    I used to work with this id10t and he used to crack his neck 10 times a day, it was on my nerves you could hear it across the room. Between that and his spit cups laying around I was pleased when he was "let go" Oh yeah I almost forgot about his "snot rockets" onto whereever he was at, carpet, tile, indoors or out. I wanted to beat the he!! out of that guy.

    I've got a guy a little step away from my office that likes to sing snippets of popular songs off key. He's terrible, I doubt he could even hum the tune close to the key in which it was written. I wish I had an office door that I could close to keep out the cacophony.
    end of line.

    May seem petty, but I got a co-worker that starts all of her sentences with "Listen...". Drives me freakin' batty.

    I don't usually talk to my co-workers or deal with them in any way, shape or form. I just lock myself in my office most of the day and post on WD or AC, and play Black & White, or do other constructive things like that. No one needs to actually talk to me. That's what the intercom & voicemail are for!

    My colleagues had tendencies never to return things they borrowed. That really pi$$ed me off. So I 'borrowed' a monile phone, hard disks, memory, mice, keyboards, monitors, etc,etc. They never asked to borrow again

    I had a guy working for me once that would starting giggling and snorting over the stupidest stuff and it didn't matter if you laughed along, smiled at him or just looked at him like he was stoned. He was good with the comps so I suffered it for quite a while but one day he was typing up a letter to a customer who was an Assistant Manager of a clothing store and listed her name at the top as "Asst. whatshername" and when he ran the spell check of course it didn't recognize asst. and suggested "***" as a replacement. Man, that episode lasted for a good ten minutes and I had to shut my door while he explained it to everyone in the building. However, after sending her the letter, he felt compelled to call her and tell her about it. I felt compelled to fire his "asst." I tried to but he went to giggling and snorting again like I was kidding and the guilt hit me so I couldn't follow through and tell him I was serious. I just gave him the stoned look and went back to what I was working on. I did have a talk with him about it though and apologized to the customer as well. I hate it when I have to do that.

    Wait until a group is around & say "SHUT THE HELL UP!!! WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU!!!"

    This worked for me on more than one occasion. It really makes them feel like crap & they wont talk to you for about 3 weeks...but the annoying habit stops.

    I had to use this tactic on a stupid woman that worked in our office that liked to chew gum all day with her big mouth open. All I heard was "snap, suck, snap, suck" ALL DAY LONG. Finally I couldnt take it anymore & went off the deep end. I looked like a total prick, but the chewing ceased.

    Ok.............I have to admit it.......I whistle and huff when I'm working.......I don't know I'm doing it until someone tells me to shut up or change the tune.

    This is the end of todays confession. Oh and yes it bugs the he!! out of me when someone else does it.

    Mine, is not whistleing. He's always always trying to clean his teeth using his lips. This makes a terrible sound that drives me crazy!

    Maybe I should offer to help him clean his teeth using a.. screw-driver!!!
