£20 a month
How much for the phone?
Nothing
You must be paying for the phone because nobody is doing deals like that?
All I'm paying is £20
Can you get me the same deal?
No, it's a special deal they did just for me.

So who is the most annoying person you know and you can't really get away from them?
My mates girlfriend takes annoying to another level and if she was a bloke her lights would have been punched out by now.
Added to her verbal annoyances is the ability to take the acronyms LOL and ROFL to new heights and she has everybody in the pub looking round because of the most ridiculous laugh ever - that goes on & on & on & on and is so loud.

Here's an idea of what she's like:

1) We were in a pub when the electric goes off and one bloke in the pub is a qualified electrician.
She then proceeded to tell him what the problem was by using the word 'ring' as many times as she could and telling him he was wrong. In the end he gave up trying to tell her what it was likely to be and went and fixed the problem.

2) Somebody asked a question about a boiler so I turned their attention to somebody in the pub who was with British gas for 22 years and had his own gas company for over 10 years.
She actually told the bloke that she knew more than him and he ended up walking off.

3) Same thing with an AA bloke who was 30 years into service and she talked over him coming out with complete BS about the blokes car problem.
They went outside to look/listen but she still spoke over the AA bloke who turned round and went back in the pub.

4) Another mate wanted a PC so somebody said to go to me because I'd been building/fixing/repairing since 1988 and I was the man to suggest a good deal.
She turned around and said that she knew more than me and to take her advice.
I just stayed silent because at this point I was already avoiding her like the plague.
She took him to the blue place and he spent a fortune.

5) Last night I overheard her talking about her PC and how it is the most advanced one there is.
My mate asked her how old it was and she said 3 years old.
He then proceeded to tell her that it would be out of date 2 months later but how much did it cost when she had it?
'£500 but it is the most advanced one and still is' she said.

6) I noticed she had a new IPhone so mistakingly I asked her how much?

These are just tips of the iceberg and sometimes I just want to smack her in the gob to shut her up.
She also looks like Susan Boyles uglier sister.
Do you know anybody as bad as her?

I used to work with a girl who done my flippin head in big style. It was years ago in a factory that made stuff for a chain of bakers and the wages were pants. Yet despite this she lead the most amazing lifestyle. She had a collection of vintage cars (but lived in a high rise council flat), owned numerous houses despite earning less than £90 a week (and the council flat was her mums!!). Had a boyfriend that was a male model who was spending time in L.A on a photo shoot (even her closest friends had never set eyes on hime even though they'd known her for years).
Her stories got more and more bizarre everytime I saw her. Even though I knew she was telling lies I couldn't help but egg her on even more to see what she'd come up with next.
She even called in one day to say that she couldn't make it to work as she was delayed at the airport in America (she was overr seeing her *ahem* boyfriend). I was lucky enough to take the call in the office and wound her up like a good un.
When I asked what airport she was at she said she couldn't remember!
When I asked what time the next flight out of there she was getting she just said .. soon!
When I asked her what time it was over there she said that there wasn't any clocks nearby for her to look at!
When I asked her why her home phone number had come up on the caller ID display, she said that she had a telephone that was so new on the market she was testing it for BT! This phone had a function that would allow her to make calls from anywhere in the world and all she had to do was call it and it then charged her at local rates rather than international rates.

I hated this girl but winding her up just became too funny to want to kill her anymore

Personally I find mythomaniacs among the most annoying people in existence. I can see why it's funny for a bit though, it just seems impossible that they actually even would consider that anyone believes them... Waht goes on in that head

I work with the most infuriatingly noisy bloke. Nobody I've met in the 28 years of my life gets on my wick quite so much as this guy.

He'll spend the entire day being noisy. This usually entails whistling whatever song was impressed in his small mind by the radio on his way into work that day, for most of the day. Usually it's the same lines over and over and over.

Further to this, he often claps very loudly along to his own whistling or singing, which drives us all to distraction. Another favourite is to drum objects with his hands or to pop chewing gum loudly. It's almost as though he's spent his 40+ years on this planet trying to be as loud as humanly possible. The company I work for is very small, with 6 employees in a small industrial unit. This guy can be heard anywhere in the building almost the entire day. It's actually a relief to turn on whatever loud machinery we happen to be using, as it drowns him out (sometimes).

Words have been had, but there's only so much that can be done because he's the MD's son. He therefore is immune to all disciplinary action, and generally behaves like a teenager (our 16 year or apprentice acts more maturely). Incidentally, the MD works from an office 50 miles away in London, so he's completely detached from the annoyance. He's just got back from a 2 week holiday, and during that time everyone was happily working away and getting along fine. Now he's back, people are snappy, and morale is down the toilet.

Do you have to put up with persistently noisy people at work? Have you managed to get them to stop, and if so, how?

Rant over.
