Annoying things done by people you work with can be so funny or annoying.

talking too loudly/nonstop?
member of 'eavesdroppers anonymous'?
Plain boring?
Jekyll and Hyde boss?
waaaaay too much caffeine and too little inhibition

I have worked with all those types of people and many many more. What bugged me the most, being a teacher and watching the regular late comers who always left first and would not do one minutes extra work to help any one except them selves.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT?
VOTE NOW VOTE NOW

oh I hate the arrive late, leave early kind

When I worked at target, there were plenty of young employees that were not allowed to work past midnight, which of course meant they didn't have to stay till the store was clean and neat... Guess who got to make up the slack

^_^

The lady with the snorting laugh... I don't mind every now & then (heck everyone lets out a snorter once in a while) but this was every time there was even a hint of a giggle in the office the snorting would start again.

And of course the person who runs their social life from the constantly-ringing mobile phone and discusses all the previous weekends action or their plans for the coming weekend in a booming voice that echoes not just throughout the office but through the entire building! Makes it worse when their desk phone rings and rings and rings and is ignored because they are too busy on the mobile.

Phones left to ring unanswered annoy me... I don't get it how people can ignore a ringing phone and continue their chat! (maybe that's a relic from my first job in a pizza store - a ringing phone must never go unanswered... I used to have nightmares about being chased by ringing phones lol)

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

The one who insists on training me about every detail of a job - a job I have done before (I started listening because it had been a few month since I had done a particular task, and then it was too late), and telling me very basic concepts that I learned over a year ago...

girls I work with spend all day on their cell phones talking to their boyfriends instead of answering the phones.

Fish tanks are an expensive addiction

To be fair, monkeyboy, they are answering some phones.

ha ha Joe. Right you are. Called 'priority attentiveness to incoming calls'

Gone troppo, I hear you on the annoying laugh. I used to work with a guy who did a bit of a number. It was almost silent but really a toned down Mutley. Funny really.

And I recently turned down my volume on my phone. Not everyone wants to hear "Ghetto Gospel". Can't imagine why.

Open Mouth Chewing!!! Smacking lips together, popping gum.. etc. .

my biggest pet peeve in the world!! But, especially at work. When it's not so easy to get up and walk away

"it's the neck, it creaks under the weight of too much heavy thinking."

Putting kitchen utensils away before I have used them. Where is the colander I put in the sink?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~ My fish blow kisses at me all day long ~~~

People that play loud music with the bass turned all the way up all day

And all night
and the cops that don't do ANYTHING about it, no matter how many times we try

And being forced to sell your house at a bad time in the market and not having anyone come look and losing over $100 a day that the house doesn't sell all because PEOPLE THAT THINK THE WORLD BELONGS TO THEM AND CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT!!!!


And no, that didn't make me feel better.

^_^

Lighten up, Francis.

Babel that's not fun is it?
I count myself lucky that I am surrounded only by door slammers not metal fans.

Replace the above post with the word (leave the seriously ticked off angry faces) along the lines of 'people who are home and too stupid to make their dogs shut up and let them bark for hours.' We've got dozens in a stones throw of our hours.


You can also replace the above post (again leaving the seriously ticked off angry faces) with something along the lines of 'people who are too lazy to raise their kids properly and think it's okay to let them scream and yell all day long doing nothing but making little funny noises to try and get them to quiet down just a bit'
And yes, I know I'm not a mother, but I know I wasn't raised to scream for hours, and neither were any of my siblings, and you can bet that anyone that's raised in my house won't be raised that way.

*sigh*

And here I thought I'd be able to relax after a very long day trying to get things ready for next week.

That really annoys me aswell! CONTROL THOSE KIDS!

Hey Babel, check out the "pocket" EMP( electromagnetic-pulse) generators. The only downfall is you have to be within a fairly close range..20 ft or less depending on output, that will take care of ALL energized electronic within the range of effectiveness ...wiped out, totally useless.... the best discreet way to silence those noisy BOOM BOOM radios..... ( insert sinister laugh here) hehehehe....HAHAHAHAHAH HEHEHEHEHE

I hear ya on the topic of irresponsible parenting....GRRRRRRRRR

J.

ah Ironhand that'd be great, shame we're slightly further than 20ft away from most all noises. One would think we wouldn't be effected so much but there ya go.


As for irresponsible parenting, adam and I were blown away when we spotted a 4 year old at the grocery store running around in a tshirt and diaper and nothing else poking at all breads, dropping the fruit on the floor, throwing the tomatoes, and the mother not doing a thing! Later the kid started to scream really loudly.


*sigh*

^_^

I do the loud bass system. but only do it on the roads, never in near houses.

uncontrolled Kids and stupid people on airplanes.
