Also the time he was wandering round for days saying "Ginko Biloba" was bizarre.
I think he lost his mind some time ago. God knows how the company keeps going.

My usually okay co-worker has turned into a raging ass over the past couple of weeks. Everytime you tell him the phone is for him he slams whatever happens to be in his hand at the time (pencil, pen, mouse, whatever) and starts cursing. This is when he's not just randomly throwing things around his desk in frustration.
We get it dude, we're all fucking busy. Deal.

my (female) co-worker stares at my chest indiscreetly when she's talking to me. totally weirds me out.

ppl exist and i just wanna exist by myself 2day.
aggressive self-importance in the workplace is the worst. well, either that or staring at someone's chest? geez!

This same co-worked also constantly bitches about how he has "too much work to do", yet leaves at 5:00 on the button every single day. Which, whatever, but its annoying when everyone else in the office is routinely pulling 10-12 hour days.
He also shuts down all his programs at 4:50 and sits there with the Windows log off dialog box up on his screen for ten minutes, waiting for 5:00 so he can click 'Log Off'.

I often catch our intern looking at my cleavage. But when he sees I notice he quickly looks away. He's 20. I feel bad for his lack of impulse control.
― Ms Misery, Thursday, 9 August 2007 14:23 (sixteen years ago) link
um he needs a punch in the face? the co-worker, not the intern. the intern just needs a girlfriend.

my co-worker is female, straight and has bigger boobs than me, so i don't know what she finds so fascinating.
― Rubyredd, Thursday, 9 August 2007 14:27 (sixteen years ago) link
The fact that yours are smaller? Perhaps she's considering a reduction.

you're 100% about the first and second details about her?

i can't be 100% sure (well i could be about the first if i demanded she *prove* it) but i'm 99.9% sure. and she doesn't stare at them in a "i'd like to get my hands/lips on those" kinda way. she just stares. i'm less irritated and more comfortable with the gropings i get from my italian co-workers at the restaurant.

One of my coworkers has an annoying habit of being a biotch.
OK sometimes Coworker: My neice isn't even 2 years old and she knows her alphabet and numbers... and the woman at the daycare center was saying she's exceptionally smart for her age... Killjoy biotch coworker: You know, that's not always a good thing though. OK s coworker: What? Killjoy biotch coworker: A kid being that smart... It can be sign of severe social disorders.
Then today when a coworker was talking about how well-behaved her kid is, Killjoy biotch coworker says, "You know, you really don't want a kid who always does what you ask them to do. No one does. No, seriously. Those are the kids that no one likes."

I used to date a girl who yelled at me whenever I clipped my nails in public. Then, 10 minutes later, she'd ask for the clipper.

I had a coworker who would suggest income-inappropriate "enrichment" activities for our clients' children, such as Broadway shows or art classes for children whose families struggled to put food on the table. I'd suggest something like "go to storytime at the library (free,)" and she'd be like "riding lessons are great!" It'd make the clients so uncomfortable.

In my last job one of the accounting girls did that! She was a short bouncy asian lass - very nice and friendly, but very touchy feely and a bit TOO chirpy, and she always fecking ran/bounced everywhere, which made this loud THUMP THUMP noise (nb she was not fat or anything).

i have one of those too. she's a model but thunders like the mighty rhinoceros when she runs!

A friend of mine that I work with will listen to music at her cubicle as she works, which is fine...but she sings along with it, and she has this squealy whiny voice.
What's worse is that she does it with the song on loop for about a half an hour and sings the same passage over and over.
― Bo Jackson Overdrive, Wednesday, 16 January 2008 04:01 (sixteen years ago) link

We have a separate playroom for the childrens! Some days, I want to go in there, lay on the bean bags, and play NES.
My biggest pet peeve is the co-worker who asks random questions to the office at large? "What's the date today? .... ..... Anyone know?"
"Anyone see 'Lost' last night?"

Woman near me plays music on the computer at incredibly low volume = okay, whatever, who cares
Music would seem to come from some kind of 90s alt-rock internet radio channel = okay, whatever, who cares
But now it's been several months during which I have heard, each day that I am in the office, the following songs, sometimes multiple times per day: "Wonderwall," "Buddy Holly," "Been Caught Stealing," "The Distance" ...
Is this it, forever? The same 50 songs, every day, until one of us changes jobs? Will there never be a day where she comes in and feels like listening to jazz, or something? It's kind of weird.

usually the issue isn't recognizing it as much as realizing there's just *so many* toxic people that if you sacked them all at once, the company would have to close for a month

the one thing I always found about toxic people is they rarely expect people to parry, and the few times I have they actually recoiled in shock.
no prouder moment than when I fuckin' faced down one of the top execs in our company after he was being a prick and he just let me.
