There's this gal in my office. She's a little younger than I am and really quite nice.

BUT...she has this annoying habit of trying to finish EVERY FRICKING SENTENCE before you do. So she asks how my night was last night and then proceeds to try and anticipate what the end of every sentence may be, while nodding like she already knew. If you know...DON'T ASK ME.

It drives me up a wall. It's the only thing that keeps me from spending time with her outside of work. She wants to go hiking but I think if I got her in the woods, I'd want to leave her there. :D

Yeah, or really gross. Like, "So I went and ate at this Mexican restaurant last night, and my stomach was churning afterwards and when I got home, I ran into the bathroom and...and then I...and then I...some more!"

Maybe I'm just an #&%!$, but I'd ask her if I could finish my own sentance for a change. Now what would be funny, is if she finished that sentance for you.

LOL @ dayhiker. I can't bring myself to do that because I think she's a sweet girl...she just has a really annoying habit. If I didn't like her, I'd do it in a heartbeat!

I've thought about speaking English when I start talking to her and finishing every sentence in Spanish. muahaha

I swear....there is a secretary I have to talk to on the phone. She HAS TO WEIGH 300lbs + because every time I am on the phone she is eating as she talks.

What do you do when a coworker who had some "enhancements" last winter decides to wear her summer shirt from last year?

Looks like a life raft still in the package with the pin pulled (LOL).

Annoying? Not really but it can be really distracting (LOL).

So what do you do..other than post photos here on this thread?

I would probably tell her I want to get myself some of those and ask her if she would let me touch hers to feel how "authentic" they feel to the touch and handling.

Try it XL.

I just got back from training with 325 people where there was one person who saw fit to provide about 30% of the discussion.

By day two, any time there was a question, the whole room would turn and look at her.

We had people like that in the service. After hours personal training sessions usually took care of it.

Annoying co-workers...

...when you're since 7 weeks on a diet and really try to loose some weight and a co-worker puts a large pack of marshmallows into the kitchen for everybody to enjoy.

Wanna guess who that co-worker was? :-) :-)

When I get sent to a training session that I think is useful, then I don't give a damn about the people who just want to give it lip service and just get out as early as possible. I am going to take advantage of the knowledge and expertise available to me at the time and ask the questions I want to know answers too. I guess I am annoying.

But when I am sent to useless fvcking training I want to strangle the bastard whose yapping is going to keep us here the full scheduled time :)

Asking questions is one thing hyway. Being the "center of attention" and the "eager beaver" is another.

this is hyway we are talkinga about...

Surely he knows all about an eager beaver's center of attention.. or is that to center his attention on the eager beaver... or to pay attention to the center of an eager beaver...

Heh, I just went through a few of the "trail name" type threads. Those were funny.

We have multiple kitchenettes throughout the building I work in. Management won't pay for soap for them (only in the bathrooms), so people often buy dish soap and leave it by the sink in their local kitchenette.

I bought the last bottle, and it lasted until it was gone last week. Went ahead and bought a new bottle and left it by the sink this morning. I went to wash my dishes at lunch - no soap. @ssholes.

I walked around the building and eventually found it. Left a nice note above that sink thanking the thief for being such a considerate person - and printed out a half-dozen more to replace it when it gets ripped down. @ssholes.

Project crunch time and there's always that one idiot who calls, ten times a day, to tell you every little bit of minutae about project developements on his end. It doesn't matter that there are a dozen other people with similar situation who manage to keep their questions/updates just to one call a day or better yet, not call until they are actually done.

My phone has caller ID so now I just ignore his calls and pitch him into voicemail.

LOL...okay the "Princess" is a mid thirtyish secretary of the "big big boss". She has the enhancements, has had tucks, and snips. If you get blessed to speak to her she imagines she is out of the 'level" of even a beauty contest.

She also drinks heavily. Last night was apparently "tequila/burbon/mexican food" night. Today she apparently had decided "if I look hot no one will notice I am hung over as hell".

PROBLEM - her outfit is white tight pants, bright RED thong, and a rather skin tight silky button down shirt and thin bra. At some point today I am thinking she sharted.

So um how would you mention it to her?
