    …inspired by the crisp eating thread, it dawned on me today that one of the blokes that works for me licks/sucks all his fingers when eating irrespctive of what it is. For example he could eat a Mars Bar from the wrapper, and then systematically suck every digit despite having not actually touched the chocolate. <cringe>

    The two guys I work with are perhaps the two dullest individuals in Britain. Neither of them speak; neither of them like cars/football/bikes/golf; one of them clears his throat incessantly. I could quite happily windmill the pair of them.

    I have Mr “not three bad” in my office. He’s a total **** AND he judges the state of my coffee cup several times a day, tut-tut-tutting at the stainage 👿

    Plus, I can’t eat an orange without Colleague 2 saying: “wow, that orange smells orangey.”

    I’m probably missing a top joke there. He’s said it three or four times a week for the last year… 😯

    Bloke 1: Overweight and ginger*, bad BO, bad breath, listens to very loud and tinny drum’n’bass all day, last night’s dinner all down his front, wears the same shorts and sandals ALL year round, huffs and puffs (a lot), yawns loudly all morning, slurps his coffee, bangs his desk when he’s annoyed, takes his daily dump at 9.15AM thereby polluting the only gents’ toilet for the rest of the morning. I could go on.

    Bloke 2: Very noisy eater (nibbles at apples especially badly), loud nose-breather, faggy breath, smokers’ cough and is the most miserable fecker I’ve ever met. I could go on.

    I, on the other hand, am a joy to share an office with 🙂

    Bloke by me has a nervous scratch. About 2 or 3 times a minute he furiously scratches his head. His desk is full of hairs. It is like sitting near a dog with fleas.

    My top two:
    Chewing gum! & doing it while talking to me, gross, I can see it in their mouth, it’s digusting. Sometimes the gum ‘cracks’ as they chew, sometimes I hear this noise behind me when I’m on the phone, it’s disgustuing. What are you, a cow?

    & Commenting on what I’m eating. ‘oh chicken is it’ No it’s a farking tube of toothpaste, now f o.

    Looking at these complaints, you obviously all work in IT. 🙂

    Whistling. Guy 2 doors down does this all day long, whistling along to whatever he’s got on the iPod.

    Another guy used to whistle the dambusters tune whilst walking along the corridor (here being Germany 😉 but I think only the brits would be aware of the significance)

    Someone at our work insists on eating oranges at his desk, slurping away and with his sticky fingers on everything. And the state of his rarely-washed coffee goes through me *shudder*

    Not realising that their voices can be turned down to an “indoor” setting, especially when the conversation is totally inane and nothing to do with work. If you are going to slack off then try to be slightly subtle about it. Post on a forum for example 😳

    If I don’t get annoyed with any habits of my colleuges, does that mean I’m the annoying one? 😕

    I’ve worked with the same lad for 7 years, everything he says is ended with a sort of slurp noise, as if there’s too much spit in his mouth, and when he drinks anything he follows his last gulp with a sort of aaaahhh noise. I could quite easily kill him

    Work colleagues are just there. That’s enough for me.
    The incessant drivel that comes out of their mouths and the constant bitching just seals the deal.

    And this button-down, Oxford-cloth psycho might just snap, and then stalk from office to office with an Armalite AR-10 carbine gas-powered semi-automatic weapon, pumping round after round into colleagues and co-workers. This might be someone you’ve known for years. Someone very, very close to you.

    I ‘have a friend’ who’s jobs sometimes involves using company vehicles. Apparently his usual co-driver is a bit more of a perv than your regular run of the mill perv. He doesn’t just glance admiringly at the ladies, he swivels round in his chair to ogle them as we pass. Cringe worthy. Apparently.

    To many to list with some of the weirdo’s in my office

    But topping this list will be one woman who can eat crisps as if she has a megaphone in front of her mouth and project the noise across the entire office. Oh and she walks about scuffing her feet on the floor in such a slothenly manner I want to shout throttle her

    Irritating in the sense of frustrating business jargon…

    “James, sports question for you” is one that particularly gets to me

    Aah!

    Ssssssshhhhhllllllluuuuuuurrrrrrrppppppppp

    All the way to the bottom of the cup! I’ve come so very close to ramming the **** cup down his throat with my **** fist on many occasions. He also only eats chicken & rice, let’s it go cold then nukes it in the mircowave which stinks

    Most of them here do this really annoying thing with their mouths that they need to stop doing really soon. What’s it called? Oh yeah – breathing.

    if he’d only stop that I could cope with the tutting , slouching talking on the phone with loudspeaker on , asking random questions to no one in particular from the other end of the room ……..
