A certain co-worker of mine brought in an envelope with my name on it. She asked me if I was interested in some sort of conference while holding the red envelope. I gave her a quizzical look. Then, she tears the envelope open and skims thru the brochure while telling me about this conference.

?This conference is for some programming language called BREW. I?m not sure why they sent it to you.? says the etiquette-less Neanderthal.

The girls who use to sit next to me would mumble out loud every word she typed when she was writing emails. This was just one of about 219084274 things she did every day that would drive insane

Yes, she opened my mail. But regardless if it was an invitation to some conference, the bottom line is that one should show some manners and not open mail that is clearly not intended for them.

On the other side of my cube is the file room manager. This lady drives me insane.
First she is not very educated. Second, her ability to speak the english language is poor at best (she is american).
Everyday I hear her on the phone bitching at her kids or talking to creditors. I swear she has at least one call a day concerning her inability to pay some bill. She wants a deferral, or it reduced or something. Do that crap at home, or go into one of the empty conference rooms!
She is also the rudest person on the phone. She isn't quiet (people 3 bays over can hear every word she spews forth).
I hate her with a passion (of course I am nice to her because I don't want her as an enemy - I don't think she would hesitate to stab me in the face were I to piss her off).

Where to start... back at my old part-time job, had a coworker (ahem, kinda a supervisor-ish) that kept making very flirtatious gestures (verbal). Worst part was the entire business was very chummy so said person even did it infront of the head honcho.

And recently, keep getting harrassed about my 'youthful' appearance (I look 16 or something when I can legally gamble in the US). Got to go to over ten offices, almost everyone had the same type of people who would comment on this aspect. Then proceed to harrass me every time I walked by. Lucky I only had to go to some of those places for a few days at a time.

True. I had a co-worker that was "over" (more senior) me and he was doing the same thing.
I told our boss that it was a cime for the guy to open my mail and it stopped.

I once worked with a very heavy person who apparently did not bathe or had a severe BO issue. To make things worse, she was very 'huggy.' I almost barfed when her SO nuzzled her hair.

I once had a co-worker named Pat who smeared chocolate all over several people's monitors one morning. Needless to say he got messed with for the rest of the day by my irate co-workers. The boss at the time never found out who did it either.

When i first started, the girl who trained me made it clear that she was not happy that she had to train me (she was moving onto another position and couldn't be bothered to, you know, be polite and teach me everything she knows). I once made a mistake and she said she was 'disgusted' with me. This was about 3 to 4 weeks worth of training and i was told it takes about 6 months to learn the system and 1 year to be decent with it from some senior manager that interviewed me. Total lack of patience and class.
