Is it me or does anyone else have annoying workmates ? I got this one lad who sits next to me and sings and whistles all day. The thing is he whistles out of tune, he's tone deaf so its a monotone and he makes his own words up. Plus he can't eat properly without making some god awfull slurping noise whilst smacking his lips. He even exagerates is coughs and sneezes to draw attention to him being an absolute plumb.

Now don't get me wrong I am sure we all have annoying habbits and I am sure I have. This guy is sending me up the wall though. Anyone else work with any weird ones.
 
yep, most of us do! It would either be that or there would be an individual, trying to play superior over you by constantly evaluating the way you do your job. Thats life sometimes unfortunately.
 
There was a bloke in our office who would constantly clear his throat, loudly...

I ended up just getting a fit of the giggles as I watched everyone round the office begin to cringe at every noise he made. I swear someone was going to just snap, reach down his throat and clear it once and for all...
 
Yeah what is it with certain people. They seem totally ignorant of the way that they carry on. I mean if I was slurping, gurgling and chomping food I would be totally aware of the sound and embarrassed it would be offputting to others.

They must be sitting there in their own little world.
 
everyone in my company is like 55+....

im only here cuz its easy and laid back...i know its not very career minded off me but yeh they get right on my nerves...

they just think they know it all (when they dont) they cant really accept other peoples opinions, very eccentric and can be rude without knowing it at times also..

We had a temp at work who had sinus problems. At first it wasn't too bad, but eventually he was snorting and swallowing every 20 seconds.... (yes we timed it...)

god that would seriously drive me nucking futs... :eek:

*appreciates own office a little more*
 
We had a complete nutjob at one place I used to work at. He was one of those animal rights type activist, white guy with dreadlocks and looked like a good long shower was called for, and used to go around at lunch time shouting at people who were eating meat, calling us "murderers" and such.

Bloody weirdo!
 
Just the normal things here at work,

People talking to themselfs, funny when they talk each letter to their password.

People who eat with mouths open or try talking when eating.

People who slurp drinks.

People who leave empty bottles and sandwich wrappers on the desk.

But over all, im sure i do things that anoye them too. Still, hard to be humble...
 
I used to work with this fat, scruffy, greasy guy who stank. He used to go to Sainsbury's in his lunch and come back with half a roast chicken, then he would eat it with his fingers and wash it down with a can of coke. His hands were constantly greased up the whole time.

His belly used to hang out from under his shirt.
 
My workmate is annoying but probably in a different way which is going to open up all sorts of cans of worms...

She comes in the office after the weekend and complains about not being able to find a size 8 pair of trousers and ended up getting a 6... the other girls in my office are bigger than that... so to spare people's feelings I wouldn't go on about it... but she does...

The other thing she goes on about is how she can't eat anything... she is a veggie, but you can't take her to any restaurant to eat veggie food - she won't eat whats on there... its sooo awkward, last time I put my foot down and said 'why should we re-arrange venues for client lunches all the time if she is the only one who can't eat?!' I mean I am a fussy eater but I can find at least one thing to eat and don't go on about it...

The last thing... she hasn't taken any holiday, she wants to go to Rome but she doesn't have any friends... and through the craze that is Facebook I keep harping on about how it is cool I am finding old friends, and she is like 'oh I don't want to be on it, friends from back home keep adding me and I don't want to be on Facebook'... she doesn't drink - but then again I have some Muslim friends who don't either but they still come out and drink soft drinks and socialise..

She's recently moved here from Slovakia so obviously there is culture differences and things that she has to get used to and adapt to here, but there is only so much you can do to help someone who is so stubborn and unwilling to adapt...

Grrr!!! *breathes*

Ha ha thats nothing, I used to sit next to a guy who occasionally hit himself, walked in circles, and smacked his keyboard. He's a very odd bunny.

One fella I've worked with would slurp drinks, eat VERY loudly with his mouth wide open, and talk. Non stop. About everything that would come up in conversation. You make a quick joke about something, everyone laughs, and straight away the laughter dies as this guy says "Actually...." and starts telling you the entire history of everything you'd just said, completely devoid of humour.
 
people with drastic BO. man its bad, on a warm/bad day...

AGH its like im choking at my desk.

but most people would probably complain about me fussy eater, messy and maybe a touch eccentric!
