We all have one...or two. You know, that guy.

At my work "that guy" is young, new, and ANNOYING. He is constantly sending out mass emails inviting people to physician dinners, learning sessions, etc etc. STOP COPYING ME ON THESE EMAILS. he walks around with his nose in the air asking questions like, "Are you proficient with Microsoft Word?" Like what! Shut up you snob and talk like a normal person.

On treat days at work he has no sense of space. My space. MY BUBBLE. While I am cautiously speading cream cheese on my bagel making sure I am only using 2 tablespoons he is BREAAATTHHINNGG down my neck, reaching around me, being annoying as possible.

argh! I hate that guy.

Please share yous "That Guy" stories below!

    Thankfully my current office doesn't have any weirdos!!! However, there was definitely a "that guy" at my last job - he would clip his toenails at his desk and every time he came in to your cube to ask a question or whatever, it was like he purposefully made sure his crotch was as close to your face as possible. So sick....

    "That guy" at work is a woman. Her problems are my emergencies. :explode:

    My 'that guy' is the guy at our work who is in charge of the whole Going Green concept. He constantly is coming over and talking about solar this, recycle that. I know these things are important, but please don't judge me because I don't have on organic cotton.

    Annoying bonus..his kid is allergic to everything and he is constantly saying how kids should'nt be allowed to bring things in his son's classroom that contains allergy contents (which includes peanut butter, eggs, nuts, wheat, tomatos and strawberries!)

    Don't really have anyone like that in my office. Then again, we have a pretty large office space for a small number of employees, so it's not hard to avoid people.

    "that Guy" or "that old *kitten* who thinks i want him talking to me" at my job is such an *kitten*.. he talks to his assistant like a bad dog, and yells at her for our whole floor to hear. i ignore him hard. i don't look at him if i pass him in the hall, or see him on the kitchen, if i HAVE TO talk to him, it is at a minimum, and he has the nerve to come to my desk and be like "ohh i havent talked to you on so long!" i'm like probably because i fcn ignore you, have you seriously not gotten the hint?? he's hitler.

    Here is a saying you might enjoy that one of the girls I work with uses: "A lack of preparation on your part does not constitute and emergency on mine."

    at my last office, they half-@$$ed the going green... "that guy" bought recycled post-its that only came in colors resembling poop--- baby poop green, too much fiber brown, etc... and you couldn't even read your writing on them.

    Personally I agree with the bans. My kids not allergic to any of those things but I would have no problem making sure my kid doesn't have that food around kids that are. Only thing I heard schools around here banning was peanut butter and other peanut products.

    My view is my kid can enjoy that stuff at home. Better safe then sorry.

    My office is made up mainly of That Guys... there is one who is such a pesterer and totally incompetent. He is in charge of the most unimportant things. Like internal control audits for office processes. He sat over my shoulder and literally gave me word by word edits.. but not directly. "Don't you think you could choose a better work there? Should that be a comma? " he would walk away, pace back and forth past my door 5 times and walk back in again.

    After an hour of this I told his boss next time he sends him into my office I will throw him out of the window. :laugh:

    "Are you proficient with Microsoft Word?"


    Now that's the way to say it! But then again, who isn't? It's Microsoft Word, after all. :wink:

    There use to be a guy here that snipped his nails in the office too. Currently there is one guy here who does nothing but eat peanuts all. day. long. He sits in front of me so I am constantly hearing "munch munch munch munch" and whiffs of cigarette/peanuts odors coming from him. Not exactly weird but something the combo of cigarette/peanuts make me gag.

    There is one chick who is a know it all. She is so competitive and annoying sometimes....

    Mine is more of a "That girl!" I have worked at my job for over 5 years now. I get along with EVERYONE! Love them all; they are like a second family for me. Except 'that girl!" She does all kinds of things... but biggest one is probably the fact she's worked here less than a year and walks around like she's better than everyone. She got her position because of 'who she knew' kind of deal and completely shows it with her holier than thou attitude along with her always leaving early, her trying to avoid taking phone calls (her position is in customer service).. along with many other things. I've tried so hard to not let her get to me and get along with her....but I really just can't stand 'that girl.' haha
