    Currently, my co-worker is fast asleep. Has been since half 10 tonight (he came in at 10pm). He snores, sleep talks, and constantly burps and scratches his balls. He also does no work at all.


    So, what do your co-workers do that wrecks your head?

    Well wake his sorry ass up! If I was working with him I wouldn't be picking up the slack for him.

    Heroin. Well not the heroin usage as such, they're just really scabby with it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,372 ✭✭✭im invisible


    not much, seeing as i'm on the dole

    but when i was working, there was this guy that just had to be there to piss me off,
    i dont know what it was, but every time we were working together, he just annoyed my head,

    i just hated the cnut for some reason, and then i'd feel guilty for being kinda 'off' with him,
    so when it came time to take breaks, i'd say 'no, you go first, i'll wait till you come back'.

    i reckon that really fu*ked with his head

    One thing that annoys me about my co-workers is when they invite you to their private events like their daughters 21st or a wedding or stag.
    I dont want to be part of their private lives or friends with them in their sh***tty dumb ass jobs.

    ((Although the last night I was at a 21st of one of the staff their was some eye candy to be had made me wonder about my boring relationship with the OH and what difference one of these hot women would make in my life)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,976 ✭✭✭✭humanji


    Pen tapping.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,653 ✭✭✭Ghandee


    Coughing and sniffing repeatedly.


    If your sick, stay at home for Christs sake! Not only is the noise annoying, but I don't particularly want to breathe in the germs and mucus you've just exhaled into the office thanks very much. :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,781 ✭✭✭Aglomerado


    :mad: Being really smelly.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,037 ✭✭✭Nothingbetter2d


    turn a security camera on him when he is sleeping then anonomously tip off the boss as to what the lazy ass is doing ;) there are many people that would gladly take his job and do it properly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,128 ✭✭✭✭Oranage2


    - I work nights too and I swear to God there is one co-worker who wakes me up every time I fall asleep, so f*cking annoying though the funny thing is he thinks he's doing me a favour.:confused:

    - Second on the people who want to be your friend outside work..."Eh sorry, busy that week"

    Thank fook I work on my own these days.

    Though when I see my reflection I tend to get verbally abusive.

    When I worked in Lidl we had this manager who was only temporary with us, he came from another store. Anyways, on the morning shift (start at 6am) when 3 of us (including the manager) would have to sort out all the specials, fruit & veg, bread, flowers, etc.

    Lazy fùck never once helped us and would disappear leaving me and another guy to sort out the whole shop. I wondered what the hell he used to be up to so I went to the kitchen where the CCTV monitor and controls were and found the fat shìt asleep in the manager's office. The window was one-sided so he didn't have to worry about anybody looking in at him.

    Most days after that when I'd check on him I'd find him just sitting at his desk, twiddling him thumbs and just looking at random things on the ceiling.

    He didn't last long at the job, though, and was swiftly fired for the amount of screw-ups he did.

    One of my work colleagues is a dragged up cavan savage. For some reason he takes a scissors to his jeans and cuts about 6 or 8 inches up the leg from the bottom, so that they will fit over his boots! Not even on the seem, just anywhere on the god damn leg is fine

    I've made some great friends through work. Don't understand why some people think it's 'wrong' to socialise with your co workers....


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,663 ✭✭✭Immaculate Pasta


    I had an old co-worker who used to cycle 10 miles to work everyday. So he'd arrive in the morning caked in sweat, he wouldn't shower and would proceed to make himself some homemade porridge in the staff room. He'd mix it around with a dirty fork and drink it from a plastic container. Why he wouldn't use a spoon and a bowl I'll never know. He'd drink the porridge and of course some of the porridge would get in his beard which would be on his face all day. It wasn't a nice sight to see a sweaty 60 year old man with porridge in his beard every morning. :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    Talking to himself, in fact I can see him at it right now out of the corner of my eye.....really gets on my goat! The arm gesticulating will start soon :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,566 ✭✭✭Funglegunk


    My co-worker epitomises the '****-rolls-downhill' attitude. She gets in trouble for not doing something, then combs through our network looking for some trivial administrative task for me to do (jobs that only really get done when you're not up to your eyeballs in more important work), finds it, then e-mails me while CCing my boss and leaves snarky comments like 'I shouldn't have to remind you of this'.

    What a lovely person.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,309 ✭✭✭giftgrub


    Theres a bint in my place thats always on about how how she hasn't got the ride in ages....

    She's also taken to reading out loud tweets from the irish 50 shades of green thing....

    I used to work in a bar and when ever it was quiet I would try to get some shut eye in the corner only to wake up to find one of my colleagues rubbing his penis against my slightly open mouth.

    But you'd have to listen to loads of s**te offa her, the last fella couldnt take it anymore and dumped her ass while they were away on a weekend together..

    I only want the ride, not a relationship ffs!!!

    Now 'DUURTY' as in she'll stick a finger up me hole or 'DUURTY' as in she needs a good wash and looks like something the cat dragged in???

    We have one who's mission in life is to 'make a collection' for everything remotely connected with co workers lives:
    Birthdays
    Funerals
    Weddings
    Leavings
    Hospital stays

    and when she is not doing that she is asking you to 'sponsor' someone she knows.

    There was one section of our place that had a high staff turnover at one stage, every week it was "Sarah's leaving" or " Sign a card for john?"

    I stopped talking to them, that way i wouldnt have to kick in for a whip around.

    Another thing that annoyed me was a co worker of mine used to bring the most horrendous dishes into work for her lunch, often strong smelling fish that would nearly have you gagging! Luckily she was moved soon after to another part of the office!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 936 ✭✭✭Fentdog84


    Used to work in an office and had this manager, was a really strange guy. used to crack these strange jokes that produced nervous, uncomfortable laughter in employees. He would call you into his office and having you sitting there for a full hour mostly in silence whilst making these occasional open ended statements like ''Am I missing something here?'' or ''Seems we have our work cut out for us'' and you would be squirming in your seat thinking ''get me outta here! get me outta here!!!''

    Leave the toilet door open when they are having a ****e so everyone can hear the burbling noises and smell what they had for breakfast.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,252 ✭✭✭Africa


    Supervisor who is late every morning often by an hour and up to 2 hours, lazy, disappears on 2 hour lunch breaks, incompetent, and pretty useless at theyre job, yet gets annoyed if we ever do it even once (not the late thing, they havent a clue cause theyre always late).

    Problem is we are a subsidary of a US based development studio, and there is only 3 of us here, and they were the most senior after the old general manager left so they got handed it, no interview, nothing. Annoying cause Ive no power to do anything, noone here to complain to, and the only interaction is through email to across the pond who at the end of the day, only really see things through email.

    Very hard to talk to, and watches Netflix all day in work while doing as little work as possible. Horrible as I do the duties of 4 people as it is.

    And I cant get a pay rise cause it 'would bring me too close to their grade' despite myself being far more qualified to do so.

    Now THAT is annoying.
