I just got back from vacation today, and it seems I am taking a full broadside from all the annoying people who work near me... maybe I had grown numb to it before, and vacation re-sensitized me...
We have
Loud Phone Talker: You can hear this guy all the way across the office talking on his phone. Sir, if the person you are talking to can't hear you at normal levels, make sure you have the mouthpiece near your mouth. Also make sure that you are using a phone, and not two cups with string attached.
Socializer: Literally works his way down the line of cubicles informing everybody how smart he is and how him and his life is awesome. Bonus: this is my first pick for the employee that will go postal. I have my escape route plotted.
Cell Phone Talker: Similar to loud phone talker, but she is just right next to me so at normal volumes I can hear her. She runs some sort of animal rescue as well, and apparently needs to talk about it while at this job... so I get to hear about swollen dog testicles and excrement and similar things. Hooray.
Throat Clearer: This is a classic; he has been clearing his throat about every 5 minutes for the past 7 weeks. Additionally, he has started making this other sound, the only way I can describe it is a chiuahua trying to growl while choking on a chicken nugget.
Loud Talker/New Mother: Young mother who thinks everybody wants to hear about how she was up all night because her baby was crying. Again. I have no sympathy because A. I've heard it 500 times and B. you leave every 15 minutes to go to your special room to milk yourself, where I think you are actually just napping.
Incomepetent Underling: Yes you are relatively new. No I don't have time to do your work. Try to figure it out on your own first.
Annoying Wiener Kid: Don't interrupt my conversation with somebody else by repeating what I just said and adding "Whaaaat" to it. Also, you look like a wiener.
Sorry, just had to vent, and now I feel a little better
Anybody have any similar/different annoying coworkers?
