Things your co-workers do that annoy you... - Blu-ray Forum

Chordata · 07-29-2009, 02:28 PM

I've got some:

1) We have a paralegal here who talks on her cell phone in our firm library with the door shut. If I go in there while she's on the phone, she says "oh, come on in." No kidding. She's also been known to use attorney's offices for her personal calls, again with the door shut. One attorney walked in on her one day, and the attorney was so stunned that SHE actually apologized. LOL

2) Smoke breaks. (Not a big deal with me anymore since my place is a tobacco-free workplace and everyone who was grandfathered in has left).

I can surely think of more.

Someone who eats Garlic wheatables all day long and close talks you........

Someone who gets special treatment.

Some of my co-workers tone of voice is too loud when they are talking with customers. I'm either on the phone trying to hear myself or the customer, writing a business email, or I'm listening to my iPod at work is annoying.

Oh, I hate when some of them have personal calls, I hate to hear about your life outside of work .

I'm somewhat the quiet one at work. I keep everything to myself, get my work done and go home. I'm not the type to tell or brag everyone what I did over the weekend, or what I do outside of work. If they ask, I'll tell them but not brag this and that.

Many many things. I've gone over some of them in the GC.

The fat one on my left always talks to her son. What a momma's boy. He calls her 3-4 times a day and he lives in another state. Then she always talks about how he should come home and be with mother.

She also sits on a yoga ball. I don't think thats allowed but no one has noticed. It sqeaks like it's yelling out in pain.

She also buts into conversations and always has to have the last word.

SO ANNOYING.

don't you guys have the nerve to tell her what's what? I blame the weakness of your org for such behavior

BRu-LAy · 07-29-2009, 03:37 PM

It's annoying to me when people peek over my cubicle walls to talk to me and whatnot. There's this one guy in particular who likes to peek over as he walks by. It's almost like an invation of privacy to me. It's like peeking over the stall in the bathroom to see what I'm doing. One of these days.....

Also, there's a bunch of women who talk real loud when they get together to gossip

I wonder if she has some dirt on someone, if you know what I mean.

Oh no...gossip. That's what all the ladies do at the office. It's hard to ingnore, but I can't help it when I sit in the middle of the cubes.

Mike53421 · 07-29-2009, 04:00 PM

At my old workplace it was notorious for noise and gossip, while fun at times it got very annoying very quickly.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy socializing to a degree, but there's a time and place for it. Having somebody chatting all day while you're trying to work can be irritating.

That's the biggest complaint from 3/4 of the people in my company. The "affirmative action" BS around here is just sickening. Without going into the gory details, I'll just say that we have several women and/or folks that fit other 'demographics' that have absolutely no business being in the positions they are in. But, hey, it looks good on the EEOC reviews, so that's all that matters.

What makes it worse is that they are obnoxious and extra loud.

My headphones....they do nothing!

No one cares enough to tell her what's what. It's an ANNOYANCE not a crisis. My "org" has more important issues.

Bizdady · 07-29-2009, 04:58 PM

One thing my coworkers does that gets me is Browses Craigslist personals. Just creepy...

Nah, it's more fun to make her feel awkward and embarassed by her behavior, then talk about it, then post about it.

If she was MY paralegal, she'd be gone. She's not.
