Annoying Colleagues...
Discussion
I'm bored today, so I thought I'd share a couple of gripes.
I am currently contracting for a large bank and we have a very diverse range of colleagues here. For the most part, this is great. However, in my team there is one person who really stands out and annoys the hell out of me!
The guy seems to be talking constantly, and this in itself wouldn't be so bad, but he talks in the worst drawn out drawl and he also mumbles every single word of it.
It's all I can hear for most of the day, and in the size of room we are now in, there is no escaping it! He's literally starting to drive me a bit mad! If he didn't mumble then it wouldn't be so bad, but Christ, all I can hear is this constant, low, monotone noise...
Argh!
Oh and it's almost lunch time so the dude next to me will soon bring out some really smelly food to compliment his constant burping and belching (for which no apology is offered).
I think it might be time to start looking for a new role....

They're is a guy at my work who delights in annoying people, finds fun in people doing silly things (ie f
king up) and generally thinks that the majority of people he works with are below average IQ..
Funny thing is me, Simples, im that guy and I enjoy it.

There's a guy here who snorts so much I'm beginning to think he lives purely off swallowing his own phlegm.
I used to sit near to a chap that did much the same thing, but supplemented his diet by eating his snotters. I swear, I once caught him sucking the boagies out of his hankie.The snot and phlegm diet also seemed to cause horrific flatulence.
For context, he is a 60 year old man who was a former consultant heart surgeon.
Lets see,
The 72 year old: opposite I have a man who horks back greenies all day, has about 3 teeth and eats with his mouth open and burps all the time through the day. How the fk someone can eat watermelon loudly I have no idea, sounds like a cement mixer FFS!
Fatty Lazy bd: behind I have a guy who almost never comes in on time, dicks around all day and wears sandles and waves his bare feet about whenever we are in a meeting which is grim, he also has the table manners of a pig.
Director 1: The gaffer in the corner plays games on his computer all day (doesnt even bother to turn the volume down).
Director 2: Has the loudest most obnoxious voice in the world, also watches live football in arabic with the volume up - LEAVING IT ON when he walks away from his desk, he also threatened to fire anyone who touches the AC which is set to 17C because his office gets a bit warm for him some times.
Director 3: Thinks nothing of letting rip farts in his office with the door open and telling 30 minute fantasy stories when you ask something that could be answered in a 5 second sentance.
Director 4: Never here, when he is complains that I'm listening to music through earphones (to try drown out the filth going on around me)..I've not listened or had earphones in since Feb but he still raises it just in case I have had.
...I hate it here.

Ha, I sit next to a 'noisy eater' who can't seem to chomp crisps without his mouth open (but eats like a domesticated human with any other food?!) and if he has soup / noodles he slurps like a broken coffee machine...TobyLaRohne said:

It's the people who criticise others that often make the same, or bigger mistakes themselves. They just can't see it.
They're normally self absorbed little tits who nobody likes too.
Anyway - OP ...try some good quality noise cancelling ear-buds and a music player!

Let me rephrase the question.....er...."in what sort of environment do you work where this awful behaviour is acceptable?"

Sounds just like a bloke I work with, except he doesn't mumble he shouts.I am currently contracting for a large bank and we have a very diverse range of colleagues here. For the most part, this is great. However, in my team there is one person who really stands out and annoys the hell out of me!

He's month never stops moving, he is either talking out of it or filling it with food, weighs 20 stone.
He is also full of s
t, a proper eleven-a-riffe, his nickname is FIGJAM.We've got a bloke in our Dept who keeps breaking into people's offices when they are away from their desk, and sending emails on their behalf to the boss, for example, suggesting that they smother each other in honey, or canvassing opinion as to the desirability of forming a departmental white supremacist movement, stuff like that.
Ok, fair enough, it's me.
