Annoying Coworkers

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 wish I could use headphones...all I get is CNBC lol.

I have one that spys on everyone in the office, and reports back to the higher ups. I have another that steals people's ideas, and passes them off as her own.

What coworkers? :noway:

I work from home with 6 kids. I wish I had a coworker to talk to... and one who wouldn't mind doing some work.

Oh wait... I need a maid.

I have THE most annoying co-worker. She is always HOVERING over my desk. Her office is just down the hall from mine and we share a printer, so every time she prints something, she stops at my desk and USES it to straighten her papers and then uses my stapler, even though her desk and stapler are only steps away. She always wants to talk to my boss and if she (my boss) isn't here within SECONDS of the time she usually shows up, Annoying Coworker is already at my desk asking where she is.

She drives me crazy!!

You need one of these - http://www.gadgetsdealer.com/product44239.html

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.

I've got one of those too. She's in her 50's and is already a tad hard of hearing. I've asked her several times to put it on silence, but I don't know how to ask nicely anymore so I just don't. In addition, she has her regular work phone ringer set 3 volumes higher than any of the rest of ours. I can hear her ringer better than my own which is right next to me. THAT is annoying! Especially when she lets it ring while she finishes a text. LOL

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

That's none of your business unless you are their boss and it is affecting their performance. Get over it.

It is when they don't put their phone on silent!!!!!!! dinggggg dinnggggg dinngggg every two minutes...it's annoying!

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

I'm with this. If I can get all of my work done with a few texts thrown in, it shouldn't be a problem. I don't smoke, but half of my coworkers take multiple smoke breaks. I am usually done with my work an hour or so early, and always pick up any slack or extra work that others may have. If I get everything done, it shouldn't matter if I'm texting or not. I always put the client first, and my phone is always on mute.

Ugh yeah. I think I am the only person at my job that doesn't smoke. It doesn't bother me that they do it, considering I was a smoker at one time and I totally get it, but it doesn't take 30-40 minutes to smoke. I think some of them have made a bad habit about calling up friends while they're taking their smoke breaks.

Mine takes dr's calls at her desk and I am now completely up to date about her yeast infection, staph, and the smell and consistancy of her bowel movements

There's a lady (at least I think she is a female) in my office that has appointed herself in charge of the break room. I call her the "kitchen nazi" and/or "Igor." Igor is OCD. She knows the location of every single last item, down to which way the pot holders hang off the microwave cart. Every morning I move something around, something VERY minute. She notices EVERY single solitary time. By the next time I go in, it's moved back to its rightful location.

Maybe I have too much time on my hands, but for her to investigate things tiny little changes in the break room... she needs a time filler.
