    I work at a 24 hour fast food joint...the most annoying thing to me is when at 3 a.m. you only have 2 employees and a manager and you get busy and no one can be found but ME. I often wonder why am I the only person working here????

    Oh I have been wanting to vent...

    My co worker has the annoying habit of walking into my office, sitting down, proceeding to talk (and talk and talk work/non-work related) and when there is nothing more for him to say he stays there. Just sits, I shuffle papers, work on my laptop and say leading remarks such as "Well better finish this up." or "Ok, great. Back to work" He still just sits there! Smiling. Like he is trying to think of a joke or something more to say. I end up closing my door just so he doesn't have an excuse to bother me.

    Sadly that doesn't stop him from knocking. I feel like he won't get the hint and I literally have to get up and go get water, go to the kitchen or hide in the restroom for him to get the point to get out of my office.

    He is one of those people with a incessant sense of odd humor however when he walks by my office and flickers the lights, brings in old tumbleweeds and hangs them from my ceiling..

    He is also very passive aggressive and that can cause other issues but alas I will only gripe about the irritating evacuation process I have to perform each time he stops in.

    Kind of sounds like he might have a crush imho

    I work in the construction industry, but am a Project Manager in the OFFICE. This IS a male dominated industry, with a very small female to male ratio, HOWEVER, I do NOT need to see all the men in my office constantly adjusting/scratching their manparts!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm new to my job and sit so far away from everyone that it's lonely! But the one thing that i find odd is that they cut through this little room that saves them at most 3 WHOLE STEPS...Lazy!

    The man who wears so much cologne that I can smell him 6 offices away from mine. Thankfully he travels a lot, but you don't even have to see him to know if he is in the office.

    Mrs. Secretary : talks very loudly (on the phone, and to everyone in person).. very unprofessional in tone and in her facial expression.

    Ms. EA : Talks too much on her phone .. literally ALL DAY.. and is always complaining of getting paid too little (she is totally NOT)

    2nd Ms. EA : wears tight fitted skimpy outfits ALL YEAR LONG.. she had liposuction and breast augmentation 2 years ago, when she returned to work her boobs and butt were A LOT bigger than when she left. Talk of the town!

    cube lady 2 seats behind me, talks so loud with her headset that I can barely hear the person on the other end of my phone call or even myself think, yet we know she can talk quieter because she does on personal calls.

    the receptionist who sings.. all day long..humming, singing.. drives me crazy LOL

    he doesnt travel tho... he roams the office sometimes and the cologne just carries around the aisles and is so potent it gives us headaches! lol

    We have a unisex bathroom and there are only two men in the office.

    Since man B started working here recently, there have been puddles (and i mean BIG puddles) of piss in front of the toilet, and the seat is always up....

    REALLY... would you like me to get your some targets to aim for??

    LMAO I've heard cheerios work for potty training.

    Put a bowl of cheerios on the back of the toilet with a sign saying, "Use these 'Cheerio ships' to improve you aim". I did this in one place I worked. No one ever found out who did it, but there were no more puddles on the floor or dribbles on the seat. :)

    How has no one said clipping fingernails?! Dear god. Doucher across the way clips his f*ckin' nails every other day. I don't get it. Do that ish in the privacy of your own home. Or the bathroom at the very least. F*cking disgusting.

    ^^^^ same here.. really how long does a person's fingernails grow... And who thinks to them self.. Hmm I should bring a clipper's to work so I can just sit at my desk and do verse's at home...

    I agree disgusting! :grumble:

    Oh my...I have this problem at the gym. I'm sitting there busting my *kitten* and sweating and panting and then I get a HUGE WHIFF of F***ing axe or whatever you're wearing. BARF.

    There's a woman here that's rather large and she smells SO BAD that I literally gag when she walks by. One of my other friends is at least as big as she is, but she doesn't smell at all! One time I was in a bathroom stall when Stinky went into the one next to me. I couldn't get that stink out of my nose for at least an hour!

    Then there's the *kitten* that talks SO LOUD when he's on the phone.

    My work partner, whom I actually do like quite a bit, always uses the phrase, "...and stuff...." as a filler. "We got a request to do a label for Canada....and stuff....but we didn't know..."

    Yup, the people that I would have to deal with at work remind me to relax and enjoy my time away from my job. My job is seasonal so I'm taking some time for myself right now. i do work some shifts with a medical agency though :) I have worked in many hospitals and that is why I am now in the culinary field. No more stress, I basically work alone in the kitchen just doing my own thing. But I know this coming season we will have new people working with us.... I hate having to get used to knew people. Learn their habits and their personalities, and hope that they can do their job right..... it's gonna be an interesting experience.
