    I have one that talks about food ALL DAY long, and super loud too. He is also the most negative person I have ever met. Another one is just plain dumb...he talks about the dumbest stuff all day and half the time no one understands what he is talking about...I almost feel sorry for him : (

    Because we work in an office where we can all see eachother and their phone sit and buzz on their desks all day.
    Sorry, maybe I have a low tolerance for things like that.

    I have a co-worker that is texting ALL day long and she doesn't put her phone on silent or vibrate so you constantly here it go off...and I mean constantly in this instance. It's annoying and distracting.........and narcissistic!...the whole office doesn't need to know you are getting 100 texts a day!

    I have a really annoying co-worker who does nothing but complain all the time. Lunchtime is really important for me now, as I'm "recovering" from an eating disorder and one of the most important things I do is try to eat mindfully. EVERY day at lunch, it's nonstop complaining and loudmouthing. Since I work at a school where there are 4 different lunches, I've actually requested the 3rd lunch instead of the 2nd in the past, knowing I will be hungry, just to avoid having lunch at the same time as her, because she is SO annoying. It's like - can't you find something positive to talk about? I just want to scream at her that we produce our own karma. She brings negative because she IS negative!!!

    Maybe it's just the fact that they're not doing any work. The cell phone buzzing is probably really not the issue it's just that they are at work and not working. :ohwell:
    She's complaining about it on MFP... surely she is not annoyed by people not doing work.

    Lol, maybe she's off today? :noway:

    Sure, when I have a day off, I spend it thinking about all the ways my coworkers annoy me.

    I have 2 coworkers that sit and text eachother all day. Its getting really annoying. :explode:
    What do yours do?


    That does sound annyoying, I dont know what these people are getting worked up about.


    My co worker texts people at lest 100 times during the workday. He always says that it doesnt matter because he still gets his sht done, even so, 30 seconds per text is still just about an hour of not working. I'm suprised he hasnt been repremanded yet.

    I have one guy that will argue every point even if you agree with him. He will also constantly complain about how his job sucks. I have another guy who has had what sounds like near death coughing fits for the last five years. One guy who chews his food loudly with his mouth open.

    This. :sad:

    I work with two girls, 19 and a 21 years old. They are freaking annoying!! They are just too young... too immature. Too b*tchy. I can't wait until I can get a real job!

    We are not allowed to have cell phones in my work which SUCKS bc instead of texting each other the people around me talk out loud so I have to listen to how ugh they are and it sucks the life out of me. I have one annoying stuck up *****, a gangster thug, a nerdy paramedic, a like old mom who is a snooze fest and uptight, an old overweight lady who talks about amazing food all day and bakes the most fattening things, and a gothic middle aged crisis woman with a drinking problem, and my boss who is by the BOOK everything, easily annoyed over exaggerated uptight. And then there is just me living in a soap opera.

    My boss is awesome, no complaints with her. I do have one co-worker that thinks she's gods gift to case management and I would love to put her in her place, because she's actually pretty awful at her job. The other person I work with is pretty cool, but she's allergic to a lot of deodorants, so she can be stinky sometimes.

    I'm just responding to people who responded to me... but if two comments makes you think I'm "butt hurt" about it... um... I don't really give a ****.

    When I first saw this thread I thought it was going to give me ways to annoy my co-workers, ... but that wasn't the intention. I was happy that it evolved into that, now I am getting many ideas of things I can do to annoy others, .... THANKS! :)

    My co-workers are generally pretty cool, although this one girl I work with is a major know-it-all...

    She is constantly on a new "diet" (which never work, seeing as she is the exact same size she's been since I've known her--nearly 2 years now), and she's always telling me what I'm doing wrong with regards to diet and exercise...I guess my 20 lbs weight loss doesn't count...

    And then this one lady is a heavy walker--I can hear her in the next hallway over because she walks REALLY heavily and fast (we're on the 2nd floor of the building) and it's distracting. Then there's the one receptionist who's just really lazy and wears flip flops every day (and I have no idea how HR hasn't gotten onto her about it---they are only allowed on Fridays, we have to dress up in our office). Man, I guess the people I work with annoy me more than I thought lol

    I only really have one co worker that gets a little under my skin. She feels that since she works a second job, she can come in and sit around and not do a thing, while I'm busy cleaning up the store. I normally am pretty passive agressive, but she made a comment the other night while she was sitting with her friend that came in about how i'm just a cleaning machine. I snapped back at her that if I didn't do it, it definitely wouldn't get done. She kept quiet then. When I let my boss know about her slacking, she allowed me to send her home the next time she didn't want to work. I am the type that would rather work alone than work with somebody who doesn't want to work. I know that there are plenty of people who NEED a job and would take her place in an instant. I don't see her to last too much longer. She is also one of those that call in sick after a night of partying. *sigh*

    Another co-worker, right now is screaming at the top of his lungs and NEVER shuts his office door His voice is always on 11. So distracting, puitting earphone on now.

    Man I wish my old job with my nice office, now I've been relegated to a cubicle. I am very fortunate to have my job and I love my work and have a great boss but, co-workers can be and often are challenging. Period.

    Argh! Earphones in ears now!

    I have a co-worker who is really loud and annoying. She shouts across the room and says things that are inappropriate or tmi in a work place. I think she wants attention.

    I have one that eats all day and complains about her weight. She's 5'5" and 220lbs. Constantly walks out to the corner store and comes back with Little Debbie cupcakes, brownies and such. Then she goes to spin class and wonders why she's not losing weight. Or she loudly cusses and gives customers discounts she's not supposed to. I think she thinks they'll sweep her off her feet and live happily ever after.
    Then she tries and give me those horrid cakes cuz " I need to eat"....

    Why is that annoying?
    Mostly because a lot of work places either ban the use of cell phones, or limit the use of them. Not to mention that they are slacking off, texting all day instead of working.

    I have co-workers that smuggle phones on the floor and try to sneak texts in. Thankfully I can write them up after a warning. I usually give them 3 before I have to though.

    If they can pull their weight, I don't care what they do, but when they can't pull their weight and/or I'm cleaning up their messes, THAT pisses me off
