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.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
