Annoying cowokers

Edge · March 16th, 2007, 09:58 PM

What do your coworkers do that annoys you?

1. Gossiping, back-stabbing. I truly hate this. It has no place in a work place, yet my co-workers do it.

2. I sit in a cubicle and across from me is another coworker, facing in the opposite direction. Yet for some reason she has to turn around and look at what I am doing. I can sense her looking and I quickly turn around. She hurriedly tries to pretend she is reading something or turns to her computer screen.

I am close to telling her “Do you own damn work and quit staring at what I am doing!”

2. Making personals calls and talking about non-work related things with a spouse, family member etc... Under my breath I say “Talk abut that s*it during your lunch hour!”

3. Probably the most annoying is the lack of bathroom etiquette. My coworkers apparently don't know how to flush the toilet or clean up after themselves. I don't want to go to the bathroom and see streaks or see paper. It is truly disgusting. There is a brush there, so use it. My manger is one the culprits.

You must be a pleasure to work with.

I want to find the thread they have on you

Sadly, that's human nature for a lot of folks. Put them in a contained area and it breeds. If it's not work that is their practice ground, it's at Church or the kids' soccer practice.

Personally, I have lost a job because of this behavior, and it was hard to fight the urge for revenge. Physical confrontation was out in this case.

I think my main beef with co-workers is when they leave their work station a total mess. One person in particular that I relieve is a total slob, sometimes it's trash laying right next to the waste basket (if you miss the basket from point blank range at least have the freaking courtesy to get it in there the second time!) , sometimes it's dried coffee on the desk, or something truly vile and disgusting like a cigarette butt that didn't find it's way into the trash

I don't even trip anymore on the backstabbing and gossiping type. Every company has those kinds of butt smooching lackeys, and I know how to deal with them.

Did it occur to you that she wants you to be her daddy?
