don't you hate when you finally realize the "childish" adults on your job really make you sick?

they rant and complain with you about something as simple as "umm, why did you take my stapler??? That's my stapler, thank you very much."

today one of my co-workers, early this morning, thought i was trying to take her paper towel. how stupid is that? she got an attitude with me and everything over me taking a paper towel out the machine thingy, and felt that i should have pulled the little piece down for her as well...but she was still washing her hands!!! why would i pull down the piece thingy for her too if she was still washing her hands??? that stupid hooker

ya know what the ultimate can of raid is for that kind of behavior?

yield to them. yield to them absolutely. the more ridiculous their behavior, the better.

when someone pulls that childish bullshit and you respond like their stapler is the most important thing in your world or that you want nothing more in life than to satisfy their paper towel needs, believe me - they'll leave your ass alone next time. either they'll realize they can't get a rise out of you, or else it will creep them out that you're so accommodating and they'll move on to someone else.

i have no freaking time or patience for that nonsense, and since childishness is the accepted language where i work, people pretty much leave me alone.

I am pre-programmed to swoop on threads that are about annoying colleagues/workplaces.

i just don't understand how our HR people amassed the collection of people i have to experience every day. i mean, does a recruiter stand outside a sideshow tent waiting for freaks to get fired? sometimes i just look at a certain person and wonder how they came to exist - how they were able to choose their outfit for the day - how they find their way home. it boggles the mind.

As I get older is amazews me how childish adults can act. It's scary...really.

hah, everyone at my fuckin job annoys me you kiddin?

WHy does it not surprise me you are the first response to this thread?

Anx said:

Let alone how they even got the job they have.

I think the most we argue about at work is car-parking spaces, since I got promoted, I have a 2 minutes walk to work, it didn't go down so well seeing as there are people here who have been in the company for over 10 years, and just over 1 year

Anx said:

i had to do that shit at my old job. but sometimes the childish behavior will get the better of me and do some stupid shit.

The only annoying people at my job are my husband and kids.

The most annoying thing I have to deal with is over-sharing. I get cornered into listening to long, detail-filled accounts of everything from hospital visits to relationship issues to weird dreams. I like to think I convey my disinterest loud and clear, but some folks are really great at not noticing.

oh, that part's easy. stupid people hire stupider people to work below them. it makes for easier blame scenarios. the stupidest person gets blamed, but doesn't get fired because, you know, they're stupid.

Anx said:

...yeah i often wonder the same thing about folks in our office....lmao @ sideshow tent...lol

ur funny anx

missfee said:

that is the pettiest shit i've heard so far

Anx said:

i can totally identify

That's a blessing & a curse.

Someone at my job talks ALL the time, and at a volume where you can hear her throughout the building. Moreover, it's usually not work related, but about her children or about being outraged about the new Flava Flav reality show or something.

Shit, join the Org & keep it quiet, at least!

why do I keep posting twice?

By far, the most annoying people at work are the whisperers...

kinda reminds me of people i dont like and dont know why

Anx said:

I think that, too. We run across all kind of kooks through our day. I deal with them for a few minutes, but they have to live their lives as themselves, and I have no idea how they survive.

NDRU said:

yeah we have a trifling wench like that at our job too. and she talks so loudly that one time i was on the phone with a sales rep. for our company and he heard her, he even made a comment about it "hmm, guess you all sure do have fun at your job...shooting the breeze and all..." I didn't know if i was suppose to be embarrassed or offended by his comment...because she was being SO DAMN RUDE!!! sometimes i just want to tell her to SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M ON A FUCKIN' CALL YOU CRYPTKEEPER LOOKING BITCH!!!

whenever she comes around i make a comment..."(sigh) here comes that tyrannasaurus rex bitch again..."

CHIC0 said:

I that movie! My coworkers and I sometimes talk about it and how funny it was.

missfee said:

At least you like her

Actually I do like this woman a lot, but she's pretty ridiculous. She talks to herself also, laughing & screaming from parking lot at 9:00 to parking lot at 5:00

She's also not an editor, so I come home with quote from her like:

"oh, all babys masturbate..."

"that city is like a dirty vagina"

"oh, god it was awful, they were sooo white!" I guess I should feel complimented that she's confide this to me, a white boy.

NDRU said:

i don't like that bitch at my job!!!

i'm glad to know i'm not the only person who feels like this.
