in the building via separate doors - because, yeah - that fooled everyone!

*smh*

hellotina

using the last bit of any of my stuff (tape, paper clip, etc) & not replacing it!

also my comp has the time clock on it & i pisses me off when i'm in the middle of something & someone just grabs my mouse & minimizes my stuff to clock in.. so irritating! lol

timadotcom

"Taking turns buying coffee." You know what that means.

Scenario #1. I buy good coffee. When it runs out HE buys dollar store reject coffee in a 2 oz package that smells like cat pee and tastes worse.

Scenario #2. I buy good coffee. When it runs out HE buys himself a coffee on the way to work.

1. Not starting new coffee, when you notice BOTH pots are empty.



Add your own.

To add on to this..

Not restocking the kitchen supplies i.e. paper towels, sugar packets, creamer cups etc....

Also... people who are not capable of throwing their trash in the trash can that is 3 feet away from where they leave their garbage on the countertop.

Coltsman4ever

People who come in and start talking and don't realize those wires hanging out of your ears means you more than likely can't hear and by the time you get them out they've already managed to spill out half to three quarters of what they were going to say. I love the part where I get to say.... "What? I didn't hear anything you just said".

We do our own cleaning here: every employee has a "task" that we're supposed to do every Friday. I don't care if the floors don't get mopped regularly or if the boardroom doesn't get dusted, but for the love of Pete, could the people in charge of the bathrooms please, please, please do your fricking task! :grumble: You signed up for it, do it!!

As for the sadly outdated food in the fridge, myself and another coworker have taken it upon ourselves to garbage it every few weeks, container and all. If your tupperware meant anything to you, you'd have taken better care of your ****.

Also, we have a whisper-talker here. One of my coworkers has no tolerance for her and is always saying "WHAT?!" when the whisper-talker tries to talk to her. :laugh:

Meetings! For every stupid little issue that comes up.

Pre-Meetings about Future meetings and then Post meetings to "wrap up"

We must have a meeting to plan for the meeting in which we will discuss what will be cover in the meeting where we will describe the purpose of the meeting... oh and don't forget the meeting where we will decide who should attend the meeting.

This entire thread is why I have opted to now work from home!

I share a coffee area with 5 other guys. They never clean the pot or bring coffee. Last Christmas I bought 2 coffee makers. A 10 cup and a 5 cup. I labeled the 5 cup as "Decaf", so no one uses it but me. I keep it clean and now I don't have to worry about what pigs the other guys are.

Here's a little secret just between us. I don't use Decaf, but they don't know that. So I have my own clean coffeemaker and theirs looks like a science experiment after 1 year.

Year end self-assessments. Come on! Am I really going to give myself anything other than a 4 or 5 out of 5? What a waste of time.

LOL touche! I love these though and I often irritate the piss out of HR by attaching addendums and using my thesaurus to complete mine... I'm very thorough. They want to grill me in an 'assessment meeting'. HA! Grill this.... "To answer your question, Mrs. HR lady, please turn to page 5, addendum 7, section IV-B, and I quote". I leave no stone unturned and they leave me the hell alone and just give me my raise.

You're my favorite! I used to do this very same thing! First year I did it with my last director, her eyes practically popped out of her skull! I loved it! I even turned it in with a presentation folder and a ToC page for easy reference! ROFL! :laugh:

^^^^This^^^^ is why I buy the coffee and others in my office bring the creamer, sugar etc. I admit...I am a coffee snob. I like the Gevalia I bring. I am more than happy to share. You know this, I don't try to hide it, and yet you bring in whatever cheap, nasty, everyday, Always Save wannabe crap you can find. I don't drink it, I won't drink it...don't even THINK about putting it in my coffeemaker!:grumble: lol

Ignoring you when they walk by and you say Good Morning! Need I say more?

Do you work in my office? LOL

NiciS72

Constantly coming in the office after the weekend and discussing with your office buddies how drunk you all were together over the weekend. Not everyone wants to hear what an A** you all were!

That is too foul for words...:sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:

I am a teacher so...
after giving instructions the student that comes up to me and asks "What do I do?"

chauncyrenayCHANGED

Using your speaker phone for a conference call and we have to sit and listen to every stinking word even though it has nothing to do with us.

That sounds horrible!!!

KittieLea

Leaving your dirty dishes in the kitchen! Ugh I'm not the office maid!!! That's why we have disposable plates, bowls, & utensils!!

chauncyrenayCHANGED

CC'ing me on email chains that seem to last forever and have absolutely nothing to do with me!

NiciS72

Coming up to me and asking me a question without giving me the context of where the question is coming from and then making me play 20 questions to get to the root of what is being asked. WTF MAN, COMMUNICATE for once!

quigonnjae

Not getting your own stapler and "borrowing" mine.

modernsoul

The smoker in the office who thinks she's sneaking out every hour for a smoke. Every body is on to you.
