Dear annoying co-worker!

Moofey2

What is your co-worker doing that makes you wonder about their sanity or hygiene. Maybe something that is annoying?

RANT AWAY!

(My mini question/rant)

Dear annoying co-worker,

You have been wearing the same shirt and the same camo shorts for 2 months now, I know because my cubical partner keeps track. I do not want to come across as an a**hat but you work with your mom and she drives you to work... Shouldn't she say something at least? I mean I understand people don't have alot of money but... You can at least have one other change of clothes right? And please for the love of God TAKE A SHOWER... PLEASE.

Anyone else notice people like this or is it just me?

The bloke I sat next to at my old workplace was constantly on the phone to his wife - she couldn't go 15 mins without ringing him and he'd sit there and try to talk as quietly as possible but I could hear pretty much everything and it was normally [in a whiny voice] "Oh no, are you ok?" or "Oh no, is she ok?" [they had 2 daughters]! It go so frustrating it was like she couldn't even ring the doctors to book appointments for herself of her daughters, she had to ring him to ring the doctors, who then had to ring his wife back to check that the time they were giving him was ok with her to then ring back the doctors to confirm the time was ok! OH MY GOD MAN GROW SOME BALLS!!! To top it off he lived a 5 min walk from work, she was on the phone as he cycled up the drive way and he was on the phone 5 mins before he'd leave!

When he wasn't on the phone he was a lovely guy!

While you've got me ranting - I've only been in my new job a month and one of the other new starters I think is going to creep me out, he lurks, everytime someone moves or is having a conversation that doesn't involve him, he has to stand up and walk over and kind of join the group but not say anything, he just lurks there!

I really hate how coworkers ask me questions the minute I walk in. Like before I've actually started my shift or logged on to my computer. Worst of all it's all stuff they should either know by now or can easily look up.

I leave the building on my breaks and lunch just to avoid them.

My annoying co-worker never takes a vacation and constantly talks to herself out loud.

My secretary's text message ringtone goes off every few minutes throughout the day. She has kids, so I don't say anything as that is how they keep in touch. I just wish she'd turn the volume down as it gets annoying hearing it over and over.

One of my ex-coworkers used to moan about not being given any responsibility but when they did they mucked it up and I had to clear the debris after them. They never acknowledged they mucked things up!

Dear Co Worker,

Please please please for goodness sake, have a bath, wash your hair, visit a hair salon, wash your clothes, do not let your cat sleep, go to the toilet on your laundered clothes. Also please do not come to the ladies when I'm in there to tell me theres a call for me.

Yes I understand things can get lost in translation but, cleanliness is the same in any language dont you agree?

Thank you

On this note I actually made a rule with one particular coworker that he cannot talk to me for the first half an hour of his shift, unless I talk to him first...no I'm not kidding...and yes it has worked out great. He is just WAY TOO happy first thing in the morning and in that half an hour I can get the necessary coffee running through my veins to reply if not in friendly manner than at least courteously.

one co-worker wears loud flip flops and she sounds like a clydesdale! oh and for the record were not allowed to wear flip flops. :noway:

People who leave their phones unattended on their desks should receive some interesting new ringers or wallpapers.

Dear co-worker,

I FEEL LIKE PUTING TOOTHPASTE ON MY FIST AND BUST YOU IN THE MOUTH....:mad:

Do not talk to me... my extension is 200. Brush your throat for God sake...better yet...WAITER! ((((whistles- and waives him down))) one scope on the rocks for my friend across the room- and keep em comin!:drinker:

JessicaMurch5515

One of mine shuffles around the office in fuzzy houseshoes. That annoys me.

And another coworker begins each conversation with a very loud high pitched "GUUUUUUUUUURRRRL!!!"

"GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURL the printer is out of copy paper"

"GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURL, you want some coffee?" etc.

ahviendha

dear co-worker,

please stop telling me i'm thin as a bag of bones now, it makes me feel really uncomfortable during this weight loss process.

just cause i'm at a healthy weight doesnt make me the bag of bones!

My co-worker snacks ALL DAY LONG and smacks while he's eating. I also hear him clipping his fingernails all the time and I know he's not clipping them over the trash can so they're flying every where.

I have another annoying co-worker that has some terrible conjestion issues and is always making gross hacking noises and sneezes REALLY loud all day long. GROSS!!!

My coworker (The one that breathes without permission) does THIS &&&& plays pandora all day long, blasting it with CRAPPY music that nobody likes. Pisses me off. She also doesn't know how to change an empty toilet paper roll....

One of my co-workers listens to his voicemail on speakerphone :huh: I'm sorry, is there something wrong with your handset or headset? Our company has graciously provided both, so take your pick and USE IT!!! I don't need to hear your messages!!

poshcouture

Dear Co-worker,

No it is not sanitary to dump the coffee pots in the toilet in the Women's bathroom and then rinse them out in the bathroom sink. How hard is it to walk 1500 feet to the breakroom and WASH the pots out properly? And you wonder why I always wait to make my own pot of coffee.

KThxBi,

B.

:huh: The guy that sits next to me has a brain parasite. That just about explains ALOT. He also has an artificial heart valve and I can hear it ticking. Today he was late - and this guy normally comes in at 3am. So I called him to find out where he is and I get this long story about how he had the ****s and was on his way back home to change clothes. TMI MAN!!!!!!

DayAtATime

It would be nice if my co-worker could possibly be somewhat civil....a good morning or a good night or have a nice weekend every once in a while would be appreciated. I work in a small office and my co-worker rarely speaks unless spoken to...of course...if it is the boss or some other male, she is quite pleasant. Anyway, I have spoken to her about her attitude and she told me...I just like to mind my own business and if I am in a bad mood, I try to keep quiet and away from everyone!

Thanks for letting me rant. My husband and friends have heard more than enough rants on this subject!

I have a coworker with extreme OCD. In the morning, the rush makes him anxious so he hurries and hyperventilates for 45 minutes every day. HE whispers to himself all morning. He also has a nasty habit of "wiping down" the table 6 times in a row.

I have another coworker who is....not incompetent but pretty close. Her personal drama derails her professionally. She cries at the drop of a hat (not for me, but other people have told me this) especially when there are things going on at home. She can't keep up with everyone else so she is constantly going to the boss and complaining about everyone else. Oh....and she refuses to communicate with anyone but the boss.

Lol, nice. Maybe he has 5 or 6 of the same shirts and shorts. There is no excuse for not taking a shower everyday. Have some self respect people!

flpmomi

I have quite a few.....people who can not do their jobs properly is first and foremost. IRRITATES me to NO end!!! If you could do your're job right I wouldn't have to keep fixing it on my end!!!!

Then there is a girl who will complain about ANYTHING to ANYONE, like bit, no even likes you!!! FOH!!!!!

ilovemybuggy

oh, and if anyone missed my thread yesterday about my coworker- she likes to come to work sick too even though she has MULTIPLE SICK DAYS left that she can use. And likes to eat off other peoples plates. And get into EVERY conversation someone is having- even if she HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT...she also spends the first hour of every shift sitting on the floor by someone elses desk talking about all her drama instead of working.....

aclark316

Here's one for you. I am the only female in my place of employment. The guy that I work with the most is constantly raving about all of these other females that used to hold my position. I have been here for a year now and he still talks about them. "yes, i know that one knew a lot about accounting" (I'm an office manager) "and yes I know that you thought this one was super hot". I'm a happily married woman with two beautiful children, but come on! I don't need to constantly be hearing about what great gals you used to have working here. I'm not trying to pick up any of these dudes but seriously, a chick starts to get a little self-conscious about herself when she's always hearing about how great the OTHER people used to be.
And to top it off, I can never just eat my lunch. It seems like everytime I eat, he has to come in and talk to me. I'm not the kind of person that enjoys eating in front of people. Just weird that way. But it's EVERYTIME! We don't have a break room and I usually have to eat at my desk through my "lunch break" because I am the only one in the office. Just give me a little space while I'm trying to eat. whew! boy, I really got going there.

I had a rule that a coworker wasn't allowed to talk to me before 10 am unless I talked to him first. I'm just plain unpleasant in the mornings.
