Annoying people at work
Mr Whippy - 12/3/09 at 02:36 PM

you know the types, all they do is laugh and chat like morononic drunken chimps all day about their boring pathic lifes. Talk (shout) loudly down the phone so the whole office can hear. Turn the heating up till you feel like your going to pass out (sitting here in a t-shirt and jeans with my shoes off cos its so damn hot!!!)

To such utter PITA's would I be justifed in putting laxitve in their group tea pot and hiding all the tolet paper?

I love the heating comment, i thought that was just my office!

Why on earth must olderthanmiddle aged women be so SO hot all the time?!

edit: I realise the above sentence is open to exploitative interpretation.

Wait until the vacuous twats start singing the songs from adverts and whistling...

I'm with you...

Go for the toilet paper and laxative (Oh, and make sure your phone camera does video)

Know what you mean about public conference calls. Why oh why do people have to have the damn speaker phone on for a one-to-one call??

I feel for you, I sit in lectures and theres always two arseh*les behind me having some juvenile joke to eachother making me miss all the important parts.

Bit too specific for me that. I prefer why on earth must ALL women be so SO hot all the time?!
They're closing the windows and cranking up the heat whilst moaning. It's like breathing syrup sometimes and you can't feasibly take any more clothes off at work but they refuse to crack a window and put a jumper or jacket on.

ha! now everyone at work is looking at me wondering why im laughing. Bet theyre posting on some good house keeping forum about their odd young male coworker who keeps quiet and so far today has removed his jacket, tie, popped his top button and rolled up his sleeves.

Why didnt i think of that? Iv been working with my pita brother for over a year now and he does everything in your list and more!

We used to put ear drops into the tea of annoying co-workers - the effects were always quick and devastating.

One guy didn't quite make it to the toilet before his arse exploded - how we laughed watching him half crawling, half running the final few yards to the door. The cleaners weren't too happy either.

Needless to say his career there (Toyota, Burnaston) never really progressed any further.

I've been battling with an annoying manager at work for the past few years. I've been able to bite my tongue and get through the shifts by taking the pith every now and again by taking he odd sicky, doing the odd guvvy-job, but it's been pretty tricky the last week or so when I found that some complex reports and drawings that I had done, came back to my desk with the managers name on them! He'd submitted them to the directors as his work!! And then I found out this morning that he's promoted his mate to be my boss. A guy who has worked for us for a few weeks and has no experience of what we do. I had a showdown this morning and the manager has told the new guy that he can come to me if he has any problems. Like Feck!! He's getting an extra £8k so he can make the decisions!! Sorry. Rant over.......

I'm looking for a new job!


Simon - 12/3/09 at 07:55 PM

I'd suggest that you go see his boss so they know who does the work!

Used to have people like that when I worked in town.

Various nicknames along the lines of Eeza...., Whatta...., Blokesa......,

The bit that's missing can't be posted but "next Tuesday" might give the game away

We used to have a shop floor manager who was a body builder and a shop floor full of women obsessed by their weight.

The manager had a massive tub of weight gain 2000, and the girls had a massive tub of slimfast shakes.

We swapped the contents of the tubs one day! The bodybuilder couldn't work out why he wasn't getting any bigger and all the girls complained their diets weren't working!

Happened to a friend of mine... but he'd discretely put his name on the drawings in a way that could only be seen with a magnifying glass... that boss had some serious explaining to do, and left a short while after.

I'm working on costings for next years gas buying (we buy a lot of gas!) and I'm seriously considering a miscalculation.......

"Someone" at my place managed to get hold of a load of dry ice and popped a few good sized lumps in one of the toilets to see what would happen. After turning the cubicle into a miniature budget horror film set, this person got a bit worried about the possibility of cracking the pan, so attempted to flush said frozen gas. Sadly the laws of physics ensured that the evidence of his crime would not be disposed of that easily. Despite at least 10 flushes the dry ice got trapped in the U bend, still gassing away and causing regular bubbles to erupt in the bottom of the pan.

Beating a hasty retreat to a good vantage point the perpetrator of this crime was then somewhat horrified to see the cleaning lady entering the toilets, only to emerge a minute later and head towards the facilities manager. Cue both of them coming back to stare into a gently bubbling toilet bowl

Most fortunately the bubbling ceased shortly after, and nothing was mentioned. We've just had a new delivery of epoxy however, anyone know some good tricks to play with a box full of dry ice?
