Crazy wears all kinds of different faces. Never know when it might pop up and make an entrance in the cubicle next to you...

    Text - DasCthulhu 352d I have a co worker who insists on talking to me like I have 0 knowledge in my field despite me actually having more experience and a higher job title than him. He also lectures people like he is their manager even if they have been there longer than him. I even listened to him "reprimand" his own supervisor! He just gave me a lecture the other day on how to install a network printer... ive been in IT for 8 years now and in a hell of a lot more industries than he has.

    Text - gargoyle_eva 352d working in fast food, training a new guy. He got caught stealing drinks from the fridge, decided to defend himself by saying he saw me stealing cola and thought it was a job perk. (it was well known in the store i hate cola). Also he used to skip certain procedures which could result in food poisening, wheni confronted him about it, he shoved me into a wall and threatened to punch me.

    Text - izwald88 352d My bosses, which are all related to one another, being a family owned business, have no clue about technology. The VP is the worst. They are all decent people, but he gets angry when technology does not work for him. In this case, he got upset that his tiny netbook with 4GB of memory was slow. Upon inspection, he had 5+ tabs open, along with various Office apps and a music player. I found it very hard to explain that the little device just wasn't built for that kind of load.

    Text - 84th legislature 352d Currently working with a person who has had a sinus infection since November 2016. That's right: wet, chunky coughs, 9 hours a day, 5 days a week, for going on 10 months. No she does not leave the team area for coughing attacks, she just retches up whatever it is and gulps it back down. 10 months of that in a quiet office.

    Text - MrTomDawson 352d I have a co-worker who, while not a nightmare, seems to have based his personality largely on South Park. Everything he doesn't like is "gay" It probably wouldn't bother me so much if he weren't almost 30...

    Text - iRomanian 352d He eats apples slice-by-slice like a damn goat. He makes a loud crunch and makes the loudest mush noise. Every. Single. Day. Don't even get me started about the yogurt...

    Text - meraxes 352d Extremely overweight coworker with absolutely terrible BO, who also had the worst, rudest customer interaction I've ever seen. In summer she needed to be kept out back because of her smell filling the tiny office. I'm not a mean person but she was horrible to work with. When she got her period you could smell it thickly coming up from the computer chair she used. She also used to use my toilet (I lived on site) and left big shit smears on the seat nearly every day. Man I put

    Text - DanGrima92 352d I once worked with a guy who would not ever stop talking and he always talked complete shit. The further you would walk away from him because you were super busy, the louder he would shout to you A few months after he got hired, an old lady asked if he could give her some advice. He walked up to her, bent right down (He was 6'8) and said "Sure, don't eat yellow snow" and walked off They fired him that weekend

    Text - NonContextual_Text 352d I had a co-worker loose his marbles, started texting me all sorts of weird stuff and wanted to do some sort of murder suicide pact after he walked out in the middle of the day without saying a word. I was the only person on my team he did this to. Cops and corporate secuirty teams got involved. My team was told to leave the building and work from home for a while. I still work from home. I guess it worked out pretty well for me in the long run.
