Coworkers you Cannot Stand

[ddwbi0]

we have one here called janet...they must be spreading

Nah, I like all the people I work with, although the marketing blokes could use some more catchphrases that they use to sell, then just get used to saying them so they roll over into normal conversation.

We've got one here in IT, complete incompetence. Hired to fill quota.
Took an 8.5 hour workday to install a VIDEO CARD driver, couldn't figure it out. Our team leader had a look at what she was doing, at the end of the day, and told windows to autodetect the card. It did and started working fine.

There's one guy, I think he's Pakistani, that when he goes to ask you something he'll stand right over you (like within 6") and will stay there until you give him the answer he wants. GIVE ME A LITTLE BREATHING SPACE! I don't need your crotch in my face while I'm working.

I have one and I don't even want to get into it. She is a thin white-trash P.O.S. who does are EDI and laughs at sh!t that is not funny to anyone nor meant to be. For instance, I don't know that I have heard her speak one sentenance without including this snotty, weird, undescribable laugh which is awful to hear. The most annoying aspect of her personality is that you cannot begin a conversation with her unless you are prepared to listen to hear tell you the same thing three times whatever that thing may be (ie no short quick answers or conversations). She has a few mental problems to say the least.

I work with this lady who has been here a little over a year now and I dislike every fiber of her being. Typically I am a pretty easy to get along with and congenial towards most of my coworkers but she is the big exception to the rule.

She reminds me of a troll. She's fat, short, red headed, waddles like a duck when she walks and has some type of rash on her face all of the time. Her voice is as appealing as that screeching emergency test tone you hear during bad weather.

She's just as fat as ever yet never stops talking about her newest adherance to X diet. Amazingly she seems to be in the kitchen area more than anyone and has practically worn a footpath to it. She will take any opportunity to proclaim how her "diet" is going and ramble on to others about it regardless if they were in another conversation or act like they don't really care which in truth, they don't!

She's our CPA but acts like she's part owner of the company and always has her hand in things she doesn't understand especially technology wise. I've explained simple things to her time after time and they don't sink in. I shudder whenever I have to go and help her.

I truly cannot stand this woman. Who do you dislike in the workplace and why?

is her name beth?

Now you guys are scaring me...this exactly describes a woman my gf works with


AND HER NAME IS BETH!

I was gonna ask if u were in the Los angeles area...but you're in Kansas..

WTF!! SHE's CLONED!!!

An entire work day to install a freaking video card driver!? You've got to be kidding me. :Q

I got the morning shift today with a co-worker nicknamed "The mouth". He can talk non-stop, and what little things that happens to him, he will tell everyone that comes in. So I have to endure the story a few times If I'm the first.

This morning, his story is the ebayers who wouldn't leave him feedbacks.

I work with this girl Samantha who is a typical gossip, she always has her nose in everyone elses business and talks behind peoples backs about things that have nothing to do with work. She wants to file a discrimination charge against us because my boss cut her hours, not because he doesn't like her but because she spends more time talking about people or using company time to talk on the phone than she does actually doing any work. When I get promoted in 2 weeks shes getting fired, lawsuit be damned. Ive got enough dirt on her that I don't have to worry.

Here too....wait. Is that you Matt?

 

[NuclearNed]

The person I can't stand is someone every single person knows - the office ass-kisser. We have a guy who works here that fits this role like he invented it. If his head was up my boss's butt any further, they would be scientifically classified as the same person. And to make it worse, he likes to prove people wrong in front of the suits just to make himself look smarter than he is. He talks a nice talk, but when it comes to actual skills, he relies heavily on everyone else. Gah!

 

[PanzerIV]

Well, I've avoided troll lady all day as much as possible which is difficult because she often comes down to speak with my boss who has her office right in front of mine. Not to mention troll's frequent expeditions into the kitchen. I literally sit here and roll my eyes at some of the stupid things I overhear her say and the mere sound of her hight pitched voice. UGH!

The guy in the cube next to me is called "Dougie Noodles" because "Noodles" sounds like his last name. Anyway, he is like 45 and pretty much worthless to the company, being he is a mainframe programmer and we are re-writing the last mainframe app. That would not be so bad except his problem is he thinks he is still hot sh*t when he does not realize he is about to be fired.

He complains a lot because his boss treats him like dirt and Noodles thinks he is entitled to be treated like a real person only because he has been there for 15+ years. He was laid off last year then brought back on as a consultant because no one else knows the arcane mainframe system he wrote. When his contract is up he is gone.

He complains about EVERYTHING. He was whining the other day because the FREE bagles the company gives out on Friday were a little stale any the company didn't provide creme cheese.

He also whined all day Monday because support called him at 3:00am to fix a critical problem with the system.

The best is he has been whining about his computer for months because it's really slow (all he seems to do is surf Star Trek web sites anyway). Last month the company issued an Excel spreadsheet of all the people getting new PCs in June. The list has EVERYONE in ITs name except at the bottom it said in big red letters, "DOUG NOODLES: CONSULTANT: DO NOT UPGRADE." LOL! Poetic justice! Owned!

We got our new PCs last week so me and my friend who sits next to me just keep saying really loud, "Man, these new computers are FAST! Web sites load sooo much faster than on those crappy old computers!"

WTF! How can you eat a bagle without cream cheese???

I like everyone at my current job, but I hated my supervisor at my last job. technically, she wasn't my supervisor, as we both answered to the same person and we on equal levels in the company heirarchy chart (yes, there was an actual official chart). but she had been there for years longer than I had, and she was good friends with our boss, so she treated me like she was my supervisor and there was nothing I could do about it.

She was about 5'10" and must have weighed close to 400 pounds. She had all kinda of health problems too, so she was either late or out at least one day a week (conveniently, usually on Saturday afternoons). Possibly the laziest person I've ever met. Our desks were right next to eachother, side-by-side outside of our boss's door. Our boss would give her a project to do, and with the boss still in earshot, she'd put it on my desk and tell me to drop everything and work on that. Meanwhile, she spent her days talking on the phone with her friends, walking around the office chatting, gossiping with our boss, and doing catalogue shopping.

Ugh. I couldn't stand her. Thank god I quit... the only good thing was that both her and my boss were laid off less than a month after I quit.

You aren't kidding that's the definition of poetic justice. I know you said his last name isn't really Noodles, but Doug Noodles sounds hilarious. I would love to see the look on his face when he received that email.
