Annoying co-workers

My coworker that sits next to me slurps his tea... loudly.

I used to work with a woman who did this:

Seriously, she did.

Yeah my co-worker blows his nose LOUDLY (like you can hear the boogs hit the tissue), and its usually right when you're eating...as well taps his shoes like he is in a Broadway play

The lady in the cube next to me, thinks everything is hysterically funny.  So glad she teleworks most days.

If you don't have an annoying co-worker you might be the annoying co-worker!

I had few in every job!  This job is with a big company and I sit in a different desk every day so plenty of opportunity to avoid people lol

Where is my red stapler?

I wouldn’t consider him a coworker, but he works in the same building.  I saw him walk into a bathroom stall with food he had just bought from a vending machine and set it down on the back of the toilet behind the water pipe.  It then promptly fell onto the floor.

I just don’t understand the logic.  He couldn’t wait until after he used the bathroom to buy the stuff?  Was the plan to eat it while he did his business?  Or was he just taking his break and decided the bathroom stall was just as good a place as any to eat his junk food?

I didn’t stick around to find out.

One of my co-workers eats almost all the time, and I have to listen to her wrapping papers

If everybody else is wrong but you, YOU'RE the problem.

I used to work with a guy that never washed his hands after using the bathroom. Several times while washing my hands, I'd see him come out of the stall, fix his hair, and walk straight out. I had to start opening doors with a napkin. Thanks for making me a germophobe!

If you're singing on Monday morning you definitely deserve any airborne object being hurled your way. I have one that sings extremely loud and is over-the-top cheerful about everything.

There was one contract I worked were we had to share desks between shifts. The guy before me would eat at our desk leaving ketchup packets, napkins and greasy fingerprints on the keyboard. I finally made him move to a different desk because I was tired of sanitizing my work area every time I came on shift.

I've worked with people who listened to music with headphones but still sang along, so all you heard was their out-of-pitch voice.

To be fair, I had to sit in an area where everybody but I would socialize throughout the day. Very annoying to me. When I talked to one of the higher ups about it, he asked me if I wanted him to talk to them about it. I told him no. I said I'd rather just move. If everybody else is happy and I'm not, then I'm the problem.

I have a coworker who, when he eats at his desk, chews with his mouth open, and I hear every single chew, and will talk with his mouth full of said food...

I have a coworker that repeatedly says he needs to  "create the AD" when I've told him several times it's called an Object.

One of my students has a coworker who eats his bagels open-mouthed, on the phone, with customers.  Seems so odd to me.

I need to try this one, LOL!

Reminds me of the guy I used to know who always referred to TCP/IP as "tiss-pip"

And the guy I worked with who referred to Ubuntu as "you-ban-to"

It bugs me when people make words out of acronyms, like referring to CISSP as "sis-P" or CISO as "sisso."

Yea, that's probably me. I fart in my cube, talk too loudly on calls, peer over cube wall at co-workers cause I'm tall and can see over them.

I only see my co-workers during Zoom meetings, so it's hard to gauge how annoying they are
