The Annoying Co-Worker Thread

[KevMcNJ]

Annoying co-worker #1: The Im so busy and Im going to hold you up for two minutes so I can tell you how busy I am guy.

Hes usually just mildly annoying but he caught me on a bad day today

and it was all I could do to not tell him to STFU and answer my stupid question so I could finish my work

Who's next?

I had a coworker who became pregnant and came in shoving a picture of her sonogram in everyone's face. Gaaah. Nobody wants to see a picture of your insides.

LOL...and they act as if you can instantly decipher all of those dark blurry lines. 'What is that, a cat?'

It's a squid

I worked at The Chicago Tribune. 9 P.M. until 5 A.M., that is 8 hours, tho 45 minutes for lunch made us work a 7:15 hour day. At the end of your shift, you would get a free newspaper. Well, most of the times I did not. You see there were workers who would take sometimes up to 18 newspapers to take home to their buddies.

Oh give her a break, it's not like billions of people have had children - this is a rare occasion

I know, right? What a "miracle."

As the late, great George Carlin said - "Nobody cares about your children! That's why they're YOUR children - so you can care about them, and we don't have to."

I work with Ren Butler!!!! Imagine the H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS I go through every day. He showed everyone a sonogram of his insides, too.

We kind of liked it.

Is that better or worse than when he brought in a stool sample to show everybody?

[mdkiel]

I have one who thinks out loud and announces his every move, "OK, that's done, now I have to this this..." His desk chair casters could use some WD-40 too...

[KevMcNJ]

Bring some in and give the casters a shot when he's not looking

They probably just sold them on the corner outside Walgreens.

I have one who is an absolute know-it=all.
He speaks in such a slow measured cadence it is as if he truly believes the world is hanging on his every word.
In addition he is often wrong about little things like when the Dodgers conducted spring training in Riverside CA---it was the Angels---or the time Floyd Patterson was robbed in that fight in Sweden against Cassuis Clay.
But most of all is his insistence to talk politics all the time even those none of us reply to anything he says.
Retirement cannot come to quickly.

I am in a tiny office section with 3 people, both are older guys. The one across from me is a tapper. He taps constantly. Hands, elbows, palms. Annoying as ****. He also doesn't have a ton of computer knowledge (I think he knows more than he lets on but he's also got an older slower computer) Dude flips out on the computer. Banging the crap out of mouse and swearing when the thing locks up

Other guy is just loud when he's on the phone. No reason for it. Plus its a small office but it does have a door. Which he closes but because he's so loud it amplifies the **** out of the sound. Plus he's abrupt so to speak and just kinda an ashole.
