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. [/i]

It's alright, ell_tell – My boy's going to be a star footballer, apparently. So he'll have boobs on tap and no-one will admit he annoys them! 😀

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!!

I know, what the **** is it with women insisting that it's cold all the time???

I used to work with one (our receptionist) who despite the fact that she worked in a glass-fronted reception area which was South-facing and thus like a greenhouse 99% of the time, insisted on having a heater on behind the reception desk and wearing a coat/cardigan indoors all the time. Even in summer. Annoying as tits. Mind you I did end up banging her.

Our works went through a faze of dry humping, no one was excluded, all got a bit out of hand, until HO gave everyone a written warning.

It a prized document which I keep just in case I go for a job which requires dry humping experience 😉

my boss is bugging me in that she insists on us going for dinner after work quite regularly but then orders **** all and then keeps asking to try what Ive ordered and saying wow Ill have to get that next time complete ****t.

I just avoid eating with her now.

and then I keep getting dragged in to meetings where I know what Im talking about but she dosent so I end up having to sort shit out but Im now being asked to report everything I do weekly so again just refusing to do this and sit at my desk doing my stuff and ignore their meeting requests.
cant wait to finish this contract.

Generally get on fine with mine, but we do have the undertable fan heater one (and constant requests to turn the heat up higher than the current 35 degrees C) and the noisy eater / throat clearer.

I get them back by creating the world's messiest desk.

there is an enormous fat bloke in our office who appears to be short sighted and so sit's in his chair with his body slumped on the desk in front so he can tilt his head up to look at the screen - so displaying about a foot of builders bum.
He stinks, breaths like a walrus and goes for sleeps in the bogs, during which he snores loudly.

i have a colleague who if you gave him that work instruction explicitly and it was a critical operation he would then proceed to press all the buttons all at the same time.......

he speaks a language that would be helpful places i go.

i dont

i work in those countries

i'd rather(and do) go on my own and make do with their pigeon english and stick man drawings than take him..... and my boss understands this ! I dont trust him to tell the client what ive told him as direct translation, he will give his interpretation of what he thinks i "should" be saying.

Less body fat than men, they feel a couple of degrees colder.

Mind you I did end up banging her.

You have got that the wrong way around. Women have a higher % bodyfat than men do. Men generally have better metabolism.

True. I think you'll find there are also differences in male and female subcutaneous fat layers (thicker in men). And men are generally hairier.

Years ago I worked in an office with someone who lived in London (worked in Swindon). He wouldn't go back home each day but live in his car all week.

By Friday all the windows were open (sod datacentre security, it *reeked*) as he was most pungent. And he'd leave his Y-fronts on the back seat of his car drying after washing them in the loo sink. And his car was full of cigarette burn marks.

Eww.

There was a guy in the same open plan office. He'd arrive at nine each day and promptly make a phone call to his family. He kept it very quiet, (see he could do when he wanted to) but it usually lasted 20-30 mins and was to far, far way. Then he'd turn on his PC. Then he'd moan about how long it took his PC to fire up*. And he'd make work-related calls very loudly, a form of showing off. Sometimes he'd make them from the courtesy phone in reception. That made things difficult for the receptionists handling incoming calls.

*He never thought of switching on the PC when he arrived, instead he removed the AV to speed it up. And introduced a record number of viruses to the network.

Trust me, I don't miss him.

We have this chap who does that horrible hocking up noise like he's bring up a load of phlegm, every day without fail. He also doesn't wash his hands after going the bog, even for a dump. Dirty get he is.

And i'm too nice to give him the vickys as I'm screaming past him at 50

People who use the work phone extensively to organise their personal life in an open plan office.

I don't really care about the money or the rules but there are people who sit in my office who I don't even know that well and I could tell you how many mortgages they have, when they will be paid off, which lenders rejected them, the value of their house, the cost of their dogs hair trimming, how well their husband is doing at his job interviews etc and that's just in the last fortnight. I mean, phoning your mate to find out when he's at the pub- fine. Phoning your mum for 5mins to see if your kids are alright- fine. But sometimes I'm embarrassed to hear the stuff I'm hearing but it's not like I can turn my ears off.

Also anybody who holds impromptu meetings in doorways, in the kitchen, next to the water thing and then give you evils for walking past- just **** off and book a meeting room somewhere you pricks.

Wow, I'm a pretty angry person it seems. In fairness I do actually like most people in my office. Or I thought I did.

Arm chair faulting, diagnosing things without actually having the full facts, blaming the fault on someone else' equipment.
Failing to properly test safety critical systems even though they've been told to go and do it but that would mean leaving the depot.
Spending an hour grizzling about doing a 5 minute job just down the road.
Leaving a piece of equipment failed for 6 months because it might get flooded and fail again.
Drive-by-maintenance.

duggan

hearing you loud and clear.

whole office hearing a colleague trying to consollidate loans was a bollocks of a day. - now everyone knows how much debt and to which credit cards- and that was with my headphones on at working levels !

worse still - he was on his mobile phone - could have quite easy gone and stood in the stair well like anyone else.

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

That, there, is the work of a genius. I worked in an office environment for a while, I lasted 8 months. I never thought of toilet shrines, but I did install Doom on an IBM mainframe and organised all the manuals in the storage room by colour.

Now I work on my own, and generally just annoy myself.

Everyone in my office annoys me, I have often asked my boss if I can work in a cupboard on my own, on another floor well out of the way, one guy has really really bad hygiene issues, and insists on standing way to close when he talks to you, might try and explain the whole personal space thing to him, and women whom constantly spend every Friday afternoon primping and preening for drinks after work, not to mention those who arrive late in the morning, then spent the next few hours putting on their make up for the day a painting their nails. I am actually considering taking a razor (niche merkur of course) and having a shave at my desk in the not too distant future.

Love the 'manuals by colour' ben. Thanks for sharing: if I ever get another job....

*Thinks - by colour, then within colour groups, by weight/height/thickness.*

And yes she did take her cardigan off, but only after putting the central heating on full blast. In the middle of July.

There's a woman here who paints her nails at her desk, the same one who chews gum incidently, farking stinks the place out. Also she insists on un-muting her computer sound card so that you get annoying windows two tone piano exclamtion noise sounding all the time. I secretly laugh at her misfortune with internet dating. 😆

guy at work sprays Linx/Axe deodorant when sat at his desk.

Smell makes me gag, why he cant go to the toilet and spray his bits is beyond me.
