Anyone else sit with people who make noises for noise sake... talking about every little thing they are doing, talking out loud instead of thinking to themself all day long. Taking long loud deep breaths for no reason, slurping tea or stiring tea with a metal spoon for 5 mins, tapping on the table, slamming draws closed ect.... AARRGGHH!!!

maybe i need a holiday!

or a megaphone so i can get my own back....

colin - rant over.
 
Just have a polite word to them both when they are doing it. Most times thats all it takes. After you've done that offer to make them a brew to show there's no hard feelings
 
Stop wasting time by making threads and start killing them horribly with office equipment.

If you're quick enough you'll make the lunch time news.
 
We have a few people like that here..ive heard staff members moan about a particular person who will "clear their throat" every few seconds.
 
Do you know there are several ways you can kill someone with simple office based equipment. Research and learn.

EDIT: You think thats bad, imagine in office when people who make phone calls don't lift the handset, it's on speakephone and their shouting....

I believe I had a learner on a course here, who got so mad at another learner.. I caught him searching the internet for ways to kill people without having to touch them... :eek:

Your in the wrong job if things like this annoy you. Learn to get on with things.
 
Tell the chap to give it a rest because hes doing your nut?
OR sit in silence and ask or random people to help.

I play the drums with my hands on the desk. Sometimes wonder if it bothers the others in the office, but who cares its only a bit of tapping.

Agreed!
 
Over Summer we had an incompetent 'team leader' who tried to get my mate sacked for drumming on the desk. He only did it a few times a day for about five seconds.

He left in the end and they were gutted because he was too good at his job. Made her look bad in the end as she wasn't able to organise the team. Bear in mind we were only 'temps', as it were, and usually over Summer there is LESS work as the Universities tend to order less lab/life sci supplies. Goodness knows how they would have managed if that was during the busy period.
 
I find lots of noises annoying :p

-eating with mouth open
-squelching noise some people make when they eat with their mouth shut
-gummy noises when people speak (mainly old people)
-people supressing coughs when they should juts have a 2min fit and get it over and done with

... actually that's probably all of them, apart from rubbish loud music obviously.
 
Laugh out loud and when they ask what your laughing at tell them that some guy on the internet is really annoyed with his work mates making a lot of noise and that someone has told him to staple their tongues to the desks.

should get the point across :)
