The absolute that I have to work with for the next two weeks who thinks he is the bottom line in any sport related conversation. He tried lecturing me this morning on why Eduardo should be banned for diving against Celtic last night. I don't give a fk, now get on with your reporting as it is slowing me down!

Also a couple of people who lie about the most ridiculous things, although I am not annoyed by them, I just pity them.

Easy way to deal with this.

Everytime he says something, look up and say "Huh?" or "What?" or similar, like you haven't quite heard him.

He'll either say "Sorry, I was talking to myself", in which case he'll get the message soon enough, or he'll re-interate the bks he was spouting about having to find a file, to which you reply "Why do I need to know that?". Again, he should soon get the message after a short while.

Oh, I see. I thought from the thread title that you were asking how to go about annoying people in the office. I was just about to say "talk to yourself loudly, forget to wash more than once a month and leave your mobile ringing on the desk while you visit the loo". wobble

If you and the other two (who don't talk away) head to the office with little yellow earplugs in, this subtle hint may help....

A colleague across the room - his chair creaks and he can't sit still which just makes it all the worse.

Also all the tweeting he does on his iphone. tt.

I work with a Teflon coated, 6'2" bold tt with a gap between his trousers and shoes that dribbles when he speaks to women. He has never ever ever made a mistakerolleyes

Woman in our office of indeterminate age with a face like a welder, could be 45 or 60. On any given day she will appear dressed like my grandmother and look about 80 then the next day she will change into a porn star, with high heels, short skirt and buoffant hair, she has the figure of an athlete too, WTF is going on?!

Yep that bloke who works from home in my spare room. He's a right tt. Never cleans up behind himself. Farts. Talks to himself. Lets the phone ring. Hardly seems to bother having a shave the scruffy bugger. I'd like to give him a piece of my mind.......

Hmm, guilty as charged on that once or twice a week. I like the way it looks, but it just goes to prove what others probably think of me in the office!!

As for the bloke talking to himself, he might be thick skinned like the bint I work with who does the same thing. Nothing seems to stop her.

tt in the office who turns up 2 hours late, does sweet FA all day other than surf the net and post nonsense on PH and then has the audacity to charge a fortune for a supposed “days work”. !

Oh, that’s me isn’t it…… wobble
