What kind of co-worker do you hate the most at your job?

I'm a 9-5 office drone, and I was wondering if anybody other than me has wanted to do an Edward Norton Fight Club scene at their office? The people I work with are really starting to get to me, and I'm afraid I might snap one day.

For instance:

The guy that ALWAYS leaves his dirty coffee mug in the sink because he is too important to clean it or put it in the dishwasher himself.

The old cranky kankle lady that wears the super overpowering old lady perfume. I can literally smell her coming from down the hallway.

The woman that gives me a pissy look every single time she walks into the copy room and I'm already on the copier. "How long are you going to be?" As long as I need to be dumb beezy. Walk your single, bitter cat-lady ass to the other side of the building and use the copier over there.

and finally...

The person that constantly gets the copier jammed and just walks away. Seriously? I want to punch you in the face.

I've been to prison before and sometimes I just feel like the guys in there are much more civil and respectful than the people here.

Sorry

/rant.

When I was in that environment as a construction Project Manager I literally got hundreds of emails a day. Most of it CYA stuff from everybody but still a poo load.

I had people walk up to my desk like 3 minutes after they sent an email and say"Did you get my email?

I wanted to respond uh yeah because I just sit here and wait to pounce on anything you send me in between games of Peggle. If you want a quick answer just walk over here and ask me goofball.

I do a lot of work with the Fed and Dod and my resellers are always so damn scared to write anything in the bid responses.

I'll get an email per question asking for my input. They copy everyone and their mother for CYA purposes and say thanks thats should do it...then bam another question. Just send the the damn thing and let me fill it out for you.

I don't work in an office setting (I'm pretty sure that's not too common among college students) but I do work at a 4 star Italian restaurant during the summers and winter breaks. There's this one waiter who is so nosy that it annoys the poo out of everyone there. He's always trying to get into everyone's personal lives for unknown reasons. He's 18 and was already married until his wife beat him up for watching porn; now he's getting divorced. At 18!!! He doesn't know the menu and always screws up orders, but the owner feels too sorry for him to fire him.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
