Co-workers

I'm trying to liven up Xan's day at work with some posts here....

Share a horrible co-worker story or just complain about a co-worker who has a habit that drives you nuts.

DONE! I have two

Coworker one does nothing, she sings to herself, is obnoxious and just is all around annoying....this morning she was singing to herself as she normally does and i wanted to beat someone (this is at 8:05am) she goes and gets coffee 8 times a day....its like rediculous and she gets employee of the month!

 Coworker 2 is older, works in sales, comes in maybe for 4 hours a week, is super nosy, is super rich and thinks she's holier than thou.....we had a 5 day argument about DVR's and how they work one day......she doesnt listen just talks.....its obnoxious and her cell phone is on all the time when she's here so it goes off ALL the time...and her ringtones are awful......

The girl who works for me bites her fingernails.  And it drives me nuts.  It's one of my biggest pet peeves, and it turns my stomach.  The sucking, nibbling sounds, just gross me out... as does the idea of it... all the crap that's under your nails in a typical day... gah!  gag!

One of our special ed teacher and I started out as good friends.  Things began going downhill when I was dating a guy and he came on to her via text while we were in school; and she runs to my room to tell me-um you couldn't wait till I was done teaching?  Of course the upsetting thing isn't that she told me but that she did it at a bad time and then constantly brought it up as a joke.  Then I met DH and she decided she didn't like him because "he mumbles."  She expected me to drop everything and go out with her on a minutes notice and couldn't understand that I have other obligations and just blamed it on DH. We basically didn't talk all year and then she got upset that she wasn't invited to my bridal shower.  And she'll barely talk to me professionally since she wasn't invited to our wedding-hello you don't like my husband and tell me any chance you get why would I invite you???

The lady who sits next to me at work drives me nuts...and when I say next to me, I mean less than 18 inches away without a wall between us...our 'cubes' are ridiculous and they pretty much just shove two of us in a space meant for one.  Only one of us can open a drawer at a time and we both can't try to get up at once or else our chairs bash into each other.  Anyway, all day long she talks to herself, constantly.  I must say, "huh?" "What'd you say?"  "Pardon?" a million times a day because I never know if she's talking to me or herself.  She also always tells me how high she gets and offers me some of her pain pills on a daily basis then goes on to tell me which ones are the best to crush up and snort.  This is a 52 year old women...ridiculous.  Other than the talking and drugs she is nice though so I guess it could be worse lol.

I have the world's loudest eater across the hall from me.  I can even hear him if I shut my door. He slurps cereal and yogurt, crunches on carrots, etc.  I can even hear him chewing his gum!

OMG I can't stand a lady who I work with! She has been with the company for some stupid amount of years..like 20 years. She thinks she knows everything, and she will do anything for money.

She also will be nice and very FAKE to your face, and then go behind your back and talk crap. She will do anything for attention, and she spread a rumor that i was pregnant. UGGGG! She is known for this. She is the worst person ever!

I had a woman at a previous company that was in charge of answering the phones, taking orders, and sending out invoices.

I was a manager (not her manager) and she had TAKEN my phone out of my office when I was at lunch and swapped it out for a dirty one with fewer functions and that was programmed wrong (so the button for checking voicemail didn't work etc.). She gave my phone to the intern because "she needs it more than you do."

Best part? She tried this twice over the years!! Her manager would give her a talking to and my phone would arrive back in my office. After which I'd promptly Clorox-wipe it down.

The teacher across the hall from me has no control over her classroom.  The kids have free reign.  She knows it and the kids know it.  Even worse, she admits to the kids that she lets them walk all over her and that they have complete freedom.  She laughs at dangerous situations that occur in her classroom.  It is one thing to have a laugh later with other adults after the situation is over, but she will laugh with the kids as it is happening.
