PK Dec 2019 11:18am, 3 Dec 2019 70 posts	0 PK One, the always happy, perky one. Every decent sized office has one. I don't mind the happiness, but when you feel you're good at what you do....and you're not......it just becomes grating. I'm such a b**ch, I know. And, of course, I AM perfect.
Surrey Phil Dec 2019 1:22pm, 3 Dec 2019 3,373 posts	0 Surrey Phil Too many people around me coughing their guts up. I'll be livid if I end up being ill as a result.

Surrey Phil Dec 2019 5:33pm, 11 Dec 2019 3,403 posts	0 Surrey Phil You try to be innovative by getting those working at home to engage at staff meetings by using Skype for Business. Not a problem for those at home but there's always someone in the meeting who moans about the concept and can't handle the change or new idea.
cackleberry May 2020 4:45pm, 6 May 2020 1,780 posts	0 cackleberry ooooo. I have a colleague who is a VERY noisy eater, to the point I think (hope) he's doing it on purpose cos he can see the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. He also does this thing, we call it 'pissing all over' the office. He'll put his jacket on one chair, his laptop bag on another, something somewhere else etc. Take phonecalls on the edge of my desk. He's like a dog marking his territory. He has his own chair, his own desk and a perfectly serviceable coat rack behind the door. Grr.

halfpint May 2020 8:02am, 7 May 2020 30,936 posts	0 halfpint I have a colleague who has an irritatingly ‘nice’ persona. All smiles, high pitches friendly greetings and faux interest in your wellbeing. However she has a proven track record of not pulling her weight on shared projects, taking credit for other people’s ideas and generally stabbing people in the back. Every time she greets me I want to punch her in the face.
