Annoying co-workers

“Me too!
LOL”

“the one that got me was that the people I work with are a incredible bunch of winners but the rest of the department suck fat ones”

“and I take full credit that the team I work with are incredible because I hired everyone of them. I didn't have anything to do with the hiring of the rest of those losers”

“You're such a special guy hyway! You always tell us so!”

“i could go on and on about what a bunch of pc pussies i work with. its really ridiculous. they have no problem if someone is vulgar, but if i make a politically incorrect remark, all of a sudden, im unprofessional”

“I'm offended, Crash!”

“yep - I'm certified


I also lied a lot”

“todays incident

we were talking about skin being dry or not dry or whatever

nino (who is italian) said something about having oily skin. so i said "oh you greasy wop"

yes, it was offensive, and wrong and blah blah blah

but one of the big pc hounds in our group just looked at me like i just gave birth out of my anus and said something about being unprofessional

but this nino guy, every day, you can count on him calling somebody a douche or a douchebag (usually one of the students), being vulgar in other ways, and patting his girlfriend on the ass. i dont have a problem with any of that. what i have a problem with is getting called unprofessional, while he gets away with all his antics cuz hes very popular with the group.

i hate my co-workers sometimes”

“another time, i asked a question about airline tix that nino and his gf had just purchased

my question was "did you get an aisle or window seat"

cara's (the gf) reply was a snotty "how the fvck should i know?" like i had just asked a really stupid question. well, jesus, im sorry, but it hasnt been that long since airlines assigned you seats when you made your reservation. fvck”

“Ok, this day and age, one has to qualify before they make a post like this (especially some of us) ... so before I ask the question - let me just say - I am not prejudiced. I have several friends that are citizens of Taiwan, and other countries. I just recently took a citizen of India on a hike, yadda yadda yadda ... so let's not turn this into something it's not.

Why do some Chinese people talk baby-talk? I have a co-worker, who has been in America at least 30 some years, but still has a "Chinese accent", ... but really it's more like baby talk. My other chinese friends don't speak baby talk. What is up with that? Is it like a fake accent so that he can pretend he doesn't understand sometimes? Anybody else ever experience that?

“oh, I thought this thread was where you post instructions on how to annoy co-workers. I misunderstood. Oh, well. :-)”

“That could be fun too!”

“my dad's been in this country for 40 years and still has a pretty thick german accent *shrug*”

“Okay ... now this may or may not be considered annoying. Depends on who is doing it, and who is receiving it - but my co-workers enjoy it, and they reciprocate. (fodder for another thread, I'm sure)

I invented something I call the "cubi-dance". (We have offices, so it works on cubicles, or office doorways.)

A 'cubi-dance' is where you do something different each and every time you walk by somebody's cubicle or office door.

For example, one time you might do the moon-walk. Other times, you might be pointing at the ceiling, walking backwards, picking your nose, etc...

Try it. It's fun.”

“by the way, it's pronounced: koobee-dance”

“Ah yes, life in the cube. I've worked in them AND installed them. Good times.


So I take it that because of this cubi-dance, you're the annoying co-worker and the others would like some advice from us? :P

“They've reciprocated, so they either enjoyed it, or it was payback!”

“Ha! Next time do the Randall walk from "Clerks."”

“I say "prarie doggin" is when employees pop up out of their cubes and look over the tops to find out what the big ruckus is about. My kids say "prarie doggin'" is when you ummmmmm..have to..you know, go number 2 REALLY REALLY bad like right away or else.

Who is right?”

“I can't read this from work, what's it say?

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=prarie+doggin+it”

“CD, you're right. tell your kids that's called sportin' a turtle head”

“Sportin' a turtle head. snort....

See, my kids are always trying to mess with my head. Finding a way to tease me is very high on their list of priorities. Ha! So next time I will definately use that urban dictionary Sarge. Although it's a little more graphic than I need, I get the picture...no pun intended.

Oh, my kids go by the urban dictionary definition - but there is noooooooo way I am telling them they are right.”

“http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=turtle+head


looks like we have a conundrum...”

“Actually sacco, it's "playing peek-a-boo with a mud turtle."”

“Can also be refered to as "touching fabric".”

“Or mebbe a "Hay! you got a stinky doodoo stikkin out of yer butt hiney hole! Let me get it a sniffy!"”

“Why do Mexicans repeat everything you say?
Me: "Amigo, donde es su screwdeiver?"
Amigo: "?Donde es mi screwdriver?"

or

Me: "Javy, que hora es?"
Javier: "? Que hora es?"
Me: "Javy, I'm fixin' to kill you, K?"
Javier: "?You feexeen to keel me?"
Me: "Yes!"
Javier: "?Yes?"
Me: "Yes... KILL YOU! I...i...i. Javy, trabajo. TRA - BAH - HOOOOOO!!!"”

“Well at least no one brought up a Cleveland Steamer.....”

“theres nothing like "dropping the kids off at the pool."”

“My Chinese roommate bought xmas bulbs and asked if it was ok to put them on the small tree- I said sure- what ever- she came from China while it was still a communist state so considers herself athiest- yet she is still mystified by religion. BTW she is still at the lab working on stem cell research while others are on holiday.”

“sounds like a mystery wrapped in an enigma to me.
Either that or she is just in it for the presents. Watch out if she starts hinting to you about things she wants.”

“She asks for nothing, MG - doesn't know how to change a lightbulb and gets dizzy using the vacuum. All with at PHD- gotta love the
irony in that!”

“LOL! Wow. Just prooves that you can have lots of book smarts and still be a total idiot. (not that she is)”

“That's right-MG she pays big bucks to live here with me so I can do her housecleaning & teach her how to use the DW and Laundry equip. Still a sweet (37 yo) girl.”

“are you serious?

How does one land such a sweet deal?”

“Craig's List baby- all the way! Got me to Bonnaroo with my camping gear too!”

“SWEET! I gotta go there sometime and check it out.”

“ she came from China while it was still a communist state

did i miss the revolution? last i heard, china was still a communist state

in answer to sarge's question. who the f knows? east asians seem to like things cutesy. at least koreans and japanese do”

“Yea sorry for the lull- I was scrubbin down her private bath and then got a whim to vacuum!”

“Yea-she left when she was 21 and is now 37. Her one "freind" she made here just came back from Japan and brought a gift for her- "right hand up Cat" in a clear cube to hang up somewhere. I told her I drive with my "cat" in my car. That and a HI "HAKA" helmet on the rearview.”

“i have no idea what you just said”

“OMG- I just got a netflix film called "Tipping the Velvet" then used the urban slang thingie. Gee I had to watch the whole movie to get that referance!”

“Oh Crash, my Kittie in the car is your typical right paw up for good luck thing. The HAKA is a replica of Hawaiian warrior helmets.”

“OMG she changed her own lightbulb- after she came home from the lab I asked if she needed help. She said- "Doesn't it look brighter in here?"”

“I scored 11, so I rekkon I'm a borderline #&%!$!”

“omg...we have an annoying woman where I work....she talks all the time... I know...I know...I talk alot too...but...she won't shut up...she screams & talks loud...I am going to tape her & post it....
..I came sooooo close to telling her to shut up today.....must control myself.....”

“So, is the problem that she talks to much or that you can't get a word in? There is a difference;)”

“Called Out!”
