Let's bitch about our stupid, annoying co-workers

I think I'm being the annoying coworker at the moment :/

And even worse is the "here I am at work but I have BABY BRAIN so I cannot think straight or get anything done" excuse. I don't get to use "I have DIDNT GET ANY SLEEP AT THE WEEKEND BRAIN so I cannot think straight or get anything done" as an excuse and I really don't see the difference.

Me: "Yes, there are two very obvious problems. One, you've done [blah blah blah], the same mistake that you made last time you had to ask me for help with this. Two, you've missed out a closing quote mark on one of the tags on the page. Look, it works now I've fixed it."

(wait ten minutes)

Co-worker: "It still doesn't work."

Me: "It did after I fixed it." *click on View Source* "no, because you've just re-uploaded your broken version and overwritten the one I fixed."

To myself: grrrrrrrr

So true. My boss has been using this excuse since she announced she was pregnant. She's not even HAD the baby yet......

"Thank you SO much." (Anytime anyone does anything.)

"I'm sorry for interrupting." (When you're doing nothing but breathing.)

"Bub-bye" at the end of every phone call.

Uses max number of words in discussing the simplest concepts.

I cannot tell you how repugnant I find it that we are apparently considered equally competent and valuable by the temp agency.

"Bub-bye" at the end of every phone call.

woah, dude, this is called manners! if this bothers you, you need to relax.

I do this, so do most Britishers. G-kit OTM.

I am not EVEN fucking kidding here.

Technician came in earlier, left a pile of CDs on my desk and said 'can you phone S4ndie [tutor] and tell her her CDs are ready?' I phone S4ndie; she's left for the day. An hour or so later, I get a call from S4ndra [another tutor] saying 'where are the CDs I asked for?' 'Oh haha' I go, 'the technician said S4ndie'. S4ndra doesn't sound very happy, comes to collect CDs. Picks them up and reads post-it attached to the pile. 'But these SAY S4ndra on!!!!' she says accusingly and does her 'I'm the most important person ever, how dare you make me wait for things' stare at me. At which point I want to say, so fucking what if they do, all I was doing was exactly what the technician told me to do and why he couldn't make his own phone calls in the first place I don't know, nor is it my job to decipher his post-it notes.

Technician = surely he can operate a phone?

Trashy coworker #2: (shortly afterward) I'm worried about my son, he's such a bully. I mean, maybe he's just aggressive, but he beats all the other kids up all the time.

Trashy coworker #1: OHHH don't worry about that, that's how my boys were.

haha, I got this dude sacked, sort of!

Archel this sux :(

don't be afraid to just say "no, I'm sorry" tho

Just yesterday, I was coding with headphones on when something made me turn around and there were like 14 middle aged teachers their asking if I knew when OFFICEDUDE would be back in. They were laughing nervously quite a bit so I imagine they had been talking to my back for a bit of time.

Things she has claimed to have:
Mumps
Allergy to tomatoes (despite eating them all the time - basically every time she gets sick off Bloody Marys she is suddenly allergic)
Crohn's Disease
Strep throat at least 4 times THIS SUMMER

ugh this is all I can think of but she is allegedly sick all the time, hospitals now refuse to give her medicine, she has completely fucked her immune system by taking WAY too many antibiotics, AND IF SHE TALKS ABOUT BEING SICK ONE MORE TIME I WILL SNAP.

Coworker: So what did you go to college for? Art something?
Me: Art history.
Coworker: What is that? Can you get a job with that?
Me: Well… (thinking: HOW CAN I EXPLAIN THIS SO SHE CAN UNDERSTAND), for instance, if I had a master’s degree I could be a curator.
Coworker: What’s a curator?

there. an official apology. now i'm going to go before i start ranting about other ppl.

The only thing I have to complain about regarding my day at work today was that someone who must have stayed in late last night decided to play around with the office's printer settings, to where this morning none of the office computers were able to print to our shared printer. We had to get in our IT people to fix things around to where our computers could recognize the printers again. This ate up a good hour of our work time, and none of us were even allowed to go anywhere. But it's ok. They'll be able to figure out who did it by the end of this weekend. And our office has glorious air conditioning, so I'm not as bad off as some of the rest of you.

but really, lots odder when YOU STOPPED WORKING HERE THREE MONTHS AGO!!!
