[Closed] Most irritating habits of your colleagues...

worked with the same bloke 13yrs, we get on like mr and mrs.......however, we started a new bloke a couple of weeks ago.
he wont be here long.

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.

Don't get me started on irritating colleagues

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... 😯

Talking to me.

johnellison, football and golf are banned words at our place.......the sports of moronic fools. 😀

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 ****er I've ever met. I could go on.

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

(*I am neither fattist nor gingerist, he added hastily)

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.

3-2-1 Go!

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. 🙂

johnellison - have you just started a new job? Work with someone called ton? 😉

EDIT - hmm, think i need some sort of disclaimer here... not calling anyone dull... 😳

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

* suspiciously eyes the back of a head that may well belong to jamiep *

Rich is a lot fitter than I am, this annoys me, might send him to the cupboard for 5 mins 😈

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.

just asked my work pal my irritating habits.
apart from being a miserable grumpy bad tempered old ****, he say's i am fine....... 😆

I don't really have any issues with most of my work colleagues but I do know this guy nick named Badger who drives a van very slow, especially on Sunday mornings en-route to MTBing...Does my head in!

Also 1 guy I work with who has dog shit sandwhich breath and never covers his mouth when sneezing = snot and stuffs everywhere...

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

Sorry I have too.

Irritating in the sense of frustrating business jargon...

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

Hmm, thinking of examples for this is quite literally making my blood boil.

One stands out for me.

It's the way he 'drinks' tea. Sllluuuuuuurrrrrrppppp

Sssssslllllllluuuuuurrrrrrrrpppppp

Sshlurpppppp

Sssshhhhhuuuuurrrrrppppp

Aah!

Ssssssshhhhhllllllluuuuuuurrrrrrrppppppppp

All the way to the bottom of the cup! I've come so very close to ramming the ****ing cup down his throat with my ****ing 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.

Breathing

Women who talk and laugh really loudly (HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA) and don't care if colleagues are on the phone.

johnellison - have you just started a new job? Work with someone called ton?

I was beginning to wonder that myself... 😯

johnellison, football and golf are banned words at our place.......the sports of moronic fools.

You are my boss and I claim £5.

One REsprays deodorant at circa 10am. WHY?!!!!

logical - looks like you've blown a seal there, mate.

I'll get me coat... 😯

Breathing

😆

In his direction or yours? 😉

let me guess....Camo16? 😀

I think its the breathing mainly , ai and out in and out

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 ........

In his direction or yours?

😆

I remember one never ever did any physical exercise of any type yet talked about dieting none stop and often bought diet pills off of Ebay.

Frankly, none of you lot sound like you're business core so why don't you just kill yourselves ?

Okay so not really a colleague but someone in the same building as me.

At first it started off with a bra left hanging on the cubicle door in the mens toilets. Much hilarity ensued and there were rafts of giggles around the office.

About 6 months later yet another bra was found in the same toilet. Ha ha very funny, yes we've seen it before.

Next month a womens floral dress appears. Okay it was funny the first time but give it a rest now. Plus we're accumulating a load of lost property.

Then with ever more frequency the items change from clothing to a weekly deposit of items such as a candelabra, a china cat, a small (and quite frankly hideous) doll, a teddy bear etc etc. It was beginning to get a bit like a live episode of the Generation Game by now.

Not only that we had a box of this shit cluttering up the office.

We had our suspicions and names were mentioned. Office gossip was, as you can imagine, rife.

A quiet spell ensues and then it returns.

First up we have a single egg. Placed discretely on the floor next to the toilet.

A few eggs and weeks later and small piles of salt appear on the floor.

This is getting annoying now and it must be equally as confusing for the cleaners who keep finding these presents. Not only that there is now genuine concern that someone may not be taking their medication.

Now the small piles of salt have a egg gently placed on top like some odd little shrine.

Its hard to know where to go from an egg and the straw that breaks the camels back is a smashed egg on the toilet floor. Being a tiled floor this is obviously quite slippery.

Managers now have really had enough and question their prime suspect no 1. It soon stops after that.

Bet you cant guess this is Local Authority 🙂

that used to be my ring tone. swapped it for Fawlty Towers.

whenever i get a van (not sign written) i take pleasure in beeping and [s]oogling[/s] waving to the ladies. they love it really, the attention. makes them feel wanted.

self-employed here. not many people that i have to work with that i can't stand. we usually exclude the knobbers from any jobs we've got going.

my office which i share with 3 female colleagues is the warmest in our building yet my manager insists on switching on a fan heater under her desk to keep her feet warm, she also does a very good Dom Joly impression when on the phone. the girl opposite me also has a fan heater under her desk...i suffer from dry eyes so when the heaters kick in...it's sleepy time for me!!
