D.u.m.b. co-workers POLL
What is something that bugs you about a coworker (or two)...
I find it funny seeing how many stupid people there are out there!

Re: D.u.m.b. co-workers POLL
I have one who thinks what he says isn't as rude if he says it with a smile..
"A client of yours called me instead of you becasue your line was busy (smile), so I HAD to deal with them - next time pick up your phone (smile)" adn then walks away before you can say anything...GRRRR
BTW - jerkoff, we all work in the same finance department so it's OUR clients...deal with it!
People who give no thought to what they are going to say and WHY or WHETHER it needs to be said. See my post below about the microwave. Waste of sooooo much time and energy.
People who don't share information. It drives me crazy. We all work for the same dept, they guard some of this sh!t like it's their own. Makes my job harder.
People who monitor other people's comings and goings. NOT your problem or business. That's what bosses are for!
The only person who bugs me at work is our 75 yr old receptionist( is she ever going to retire or die???). She consistently tries to make most of the other emplyees in our office(even the associate dentist that I work for) look incompetent or lazy. The only people she doesn't do this to are the ones that kiss her ass all of the time.
If there is a God, I'm hoping that she decides to retire by the time I finish my Mat leave and go back in January.
I could come up with a million but my favorite was today.
A gentleman that sits close to me came up and told me (out of the blue) that I am not a girlie girl (not that I disagree with him) but his reasoning was:
All I could respond with was "Excuse me but I need to leave now."
I have a coworker who must MUST have her microwave popcorn at 2pm every day. If the microwave is tied up she gets right jittery... Then she walks around the office chatting with people and eating the darn popcorn. Stinking up the office with the darn popcorn then inturupting everyone while she eats it.
and she NEVER NEVER offers it to anyone.
I am usually very calm and reserved... but I feel like I'm going to loose my mind at about 2:05 every day.
Gross. Our employee handbook expressly bans microwave popcorn because of the smell.
Men in my office are very inappropriate. I dress very conservatively at work but one day made the mistake of wearing knee high boots with a dress that was below my knees. I attended a sales meeting only to find out after the fact that my ?boots? were all the talk amongst the men, (imagine the most inappropriate things they could say) my boss included. I have never worn boots since and am still fuming over it.
Here too. Not allowed.

Okay.. I'm not sure how to copy and paste, but those are form the last post.
Ugh I wish it wasn't allowed, but the worst part is that I normally hate the stuff and then last Friday night I just couldn't stop myself from buying some and making it at home. She's sucking me in!!!
My same guy from above does this...I honestly believe he has a spreadsheet saying In - Out - Talking with others etc...
My boss got a 'complaint' that someone spoke to him about and they are very stressed due to "the audit" and when they hear me laughing/talking it makes them angry...my boss was basically telling me who it was and said just go talk in the kitchen so "the person" doesn't see or hear you.
I mean COME ON!!!
This. I came in after lunch one day and the woman who sits kitty-corner to my cubicle told me, "Someone came looking for you. But I don't know them and didn't get their name." Well dumbwad, why did you even bother opening your mouth then? (Have I told this story here before? Sorry if I have...)
