Annoying people you sit by at work

[jtvang125]

There's a guy about 2 cubes down that's a habitual throat clearer. Every 15-20 seconds you hear the loudest "argh argmm". Then there's this chick right in front of me with perfume so strong I can smell her 2 cubes away. Just wrecks havoc on my allergies too. And then there's another guy that's always laughing in an Elmer Fudd type of laugh when talking to customers.

For people who have offices I envy you.

Yay for your own office.


Ive been in cube land before though. Actually it was worse. It was the open-style, where everyone could see everything. :thumbsdown:

The girl next to me has the Lady GaGa pandora station I swear. A little part of me dies on the inside.

I have "Chomper" next to me. I have to leave the office every time he eats because I can hear him chew, even with his mouth open. He also routinely blows, literally, like he's trying to blow out a candle. He's pretty high strung, constantly blowing and cursing and banging. I think (hope) his head will explode someday.

I'm lucky... the cubes in my office are spacious and they use taupe walls instead of the typical battleship gray ones. And I have a window.

But anyway, my neighbors aren't too bad. The woman two cubes down has an annoying high-pitched squeaky laugh so whenever she's on a personal call it can get annoying, but she's not on the phone THAT much.

Headphones FTW!

I have a guy that's always on the phone with telephone/cable/etc company and cursing at them to lower or remove a charge.... Other than that it's incredibly quiet

i used to have my own office, i noticed i was really bored, listless and tended to need to fight off naps regularly. i expanded my desk size and moved myself into the "bullpen" area with the service manager, an engineer and the area for our technical manuals to be built. im much happier, its easier to get thru the day when you have a few train wrecks to watch. my area takes up about 1/3 the room, the only ac vent is directly over my desk. its loud as hell but nice and cool. people have their quirks and weid foods sometimes, but im usually pretty oblivious to it all.

earplug and nose plugs ftw?

I've got the slurping gulper guy in the next cube.

Every morning, he gets a cup of coffee, sits at his desk, slurping and gulping every 15 seconds. Does this until the cup is dry, then proceeds to do this 3 or 4 more times during the morning.

 

[vi edit]

There was one guy who sat a row over by me that I think had Asbergers Syndrome. If somebody's cell phone went off on a really long ring tone they would would literally growl so loud that everyone in a 4000 sq/foot building could hear him. He'd also growl if people in the rows next to him were talking to loud. He looked like a tubby version of the pillowpants kid from Clerks 2.

There's a chick who sits a few rows over from me that has the most bizzare laugh. You think she's breaking down into tears. It goes on for like 30 seconds and you think she just got the news that somebody shot her dog or something. But it's a laugh. And she does it like 5 times a day.

Yeah it's hard for me to deal with silence too, so I just throw my throw on my UEs and done. It's kinda scary when people sneak up on you though

 

[DainBramaged]

Civilians are so strange.

<-- Unpaid Intern with own office, Dont hate

 

[queenrobot]

I sit in a lobby all by myself. The most annoying thing I can hear is a baby crying in the office to the right of me. I don't know why people think it is appropriate to bring their newborn into work with them when they work at a company that has prospective clients visiting all the time.

I hate slurpers. Just because it's not ice cold doesn't mean you need to eat it like soup, motherfuckers.

Yeah, but the gulping was worse. I swear I did not know that a human could make so much noise swallowing liquid - until I heard this guy .

I've sort of got my own office currently... It's a mid size room with 4 'cubes' in it, but I am the only one here. No one has occupied the other desks for a few months now. Got my own door, my own window and MY OWN WHITEBOARD!

Anyway, as I try to contain the excitement.... I got an extremely annoying coworker who has to constantly come over and try to chit chat with me. Here I am trying to do important work (like neffing on these forums) and this guy comes along sits down and comes up with the same mindless chit chat like what I am going to do over the weekend or what I ate for lunch. I just want to bang my head against the wall.

I dont know how this guy holds on to his job... I swear he is never at his own desk, he is constantly at someone else's trying to make annoying conversation. And if he *ever* actually does make an attempt at working on something he always is asking me for help. Again... how the hell does this guy hold on to his job ???

 

[amdskip]

I've got one office out of the 3 here all to myself and there is no one in the big room that connects them all. One co worker at the far end but I hardly ever hear him, a window, and my own heat/air that I control. Very happy here.

 

[brtspears2]

I got a guy that whistles on the right while he works, and a guy on my left that has to run over everytime there's a new movie trailer out and has to share with me

 

[gar3555]

meh..own office. The only complaint is that our hall's thermostat is in an office with a lady who has constant hot flashes. Right now it is 67F in our office. I brought my jacket in this week. Also has been 100+F outside all week.
